[img]http://www.renownedexplorers.com/files/NewTechTrees.png[/img] A few months ago we promised to update Renowned Explorers every two weeks in 2015. Even in these last few weeks, we have 2 more big Patches planned for you! One for today, and one for later in December. These patches greatly increase the replayability of Renowned Explorers so that you can have many more fresh adventures next year. And while our patch program will not continue in 2016, we will be announcing exciting news for Renowned Explorers's future. It will be even better than bi-weekly patches so keep an eye out the coming weeks! But for now, let's introduce this patch's major changes. Read the full notes [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/296970/discussions/0/520518688938133991/]here[/url], including many small balance changes and fixes. [h1]Completely new Tech Trees [/h1] While the previous tech trees offered lots of different strategies already, we believed they focused too much on specific character classes. This means that your Research strategy was largely determined by your crew choice. To increase the number of available strategies we created entirely new Research Trees. These new trees focus on very different aspects and allow you more control over your Supplies capacity. We've already found a lot of new strategies, and trust that you will find even more. Start up the game now to test it out. And let us know what you think!

This Patch it's Pedrinho's turn. His new Captain Perk 'FUNraiser' focuses on his qualities as a party host to gain funds during Campaign jobs across the world. [h1]Supplies[/h1] The new Research trees grant you much more control over the amount of Supplies you bring on expeditions. Supplies are a powerful tool for increasing your expedition length. To keep the game fun we balanced a lot of the supply costs and gains for traveling and rewards. So don't be surprised if your expeditions from now on seem harder or different. Just make sure you prepare well with the new Research tree!
