The final nemesis of the core game has arrived in the third Early Access update. Read on to learn all about the Carapace Queen and more! [h1]Carapace Queen[/h1] [i]The Carapace Queen, the Mother-of-Husks, the Swarm Daughter - all these dread names we have chosen in our vain attempts to comprehend this creature. But of all The Nameless, the Queen has brought the most ruin upon Gravehold, for her armies are vast and lethal, more clockwork things than beasts. There is a saying about the husks: “To kill one is to breed six...”[/i] [img]https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35186246/63d626a68a4830228520162c722e1fee424f0d19.jpg[/img] The Carapace Queen is part of the core game and so is available for all to play starting with this update. Swarms of husks will threaten to overwhelm you and Gravehold before you can stop her! [h1]Card Library[/h1] Sometimes you just want to take a minute and look at the cool cards.

It includes all of the cards in the game - basic nemesis cards, nemeses and their unique cards, mages and their starter cards, and player cards available for the supply.

That brings many small improvements, but there's a risk of glitches too. Please let us know if you run into any trouble! Notably, on Linux, 32-bit x86 support has been dropped. Only 64-bit CPUs are now supported. On macOS, you may run into an error like: "The application can't be opened" or "Failed to start process for Aeon's End." If you see this, right-click the game in Steam and uninstall it, then reinstall it, and everything should work again. You won't lose any of your settings or saved game doing this. [h1]Other Improvements[/h1] This update includes various other bug fixes and improvements. Here's a list of the notable ones: Interactions: [list] [*] Insatiable Avarice now automatically gains a gem if there's only one choice. [/list] Information Display: [list] [*] The main menu now has an information area we can update to let you know about what's new. [/list] Visual Polish: [list] [*] An animation is now shown to make it clear when the nemesis Unleashes. [/list] Bug Fixes: [list] [*] The turn no longer incorrectly automatically ends when you are buying charges with a lot of Aether.

[/list] [h1]What's Next[/h1] The Early Access period is nearly at an end! The last major features we plan to add before retail launch are Steam achievements and statistics. We're also working on more performance improvements and optimizations. Plus, bonus content unlocked by the Kickstarter is on the roadmap to release soon after retail launch on Steam and tablets.
