changedAs the game has been quite significantly changed, you will need to start a fresh save!

changedPerformance and bug fixesThe most important aspect is the massively improved performance and crash fixes based on your kind feedback! Optimization without the use of artificial upscaling is very important, so as always let me know how the game performs for you.

addedNew Area and TutorialA new tutorial area that introduces you to the context and gameplay of the game in hopefully a much smoother and intuitive way! The new area is called Bucaz Hill, with plenty of things to explore after the tutorial. The area will expand with future updates.

changedRe-worked Ult Plain and Moshia DragobeteThe two maps should seem relatively familiar but with some fresh changes! The homestead is now bigger and will continue to expand.
