The major changes for this patch involve the ‘forces’ (aka meeples) visible on the map. These forces now indicate what they are doing or what their intentions are. This informs how the actual encounter is going to be generated. At the same time your interaction with the encounter can affect their behavior for better or worse.
A few players have been very active reporting bugs on our Discord this week, which is very, very much appreciated. As a result we’ve managed to eliminate a fair number of them as well!
