Nurgle Campaign!
Spread plague and destruction throughout the Old World as a Chosen of Nurgle.
Infect ships with Nurgle's Rot and board them till it overcomes the ship, and watch it take the plague back to port.
(Unlocked by completing the tutorial, playing the Khorne tutorial first is recommended)

Chaos campaign changes
For both Nurgle and Khorne campaigns, the requirements for petitions are now based on the number of ports you have destroyed - making it much easier to see your progression.
You can also change which ship in your fleet you choose to captain - any same-faction ship can be commanded.

Chaos challengers
Recruit new allies for your chaos fleet - find the champions of the other chaos powers and defeat them to gain a powerful ship and the ability to petition for more.

Melee updates
We've smoothed out melee a little - no more tank controls for mouse and keyboard (you'll strafe instead). A subtle lock on (which you can disable in the options) helps keep combat flowing and a new stamina system adds a little bit more depth.

Full list of changes:

- Added nurgle campaign
- (Chaos only, for now) Crew can now be transferred between non-hired allies of the same faction and you can switch to captaining any of your non-hired ally ships.
- Added infection mechanic, which turns an enemy ship into a plague ship and transports plague to its nearest friendly port.
- Plagued ports can be attacked and have much weakened defenders (watch out though: non-nurgle attackers in a plagued port will suffer too!)
- Added Sickening trait for Champion of Nurgle
- Chaos Shrine rewards now unlocked by port destruction instead of total favour gained
- Chaos allied ship types from other factions are now unlocked by completing quests
- Added Challenge quests to Chaos campaign for all chaos ship types
- Melee no longer uses tank controls for mouse/keyboard, instead strafing
- Melee using controller - camera will follow character.
- Increased wind up time for heavy attacks
- Added a light moving attack for 1h (forward + light attack)
- Optimised ice weapon
- Ice and Fire weapons now more powerful but don't always trigger.
- Celestial Hammer will occasionally call lightning bolts on enemies if used in rain/storm
- Skilled (and lazy) oarsmen/women now properly affect rowing efficiency
- Fixed broken scroll handles on custom battle screen which could prevent buttons working
- Custom battle factions are no longer locked if assigned to a removed team
- Fixed some juddering issues with the camera
- Blocking will lock onto nearby characters and allow you to strafe around them (can be disabled in options)
- Attacking now locks on for a brief time until the attack chain completes (can be disabled in options)
- Allied ships deal additional damage and take reduced damage
- Ship race quests will only choose dockable ports
- Fixed an issue with orc ports
- Fixed a number of quests which broke if the cutscene was interrupted
