addedAdditionsWinter Crises There are 3 new crises that only come up during winter. They were designed to be relatively tame because winter is already rough enough, but to bring some new challenges. Regression Removes some of the most recent stems placed. This cannot remove all stem tiles of your tree. Frozen Aquifers Aquifers are randomly frozen. They unfreeze during summer. Cold Mist A new tile, Mist, is placed around the map. Mist tiles reduce heavily the efficiency of leaves.
