Bugfixes

• Fixed a rare bug with "Jester's Pun" that would allow the Jester to try and insult himself and be both insulter and insulted, causing a paradox.
  
• Fixed being able to close building phase during the first bivoauc placement if using a controller
  
• Fixed quitting at the first turn not saving the Bivoauc placement
  
• Fixed Yugong tasks showing the wrong numbers in Slow mode
  
• Fixed bug with events stealing food being able to send food to the negative, thus creating "ghost hungry Pips"
  

Hello Elders! It was just reported to me that some players had their Hard and Harder difficulties
not registering correct threat levels, and instead using Normal threat levels. This made the game quite easier, was not intended, and I fixed it. Hard must have 150% threat generation, and Harder 200%.

The change will affect your *next* game. If you start Hard/Harder mode without noticing that the threat was not increasing correctly, well, you were playing at an easier level than intended (but still harder than Normal due to the other modifiers), so you'll be facing the real challenge now! If you find this too much for your current run, you can (temporarely) use the combo LEFT SHIFT + D + N to cycle difficulty during play.


V 1.3.2

Balance Fix for Hard/Harder

• It was reported that some players had their Hard and Harder difficulties not registering correct threat levels, making the game easier than intended. The values will now be correct when you start a
• new* game. If you find your game too harsh as you started a Hard mode without noticing that the threat was not increasing correctly, you can (temporarely) use the combo LEFT SHIFT + D + N to cycle difficulty during play.

Have fun

Hello Elders! I did some more balance tweaks on some of the most "feelbad" events, and some more fixes.
As I said, I'll be doing rehab for my leg in August (having the baby at home so it won't be as easy to work eheh!), then I'll resume work, in the meantime I should be around for some extreme programming if some ugly bugs show up!

Have fun and see you in September!

V 1.3.1

UX

• Removed "Big Village" hint as it was generating confusion
  

Balance

• Swapped "Burial Site" and "Grave" amount of Pips cured per cure action
  
• "Boon: Illuminism": moved from tier 7 to tier 4, so that it can be more useful
  
• "Flu Epidemic": It is now a Risk event instead of an Omen event. Can appear as a Doom event.
  
• "Rising Tensions": It is now a Risk event instead of an Omen event. Can appear as a Doom event.
  
• "Body Heat": Increased minimum Pips constraint from 20 to 30
  
• "Overcrowding": Increased minimum Pips constraint from 20 to 30

• "Contagious Cough": Reduced strength from T*3% to T*2%
