Alpha 13 "Dinosaurs"

This is a big update for us. We've added the much awaited dinosaurs and riding pack animals (including the just added dinosaurs). Also, we've taken a huge step towards the final UI layout of the game.

As usual, let us know what you think in our forums. The next update is scheduled for July 22nd.

  • Mounting
    • All pack-animals (including dinosaurs) can be mounted by the explorer now.
    • Mounting animals reduces their carrying capacity, but reduces base movement costs and unlocks special combat dice.
    • Have fun finding all the new dinosaur unit types that we added.

  • New Locations

    • Bone village, home to the infamous lizard people
    • Raptor nests, great place to find living dinosaur eggs

    • We've reworked the overall layout to feature a new party side bar with character portraits for all units. The party side bar is also visible during events, allowing to inspect the party quickly.

    • The standing bar has been replaced by a more visual icon on the right side.
    • The fame counter has been removed. Hover over the day counter to see your current fame count.
    • All chat lines are now shown in chat bubbles.
    • Less statuses will be shown next to the character. Hover over characters to see the full list.
    • The character portraits shown on top of the event image have been optimized in size.

  • Character selection screen

    • Its now possible to hover over the items and support characters of each explorer to get more information.
    • Explorers that have finished the game are shown with a golden frame.
