BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] After the sudden change of pace in the previous Diary, we are back to the roots! The King hates your guts (it probably has something to do with the fact you’ve sided with the Rebels) and sends every single soldier at you. So this mission, as usual for Diplomacy is Not an Option, is endless. Attacks get stronger and stronger and will overrun you sooner or later - that is, if you don’t get out of there.
Build ships, gather an army and run for your life. Of course if you can make it in time. [/expand] And that’s it for today’s Diary, but there’s more to come! Stay tuned!

This autumn, the upcoming game update will bring many great new features for Transport Fever 2 players. In addition to the expanded modding support, there are many other improvements to make building easier and even more fun in the future.
The most prominent feature of the Autumn Update is the new, fully integrated mod browser, which is available to all players on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Mac AppStore, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. With the mod browser, it is possible to browse through the extensive range of mods from the community directly in the game, subscribe to your favorites and then use them in the game. Beside the well known Steam Workshop, the mod browser will also support the mod.io platform from the creators of ModDB. By working together with them, we can now offer a common mod platform for all Transport Fever 2 editions.
To make modding easier, the modding tools will also receive useful additions with the upcoming Autumn Update. We are already supporting dedicated modders in transferring their content to the new platform and, if possible, preparing it for the console version. Interested modders can contact us if they want to make their mods available to all players.
In addition to mod support, improved road traffic is a key feature. Thanks to the revised simulation, cars will be better distributed on multi-lane roads and bypasses, instead of having to queue through the middle of the city. To make it easier to build these roads, the construction tools will be improved. For example, it will be possible to select existing bridges and tunnels and change their type after they were built, stations and depots will automatically align themselves with the road and when placing roads and tracks, help lines will support you in building exact angles.
After five years of active development with numerous free updates, the Autumn Update will be the last major update for Transport Fever 2. After that there is something new and great in the pipeline.
We're excited to present the fourth and final instalment of the Total War: PHARAOH development update series. This week, we'll be focusing on the new features and enhancements awaiting you in Campaign, the heart of the gameplay experience. From here, you'll orchestrate magnificent war campaigns, construct your economy from scratch, and scheme against your eternal enemies in the court.
Before diving into the details, just a reminder that in the previous blog we unveiled the new and revamped battle features included in the DYNASTIES update.
