This is a hotfix patch.

Bugfixes:

• Event trigger positions in Level 1-2 and 1-3 fixed.
  
• Visual effects shown in unwanted situations have been removed.
  
• A wrong HUD info in some situations has been fixed.
  

we used the summer break to work on the upcoming island "The Eternal Ice" and further content. In the meantime we also did some improvements and bugfixing on the current version.
Many of the "Dark Woods" level have been reworked. Coasts are now included, giving the island world of Mantari more authenticity.

What can you expect in the upcoming content update (version 0.8.0)? A lot of cool stuff!

[h2]Generally:[/h2]

• we will introduce another strategic element. Elevations will now play a more important role. Units on higher positions will be granted more bonuses
  
• attack animations are coming! Last but not least, we will implement the highly anticipated attack animations
  
• a completely reworked army management screen
  
• and much more...
  

[h2]New island "The Eternal Ice":[/h2]
A new island with 9 levels set in a landscape completely covered with snow and ice. New enemies, new landscape, new events, new hero units and the already expected level 3 units from Aglovan and the AI. The level 3 units also come with their own special abilities and add further strategic depth to the game.

[h2]The Road Ahead:[/h2]
What can you expect after version 0.8.0? Even more cool stuff!

• in the background we are also working on the next hero "Warlord Gormur". He will soon land on Mantaria with his strong infantry and flight units in version 0.9.0.
  
• introducing POI's. Many new level related buildings that give different kind of bonuses
  
• revision of the damage calculation (we are working on a better and more balanced system)
  

Thanks a lot for your ongoing support. Please keep sharing your ideas and thoughts and rate us here on steam if you enjoy playing SoL!

Kind Regards
Atahualpa
