Game Updated to v1.8_20260209 (Full Release, Out of EA)

v1.8 (full release, 2026-02-09)

• fixed: bug where monster actions were not chosen properly, causing monsters to repeatedly use their strongest actions (especially those using a chance '%'), ignoring their actual percentages and leading to an imbalanced, unfair experience

• Adjustedfixedbug where minibosses were not giving increased xp / gold when they were defeated, regardless their increased hp / damage output. Now this is considered as well and can expect increased xp / gold based on monster's multipliers. More in RULEBOOK.pdf under '12.3. Loot' and '12.7. Experience'

• fixed: bug where combat actions could be taken under a triggered event dialogue when monster happened to be on same square as the event, initiating combat. Now, event dialogue takes precedence

• fixed: bug where the skill trainer screen continued showing the required skill / expertise even when training at higher expertise (apprentice+), when the requirement should only appear for the initial 'initiate' expertise

• fixed: bug where sometimes no minimap and no item in-hand was shown in the top-right area, when an event was showing

• fixed: bug where event sounds are sometimes heard even though the event is not triggered under some criteria

• fixed: bug where potions couldn't be used through keyboard shortcuts in combat, requiring a mouse click. They can now be used the same way as scrolls and wands (one-off cast) in combat by clicking the 'Z' (default button for casting spell) which will use the potion as a spell (if its targetable, it will ask for a target) and not requiring a mouse click. Out of battle, a potion can always get equipped in hand slots through inventory screen and mouse clicked in game window screen (thanks, @Corwin)

• added: ship travel from 'Frosthollow' (second part of game) to 'Crimson Bay' (first part of game) and back, effectively a way to connect the two chapters of the game. Although, travelling from 'Crimson Bay' to 'Frosthollow' wont be possible when on early content but only after entering second part of game (after sent to 'Frosthollow' first time). Finally, make sure you're visiting 'Crimson Bay' for first time to be able to see the ship travel to 'Frosthollow'
