This week's beta update has a ton of crazy stuff to check out. Now your Ensembles remember their fallen, you can take prisoners from battles, and so much more. I'm really happy with the way things are shaping up! I mean just take a look at that art!
Let me know what you think of the changes! Would you be interested in having the beta build available as a demo on the Store page, before the game goes into Early Access, or are you happy keeping it to the folks in the discord?
