Update v64 — Youkai on the Roads
Stories once dismissed as roadside folklore are becoming harder to ignore. This update adds a broad youkai roster, new contracts, more varied world activity, and additional controls for new campaigns.
Youkai
- Expanded the youkai threat with Gaki, Onibi, Tengu, Kamaitachi, Yuki-onna, Ushi-oni, Yato-no-kami, and stronger Oni.
- Added distinct abilities, combat behavior, artwork, and effects for the new youkai.
- Added habitat-based youkai populations and varied mixed encounters. Some spirits hunt alone; others gather around stronger threats.
- Added new youkai sightings, locations, rumors, contracts, and cult activity. Folktales may contain more truth than they once did.
Contracts and the World
- Added Find the Missing and Clear the Road contracts, with varied threats and outcomes.
- Expanded world news and rumors to cover every roaming enemy type, with more natural reports of party sizes.
Campaign Options
- Added a Youkai Amount campaign setting: None, Light, Normal, Heavy, or Extreme. This changes their world population without changing individual encounter strength.
- Added campaign settings for world-map size and the initial numbers of cities and clans.
Balance and Fixes
- Added more variation to humanoid parties through optional specialist roles.
- Fixed save previews interfering with clan relations in the active campaign.
- Rebalanced youkai combat strength, encounter composition, spawning, and visual scale.
- Public v60 campaign saves remain compatible with this update.
