- Added View Groups screen, available from Event screen - this will allow you to check who exactly takes part in an event
- Card Game - the game now estimates the most suitable characters for a particular challenge type for the player's hand. This should reduce the frequency of situations where having 5 adults and 5 kids in a group (or in nearby groups) would give you 5 kids and 2 adults in the challenge
- Added tooltips on passive subskills on the card game
- Added on-the-fly weight calculation when equipping items
- Coop - added OS taskbar flashing when Thea 2 is out of focus but the other player is waiting (eg. event invitation, event started, all other players end their turn, trading requested)

- Fixed current HP not updating correctly when a new item was equipped
- Fixed opening Equipment screen - now the first character is shown on paperdoll instead of a random one
- Card Game - fixed issues when estimating some subskills value based on their parent skill instead of their actual value, this should improve card value estimation for AI when resolving manually

- Destruction of Idol now also destroys the house demon
- Fixed House demon having abnormal hp regeneration
- Fixed not being able to get back characters or items taken by events if a save/quit/load was performed

- Increased damage to Health from missing Faith (from 10% at 0 Spiritual HP to 25% at 0 Spiritual HP)
- Faith regenerates 1 pt per turn on top of other possible regenerations (Spiritual Healing ritual is still the best way to fill up on the missing health as it regenerates 50% of Max HP)
- Adjusted group carry bonus from characters to 600/400/200 (up from 350/200/50) depending on difficulty
- Increased characters' personal carry limit to 25 carry for each 1 Str
- Balancing changes to all armour weights

- Monia now has unlocked tool slot

- Balancing changes to Trolls and groups including Trolls
- Illness does no longer lower personal carry, it lowers gathering and crafting instead

- True Damage (Essence) now deals 1.5x damage if the target has armour (instead of ignoring armour)
- True Damage (Ancient) now ignores armour (instead of damaging both hp and armour)
Please note, that the changes introduced would most likely require starting a new game. If you have a game in progress, we suggest you either postpone the update or roll back to the previous version, which can be found on beta branch (see FAQ: https://steamcommunity.com/app/606230/discussions/0/1744479063993671688/)
