Our next iteration on the Cicero beta is now live.
A whole host of balance changes are included, as well as the first look at the Tribal laws rework.
As usual, this is considered an experimental build, but do please leave feedback where appropriate.
Known Issues
- We're aware of an out of sync issue affecting multiplayer games, we recommend using this build for single-player only, until this is addressed.
- Character Interactions that target listed characters are currently non-functional, we're working on a fix.
