## 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: More audiovisuals (thanks DarkenedFantasies and Solstice!), and more balance changes are coming your way!
