Updated for Patch 5.8 on steam (Balance patch notes: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/discussions/0/3317353727660644250/ ). New Auto Updater, thanks to Gregstein.

There are no further changes compared to 5.7.4

Due a game-crashing bug, this had to be updated to 5.8.1

Changes in 5.8.1 (b): Thanks to Sakura, there is also a localization for simplified chinese, as well as improved tooltips in simplified chinese now.

Changes in 5.8.1 (c): The installer no longer copies savegames when using the old patches/data mods option. Thanks to Jeowaypoint for the report. Also included a new multiplatform version of the auto-updater, thanks to Gregstein!

Changes in 5.8.1 (d):

  • Offline language files also use a new implementation with an .ini file that should solve problems with special characters in other languages, thanks to goto-bus-stop!
  • The problem with WK data mods corrupting the drs file, resulting in crashes/weird graphics should be fixed.
  • Recordings are shared between voobly and offline installation from now on - However, if an offline savegame folder already exists, you will need to delete that (back up any games!) before installation to make this work.

Changes in 5.8.1 (e):

  • Included a new version of the "Hippo Mod" for Clash of the Hippo 5. The old version is now called CotH4
  • Updated the offline Userpatch version to the Release Candidate (6268)

Changes in 5.8.1 (f):

  • With a major rewrite thanks to goto-bus-stop, the installer should now be better compatible with Linux and the core functionality is available as the libwololokingdoms library without the need for a gui
  • A variety of smaller improvements to make the installer run smoother/use less space.
  • Fixed an issue with monk outlines vanishing behind buildings for some civs
  • Included Mangrove Shallows Cup Datamod

Changes in 5.8.1 (g):

  • Fixed an issue with savegames not being shared between the voobly/offline installation
  • Fixed an issue with the music playlist not being generated properly
  • Onagers and Balllista Elephants that can't cut trees (on maps that use this) have (NoCut) added to their name

As always, the "letter" upgrades only affect your local installation, all players with a 5.8.1 version can play together.

You can either use the exe download (smaller file size, a bit more convenient to rerun the installation) or the WololoKingdoms 5.8.1.zip download (May work better with antivirus software, also doesn't create an entry in your installed programs list). Otherwise, they work identically.
