Patch 15 is now available on the Beta Branch!
Following the release of Hero Possession Mode in our last update, we shifted our focus back to the Elemental Orbs.
We are thrilled to introduce the drawing wonders for the Air Orb, officially completing the ultimate wonder lineup for all four elements: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air!
Here is what you can unleash today:
The Tornado: Summon a massive vortex to hurl your mortals across the map!
Automated Construction: Tired of manually gathering wood and babysitting construction sites?
Cast a magical wind that automatically harvests timber and builds structures for you!

Added camera shake effect for godly fist, comets, big berta, fireball and fps punch
Collected food is now also represented as a throwable barrel of food

Performance improvement via cached unlockable skills, significantly reducing effort to check if an action is available for the player or AI
Performance improvement for dialog movers by always using the precalculated last value
Performance improvement by gaining potential breed value for a settlement by caching internal values, thereby improving general performance when the settlement overview is active
Similar performance improvements for calculating gained resources with the same result (improving general performance when the settlement overview is active)
General performance improvement for settlement overview logic by caching whatever value can be cached, especially for gain and loss calculations
Performance improvement by reducing the amount of localizations done by caching values for all UI icons and checking if values have really changed
Performance improvement for localization of parameters, which could result in bad performance in some cases
Performance improvement by reducing the amount of object positions that need to be calculated per frame
