Update v0.75 - Achievements and new events.
Also in this version are lots of new events, mini-quests when you talk to another faction, and new events when you recruit survivors. War, peace and alliances work a little differently, and it should be harder to get factions up to 100% respect (necessary for alliance). Hopefully about as hard as it is to go to war with them.
I've also put up a new survey. We've got a couple months to go until our scheduled release, and I'd like to know what you think still needs work before then!
