[h3]FORTRESS UPDATE - SHAV’WA SHOWDOWN (0.11.0)[/h3]
June 26, 2025

[h2]What’s New?[/h2]

• New Area: The Fortress
  
• Subarea: The Pools Bathhouse
  
• New Boss: The Shav'Wa Emperor - Good luck.
  
• New Feature: Gun Insurance - Attach it to your weapon and if you die, the gun makes it back to the hub. You don’t. The Insurance will be consumed on death, and you will have to get new coverage (insurance brokers have a special place in hell, and they are still profiting).
  
• Some (10) Steam Achievements, more coming later, working on it!
• New Enchantments:
   • Scroll of Corpse Explosion
   • Scroll of Petrify
   • Scroll of Thunderbolt
   • Scroll of Least Resistance
  
• Recipe cookbooks added for:
   • Town, Sewers, Dungeon, Castle, Forest, Fortress
