In this update there is a new challenge map for 1-3 players called Invasion of Skalvia!

Invade the Skalvian lands and destroy all 3 shrines. The more you conquer, the more hostile the tribes become. Meanwhile, forest spirits hide in glades.




Hmm, I wonder what these strange Spiganas are about…

And of course, an achievement to come with it.


Besides the new map, there are features, tweaks and fixes as we continually improve the game and address feedback from the community.

Features:

• New achievement for completing Invasion of Skalvia on insane difficulty.
• New glyph: Conviction, allows you to up the amount of worker slots on a gathering building by 1.
• New glyph: Naave Spigana, replaces the common Spigana unit with a Naave Spigana which applies the death-touched status effect on attack.
• New glyph: Monk’s Brew, +25 health for all non-hero units.
• You can now see allied glyphs in the top bar UI next to the hero icons. This should also make it clearer when a hero picks up a campaign glyph meant for the other hero. Who knew the glyph just disappearing is not a great player experience?!
• Added flip direction tooltip to wall placement (TAB key).
• Unit Defensive stance has new and improved behavior (other stances are a work in progress).
• Added another invite button in the campaign interface to make the co-op possibility more obvious.
