Hail, heroes!
Patch 1.2.0 was just released! This major update adds a fifth Patron, Hades, Lord of the Dead, to the game.
Hades brings new units, prophecies, and epithets that can bring death, inflict curses, and exploit the riches of the underworld. Hades' synergy Lord of the Dead allows a percentage of defeated enemies to join your army as phantoms. A new hero loyal to Hades, King Minos, has also been added in this update.
For now, Minos is automatically unlocked, so you can try out this new content right away. We are also excited to participate in this month's upcoming Steam Next Fest - please try out the latest demo build and share your feedback!
Patch Notes:
Added Hades, Lord of the Dead, as a new playable Patron. Hades' synergy Lord of the Dead allows a percentage of defeated enemies to join your army as phantoms

Added new unit: Phantom. Phantoms are weak, inexpensive flying spectres.
Added new unit: Lampad. Lampades are underworld nymphs. Their flaming torches fire ranged attacks with an area-of-effect splash.
Added new unit: Psychopomp. Psychopomps guide souls to Hades. They automatically reduce the damage of nearby enemies.
Added new unit: Cerberus. Cerberi attack simultaneously with each head, damaging three hexagons at once.
Added new unit: Giant. Giants are slow-moving, durable, powerful units. They are shielded against ranged attacks.
Added new unit: Necromancer. Necromancers are powerful ranged spellcasters who reduce the defense of enemies they shoot.
Added new unit: Fury. As the strongest unit loyal to Hades, Furies can fly long distances and attack all adjacent enemies with their whips.
Added new Phase 2 climax: Aloadae. The Aloadae, Otos and Ephialtes, are enormous, resilient giants who once abducted Ares.
