This new update allows those of you with access to the Reaper expansion to play it! Customers who purchased the Gold or Platinum pre-order packs from us will have the Reaper pack available. Note - Please be aware that as with the base game, there are bugs in the Reaper pack and we are fixing them right now, but please let us know about anything you find.
Online games with the Reaper pack - the Reaper expansion pack will be available to use in online games if any player in the lobby owns the pack. A game's host must switch it on for it to be used. When not playing Classic Rules mode, only the owner of the pack can choose to play as the Reaper characters.
Other new features -
The welcome return of the text chat and Auto-Join features for online games.
Browsing cards when it isn't your turn is also back.
Game Log - If you press the small Down/Up arrow near the Adventure deck, this will open a log of everything happening in the game. You can use the list of filters on the right to switch on or off messages about specific actions in the game. They all default to off, so switch on the ones you want to see.
Advanced options - Within the Options screen there is now an Advanced Options button. In here you can set the speed of the AI, from 1 (slow) to 10 (fast).
Pause Button - If you're playing the AI and a card is drawn which you want to read, you can pause the action by holding down the PAUSE key on your keyboard. Let go of the key to continue. This works for most actions in the game, not just when cards are drawn.
Statistic Colours - Strength, Craft, Lives and Fate numbers now change colour based on whether or not they've increased above the start value (Green), decreased below the start value (Red, Fate and Lives only) or white when they are the same as the start value. This makes it easier to see at a glance who has gained or lost stats so you can choose targets for certain spells and objects.
Lots of bug fixes.
The game now handles players leaving an online game better. There is a 10 second wait if the host leaves whilst a new host is determined.
Moving from the Tavern to the Temple using the ferry now works correctly.
Most importantly, the game now works again on Windows XP!
