v 1.8.1 Mesolithic gameplay & balance update
After listening to your feedback, we focused on three fronts: better information in game, tighter gameplay and balance, and stronger performance and stability.
This is a work in progress, but we're very happy with how the game feels now, more informative, more progressive, and more rewarding. We hope you enjoy the changes as much as we do!
