Hey guys and gals,

The time has come to end the Halloween event.

We hope you enjoyed it!

At 17:00 CET today we patched the game, thus ending the Halloween event. We removed the Halloween related things such as the Nightmare safe house and the possibility to receive more Halloween related items in the drops.

I understand many of you were frustrated that you couldn't hoard more Halloween patterns because of the low % chance. That was a mistake on our part and good feedback that we'll take with us going forward.

This update is a big one! Loads of new features have been added, here's the list...

XP - You will now earn experience points after each completed game, based on your performance. If you quit a game before the end you will NOT earn any XP.

Player Profile - There is now a Profile button which takes you to a screen where you can set your preferred character and monitor your progress.

Levels - You can now level-up! Earn enough experience points from playing games and you will rise through the adventurer ranks!

Leaderboards - Your XP is uploaded to a leaderboard, so you can compare your XP with everyone! A 'friends-only' leaderboard is available too. NOTE: the XP leaderboard MAY be reset when the game is released for technical reasons.

Runestones - The biggest new addition is the Runestone system. Runestones are cards you can collect as you level-up and are attached to your characters. Runestones can be equipped for online games too, when that feature is added, so level-up as much as you can before then! See the Runestone guide in the Guides section for more information, or just play the game and discover them for yourself!

Classic Rules - A new button on the game setup screen allows you to create a game based on the standard Talisman rules as per the board game. This means -
All characters are randomly drawn.
When a character is killed, they return as a random character.
Characters do not use Runestones.

The Reaper has retreated to his Inner Region space.

AI Bug fixes -
Picking up objects improved. The AI will no longer pick everything up and then work out what to keep.
AI players will now show more urgency to get to the Crown of Command if another player is there or nearly there.

Spell-casting timer increased.

Destruction can now be cast after you've moved but before you encounter the space you're on, so you can use it to destroy cards on your space.

New sound effects for Random, Immobility, Counterspell, Hex and Command spells.

3 whole seconds shaved off the loading time! More time to play!

Next update will include -
ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!

Sergeant Vaulin Dmitri Petrovich

Co-pilot of a Pe-8, in the 890th Bombardier Regiment

On my second combat sortie, I was serving as a crew member for Captain Alexander Ivanovich Sukorkin. The navigator was Major Tkachenko. The mission: bombing the enemy railway junction in Warsaw. We were carrying parachute flare bombs. In the bomb bay, we had 40 flare bombs ranging from 50-60 kilograms each. Our job was to light up the railway junction so other bombers could follow with conventional munitions. So we flew. We knew the westward route quite well: Smolensk – Minsk – Warsaw. We flew along the path. Near Smolensk, we encountered a little shooting. We flew on, and over Minsk our engine number three was knocked out – they had anti-aircraft guns without spotlights. (Usually, enemy fighters would be in the air, and a spotlight would highlight a plane in the darkness so that a fighter could come up behind it and shoot it down. But there were only anti-aircraft guns here. Apparently the Germans had radars).
