Here we go, we're proud to release this "new content" update with lots of stuff in, mainly: - 5 new bosses (with unique visuals, boss mechanics, unique map and special reward for each boss) - 2 new starting factions: Swampers and Beasts - several new battle objectives (village fights, missions, etc..) - several new unique legendary items and mutators We have introduced end zone bosses for each zone: with that you have to fight a unique grand boss before you can proceed to next zone. Also, there are optional grand bosses roaming in the world of Urtuk and you might find clues how to reveal them! Each boss comes with its very specific mechanics, and it is up to the player to figure out, what works best. After defeating him, you will obtain a unique item which will add new game mechanics to your run! For example, with the "Death Stone", you can kill any of your party member and extract almost any of its traits (even if it's non extractable after a normal battle). We also listened to you players and your feedback and suggestions and made a big list of changes and improvements (HUGE thank you!). Let's summarize all of it in the changelog: - in fort sieges, the enemy archers will be placed into balistrarias; - balistraria: now will also prevent all displacements (bash, flip, ram, uplift,..); - added new feature for player characters: unlocking 'elite' visuals.
