AVWW Beta 0.528, "The Overlord Experience," Released!

This one is really a pretty small release in terms of what is publicly ready in it, but there were enough player-requested tweaks in there that I felt like it was worth getting out tonight rather than waiting for a larger batch of stuff tomorrow. 



The minimap has a few more options and works a little smoother now, and overlords and lieutenants now give a consistent satisfying EXP gain rather than varying so much based on your relative civ level.  That second one is where the name of the version comes from, given there wasn't a whole lot in this one.



Oh, another cool one, though: actual music in the settlements!  It's ambient enough and long enough that it shouldn't get annoying if you're in the settlement screens for a really extended time.  And I expect we'll do some more settlement tracks to mix in with that one over time, too, since you can choose to spend so much time there.



Enjoy!



This is a standard update that you can download through the
in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you
launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found
