After a lot of player feedback, design discussions, and internal testing, we believe we’ve finally landed on a system that gives larger rooms a meaningful purpose without forcing us to rebalance the entire game.
With this new approach, bigger rooms will cause humans to spend more turns inside them, making room size a much more important strategic choice. It should also address one of the last major pain points we’ve seen from the community around mansion layout and room-building.
More info on this later, including steps to join the community playtesting of the new system.
Doing so, you will actually have an impact on how the game evolves!

Added the explanation of the “Act” keyword in the glossary.
