Weather can now change at any moment, not just when entering a new region.
Effects
Effects now scale with the launcher’s level, making them much more impactful in the mid-game. For example, applying “Poisoned” with a lvl 2 caravaneer will deal more damage per turn than with a lvl 1 caravaneer.Quests
Five new quests are available in Musawenkosi, Totong, and Kanic’s settlements of Unum and Fikri.Monsters & Monster groups
We aimed to create new monster groups and diversify some existing ones.Predators
Predator groups can now contain up to three different hyenas. They have various synergies with each other, making them unpredictable. |  |
|---|---|
| Hyenish Nurse | Hyenish Bully |
Gigants
Gigant groups now include a third type, focusing on shield support. This addition reinforces the group’s archetype while varying the threats you’ll face.
Honey Gigant
New group: Limuloids
Hidden in the depths of Uwando, Limuloids are a new threat found in Underground and Palatine Ruins. |  |
|---|---|
| Limuloid Harpooner | Limuloid Fisher |
New group: Fire Beasts
Though volcanic areas are rare, they are worth visiting to discover these charming creatures. |  |
|---|---|
| Sparkling cuttlefish | Blazing slug |
New group: Beasts
Beasts are found in the fertile lands of Uwando. They’re not very aggressive but can provide a good amount of meat if hunted. |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Plowing rhinopterous | Crunchyrock | Plaincleaver |
A new caravaneer: the Swordman
The Swordman can now join your caravan! A born fighter who deals massive physical damage, he’s less tanky than the Protector but can still serve as a decent frontline for your team.
He’s called Swordman for a reason
With his upgrades, you can make it evolve either as a damage-dealer or more into a damage/tank mix.
Exploration Abilities upgrade
Your caravaneers’ abilities can now be upgraded, just like their attacks! Over 20 of these upgrades are included in this update.Traits
- 12 new traits are now available for your Caravaneers.
- Traits can now be leveled up if a caravaneer obtains them multiple times during a run, amplifying their effects.
Bugfixes
- Fixed many broken localization keys.
- Improvements of performances and loading times.
- Various minors fixes.
Known issues
- Effect damage calculations may occasionally be incorrect.
- In specific situations that we cannot yet reproduce, some attacks may heal enemies instead of dealing damage.
- Hope still does not impact Shield.
What’s next
As the whole team returns from vacation, we’ll address the known issues ASAP in patch 1.1.1, which should be live in early September. This patch might also include some content that wasn’t ready for the 1.1 release.We’re still on track to release version 1.2 by the end of September. We’ll keep you updated!
