Our second update is live! Combat encounters are the biggest addition but there are a host of smaller changes to polish the game and fix bugs. We’ve been taking inspiration from your feedback, in particular one suggestion that the game needed more opportunities to acquire and use weapons. Combat encounters provide both but if you don’t want to participate in such earthly shenanigans, you won’t have to and what’s more, the lama will approve! We’ve designed the encounters to echo Kipling's accounts of the trials and tribulations of his countrymen so if you do want to get caught up in this sort of thing, remember that while the towns and the heartland of British India are relatively orderly, the hinterlands are less so!
