It has been several weeks since we released a regular size update. It's a high time for one.
In this one we introduce a new way to unlock new provinces, which doesn't require playing through the main storyline. Instead you can explore caves in sandbox areas to find Map Fragments that can be crafted into Maps. You can use Maps to unlock new provinces.
We have also rebalanced most racial abilities to match changes made to the rest of the game in the massive update released in December. Our goal with racials is to make experience of playing each race as unique as possible. If you feel that your favorite race isn't up to snuff, then let us know, so we can buff it - or nerf it in case of Gnomes.
There are also great news for all players who love soundtrack in our game. We felt that it could use more of the amazing music composed by Davi Vasc and we extended the contract with him to include around 15 more tracks, so that playing Realms of Magic will feel even more magical!
