Greetings, Kings & Queens,

over the weekend many of you have suffered from server-related disturbances of diplomatic relations between players. While we were not able to return all countries to their original state we have worked hard to deliver the following bug fixes which should put your games back on track.

• Team/coalition games have been reset to their correct/default relations. No further resets will happen.
  
• Games created between Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon (= trade embargo bug: all country relations were set to trade embargo) have been reset to peace. Again, teams/coalitions have been reset to their correct default relations.
  
• All newly-created games will work normally.
  

We are aware that the diplomacy bug has had major impact on many maps and we would like to apologize for all inconveniences this might have caused. To alleviate at least some of the troubles we have credited all affected players with a compensation of 5,000 Ducats and 7 days of Admiralty that will roll out over the course of the day.

Your New World Empires team
