french loc.updates

new faction - The Shattered
new biome the Obsidian
30 minutes of new music
new events, items, objectives, boss maps, game mechanics, and steam achievements
lots of improvements, balances and fixes
.. you can read all the changes and additions in the changelog located in the steam forum.

The new Shattered event is present already in first zone, and you will encounter them quite quickly!
I don't want to spoil the story behind them, so it's up to you to discover more.
However, after fulfilling a special event, you can even unlock them as playable faction!

Please note that the DLC content has been integrated directly into base game, so you don't have to do anything to get this update! Just make sure steam is automatically updating Urtuk.
Unfortunately, with this major update, your saves won't be backwards compatible (sorry!).
The version of Urtuk with the DLC integrated is 1.0.0+81.

Hello all,

after another 2 weeks, we've pushed another regular update.
With this, we introduce new Vampire Ghoul class, which is very unique compared to all other classes in game. He can spawn a new interactive object - the boulder and bash it across whole map. Upon impact the boulder will push any unit 1 hex away, maybe to a death pit. Any class with the bash ability can utilize the boulders. This introduces quite a bit of new strategy options and we like it!

Besides this, there are many more visual updates, bugfixes, balance improvements.
Let's look at the changelog:

Werebeast elites: added extra traits
