# 18 February 2023 - prospective patch noes

## Designer's Notes
Reminder: we now use mpq autogeneration, and have an updater, all courtesy of Veeq7! Get the updater [here](https://mega.nz/folder/r5QXXL6I#eXy7ptVhsa_wJd-AHuPyEg)!

To use the updater, delete your previous CMBW installations and place the updater in an empty folder. Running it will prompt you to select which version of the mod to download, and a (usually lengthy) process of downloading the entire repository will begin.

Once the launcher has finished downloading the initial installation, using it to grab individual updates will be much faster, and much more automatic!

Launch times will be a bit slower. This will be rectified later.

Aside from that: We will continue smoothing out early-game unit roles and adding vital audiovisuals.
