Balance Update!
We've rebalanced the final chapter of the game. The final Bellower battle has been tuned to be more fair on Normal difficulty settings, and there are more opportunities for obtaining supplies and items in Chapter 6.
Banner Saga 1 has been updated to the latest version of the engine technology, and quite a bit of cleanup has happened under the hood. A few of the improvements seen in Banner Saga 2 have been incorporated into this build.
Please join our community to discuss these changes and other topics on our Official Stoic Forums.
THANKS!
We'd like to give a special thanks to all the Beta testers that helped us prepare this update, in particular our MVPs:

Minor TBS Update
Apologies on the delay with this info but we recently had a small update for Banner Saga.
- Fixed recurring issue that sometimes caused the 'Continue' button to be unresponsive after a battle
- Added new heraldry crests
- Fixed some minor memory leaks
Nothing too crazy, but we found some memory things in TBS2 that we could easily bring back to TBS1 so we thought we should.
