Hello and welcome to Ortharion: The Last Battle Early Access Update 0.1.

Since it's currently only early access, the game is far from perfect... on top of that I was seriously ill this weekend, so it's impossible to do the last few minor debugs that I had left, but a corrective patch note will come quickly during the week.

I look forward to your feedback!

• Added 6 “Cult of Light” enemies

• The door to the dungeon in the town of Granock recovers 2% life per second instead of 6%.
  
• The balancing of summons has been revised, they inflict more damage without needing to level up (simply by following the player's level they can inflict 10k+ at level 100, compared to 500 before). They also have a “normal” number of lives so can be killed in less than 20 hits by any normal monster of the same level, prioritizing their survival and summoning new ones will be more important. Leveling up allows you to move up in difficulty levels without too much difficulty, other balancing is still likely to happen, to add talents and equipment to really have specialties around summons, with less base damage, but more once specialized compared to the current version. The AI still needs to be improved.
