New Features

- Added Environmental Effects: Fire, Oil, Big Rock
- Added a Shop to get new Equipment instead of getting a random one at the end of a level.

- Enemies now spawn in categories instead of being a generic "enemy"
- Added new enemies: Orc, Goblin, Melee Kobold, Ranged Kobold
- At the start of each level, you choose (or vote in multiplayer) on two options: Which enemy group you will fight and the reward that comes with that.
- The camera now angles itself to see every enemy and player in the arena.
- You are now able to play cards while the current card is still resolving.
- Enemies' turns are now sped up depending on how many enemies are alive. This can be configured in the pause menu.
- Improved UI for the inventory and equipment screen.
- Improved UI for cards.
- Hovering over an enemy shows how much health that enemy has instead of having to look at the side of the screen.
- Max hand size is now 10. You still draw 5 cards at the start of your turn.
- Some new cards change the cost of other cards! When a card's cost is reduced it will be green, when it is increased it will be red.

Bug Fixes

- Enemies will now wait for the current card's popup to finish before playing another card.
- If you play a card that requires a hex target and click on a character on that hex, it will select the hex instead of giving an error. The same is true for cards that require a character and clicking on their hex.
- No longer asks to confirm loadout before the first level.
