7. Interface improvement
New useful features, beautiful and convenient reports, statistic data.
Wait for announcement in Last Updates Date: December 14
Each big update will have its own announcement!
Don't miss it!
Sounds great! I'm very curious to see everything coming!
Does the introduction of tea also means the tearoom restaurant specialization will be added as well?
Also fun if for the 9th anniversary a technology 9 would be instantly available for the new factory

Tearoom specialisation already exists. Makes me wonder if its gonna require tea in the future, and make pancake restaurants the only restaurant specialisation which doesn't require paid resources? Back to paranoia ville and finance even more grapes?
Indeed Mike! Well I had a look at the tea on Lien, and there they actually use real tea in restaurants, instead of liquefied sugar in plastic or aluminium, or if you're lucky they squeezed in one tenth of an orange.
@G,
On Mary Steak and Italian require spice, which require flowers or oranges which are paid resources. On Lien they use dressings instead, which you can produce non-paid in certain specializations.
Basically there are 2 non-paid on Mary, and 3 on Lien.
Unfortunately we have to change our plan and postpone International Tea Day and Week of sales and auctions. The release date will be very soon.
We apologize for any inconveniences.

The update is actually ready.
Small spoilers (because we delaying...):
1 - New player ranking, by... With special medal and everything
2 - All ranking reworked a bit
3 - New useful geographical statistics and reports with current activated projects and some other things
Shagreen is a unique mystery product, which Virtonomics introduces just for the time of the Contest for Tycoons. Each participant of the contest receives a package of shagreen and a 1000 sq.m. store. This happens a game update before the start of the contest or during the registration, in case the contest has already started or about to start during the nearest update.
It is likely that tea will be added right after NY (Jan 1-10) due to bugs in Auctions and in Tycoon contest (They have to be fixed first and Contest should end). Although there might be a small surprise for Lien's players as a compensation
For Mary and Lien - Beetle.
Basic bonus to the brand for new franchise: +2 in all cities. However requirements for franchise factories are higher than usual. New franchise: December 11
Either the bug has a bug or it's not released yet?
