IMPORTANT: How to try the beta branch?

• In your game library right click on "Rogue Empire -> Properties"
• In properties select the "Betas" tab
• On the drop down select the version: beta - Beta testing for next release

New Features

• Added +6 new enemies
• Added a new ability to the hunters deck: [spoiler] Dirty Shot (UI art not done yet) [/spoiler]
• Archer enemy type AI was improved: Enemy will try to figure out where is the best place to shoot at you as well as try to get at least 1 shoot at you before you can engage in melee. Range characters should not notice much difference, except the enemy will try to get in firing range instead of running away if out ranged.
• Added a new type of stacked challenge to the challenge dungeon: [spoiler]Speedier enemies[/spoiler].
• Added Vine Walls that impede your movement till destroyed. If in corridors this can cut off an escape or give you some time to engage an enemy coming at you.
• Dungeons now also have some iron bar walls characters can see through. These walls let through ranged and spells attacks!
• Resting in the open will have a high chance (fate dependent) to produce a bad event like an ambush. Going into a room with the door closed will reduce this chance greatly. Furthermore locking a room where you plan to rest will almost guarantee a good nights sleep. This is done to encourage the use of locking and not feel rest like the universal way to heal.

Balance Changes

• Reduced disarm duration from 4 to 3 turns.
• Enemies do not aggro at each other over friendly AOE fire anymore.
• Reduced fast champion archetype speed and damage as these where able to one shot unprepared travelers to easily.
• Range attacks now can fire through other entities towards the target. How ever doing so comes with a penalty to the to hit rating modifier in the case of ranged weapons.
• Made challenge dungeon slightly bigger and with more enemies to compensate for the previous patch level slowing at start.
• By popular demand, you will now see a status effect icon when somewhere on the current the magician merchant shows up!

Bug Fixes

• Just being out of sight is not enough to start resting.
• Fixed graphical pathing issue with some projectiles.
• Fixed bug where sometime enrage would not trigger for enemies.
• Fixed achievement issue that prevented them to show on steam.
• Fixed sound issue with frost traps.
• Spawning to a new dungeon level should now properly avoid a place where the character would be surrounded.
• Improved memory management. This should help out with some random crashes.

Other

• Most off view abilities should be executed instantly now.
• Resting is disallowed on world map now.
• Frame rate default is now 30 fps.
