Hey guys! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
I'll be in Arkansas for the next week or so and wont be bringing a computer with so I won't be updating for the next week.
Grim (My Artist Friend) and I have been working hard to bring you guys something substantial this week for a DR4X update.
We ended up overhauling the tiles and UI based on player and nonplayer feedback.
There are also a few balance changes, other extra bits here and there and so on.

Bug Fixes
-When i changed the material shader forever ago, I apparently forgot to update the particles to show up over them so for the longest time particle effects havent worked great. I have now fixed them all.
-Fixed bug where units would show up over tiles even if they were techniclaly behind the tile.
-Fixed issue with The Hunt scenario where tiles werent up to date in it and only it for some reason
-Fixed bug where end turn tooltip would hang on screen while turn was progressing
Balancing
-Im pretty sure I did make some balance changes, but i didnt write them down so i guess its a mystery lol
Suggestion for testers
-Try out the game now!
YouTube Spotlight!
-Nothing this time
ADDITIONAL NEWS!
I'll try to get the map modes in for next changelog in two weeks. That and some rogue rebalances. I really really want to update the bandit faction.
I also have some ideas to make the tile placement of buildings matter more.
