LICH:

Dragonbreath 3 damage reduced from 60 to 40 but now has LONG CONE shape
new ability Leach 2: reduces damage from 40 to 30 vs base spell but changes shape from NONE to CROSS
new ability Leach 3: increases range from 2 to 3
new ability Nimble 2: upgrades +move from +1 to +2

ASSORTED BUG / QOL STUFF:

fix to a bug that mightve caused flickering or misplaced pointers
fixed a bug causing the 'goblins rescued' ui to not autohide when entering the party menu or a new combat
fixed a bug causing 'crater' to not hit the caster
status effects in the overhead display will now autohide while in combat completion so they dont obscure exp numbers
fixed a bug causing the loot display to not show the 8th item. additionally loot will now be sorted by quality/tier so that when there are too many items to display in the current UI, which only has 8 slots, the least interesting items will be the ones hidden.
added (experimental) support for DX12 as a fallback for cards that don't support DX11 for whatever reason (should have no effect on you unless you're having trouble launching the game)
fixed a bug causing spirits to sometimes spawn on top of buildings
fixed a bug where if you started a combat in the middle of a big collider (like if you managed to worm your way on top of a building or something), it would essentially break your save. If you had a save file stuck in this broken-combat-setup state, loading it now will send you home. In general starting combats in these impossible locations will send you home in the future.
added a note 'hits entire battlefield' to the tooltips for relevant abilities
fixed a rounding error causing the scrollbar in memory selection to not show up until you had one row + 1 extra memory to display.
you now get pointers to the nurseries (when nearby) if you skip the memory quest and go straight to the castle

If you play with a Sony controller please go to your keybind menu (in the Settings menu) and assign Square to "Action 2", or reset it to the default preset. This input is useful for leaving caretakers in towns and, most importantly, for focusing on hovered goblins in combat and viewing their skill tooltips.
