addedIron Age 1New skill: Blacksmithing.

addedDaily QuestsThe system for earning spirit fragments will change. There will be daily quests that award you SFs when you complete them. Your quest progress will be visible in new GUI components.

changedBlessingsThere will be a system of Blessings that can be invoked for a tribe. A blessing does two things: 1) it prolongs the tribe's life; 2) it bestows a bonus on the players in the tribe, for a limited time. (examples of bonuses: increased max stamina, increased experience gain, increased skill levels, ...)

addedPlay Cost ReductionReduced cost for resurrecting or joining a live public tribe. Actually, we will unify the two cases, so you can play for 4SF even if the tribe is dormant (died out) before you start. Remember that you need to activate a blessing quickly if the tribe has no lite time left though!

addedNew Language : CzechNew fan translation available in this update: Czech. Thanks to player Klauny for doing the translation work!
