IMPORTANT: How to try the beta branch?
Steps to try out the beta branch of the game:
- In your game library right click on "Rogue Empire -> Properties"
- In properties select the "Betas" tab
- On the drop down select the version: beta - Beta testing for next release
This branch has logs enabled to be more verbose so that I get more info from you guys when you sent them to me (this might make it a little more annoying if you get an error).

Note: Changes to the map where made and I am not 100% sure on backwards compatibility regarding the new locations and main quest progress.
