Build Notes and Updates
Be sure to check the build notes for this release as we made a number of them. You can read the change log here.
——————————————————————————————————
Campaign 1- The Shadow's Reach, Rebalanced
In addition to the all new Campaign, The Shadow's Fall, we've gone back and done a major re-balance of Campaign 1- The Shadow's Reach. You find that on Narrative mode, the game is more approachable, while on other modes, the difficulty ramps more evenly throughout. This isn't the end of our rebalancing efforts, as we have more coming in our future updates, but this is a major change to the first campaign that you should can play and enjoy as we build our way toward eventual Final Release.

Dúnedain Hunter Changed Prior to Release
We'd like to thank one of our players, Kjeld, who recommended a change to Dúnedain Hunter to include Surge when it is played. We liked the idea so much that we went ahead and made the change for release. Of course this makes the card slightly more powerful, so we raised his resource cost to 1 to compensate.
Coming News Updates
In the coming weeks, our news updates will focus on detailing the upcoming first-time user experience adjustments which includes the tutorial, user interface, experience and balance adjustments.
Next week we will go into more detail specifically on the upcoming new Tutorial revamp that we’ve been working on. The amount of work is pretty extensive, including a complete overhaul of the current tutorial and expanding it into a full tutorial campaign detailing both basic and more advanced aspects of play. We’re excited to tell you more about it.
That's it for now, we'll be back with more next week and until then may the winds blow ever in your favor.
