Rallying Cry now grants +50% bonus during the Melee phase.
Flaming Missiles now grants +50% bonus during the Missile phase.
Changed Summon cards to Reinforce cards (including Creeping Death and Power of the Woods). These cards can now only be played on your own land or a neutral/enemy land that has your hero on it but has no battle happening.
Adjusted Sabotage card to raze the target land if it has no improvements.
Adjusted Stealth card to make your heroes move first regardless of army size.
Changed Loot Ruins card to Hidden Treasure which gives you a random amount based on the target land’s resource. This amount is tripled when played on a land with Ruins.

Steal takes away 50% of an enemy’s gold income the next turn.
Traitor reduces the enemy’s defense by 50% for 1 turn.
Bribery does 50% damage to a neutral army.
Added a new Warrior card – Siege Machinery
Siege Machinery nullifies all defensive bonuses for enemies on target land.

Fixed target for Defeat Solmallow and Defeat Aldmallow objectives. (4th level in Revenant campaign)

Added reminders for all objectives with turn limits.
Fixed reported bugs for certain campaign levels and increased turn limit for most of the Conquer Kingdom objectives.
Changed Game UI behavior to show details depending on whether an army or land is selected.
Changed the way how neutral army spawning works. Due to this the Summon Tentaklor card behaves differently as it now spawns a Tentaklor hero that you have to fight and will subjugate the land where it was summoned if left alone.

Adjusted the Recruiter hero ability to affect the entire stack when hiring units.

MerliniX, one of the players of Legends of Callasia, is hosting a 1v1 throwdown this week!
Matches will be best two out of three 1v1 games. Games will be played on the map Meral Sea. Players will reverse start positions for game two. What this means is if you start in position 1 for game one, you will be starting in position 2 for game two. If a third game is required it will be played with the ‘Random Start Position’ enabled.
