Hi!
This update addresses player feedback on an important gameplay issue which was the impossibility of defeat. Since it was possible to retry battles infinitely, victory was basically guaranteed after a while. This was so the player would always have a way to progress no matter what, but ends up reducing the joy of winning, since you really had nothing to lose.
To solve this, two things were made:
1 - Implement a maximum number of retreats. If the player loses more than X battles in the same expedition run, it's game over. The numbers are at 6,4,2 for Easy, Normal and Hard, respectively. It's likely these will need tweaking during development.
2 - Create a checkpoint system, which in case of game over will reset the game save to the beginning of the current campaign chapter. So, you'll never lose progress from completed chapters.
That's it! Keep your suggestions coming on the forums.
All the best,
Rubmon
