Major Change List
- Swamp towns can become haunted! Haunted towns become "Ghost Towns" and have ghost/skeleton mates. You'll have to figure out which buildings and items can help you unhaunt them.

- Introducing world events! Volcanoes now appear in your current world on certain strikes of the obelisk clock. Can only have 1 volcano in a given world. Volcanoes will replace forest or sand nodes.
- Bone item. Attracts boss monsters when held, and also adds +1 to damage.
- Scimitar item. Weapon with bonus attack in Desert areas.
- All side view scenes have polished stone backing art in place of the existing white background.
- City view has a new roll-over UI that shows it's tribute type and cultural traits that Mate's will have. (hover over city title bar to view)
- Volcano world is made visible from the start of the game on mini-map to give players a clear long term incentive to explore the overworld.
- For a limited time, all of our store banner images changed to be Halloween themed.
- 3 Halloween wallpapers added to the Artwork section on our Community Hub!
