Yes, Elders, I know... 3 patches in a day, what the? I wanted to get some final changes in following feedback on the new adjacencies before the patch goes into the main branch. ;)

Have fun!

Hello Elders! A new experimental versions with some bugfixes and a lot more work on the controller support (phew, that requires *a lot* of work!) The game now is completely playable with a controller, so I am going to fix some smaller issues and do some small balance tweaks on the new mechanics and I can push everything that is in experimental to the main branch this week!

Have fun!

Hello Elders! I just pushed a new update on experimental that, among fixes, also adds a new scoring system. The new system assigns zero points to Buildings and Pips, and instead focuses more on prevented events and saved turns.

A word of caution: the highscore table will be reset when we get out of experimental

Have fun!
