So, from everything I have read, the overall reception is mostly positive. There are some bugs and design choices that could be better, but overall it's okay. The general vibe is hopeful in the community, and we had over 18,000 players on Steam, which is solid for a release of this size in a niche genre.
The release of the update 1.7 was on Monday this week, and the first hotfix patch was released on Thursday. There is a second hotfix supposed to come on Monday or Tuesday next week. I'm going to dive into the game again with that one.
Well, the truth with Paradox games is that a new update version, like 1.7, is always going to get at least 2-5 hotfixes. These hotfixes usually take care of the worst bugs and balance issues. There might even be more updates since the devs pushed their summer vacation back for this release.
So, yes, at the very least, wait until Wednesday. By then, the second hotfix should be out. Just my personal recommendation.
The game's version should be 1.7.2 by then.
well, next week it is then
