| Screenshots: |
This shot shows off the new
desert ruin tile.
This is a shot of the new
formions as well as another view of the ruin tile.
This shot is similar to the
above two. Notice the well tile in the background.
You can see a new spell
effect in this screenshot. We don't know what spell it
is for, but it sure looks cool!
Here's another nice spell
effect. This is probably a protection spell of some
kind.
