Art Empires 0.25.0: Research on the leaderboard, platinum for artists, and a deck slot per office

Art Empires 0.25.0 is live. Researching technologies now scores on a board of its own and in your overall rank, an accepted card pays its artist platinum, and each Curator's Office holds its own decks.

Added

• Your research now scores on its own leaderboard, counted in your overall rank: ten points a technology, and a quarter point for every research point it cost.
• An accepted card pays its artist platinum: 100 for your first, 25 for each one after, up to 250 in any 30 days. See After you submit.
• Sending a deck to a city that already holds one offers a swap. A ship leaves each Port, and both decks land together.
• A deck master's Signature can name a minion type, the same way a card's abilities can.
• New-player protection has a help page of its own, and the dove beside a town name opens it. The raid box tells you how long yours has left and that raiding ends it for good.

Changed

• Each Curator's Office holds its own decks, and there is no empire-wide limit any more. A city holding more decks than its office allows moves the spares into free slots as soon as any open.
• The Art Studio opens a pack on the focus you printed with last, so printing for one artist or one card no longer means finding the choice again.
• Another player's Diplomat, and the blank mannequin standing in for an avatar they have not uploaded, are drawn in their empire's art style, not yours.
• A building page groups the luxury producers together when it lists the same building in your other cities.
• Protection countdowns tick by the second wherever they are shown.

Fixed

• A building's worker and researcher sliders open at the city you are looking at. They used to keep the last city's values until you refreshed.
• Your advisor stops telling you to build a Curator's Office in a city where one is already going up.
