- Patch 1.5 - Mummy's Home
- Say your prayers, because Mildread III has risen.
- You’ve faced her across the despatch box, tangled with her zealous followers and cursed her name as she does the same to your cards…But now it’s time for YOU to step into her soiled bandages and lead Mummies For Justice.
- That’s right, it’s a new playable character! You asked for it, and like any good, modern leader we pointedly ignored your eminently reasonable requests. Until now!
- Mildread plays quite differently from the existing three leaders. Rather than focusing on controlling her opponents, she relies on converting her own MPs into dedicated devotees and outright zealots, then channeling their enthusiasm into improving her own abilities.
- So what are you still reading this for? Mildread III is already whipping herself up into a fervour of deeply worrying political enthusiasm - so you should be getting in there! What sort of devotion are you even offering her if it’s not blind, unquestioning and immediate?
- I suppose you want to know what else you’ll get for signing up to this new cult exciting political movement.
- Well, as a matter of fact, there ARE some perks…
- HIRING SPREE (one of the better kinds of spree)
- As it turns out (and contrary to all stereotypes about political enthusiasts), Mildread is bringing friends!
- Taking part in the march of the Mummies are FOUR new Staff Members, exclusive to Mildread. Have a gander at this fun bunch:
- However, we felt it wasn’t fair for Mummies to get all these without giving the other leaders some party-exclusive new Staff Members too. So for you Suckers, Choppers and Rotters you can now also hire these marvellous monsters:
- I can’t imagine any of those guys will end up getting you in a load of trouble and having to be fired in disgrace!
- ITEM SPREE (I don’t think this is a common term)
- Did somebody say “party-exclusive Items as well� Probably not, because it’s a really weird thing to say. But regardless, we’ve added them! All of these, in fact:
- Now I know you’re probably most excited about getting “Folder†(how many games would give you that?) - but do try and at least look at some of the others because they’re not bad!
- MILDREAD ACHIEVEMENTS
- Have YOU recently been elected as leader for Mummies For Justice, and it wasn’t your fault? Don’t panic! If you’re unsure how to begin making your mark on the Fractured Kingdom’s political scene, we’ve helpfully included a number of fun, new Achievements you might want to aim for.
- DO YOU HAVE ANY LISTS?
- That’s a great and actually very useful question for you to ask, because it leads me perfectly onto the final part of this post.
- We do indeed have another big list of all the latest bug fixes and balance changes, at the bottom of this post. Some might say that is even more exciting than an entirely new playable character! Probably not many, though.
- WRAP UP
- Well done for making it this far. We really hope you enjoy the new character, and if you haven’t already then do please come and join the Discord. We may not be the most talkative of studios, but we read every word that gets written there and appreciate everyone who takes the time to do so.
- And as always, thanks for playing!
