  • Added a rally system to make it easier to control characters. Use "1" to "5" keys!

  • Reworked the mouse interactions and controls. Now almost everything can be done with left click, and double clicks have been entirely removed from the game.

  • Cards now glow instead of becoming bigger to make selecting them easier.

  • Stacking over a card that is asigned now stacks to the building.

  • Buildings now asign regular stacks, making easier to remove the resources you want.

  • Added chests (1 Wood, 1 Mana, 1 Metal).

  • Stacks with recipes now get build automatically instead of needing a character asigned.

  • Increased the drop rate of bones and stones.

  • Added the posibility of consulting recipes without opening the menu constantly. Check the "To Map" button under recipes menu.

  • Improved the menus a little bit.

  • Improved loading methods. (Should avoid a lot of crashes).

  • Bards are now healers! They heal a character every 15 seconds.

  • Fixed some bugs...

I think that the game if far more enjoyable now. I hope that you continue to have fun with the game. This will probably be the last update until Early Access starts. The content for the game is almost entirely done for now, so I will focus on polishing further and removing bugs.

Thank you for reading!
