Scenario Milestone Update

Hello everyone! We've been working hard over the last few weeks on lots of new content! We've continued to listen to your feedback, and this update adds some much-requested features!



[h2]The Scenarios Milestone Update![/h2]

[h3]15 new scenarios![/h3] We've had a lot of fun writing many, many new scenarios! These offer lots of new features, but the main highlight is you can now hire characters outside of the tavern. Several of the new scenarios, such as Convict, will let you enlist new characters! The Hire screen has also had a major facelift, check it out!



[h3]3 new enemies![/h3] Introducing the Patterford Goldknot, the Ender Guardian and the Smuggling Gang (which has 2 individual new units). You can find these opponents in the later streets, and in one of the new scenarios. They should offer some additional challenge!



[h3]Stashed Equipment[/h3] We listened closely to your feedback on equipment, and made some major changes to improve the overall experience. Firstly, introducing: The Stash. You can now store weapons and armour for future use. Now you don't have to pass up on good gear if you're planning on hiring a new character. You only get 2 stash slots though, so think carefully about what you want to take with you! Stashed weapons will take up space in your deck, but they behave similarly to dead character cards in combat, being banished from your hand at the end of your turn.

Additionally, you can now also swap equipment between party members at any time, from the party screen. Put that crossbow on the wrong guy? No problem!



[h3]New Scenario Features[/h3] As mentioned above, you can now hire characters in scenarios, but the new features don't stop there. Scenarios can now have random outcomes for extra variety, let you trade stashed items, or even take on some work for extra coin. Other scenarios apply modifiers whose effects can last for the duration of your campaign. You can think of these like Passives for your whole Party!



[h3]Tools of the Trade[/h3] As a team, we really enjoyed the response to the "Voices in the Dark" scenario when we first added it; players loved getting a new weapon that mirrored the abilities of their enemy. We were always eager to add more of these, and we're happy to say there are a couple of new such additions in this update!



[h3]UI Improvements[/h3] We made some massive improvements to the UI for this update, including entirely reworking the Scenario and Equipment UI from scratch. Scenarios now offer tooltips where appropriate, indicate combats, rewards and character-specific consequences more effectively. The party screen has also had a facelift, and should display information much more clearly.



[h3]Release notes[/h3]
Since the last update, there have been over 30 changes and fixes. If you want to check out the full release notes, you can find them here: https://www.montebearo.co.uk/bor-release-notes

Oaths Milestone Update

Hello everyone! We've been listening closely to your feedback and working hard to bring you new content and features!



[h2]The Oaths Milestone Update![/h2]

[h3]Over 50 new cards![/h3] Instinct, Distraction, Heroic Strike, Hunter, Conviction, Deadly Harvest, Precision, Bless -- there's too many to name here! Check out the release notes below for a full list!



[h3]3 new enemy units![/h3] Introducing the Ender Bannerman, the Seagard Trappers and the Valenfax Stalkers. These new opponents offer some exciting new mechanics that should add a real challenge in the later streets!



[h3]Compendium[/h3] From the main menu, you can now view a Compendium of all the cards and passives you've seen in the game, and filter them by type, race and cost. This should help you think about potential builds and synergies between various mechanics. Gotta catch 'em all!



[h3]Party Configuration[/h3] Gone is the little dropdown for picking your pair of starter characters! Now, when you begin a new run, you are able to select any pairing of races to start with, or even start with just 1 character! Your first character will start with Medium Armour, wielding an Hatchet and Round Shield, and the second wearing Light Armour and wielding a Longsword.



[h3]Oaths[/h3] If you're seeking an even harder challenge, look no further! Once you beat the game for the first time (from this update onwards), you will unlock Oaths. These are modifiers you can set at the start of a new campaign, that last its entire duration, to increase difficulty in special ways and increase your final run's score. These range from increasing enemy damage, to suffering additional statuses, or losing gold from certain campaign encounters. You may select up to 3 Oaths, and many of them have 3 tiers that scale in difficulty (tiers are coming ahead of schedule on the roadmap, with more Oaths coming later instead).
