This update is the first part in making the minions and fighting against them more interesting. Two new minion types have been added and the minion upgrade behaviour has been clarified a bit. Additionally there are some balance changes and some new combo upgrades for some of the abilities that did not get any in the last update. Lastly this update includes a crash handler that saves a minidump of the game state in the case of a crash. So if you encounter a crash, have a look in the Steam discussion board for a pinned post about how to send me a crash report so I can fix whatever was causing the crash as soon as possible.
