Aero has gone to sleep already after a long, tiresome day so I am posting this for him instead.

Hello everyone, it's finally time to release next major version. As usually, this major version will contain a new chapter, but also improves the gameplay. I've once again went to a next level and improved many systems and made many great changes. I've been doing this new major version half a year so it definitely does have many great improvements.

Beta 1.8h to Beta 1.9

CHANGES:

  • Chapter 9 is now available for playing.
  • Attack and Armor types remade; values are changed and Attack & Armor types are removed. I've made the campaign simpler, easier to learn and more effective this way.
  • Rebalanced the armor values of all enemy units in all chapters.
  • Improved chapter 3's ending dialogues (outdated).
  • Vacuum's area of effect reduced. You cannot grap items from far away anymore.
  • Background stories and so-called "Books" are completely added to all chapters in this version.
  • Every single Spell Book spell has been added to the campaign!
  • Many new items and item changes. For example, superior items, which costs a huge amount of gold, are added to middle chapters; however, they're worth it!
  • Improved the multiboard a lot. Now it is more informative and better organized.
  • Combat kings once again rebalanced and changed. The major thing is that now they all cost 2 Honor Points.
  • Espers improved and made even stronger. Please come and tell me what you think about the Espers now. I've seen that players don't use them and I really want to make them useful.
  • Many changes to the starting packs! Now they should be balanced, every single one of them!
  • Stealing improved; now it shows the percentages.
  • Easter Eggs added; currently just 2 but there will be a total of 12 Easter Eggs. Check them all out!
  • Mystic Storm and Frost Shard recoded.
  • From this version onwards, a number of items can only be bought once. Choose wisely and try not to lose those items. You cannot buy them again!
  • Small changes to abilities, but not much. I plan to once again balance them in the coming minor version. For example, I was thinking to completely remove Bleed, Brittle and Stagger. What do you think?
  • Fixed hundreds of major and minor bugs.

So, after this version, what's left to be done?

Also, can you make something about the loading time? It just that takes so long :(
