New/Updated Features and Content

• Three new leader races (Dark Elf, Demonkin, and Kalani human)
• Leader races and backgrounds received a major overhaul
• Additional leader portrait variations
• New Jagged Waste codex entry added to all vagri
• Added a long, long codex entry to all characters called 'the Imperial Calendar' (you asked for it!)
• 3 new equipment added (Perimeter Alarms and Traveling Saddles can be bought in some markets, while Mount Blankets can be acquired via other means)

User Interface Improvements

• "P" hotkey now opens and closes Price History (the Chart remains in the background)
• You can now use Shift+click to mount/dismount by 10 units
• The Deputy UI drag-and-drop area has been enlarged (it's easier to drop Deputies into circles)
• In settlements without slavery, the tooltip will now correctly indicate the reason for not being able to deal in slaves
• Crew condition tooltip effects now roll-up from Perk levels into individual lines
• Inactive effects on Statuses now indicate why they are inactive similarly to Equipment inactive effects

Improvements and Tweaks

• Specters received a new combat Skill called ‘Chill of the Grave’, which can lower the target’s Cold Resistance for 3 rounds
• Mining stealthily at the Hills of Plenty was tweaked so that your actual mining skills and workforce decides your yield, not your skill in sneaking (yields from this can never reach the potential of legitimate mining, but you can still mostly avoid being caught with the right amount of stealthy Perks)
• Reworked the faction quest rewards and for Houses Venari, Darius, and Oquo to make them more in line with each other

Updated Mechanics

• Companion Prowess storyline gating was moved to 4, 6, and 8 (from 3, 5, and 7) to alleviate the unintended combat difficulty increase with the addition of companion loyalty events
• Winning a battle against enemies lessens the impact on your material losses (fleeing survivors can still take stuff and the enemy can still cause harm to beasts and perishable cargo during a fight, so some losses will remain)
• Choosing the 'enslave' option lowers Abolitionist faction reputation
• Staying on the lowest or highest reputation point barrier with a faction disables their knock-on reputation effects for other factions
• A number of market- and economy-related tweaks
• Removed the estimation of days of travel from settlements in your Chart that are not reachable in the game (though this may be somewhat immersion-breaking, the Chart this way might cause less confusion when planning journeys)
• Beast lures received a buff, making them more useful during Appease

Bug Fixes

• Drag and Drop equipment to locked EQ slot is no longer possible
• Fixed the low morale and obedience events where there was no available choice
• Hunting and Foraging quantity now has a maximum cap
• Encourage button no longer grays out instantly on the Camp UI
