The Giants have returned, in a gigantic, free DLC!

TL:DR

The DLC is now available to download!

Long version:
Our first DLC is now live, but this time it does not come as an auto-update (unless you're a Mac/Linux user). As promised, it is free, but in order to download it, you need to visit our Steam store page, click on the Return of the Giants DLC - this opens the DLC store page - and click Play Game button. This will download the DLC to your game.

So, what's in it?

New features:

- Localization to German, Polish, Russian and French,
- Full English voiceover for all events,
- Story Events Editor,
- 70 new events,
- 4 new building types,
- 9 new music tracks,
- Additional characters, items and events artwork,
- New human classes and monsters,
- New Quality attribute, which can modify equipment parameters,
- Compare items popup on Equipment screen,
- Research - clicking on a researched resource will show a popup, informing if it was found on the map and add an icon on the top of the HUD, allowing you to view its location,
- Logbook - added eye icon, which locates places linked to the quest,
- HUD - added Pause Menu button in the top left corner,
- HUD - New Turn message when your turn begins,
- Difficulty levels above 5 (up to 10),
- Lair spawn rebalanced to provide more variety and better difficulty control,
- Some recipes can now utilize the least valuable resources such as clay,

Changes:

- Improved Auto-resolve,
- Research costs are varied, some techs cost more than 1RP,
- Vine and Spiderweb give bonus to Ranged weapons,
- Inventory - added two +10 buttons when moving stacks of items,
- Village Warriors can wield 2-handed swords in one hand,
- Card Minigame - clicking on a message dismisses it

Fixes:

- Jewellery items now correctly take up one slot, allowing characters to wear two pieces of jewellery simultaneously,
- Reshuffle should give a different outcome every time,
- Crafting screen - requirement checking should now correctly take into account catalyst requirement

Hotfixes on 15th April

1.16.1615.1
- Jewellery should no longer disappear when there are two similar items equipped in both slots and one of them is taken off,
- Research - it should no longer be possible to unlock recipes for free,
1.16.1615.2
- Joining a camp with an expedition should no longer teleport this expedition to the village.

Thanks to all who reported the bugs!

Hope you enjoy it!
