# 18 March 2023 - prospective patch notes
## Designer's Notes
Reminder: Get CMBW's updater [here](https://mega.nz/folder/r5QXXL6I#eXy7ptVhsa_wJd-AHuPyEg)! Setup instructions are [here](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/sites/game-setup/)!
Note that the editor mpq has recently had its name changed. Adjust your SCMDraft profiles accordingly.
Aside from that: We are targeting improvements to early-game pacing, as well as bringing the strength of later-tier options in line with their costs.
