: A highly requested change allowed for more complex maneuvers on the battlefield; enemies no longer stop immediately after being blasted by a single effect when pushed back, opening the door for sneaky traps and combos .
: The threat level color system was updated to give players a clearer sense of the danger posed by neutral armies on the map.

Whether you are leading the knights of or the necromancers of the Barony of Loth , version 0.81.0 reinforced the importance of Essence management .

Getting Started for New Wielders
: A new Spell Damage Power attribute was added to Wielder sheets and level-up menus, making it easier to track and optimize your magical output.
