Barring no last minute issues, the final minor patch for InDev 29, 29c is complete! Unlike most minor patches this patch will break your save data! If you'd like to finish out your saves before moving to 29c, you can opt into the "Previous Stable" branch in steam. :) This patch is a huge mishmash of new content, introducing 10 new spells, quadrupling the monster level caps, extended end game difficulty, and improving a bunch of the GUI as well as a bazillion other small things. Be sure to read over the change log! This isn't a normal sized minor patch, so there's a ton of new content to check out.

Many of the hot keys have changed! Be sure to check the settings page and re-familiarize yourself!

InDev 29c Change Log

• The absolute maximum influence you can have (A full bar) per village has been increased from 2,000 to 5,000.
• New Spell: Charm - Charms a monster into attacking their friends instead, but they may not always cooperate, and could even work against you or not be very helpful. Has a high chance of failure!
• New Spell: Cold Aura - Makes the area extremely cold, cooling, slowing down and sometimes freezing nearby creatures.
