A pre-release version of next week’s Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes patch is now available.

Version 1.8 adds five new monsters to the game, as well as changing how monster armies are spawned, which together add a lot of variety to the neutral armies players face during a game.

To opt into the development snapshot, do the following:

• Right-click Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes in your Steam library
• Select “Properties”
• Select the “Betas” tab
• Choose “1.8 Beta” from the drop-down menu
• Close the Properties window

Legendary Heroes v1.8 also makes some balance tweaks. Read the full change log here.
