Fixed a bug that may cause the buff cards selection appears on Turn 2 in certain missions in the Story Mode. (It should always appear on Turn 1)
Fixed a bug that may sometimes cause the rolling credits to freeze.
Fixed a bug that may cause errors in the New Game+ mode while Mu Zhiyun is in your army.
Fixed some voice casting errors.
Also, we want to take this chance to let you know that we'll be adding a high-difficulty challenge mission "A Sailor's Tale" to The Oriental Pirate DLC recently. (It should be coming along with the DLC, but we didn't finish it in time because of the coronavirus thing.) Please make sure to keep your save files if you have finished Chapter 25 or the main campaign. Thanks for your understanding!

English localization available:
Bonjour révolutionnaires! The time has finally come: Banner of the Maid is now available in English! The English localization is immediately available as a free major update: if you already own the game, it will update automatically; if you purchase it now, it will be already in English.
But that's not all, we've got a surprise for you: The Oriental Pirate, the second DLC (and the first paid DLC) of Banner of the Maid that also releases today, is already localized to English. You won't have to wait to have Mu Zhiyun the Piratess leading her Oriental Pirates to battle!
We want to thank our community for their help beta-testing the localization. We are a small indie dev team, and all this would have been just impossible without your help! If you want to send us any feedback or suggestion, join our community in the official Steam forums or our Discord channel, or ping us on Twitter or Facebook.
Adds a new playable character, Mu Zhiyun, and a new unit, the oriental pirates, to your roster. The pirates can use both musket and blade in battles. The pirates can loot extra treasures (collector's items & special weapons) from certain enemies with their Heroic Attacks. Purchase the DLC and check out the new quest "The Oriental Pirate" in the salon. Complete the quest to unlock Mu Zhiyun and her pirates.

We’ve also added some new contents in the existing campaign. More details will be revealed later.

Banner of the Maid will release in English!
Bonjour, amies revolutionnaires! After months of hard work, we are incredibly happy to announce that Banner of the Maid will finally release in English on February 14th! First of all, we want to thank all of you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your continued support. These months since the Chinese release of our game has been the ride of our lives. We were looking forward to releasing the game for good in the West too – but we wanted to do it properly, without compromising the quality of the game. As you know, localizing Banner of the Maid wasn’t exactly an easy undertaking. With more than 300,000 words, it’s a pretty massive game! It took Azure Flame Studio a lot of effort, and it couldn't have been done without the help of our dedicated player Nāk and all the contributions of our beta players. Now we think Banner of the Maid is ready for its English release!
To celebrate this announcement, CE-Asia inaugurates today a new Discord server devoted to the game, where we hope to meet all our players (both English- and Chinese-speaking) to discuss strategies, share fanart and fanfiction, receive your suggestions for fixes and future content, and in general celebrate together Banner of the Maid. You can also join us on Facebook and Twitter so as not to miss anything about our games.
Before you start a new adventure with Pauline Bonaparte and her friends in our particular version of the French Revolution, though, we still have one final thing to ask you for. Help us to spread the word! Tell your friends, your favorite youtubers and games journalists, your followers in social media to save the date: the French Revolution starts soon – Banner of the Maid releases in English on February 14th! Aux armes, mes amies!

Xmas update for English localization
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
It's been a while since we released the English localization beta. Thanks for the tender loving care and help for proofreading/editing from our player Nāk, the English dialogue is getting an overall improvement for the moment. Since it's Christmas, we've decided to update the beta branch with what edited texts Nāk had done already, as well as adding the localized dialogue of the free DLC "Miss Elisa's Journal" (it's unlocked once you finish the game).
And we really appreciate the feedback and help from all you guys. Once the optimization is done, we'll be able to officially release the English version. Stay tuned!
