I've been hard at work redesigning the map and getting the final nodes ready for testing. You can view the new map and nodes in the latest build of the game. They should fit better with the theme of the game vs the map before. I am currently in the process of remaking all the backgrounds for the game to fit the style and theme better as well as look into fixing up some of the other aspects that don't match.
New Nodes:
Mystic - Allows you to visit nodes you previously visited for the current year. Only usable when you have 1 energy remaining and opens in year 6.
Gamblers Den - This one is a bit experimental, but you can gamble any resource in the game. Gold, rations, glory, dishonor and even your lives.
New Map:
The map has been completely remade and redone to give it a real Viking theme and feel.
Future Plans:
Currently I am working on remaking and redesigning the backgrounds. I have made a ton of new passives and abilities that are ready but won't be in until the early access of the game is ready later this year. The demo will get any visual changes going forward as soon as they are ready but I am only 1 person so they will take some time.
Next patch:
I am currently in the middle of changing power in the game. Right now, you can merge and infuse as many Vikings and runes as you want. This will be changing in the future. You will only be able to merge 3 times and you will only be able to fuse 4 runes, then you won't be able to anymore.
Rune Changes:
Since we are changing how runes work, they are getting updated to be equipment. So equipment will give stat boosts and you will only be able to equip 4 items(type doesn't matter, you can equip 4 helmets if you want). So all runes that give stats will change to equipment and runes will only be used to grant your Viking abilities.
Thanks for all the feedback,
I read anything that is sent in and while I cannot respond to you. I do value and listen to what you are saying. So thanks for sending it in.
