[img]http://www.renownedexplorers.com/files/ImportantButtons.png[/img] After months of updates we present you with the last update of our patch program in 2015. For those that want to keep discovering things in the new year, we have just announced great news on our [url=www.twitch.tv/abbeygames]Twitch channel[/url]: [h1]We're busy working on an expansion for Renowned Explorers![/h1] Its release is still far away and we can't give many details yet. We can say that we will be focusing on content by working on 2 exotic new expeditions. We also want to look into a feature that puts a lot more focus on relationships inside your crew, but this is not guaranteed yet. Make sure to keep an eye on our channels to stay informed! For example, sign up for our [url=http://reusgame.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a8cb3be367b8148a8f284a476&id=b8cbf27b92]newsletter[/url]. Since playing the expansion will change the game, we will start an Alpha program at some point, so that we can work with you to keep all current value intact. Since we'll be focusing our efforts on the expansion, we will stop the bi-weekly update. We'll keep supporting, so expect 1 or 2 more patches until the expansion, but it won't be every two weeks! And now, the contents of Patch #11. We focused on two frequent requests you had for the game. Read the detailed patch notes [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/296970/discussions/0/520518688938133991/]here[/url] or just the highlights below! [h1]Freeplay after 5th Expedition[/h1] Renowned Explorers is about gaining as much Renown as possible before the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/296970/discussions/0/487877107130610696/]Exploration Year[/url] is over. To this end you have come up with many creative, smart and powerful strategies. Since you are judged for your score after 5 expeditions (which is important for the game design) you sometimes don't get to enjoy your full power when your strategy's end game kicked in. With this Patch we introduced the option to continue playing after your 5th expedition. This allows you to buy that one extra item, or finish the research tree, reach max level or test out your crew in Shangri-La without losing the game. It's important to note that you won't get another chance at beating Rivaleux' score: you are judged after 5 expeditions and any new expeditions are purely for your own fun, as the challenge of time pressure is gone. But still, you get to explore the entire world with your crew! [h1]Encounter movement[/h1] Renowned Explorers is a Turn-based Strategy game. This makes it about making interesting choices, rather than hand eye coordination. Sometimes you (and we as well) had the problem of misclicking a tile during movement. In a dangerous situation this could end your entire adventure. To relieve this we introduced the Undo Move button which allows you to redo your very last movement (not action!). Together with the ability to spend movement in multiple clicks, this will definitely ease your encounter play.
