Things I saw:

  • New icons for Goon Squad and clearer distinction of special building tab callouts on the top row
  • When an opponent has at least 50% of the cash they need to buy you out of the game, a flashing percentage appears next to their name.
  • When affected by a sabotage, a flash message appears indicating what occurred.
  • A couple of sound asset upgrades, nothing specific.
  • OMGWTFBBQ 7 DAYS MODE

  • Players' shares in the Central Colony are listed next to their names.

My thoughts: if your group doesn't like early eliminations and prefers a more "Euro-

Oh! another thing that was changed/fixed:

  • During an Auction, clicking the bid button disables it from further clicking unless an opponent raises the bid.

You cannot buy stock in other players in 7 day mode

I also saw a button 'Marathon' you could choose. Does anyone know what that was about? And when do we get this new exciting patch?
