Welcome traveler,

to enjoy Conjurers and Catacombs update which brings Chronicles of Vaeltaja to version 0.6.4.1
I've announced the update earlier this week, but I left out some important details: this update brings also a new dungeon Cemetery Catacombs. To enter those ancient and dark corridors, you have to talk to a couple of Conjurers found in the Lazy Moon Tavern. They will give you the details, if you're brave enough.

But that's not all. Because the Temple of Divine Architect has forbidden the ways of Conjurer in Castle Town, there's a new shop opened just outside the Castle Town: All Night Charms. And yes, it is open all the time! There you will find some summoning spells that will help you to strengthen your new companions. When it comes to Stats, 'charisma' is important to Conjurer, as it will affect how ferociously the summons will fight, but 'agility' and 'strength' help too, and of course 'intelligence' is needed to increase 'energy', so more powerful creatures can be summoned. And remember, Conjurer can become either a summoner or a necromancer!

There's also one new side-quest that can be found after exiting the catacombs and it will finally grant access to the small wooden house in the forest near the cemetery.

This update changes some mechanics by adding Combat Rows and Instant Movement, enhances visual side with icons and new torch animations. Brings couple of new enemies and fixes some bugs.

Even though this update doesn't break saves, I've noticed some strange behaviour when testing with old saves. I haven't encountered anything game breaking and I hope you won't either, but this is a good chance to start a new game as there won't be this big changes to the game mechanics in the future.

I hope you will enjoy the new update!

Thank You!

  (I've located the issue behind this behaviour, but haven't been able to fix them yet.)
