9 Kings

List of changes (0.7.44):
Gameplay/QOL:
Critical hits now are displayed in a cool orange color & exclamation marks (have fun, marksmen)
Fixed a Precision stacking glitch (sit back and watch things go POW POW POW POW)
Reinforce now shows consolidated stack damage increase numbers
Fixed some key data storage variables when loading runs
Fixed a glitch when quitting a game right before a battle starts (it no longer loads thinking you're in battle)
Perks and Decrees are now applied correctly after loading a game
Buffed initial Palace attack speed (it's now 0.37/s, and it gets wild with level ups)
Healing numbers are also hidden when "HIDE DAMAGE NUMBERS" option is toggled
Shrine now levels up a single plot per year and its effect costs less gold per level
Fixed an exploit that allowed you to re-use razed tiles (from Razing) with Earthworks or the Exploration decree (very nice catch, community)
End screen stat numbers are now properly displayed after loading a run
Fixed the apostrophe character in French
Performance:
Improved combat performance during late game for high attack speed builds
Improved the way damage is computed per frame to mitigate overflow during battle

Optimized Orchard performance
Optimized Achievement detection performance
Fixed small backend errors

Animation system revamp (that will improve performance considerably)

More balancing tweaks & fixes
