Root Patch 1.33 – To the Woodlands We Go! 

You can almost see the green under that melting snow! In this patch, we have included a number of balance updates for Challenges, bug fixes, and various polish improvements. Thank you for playing Root Digital!

Improvements

• Balance updates for Challenges, including new rules and restrictions for Hundreds’ heroic challenges.
• Marquise Wood Picker added to the Marquise building mode: The Marquise build selection prompt should now include a ‘Choose wood to spend’ toggle. When enabled, the Marquise can select which clearings to spend wood from.
• Play to your strengths! Woodland Alliance may now choose which supporters to spend by selecting them in the lower left of the game screen before a revolt or spreading sympathy.
• Gamepad: Overall improvements to gamepad usability. Added gamepad support for Retinue card picker (as well as for the two new ones above).
