Here is what's included in today's update:
Two Player Games
Finally you can challenge an opponent head to head. To avoid giving an unfair advantage to the first player taking a turn, one third of the territories are made neutral.
Rest assured that our multi-hunters will keep an eye out for cheaters using two player games to harvest points. We will hand down score resets as an additional punishment when necessary
New Ranks
More ranks means more promotions! They are sexy too. A big thanks to WidowMakers for designing the icons
Games Won
The number and percentage of games won will now appear on the scoreboard and on member profiles.
Conquer Club Shop
CC branded merchandise is now for sale. We got shirts, mugs, hats... even stuff for babies! WidowMakers, our new Shopkeeper is in charge. He'll be announcing new products every few weeks and take in suggestions and feedback as well.
Feedback Moderation
A new department has been added to the contact form to deal with complaints about feedback. Please respect the feedback guidelines and try to resolve any feedback issues yourself before requesting moderation.
More Forums
We opened up 3 new language forums for German, Danish and Finnish. We also set up these subforums:
General Discussion -> Q&A, Strategy, Plugins & Addons
Tournaments -> Ongoing Tournaments, Completed Tournaments
Off Topics -> Forum Games
Map Foundry -> Map Ideas, Final Forge
XML Extensions
This isn't really part of the update but I thought I should mention that the XML which cartographers use to make maps on CC has become more flexible and allows for these new possibilities:
1. Neutral Territories
2. Territorial Bonus
3. Bombardments
4. Final Objectives
5. Partially Held Continents
6. Continent Overrides
We still have to properly document the XML for newcomers to the Map Foundry. Nonetheless, we all can look forward to a new generation of maps with exciting twists to the gameplay
Enjoy!
thanks lacky! now go on vacation! you deserve it! 
. Anyway, very glad to see additions to the XML options - I may re-do my map to put the neutrals in as originally designed.
