Chapter 11 is now available to the public! Patch notes are included below. As ever, it is strongly recommended to load a save from the Temporal Rift.

- Significant new section of the story.

- Over 30 new pieces of equipment!

- A new iteration of Castle Kharos!

- Two new areas in Castle Kharos (with the appropriate proposal investments)!

- Receive your first Custom Armor (with the appropriate proposal investment)!

- New loyalty skills/upgrades available (Cynthia, Lorena, Stelianos, Despoina, and Calysia [Alivaen path only, at present]).

= Balance Changes

- Ariadne's Wildfire damage increased significantly, and damage multiplier against a single target increased to x2.5

- Burning no longer triggers against Instant skills.

- Reworked skills for Cynthia

 ~ Bloodfury and Tranquil Fury have been redesigned as Fury builders with new effects. 

 ~ Damage of Blood Strike and Retaliate increased. Blood Strike now has a 2 round cooldown.

 ~ Farstrike is now usable in either oath and builds extra Fury if it hits an archer or sorcerer.

 ~ Clash now generates 2 Fury rather than 1. 

 ~ New skill: Sweeping Strike, a Fury builder AoE. 

 ~ New skill: Barbed Thrust, a Fury builder for Blood Oath that causes Bleeding. 

- Cynthia's builder combos are now two-round combos with increased Fury generation but a cooldown.

- Annihilate damage is now 25% defense piercing,

- Somnus's Lucid Dream cost decreased to 20 DP. Cooldown changed to 3 rounds.

- Somnus's Nightfall cooldown removed. 

- Somnus now generates an extra 5 DP per curse on the target, not counting Night's Touch.

- Dark Whisper now has a cooldown

- Sleep and Enthralled now cause Resilience. 

- Lowered the rate of Chilled accumulation from melee attacks against Lorena to 35% (was 65%). Chilled rate remains 100% during Frozen Rampart.

- Frozen lasts 1 turn less against most bosses

- Frozen is now affected by (but does not cause) Resilience.

- Several Chapter 10 bosses are now correctly immune to Freeze.

- Fixed an issue where Lorena's physical attacks would break Frozen on the turn it was applied if they caused the Frozen effect.

- Added 1 point of Noble Support to the decision to deploy a large force to the Elysian Groves.

- Added 5 Lorena loyalty for those who chose to face Somnus in Hypernia.

- Changed 1 point of Popular Support to 5 points of Alcinian Support in the Alcina's Faithful proposal. This change will be automatically applied on the version transition from the Temporal Rift. 

- Added a new "Elite Overwhelming" effect that is effective against tanks in plate armor (but ineffective against Alexander). This has been retroactively added to Royal Knights in Chapter 10. 

= Features

- The Autosave slot can now be reached quickly by pressing Shift in the save menu. This is indicated in the header.

- F7 now saves a screenshot to a "Screenshots" folder in the game directory. 

- The Proposal menu now shows Elite Units as a benefit and has a new category for "Other" benefits such as new castle areas. 

- Factor effects for decisions now show the current value in parenthesis. 

- Added "Unique" items. These items are designated by a "(Unique)" tag at shops, and can only be purchased once. 

- Character nametags during dialog are now available as an option in the System menu. Note: this option is experimental, please report any bugs encountered. 

- All Prince's Command effects through 100 Loyalty are now implemented. 

= UI Improvements

- Fixed clipping in the quest log description box.

- Fixed weird extra linebreaks in quest log objectives.

- Re-added luck stat when checking stat change effects of items.

- Rewrote the code for the item comparison on the right-hand menu in shops; comparisons are now done by total stat value change (with 50 HP/MP = 1 point of other stats). 

= Bugfixes

- Fixed the incorrect Army Size bonus for Siege Weaponry (now gives +1 Army Size as intended; was incorrectly +3). This will be automatically corrected on the version transition from the Temporal Rift for those who invested. 

- Fixed the benefits for proposals added in Chapter 10 being double counted. This will be automatically corrected on the version transition from the Temporal Rift. 

- Attackers now correctly take damage from Lorena's Glaciate if triggered by a freeze-immune enemy attacking.
