This update adds banners alongside many fixes and minor additions. You may now select from thirteen banners (and colors) in the Options menu. The default remains the "inverted cross," and the other twelve will unlock alongside related floors, so if you have all of the prophecies completed, you should have all of the banners available right away. I have more banners waiting in the wings, but they'll be added here and there in future content updates.
The inverted cross banner grants an additional slide per move, but the default has been reduced to three, so the end result is that the default banner allows you to play with four slides as before, but you'll have to sacrifice that additional slide if you want to try out some of the other banner benefits.
I've also added a placeholder klaxon effect when characters approach the Sanctum unopposed. This may change a bit in the near future (variable volume/intensity, on/off toggle, improved method for determining when it's necessary?), but people have been suggesting it for a long while. There are a bunch of other things like that in here, so I have to thank you all for the requests and reports; keep 'em coming =D!
