Steam Updates and Releases 02 July 2011

• Autocombat optimized. This makes autocombat and end turn quicker, especially when large armies are involved. It also fix some late-game freeze bugs.
• Movement optimizations. Unnecessary network and GUI calls removed. This makes moving large unit stacks and creating attack arrows much quicker. This also speeds up end turn.
• Unit quantity markers are shown correctly in locations and buildings.
• EventMonitor sometimes stopped updating for months.

Dungeons: Map Pack DLC, the 2nd DLC for DUNGEONS - Steam Special Edition, is now available on Steam!

The pack also includes fifty new maps and five wallpapers for the game. Assume the role of a mighty Dungeon Lord and create your own diabolical dungeon.

Dear Everybody,

Steam Camp’s going great! Last night we snuck out and got Marty’s car up to 100! Two guardrails later we ended up in a field. Man! Who knew tires could light grass on fire. . . Anyway we met a kid coming to camp on a horse. We gave him a lift back with Tappet and the horse on top. The kid’s some kind of foreign exchange student, so we don’t know what he’s saying most of the time even though it’s pretty clear he’s mad a lot. Cyl thinks the kid’s parents must be rich because he really, really loves to boss everybody around. Anyway, there’s a ton of new stuff to do today, so I gotta go.

At camp we have a phrase that I really like, it goes “You learn something new every day”. Today I learned that the letter “C” makes and “ess” sound. After he read my letter from yesterday, Cyl taught me that lesson. The camp nurse is pretty nice.

Your pal,

Cir Roderick
