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
Changes:
Bugs:
- Added fail safe for a rare event where the story window would not go away.
- Jump over letting the character jump over to walls.
- Add frame rate limit to title screen.
- Swapping weapons in game now does not require energy (as it is in the inventory screen).
- Story mode now properly brings you back to the previous level instead than the level before it.
- Fixed some path highlighting issues when targeting. I suspect they are some more.
- Fixed a graphical glitch where a shapeshifted druid using ring of life would show the humanoid and shapeshift form at the same time till the game reloads.
- Corrected many typos .
- Summons should now correctly target insectoids.
- Auto target should not target barrel if an enemy is within range.

Balance:
- General:
- Reduce hp creep on enemies slightly.
- Fendor underground tunnels are now never generated as open dungeons.
- Pylons hp has been reduced significantly. Range has also been reduced slightly.
- Pylon of beaming fire effect has its damage done reduced significantly.
- First boss on the dawn of shadows campaign had its chance to trigger the jump back ability reduced.
- Worms division should is now limited to slashing weapons. Worm splits(childs) do not give XP. This prevents infinite amount of them on fire spread too.
- Warrior:
- Leap attack jumps over enemies yet still needs a target.
- Colossal strike was buffed to balance its energy usage.
- Whirlwind Attack can now also be used from where your character is standing.
- Whirlwind Attack range and damaged increased.
