This makes a lot of currently opaque features transparent in the user interface, and provides a new and exciting acceptance system for players to enjoy. The free update also brings Inventory System, a favorite from Crusader Kings II, in a new and improved form. Collect artifacts, from weapons to crowns and regalia. Essentially, the positions are mini-councilors that provide an effect, but have no jobs.

Building off the Windows 11 momentum Panos shared last week, we want to take a moment and share a little bit on what’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2022. It has truly been incredible to see the interest in the program grow since announcing Windows 11 last June.

The recorded profiles make it possible to investigate performance issues in specific user scenarios and debug customer problems. These profiles can also be exported as JSON, making it easy to share with peers to help with investigation. Large web applications often minify...
