THIS UPDATE IS SAVE-COMPATIBLE

MAIN CHANGES

- Verren can now give you a ride to some additional destinations: the Ralph & Sons Inn, the Rotten Willow Tavern and the Oaken Barrel Brewery. Youll need to discover these places first though. - Added an option to place markers on the global map. - Its now possible to use a waterskin to pour water over yourself or surrounding tiles. This feature can be used to extinguish flames and reduce the duration of Burning.

BALANCE

- Traveling with Verren now skips time in the same manner as does sleeping in a tavern: it will increase Hunger and Thirst, improve Bodypart Condition, although it wont grant Vigor or improve Morale and Sanity. The amount of skipped time depends on the travelled distance. - The composition of ambushes and random brigand groups is now more diverse. - Block Power now scales with Strength rather than the characters level. Starting Block Power was reduced. - Tweaked Pyromancy spells damage in accordance with the updated armor system. - Rebalanced secret rooms: their loot now scales with a dungeons level. Overall theyll provide you with much more money and valuables. High tier unique items no longer spawn in low level dungeons secret rooms. - Rebalanced Hunger and Thirst: reduced Hunger and Thirst gain from traversing tiles, skipping a turn, and attacking. Increased Hunger and Thirst gain from the Rest mode and casting spells. Reduced Thirst gain from shouting. - Reduced items Durability loss from Wetness by 25%. - All characters start the game with Peasant Shoes instead of Travelling Shoes. - The Hazzun Celestial Sphere no longer grants the effects of Elusiveness and Vigor. - Reduced the chance to ruin a pelt with Slashing Damage (slightly), Piercing Damage (significantly), and Crushing Damage (significantly). - Reduced the influence of the wilderness factor on enemy and animals spawn rates: very low wilderness will no longer result in completely empty tiles. - The duration of Burning can now be reduced by skipping a turn (the same mechanic as with freeing yourself from Ensnarement). - The speed of reducing the duration of Ensnarement by skipping a turn is now also affected by Agility.
