General
Adjusted drop rates so gold items drop less often.
Enemy stagger scales more slowly with enemy level.
Prestige and Danger Levels
The previous scoring system has been removed, and the Prestige and Danger Level systems have been added:
After completing a scenario or campaign, you will unlock the ability to replay it at a higher Danger Level
Each Danger Level increases the difficulty in some way:
Scenarios will have unique conditions, as well as increase the number of enemies and enemy levels.
For campaigns, you will choose from a selection of negative conditions called Demerits as enemy levels increase.
Playing at a higher Danger Level also unlocks the Bounty Board, where you will be assigned a grid of bounties to complete. Earn Prestige by completing these bounties and filling out rows, columns, and diagonals.
Completing a Danger Level will unlock the next Danger Level, and the Prestige you earn is also multiplied based on your Danger Level. See how much danger you can handle, and how much prestige you can earn!
