What's New in Version 2.8.1

This update has several improvements and bug fixes, including:
  • Added new ways to sort Spirits on the New Game screen. Sort by most played to find your favorites quickly; by least played to try a less familiar Spirit; or customize the ordering exactly to your liking by drag and drop.
  • Six and seven board layouts now fit on all screens during New Game setup.
  • Using Boon of Reimagining on Fractured Days Splits the Sky no longer leads to UI glitches.
  • Fixed an issue where Starlight Seeks Its Form could undo moving presence after dealing damage with its growth option in a land, and the damage is not properly undone.
  • Fixed an issue when playing with Starlight Seeks its Form, the Presence Panel of Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island could have a distinct visual glitch.
  • The game no longer gets stuck if Gather the Scattered Light of Stars is used and there are no Unique powers that can be forgotten when Time Passes.
  • Visions of a Shifting Future can no longer move the Stage III Invader Card specially placed by Brandenburg-Prussia to the bottom of the Invader Deck.
  • Grant Hatred a Ravenous Form now gains the damage bonus from Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot's Territorial Aggression special rule properly.
  • If Spreading Wilds is used on a land with no Explorers under the effect of Observe the Ever-Changing World, and only adds a Wilds token, it now triggers Preparing an Element Marker as it should.
  • Fixed an issue where Pillar of Living Flame could behave incorrectly when used multiple times in the same game.
  • When Dream of the Untouched Land adds a new board, Powers can now immediately target a land on the new board using a source land from an existing board.
  • Dream of the Untouched Land no longer gets stuck adding a new board to an Archipelago island if you have a Power Card from Aid From Lesser Spirits.
  • Fixed an issue when rearranging 5 or 6 boards, a layout issue could occur where boards are incorrectly overlapping.
  • Navigating through Spirits very quickly in the card library will no longer result in the background image failing to load.
  • Swallowed by the Wilderness will now deal enough damage in all situations.
  • Fixed an issue where Talons of Lightning could get stuck in multiplayer when used as a set-aside power in Second Wave.
  • Dahan Insurrection no longer fails to end the game properly if you trigger both Coordinated Insurrection and the additional loss condition in the same Action.
  • Swallowed by the Wilderness no longer adds extra damage when using a Spirit's presence affected by Settle into Hunting Grounds.
  • Fixed issue in which Sweden Level 5 could still add a Town even if the Ravaged land is Isolated.
  • Fixed an achievement issue where reaching elemental thresholds that Repeat a Power were not counted for achievements if they were reached using Element Markers (by Shifting Memory of Ages).
  • Dragging to rearrange a Spirit summary panel when it (or the one dropped on) has a Reclaim 1 no longer causes the game to get stuck.
  • Ward the Shores now properly considers lands under the effect of Absolute Stasis for its victory condition check.
  • If Cast Down Into the Briny Deep disconnects the island, playing a Second Wave game now requires you to revert the island to avoid an unplayable situation.
  • Fixed an incorrect interaction between Starlight Seeks Its Form growth undo and Bargains of Power and Protection.
  • Fixed a situation where stacked invader cards were resolved in the incorrect order.
  • While Ocean in Play is in effect, and Weave Together the Fabric of Place expires, separating a combined ocean and land, Presence can now move properly to either land.
  • Fixed a problem where Seek Safety (Level 2) would not allow you to gather a Town into a land with City in some cases.
  • The Struggles of Growth (Leave Behind option) no longer allows you to move the same Presence twice.
  • Improved how Invaders Surge Inland works with Isolate so you do not have to enable the adjacency prompt.
