July Update + free soundtrack DLC

Dear players,

Our first major update is here! The Early Access build 0.5.4 brings a host of changes and new options for the beginners and the veterans alike.



- Tutorial missions overhaul
All tutorial missions have been debugged and revamped to provide a smoother, smarter introduction to the game. In addition, completed missions are now marked as such so you can follow your progression.

- Current score preview
The scoring tab now includes a new button which displays the current score of each player.

- End game scoring animation
A completely new animation is now played at the end of the game to show the details of the scores, step by step: Popularity tiers, Stars, Territories under control, Resources under control, Structure bonus and Coins.

- Return of the Combat Cards
Exit Ammo! The game now uses the traditional name and icon for the Combat Cards. It's exactly the same thing.

- Power, Popularity and Triumph tracks
Here's a new option available any time from the Options window. It'll add the traditional panels around the map so you can quickly check the position of all players in the race for Stars, Power and Popularity.

- Industrial Rusviet combo ban
This new option is available when starting a new game. If turned on, it'll prevent the random pairing of the Industrial player mat with the Rusviet Union faction, as recommended by the FAQ of the board game.

- Round counter fix
Global rounds are now counted instead of individual turns.

- Camaraderie ability fix
Cheer up Polania, your Mech ability will now work as intended. Let's read the rule again: You do not lose popularity when forcing an opponent's workers to retreat after winning combat as the aggressor. This applies any time on your turn when your character or mechs force an opponent's workers to retreat after combat.

This patch also adds extra tooltips and numerous bugfixes, with additional bugfixes being worked on. As usual, if you stumble onto any bug please, please report it on the forum and we'll investigate.




As a small gift for your ears, here's a free DLC containing all music tracks currently in the game. It'll be updated with any extra tracks added to Scythe: Digital Edition in the future (yes, including new factions themes!). You can finally listen to these bone-chilling Nordic tunes while playing the original board game with your friends.

Visit the DLC page below and simply press Download. The tracks will be added to your hard drive (by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Scythe Digital Edition\Scythe soundtrack) as well as your Steam client music player (available by hovering over the Library button).

We hope you'll enjoy this patch and DLC. Feel free to leave a review to support the game.

Cheers!
