1.1 update out now!
We have made several retakes on the weather system. Here are the weathers you can face in Uwando: [table] [tr] [th]Sunny

Explo: Vision reduced by 75%.[/td] [/tr] [/table] Weather can now change at any moment, not just when entering a new region.
Effects now scale with the launchers level, making them much more impactful in the mid-game. For example, applying Poisoned with a lvl 2 caravaneer will deal more damage per turn than with a lvl 1 caravaneer.
Five new quests are available in Musawenkosi, Totong, and Kanics settlements of Unum and Fikri.
We aimed to create new monster groups and diversify some existing ones.
Predator groups can now contain up to three different hyenas. They have various synergies with each other, making them unpredictable. [table noborder=1] [tr] [th]
[/th] [th]
[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Hyenish Nurse[/td] [td]Hyenish Bully[/td] [/tr] [/table]
Gigant groups now include a third type, focusing on shield support. This addition reinforces the groups archetype while varying the threats youll face.
Honey Gigant
Hidden in the depths of Uwando, Limuloids are a new threat found in Underground and Palatine Ruins. [table noborder=1] [tr] [th]

The Swordman can now join your caravan! A born fighter who deals massive physical damage, hes less tanky than the Protector but can still serve as a decent frontline for your team.
Hes called Swordman for a reason With his upgrades, you can make it evolve either as a damage-dealer or more into a damage/tank mix.
Your caravaneers abilities can now be upgraded, just like their attacks! Over 20 of these upgrades are included in this update.
As the whole team returns from vacation, well address the known issues ASAP in patch 1.1.1, which should be live in early September. This patch might also include some content that wasnt ready for the 1.1 release. Were still on track to release version 1.2 by the end of September. Well keep you updated!

"Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.
At the start of your run, recruit four characters to lead the caravan and achieve your goals in an ever-changing landscape. Each character has a different job and a unique skill that significantly impact gameplay. It's up to you to explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or to track down massive creatures as a hunter.
While managing your food supplies, explore the different regions and benefit from the various biomes by gathering unique resources. Visit cities, establish diplomatic relations with other tribes, and make both short-term and long-term decisions.
Fight and survive through acid rain, sandstorms, or heatwaves. The weather influences character movement and combat difficulty.
Expand the number of shelters by planting new tree cities, pass on your knowledge to a new caravan through memories stored in the crystal library, and put an end to the meteorological chaos. Don't lose sight of your main goal: reviving the Mother Tree, Umama.
