This update will not break your saves :)

Hi All,

Looks like we'll need a bit more time to do the stuff we promised, so instead of rushing an untested build, we've decided to move the patch to next Thursday.
Apologies to all who were patiently waiting the whole day!

So - the latest build is not public yet and there will still be changes done to it during the week. For those willing to try it out - we've uploaded it to alpha branch. It contains cloud saves, achievements (though not properly tested yet, so some may not complete correctly or possibly cause a crash), changes to group strength scaling (which should fix Lightbringers being too strong early on), morale gain info on character stats and a handful of smaller fixes.

The alpha branch does not require a password and saves should be still fully compatible between this and the last version.

Hi All,

For those still unconvinced, we've added a demo version.
It contains all mechanics but is limited to 50 turns of gameplay - hopefully enough to help you decide whether Thea 2 is a game for you.

- Fix for dwarf baker quest, plus a few more small event fixes.
