For the last weeks, we have done quite some work and added tons of new content and updates into the game!

So let's summarize the main points:
- Ironmode
- New difficulty setting: Desolation
- 2 new beast classes
- Mutators absorptions
- New quests and battle objectives
- 3rd zone removed (we want to make the game more compact for now, and will add a new zone when we add new faction)

Changelog:

0.85.21
added new feature: Mutators absorption - after x battles, a equipped mutator might get absorbed into character and become a permanent part of him.
in villages, when player attacking, sort the player spawns to be near the enemy

Poison resistance - now makes progress only when poison appl. duration > 1 (ignores poison.torns)

leg.items - trait levels now range 4-10.

0.85.21+1
Bounty hunters - the spawn rate now is based on days elapsed and battles fought.
balance - cultis archer wont snipe by default, only on max-focus
fix: we cant merge leg. mutators (aka relics)

0.85.22
Hard diff. scaling overhaul

0.85.23
set Max Mutators absorptions count for each class. Most human classes have 3. Revenants have 0. The others range 1-2.
Blood Strength - bonus damage is now calculated based on current attack instead of MAX HP. Flesh eater - bonus damage is now calculated based on current attack instead of MAX HP.
mutator absorptions - added tracking and limiting abs. to max 2 mutators.
balance diff, for diff. at hard.: no level is shown in the unit info UI. Instead just "???".
balance diff, villages threshold next zone is now 50% (66%)
bounty hunters count reduced globally
"StrongVS Armour" is replacing "StongVS below"
barrel thrower: min range 6->3

Mutators absorption - now you get a proper UI prompt asking if you want to accept or reject given mutator.

0.85.23+1
small bugfix (mut. abs. crashing game)

0.85.23+3
easy/normal diff. settings balances (less enemies, lvl better scale)

0.85.23+4
bounty hunters - slightly increased the spawn timer
calamities - tuned down enemy numbers (relic, plague, escaped creatures)
hard/norml diff. scale updates/fixes for zone2+

0.85.23+5
Ram now ignores Stalwart

0.85.23+6
Introducing new game mechanics - "projectiles blocking".
it's a kind of 'ranged counter'.

1 .when a enemy character with shield (or a special trait) stands between your archer and target, the hit-chance is reduced by 90% and the blocking (guardian) enemy is most likely hit (90% as you can see)
2. any character wielding shield reduces damage of projectiles by 33%.
with this mechanic we can use the guardian, spearman and footman (who also acts as 'projectiles blocker') as a wall for blocking incoming projectiles.

0.85.23+7
small fix crashing the game when battle starts

v.0.85.23+8
integrated ironman UI into start game screen;

v.0.85.23+9
added 'stunlock' preventer: if a characters gets pushed back in timeline too much (with slow/stun/..) within short time, it gets a 'stun recovery' for 1 turn which prevents him to be further slowed (thus prevents stunlock).

v.0.85.23+10

increased BATTLEFIELD_AGILITY_THRESHOLD_TO_2TIMES 50 -> 75. I.e. you need more speed bonus to act sooner.

maybe a bugfix for crashing game in ironman on closing rewards UI
