V0.19.05 (July 17, 2026)

New game features:

- Implemented Berserk battlefield mechanic

-- Berserk battle entities view everyone else on the battlefield as an enemy, and nobody as an ally

-- Berserk battle entities display special skull and dagger particles over their portraits. Additionally, their team membership highlight particle turns gray

-- Berserk battle entities have a gray bar around their head portrait in the turn order tracking panel

-- Berserk battle entities have greatly increased damage output but also suffer a significant penalty to accuracy, dodging, and spell deflection

-- Various boss and mini-boss strength enemies have the new Insanity Spiral combat ability which can turn an enemy berserk

- Some combat abilities now have a guaranteed hit, meaning they should never miss and can never be dodged, deflected/reflected, or rebuffed

-- This is mostly used for summons to avoid strange situations like a summon spell being deflected

-- In place of an accuracy, "Guaranteed Hit" is displays for combat abilities that use this

- Additional work on settlement system (only available on cheat/debug builds)

-- Building management panel now has buttons to auto-fill jobs and homes, as well as displaying how many job vacancies and extra housing space your settlement has

New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):

- Added Bow of Madness tier 2 popup dungeon reward, a bow that has a chance to make enemy targets become berserk

- Added custom Party Spirit artwork. Art is by ClipTF

- Added dryad encounter in Ice Roads, introducing the new Dryad Vanguardener form. Art is by Rae

-- Currently only the female dryad is present. The male graphic is coming soon.

- Added Demon Overseer, a miniboss level enemy found with the Court of Lust. Art is by Icy

Miscellaneous:

- The battle AI scoring now boosts combat abilities that increase the attacker's health, such as the arachnid's Vitality Siphon ability

- Added Vengeful Dryad hostile NPC party in west Ice Roads region

- Bribing enemy NPC parties to not attack the player party has been tweaked. There is now a fixed base price, and each party member adds in an additional amount to the total. High Haggling skill lowers the final amount.

- Updated several companion form ids: Fairy Flowertender, Satyr Reveler, and Kitsune Trickster. There should be no change in behavior, but this has the potential to break old save games files

- Tutorial messages can now show an icon that relevant to the concepts they are teaching about

- Added more tutorial messages for the settlement system

Cheat/Debug controls (patreon-backer builds only):

- Added buttons to make selected entity berserk, all units on enemy team, and all units on ally team

Bugfixes:

- Fix for summoned wolves being able to perform Midnight Howl

- Suppressed fire and damage props in the Peace Talks Camp upon map load before the conditions for them are met
