This update is a big one! Loads of new features have been added, here's the list...
XP - You will now earn experience points after each completed game, based on your performance. If you quit a game before the end you will NOT earn any XP.
Player Profile - There is now a Profile button which takes you to a screen where you can set your preferred character and monitor your progress.
Levels - You can now level-up! Earn enough experience points from playing games and you will rise through the adventurer ranks!
Leaderboards - Your XP is uploaded to a leaderboard, so you can compare your XP with everyone! A 'friends-only' leaderboard is available too. NOTE: the XP leaderboard MAY be reset when the game is released for technical reasons.
Runestones - The biggest new addition is the Runestone system. Runestones are cards you can collect as you level-up and are attached to your characters. Runestones can be equipped for online games too, when that feature is added, so level-up as much as you can before then! See the Runestone guide in the Guides section for more information, or just play the game and discover them for yourself!
Classic Rules - A new button on the game setup screen allows you to create a game based on the standard Talisman rules as per the board game. This means -
All characters are randomly drawn.
When a character is killed, they return as a random character.
Characters do not use Runestones.
The Reaper has retreated to his Inner Region space.
AI Bug fixes -
Picking up objects improved. The AI will no longer pick everything up and then work out what to keep.
AI players will now show more urgency to get to the Crown of Command if another player is there or nearly there.
Spell-casting timer increased.
Destruction can now be cast after you've moved but before you encounter the space you're on, so you can use it to destroy cards on your space.
New sound effects for Random, Immobility, Counterspell, Hex and Command spells.
3 whole seconds shaved off the loading time! More time to play!
Next update will include -
ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!
