This is a huge update to the core gameplay of Banda’s Grove. After receiving feedback from playtesters and the community, we have simplified how to build, map, and detail the Grove. We believe this will not just simplify keeping and maintaining the map, but give more options for creation and allow players to create living maps that change and update throughout play.
