BALANCE & GAMEPLAY
Introduced a system for changing the look of the Caravan Camp, namely the main tent, Verren's tent, and the cart. This can be done with special items purchased from merchants and then added to the Appearance Collection - a new tab in the Caravan menu.
There are currently 3 sets available: the Profiteer and Free Mercenary Appearances in the base game, and the Nomad Appearance in the new Supporter Pack.

Banners were also updated to use this new mechanic and now need to be added to the Collection before use.A new building has been added to the Brynn Docks: the Customs House. It seizes smuggled goods from unscrupulous merchants, then sells them off at affordable prices. Among other things, this is where you'll be able to purchase new Caravan Appearances.
