For our 6th update, we've overhauled the weather system making it more realistic and adding different intensities of rain up to thunder and lightning. We've also adjusted the scoring calculations adding a new category, Wealth, and doubling the effect of Merit so expect a new personal best in your next playthrough. Exposed modifiers in the travel panels mean you can judge which items you can and cannot do without next time you're planning a journey to some far flung desert stronghold and the addition of bullet effects on guns will help you work out who is shooting at you when you get there! Read the full list below and let us know what you think in the forum!
