addedWe're super grateful for all the interest in Mineralis, and happy to announce the True Garik update! This time we mostly focused on improving the midgame balance and low equality routes. There's also a ton of new branching dialogue and secrets!

added💡 New features:A lot more branching dialogue now affects or is affected by equality - Low equality routes provide additional depth to Garik's story - All hidden routes have new content and more polish - Mouseholes have a deeper meaning to them - Hidden routes affect dialogue sooner

added💨 Changes:Jessie reacts to choices made in one of the neutral routes - Individual equality changes are smaller to balance out their added frequency - Minor grammar fixes to the newest route - You can snoop around more places now - Added more interesting remarks to most tents - More NPCs react to you trying to enter their tents - Reactions to tents sometimes change depending on equality - Reactions to stealing depend on equality - Changed wealth level of Barbaz Inn from gorgeous to ordinary - Some new easter eggs and secrets we can't reveal yet

added⚔ Combat updates:Focus bonus damage 33% -> 15%, as it caused mass spells to unintentionally ignore magic armor - Endure scales less with Magic Attack, to balance Garik gaining CP from it since 1.18 - Several bosses have 5-10% higher hit rate, to prevent the goblin stick from breaking the game entirely - Several spellcaster troops now have additional threats - Many midgame troops gained improved grades and skills - Changed hole digger goblin from rogue to an unique goblin mage

changed⚔ Combat updates:Burn and bleed were made more common in 1.18, so we adjusted them appropriately:

changed⚔ Combat updates:Burn attack reduction 8% -> 7%, damage per round 16% -> 14% - Burn damage per round for bosses 10% -> 8%, super bosses 6% -> 5% - Bleed defense reduction 20% -> 15%, damage per round 20% -> 18%
