Promo Pack 1 Arrives in Spirit Island Version 1.1

Version 1.1 of Spirit Island has been released with support for the Promo Pack 1 DLC. Promo Pack 1 includes two Spirits: Heart of the Wildfire and Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island. Each Spirit has four unique Power Cards. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1409120/Spirit_Island__Promo_Pack_1/ Many Spirits can sense the immense Serpent deep below. It is mostly asleep, and its influence on the land above is limited, but the Invaders' Blight already begins to sting it towards greater wakefulness. The Wildfire is a spirit of natural destruction... and renewal after destruction. A long-standing friend of the Dahan, it glories in their fires and sparks. It spares their villages as best it can, and fights the Invaders in large part for them. If you backed the Indiegogo campaign at Deluxe Edition or higher, a Steam key for Promo Pack 1 awaits you in your BackerKit dashboard under Digital Downloads.

Cartography

If you enjoy the look of the Thematic Map, but prefer the gameplay of the Balanced Map, you're in luck! This update adds support for an alternate terrain style for the Balanced Map so it has the visual style of the Thematic Map. Give it a try in the Options screen!

Other Improvements

This update includes a few other improvements and fixes, including:

Improved the 3D map display when a land is crowded with pieces.
Improved various sound effects and music.
Full size boards on the New Game screen are now shown in the same orientation as the small board.
Connected gamepads or joysticks should no longer cause the map to scroll.
Fixed a problem where rotating boards in the New Game screen could cause strange behavior.
Fixed a visual glitch where damage to Invaders with extra health would appear to not clear in Time Passes.
Fixed a problem where Blight added by Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares would not destroy Presence.

What's Next: Branch & Claw, Mobile, & More!

We're happy to announce that we have officially started development on the Branch & Claw expansion. There's no release date to share just yet, but stay tuned to our Twitch channel for previews as development progresses. We are also planning to bring Spirit Island to iOS and Android tablets (and potentially phones) by the end of the year. Two more stretch goals earned from the crowdfunding campaign remain:

Adversarial Appearance - Adversary-specific visuals for Invader pieces
Spirit Styles - Alternate artwork for each Spirit

Plus, we still owe Deluxe Edition backers an exclusive digital playmat. If you've enjoyed the customization options we added to Aeon's End, you might be looking forward to that! We're also still considering several other major items for the future, including the Jagged Earth expansion and integrated online multiplayer.

In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative, settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your spirits work with the native islanders to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.

In Spirit Island, players choose between 1-4 spirits to control. The number of spirits determines the size of the island:

Spirit Island is planned to include the following:

8 different Spirits, each with 4 Powers unique to that Spirit
Over 50 distinct Major and Minor Powers which Spirits can grow into
A modular island, made up of 4 modular Boards, for a variety of layouts
15 Invader cards, driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
15 Fear cards, showing what happens as you terrify the Invader
3 multi-tier Adversaries (specific Invaders) for play variety and fine-tuned challenge: England, Brandenburg-Prussia, and Sweden
4 optional Scenarios for even more play variety
