Dear Players,\n\nWe are excited to bring you an update we have worked on for quite some time.\n\nWe have focused on improving the experience for new players by adding an introductory prologue mission. The prologue is available for the Hawk Eye Regiment and plays automatically for new saves.\n\nHere is a sneak peek:\n\n\n\nIf you already have save and wish to experience the prologue, you can talk to the old wise man on your home island to replay the prologue, see the second dialogue option below. Be sure to try it out for yourself! \n\n\n\nAdditionally, we have enhanced our map generator to give the three biomes a more distinctive identity and also to make the rendering more efficient.\n\nAncient Forest:\n The vegetation in our forest is a bit darker and more dense than before, giving the biome a more mysterious and eerie atmosphere.\n\nMystic Mountains:\n By having fewer grass fields and reduced vegetation the Mystic Mountains feel like a rougher, more arid biome.\n\nVerdant Plains:\n We\'ve increased the grass density and foliage to make the Verdant Plains seem richer and greener.\n\nHere is how this looks like:\n\n\n\nFinally, a long awaited quality of life improvement: You can now embark expedition party members on your home island by issuing a move command to the ocean and disembark them by issuing a move command back to the island.\n\nFind the full list of patch notes below.\n\n
