Hi everyone!
We've just opened a beta branch for Landnama's v2.2 update! We'd love to get your feedback on the content patch over the weekend.
The update brings balancing changes, some visual improvements, quality of life features, two new clans to unlock, new daily trial modifiers and a new difficulty level!
The Mastery system has been changed to grant more points (from 3 to a total of 6 now). The design goal is to make the choice less restrictive, the power curve steeper and generally allow you to have more tools at your disposal to tackle challenging maps. You will be able to try more versatile builds depending on the needs.
Support production buildings (all except Shipbuilder) can now also be built on any biome type (except Glacier). With this change, we want to allow you to create more interesting and fun synergies by connecting production lines which the biome type hard requirement was preventing in most cases.
Let us know what you think about those changes and share your feedback to help fine-tune the update before the release!
Thank you for your support!
Mathias, Mario & Michael
Changelog:
Added
- The Wise clan: Starts with an extra mastery point and completes upgrades twice as fast
- The Curious clan: Starts with a curiosity close to home and gets 10 maximum heart for each discovered curiosity
- New Daily Trial: Start with 6 mastery points
- New Daily Trial: Everything is completed instantly
- A new difficulty level where you have to scale production to 70 while fighting a more aggressive winter
- Inactive buildings are now highlighted on the map
Changed
- You now get 2 and 3 mastery points on the second and third upgrade respectively (for a total of six points!)
- Revamped the home and mastery menus for more clarity and better usability
- Kiln, Weaver, Carpenter, Shipbuilder and Tanner can now build on any terrain except Glacier
- The Winter's Toll screen now only ever shows either the Continue button or the Vegvísir button (if you still have one and would otherwise lose the settlement)
- Events which set buildings on fire now say which building and center the camera on it
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where building Houses next to the Gothi would mess up its production
Warning:
- monthly saga / daily trial highscores are not sent
- switching to the beta branch will invalidate saga / daily / expedition, so they should move those somewhere else if they want to keep 'em (simply copy the whole folder or finish your in-progress games first)
How to test:
- Head over to your Steam library and right click on Landnama > Properties > Betas
