v2.2 Beta Branch Available

Hi everyone! We've just opened a beta branch for Landnama's v2.2 update! We'd love to get your feedback on the content patch over the weekend. The update brings balancing changes, some visual improvements, quality of life features, two new clans to unlock, new daily trial modifiers and a new difficulty level! The Mastery system has been changed to grant more points (from 3 to a total of 6 now). The design goal is to make the choice less restrictive, the power curve steeper and generally allow you to have more tools at your disposal to tackle challenging maps. You will be able to try more versatile builds depending on the needs. Support production buildings (all except Shipbuilder) can now also be built on any biome type (except Glacier). With this change, we want to allow you to create more interesting and fun synergies by connecting production lines which the biome type hard requirement was preventing in most cases. Let us know what you think about those changes and share your feedback to help fine-tune the update before the release! Thank you for your support!
