The basic parts of adventurer campaign are done. It's not much different from the keeper campaign, except that you don't build a base, and some enemies are turned into allies and vice-versa. The retired keepers are still hostile, of course. The influence zone works identically, but you start the game on one of the existing locations (it can be both hostile or allied).
The big benefit of this mode, compared to the single map adventure, is that you can build up your character in various locations before you engage with your main enemies. The allied settlements like the castle and dwarf cave have shops where you can buy equipment. I'm also planning to add some generic dungeons specifically to the adventure mode to turn it into more of an rpg experience.
There still isn't nearly as much progression in the game as I'd like of course. Ideally, there would be various strategies to progress your adventurer, and the characters would be very differentiated by the end of the game. At this point, we could think about uploading retired adventurers to spawn them as enemies in keeper games.
Another thing that I want to add in later updates is getting companions by hiring and other ways.
I've finished the mechanism of uploading game statistics. I think they will be extremely useful. I'll get info about what game modes are being played and how long individual playthroughs are. This will give me good data on whether we can remove the single map mode from the game (I won't remove it if a lot of people keep playing it). All the data will be anonymous, of course, and there will be a description of what exactly is being sent, and you'll be able to turn it off.
I've also implemented message boards. As I've already mentioned, they can be built by keepers and anyone passing by can write anything on them. The messages are stored on the server and are automatically updated.
I'm planning to upload a build to the testing branch on Steam in the coming week. My current estimate for release date is early July.

When you control your minions the game changes into a classic roguelike, with turn-based and very tactical combat. You can also play as an adventurer and assault dungeons made by you or other players.
Dungeon management
You will dig deep into the mountain and build dozens of rooms, corridors and traps. Your minions will train and produce weapons and armor. Prisoners will be tortured. You will research new technologies like alchemy, beast mutation and sorcery.Roguelike mechanics
The world is simulated on a very detailed level. Creatures use equipment and consumable items. There are dozens of special items, spells, attributes and special attacks. You can cut off heads and limbs and blind or poison your enemies. If you're not careful with fire, you can burn an entire forest or even your own dungeon.Large, procedurally generated maps
In your neighborhood you'll find castles, villages, other dungeons and special locations. Slay heroes, dragons and witches for their loot. Every game you play will be different.Online map sharing
