In this update I was mostly tweaking the combat flow and working on improving some small features that did not do too well. I fixed a lot of small annoyances that made combat somewhat tedious. Combat features and design are now properly in place and can now be really polished and balanced. The island rework should also fit the game better and is more extendable on a technical level. For the next update I will be working mostly on the castle area dungeon, which should turn out way better than the 'Bonepit'. Also Warman now has a native Linux client.
