Greetings ORX slayers!
The first update with reinforcements for Boreals Nomads is out! This patch adds a new runic circle, holidays and a new building type.
First up are the special fences! Add a toxicologist or a chemist annex to your fence, and your village might hold off the ORX on its own. Of course, these are not all-powerful, and without Boreals your settlements will fall — but it’s a nice supporting building for situations when Boreals just can’t tackle every ORX on the field.
Next we have the Neuro Circle. Just like with other Neuro cards for Rune Guardians and Dune Reavers, this one grows stronger the more of them you have activated. So don’t pay attention to relatively small bonuses — if you upgrade it at least once and enchant the card with double charges, your Boreals will get an insane boost. And it’s kinda hard to go back!
And to boost Boreals further and beyond, we’re introducing three new Holidays! With them you don’t have to worry about shopping lines or missing on a crucial craftsman. For example, Merchant Festival has an auto-buy effect upon placement, while Black Owl Coven empowers the giants with damage and lifesteal. With these tools ORX will have hard time fighting you!
