[p]You can now renew henchmen contracts for half price if you talk to them, giving you more incentive to keep your men alive.

Also fixed a few minor bugs thanks to Mean & Evil again.[/p][p]Finally, Touchscreen Mode now includes large buttons for dialogue choice selection. This wasn't a problem on Steam Deck because of the joystick, but I'm gonna try compiling for Android again tonight.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Touchscreen mode now has large buttons for dialogue choices.[/p][p]-You can now renew henchmen contracts by talking to them for a 50% discount.[/p][p]-Added mage dialogue to chapters 3-5 if summoned as henchmen (files were missing).[/p][p]-Reinforced Chests are now of metal material, damaging weapons that attack them.[/p][p]-Mobile speed now displayed below character pic in HUD (if not normal).[/p][p]-Fixed bug where Ralo did not have combat abilities for training.[/p][p]-Fixed marching sound effect when using henchmen contracts.[/p][p]-Sleeping in beds now heals, etc. before the time passes (not after).[/p][p]-Corrected stump stash wealth text.[/p]

For example, trying to bluff an herbalist will require you to unscramble the name of an herb or plant, and trying to woo a noble will test your vocab on furniture or clothing.[/p][p]Also carrying a gold amulet as bling will now give you +5 seconds to the word scramble persuasion time limit, and carrying rat pheromones will repel ratfolk from attacking the character.[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Persuasion minigame can now be two words.[/p][p]-Persuasion minigame scripts now have new topics for proper nouns, including Towns, Lands, and Religion.[/p][p]-Persuasion minigame scripts are now sorted by topic, and specific characters are tied to certain topics.[/p][p]-Fixed bug where crafting abilities got blocked by light effects of campfires, etc. (thanks to Mean & Evil).[/p][p]-Fixed bug with skill checks for repairing weapons with Smithing ability (thanks to Mean & Evil).[/p][p]-Gold Amulets now grant +5 seconds to persuasion minigame (updated encyclopedia).[/p][p]-Carrying rat pheromones will now pacify ratfolk temporarily.[/p][p]-Fixed "Babadoo Mire" spelling in Atlas and maps.[/p][p][/p]
