Graphics

Steam post image New village art by Chadwick

• Matchlock guns now use hand cannon image

• Grass is a little less bright on the world map Gameplay

• New events on the world map. Some are monuments to battles, other remember the fallen from other games. Others are a surprise that take a while to unlock

• Battlefield remains sites have a very small chance of spawning undead warbands

• New small chance for notorious enemies and alpha beasts start appearing in company level 3+

• Quest compass added to minimap. If will highlight target destinations for quests, either enemies or settlements

• Removed Giant Rats as an enemy type. Really not interesting fights

Usability/UI

• Damage prediction hovering over a target will show the damage impact of the attack and if it will kill them

• Hovering over an enemy will now have a split screen comparison at the bottom of the screen

Steam post image Hovering over will show damage impact to target and split screen comparison of units

• Tweaks to Company page and when hiring to show maximum units you can hire. Hovering over explains logic for maximum units

Fixes

• Fixed workaround to hire more than maximum number of units on some screens.

• Aimed shot, venom bite and psionic blast now show the to hit indicator when hovering over a unit
