The new and improved tactics menu for setting up group and combat behaviors is now live!
It allows for some arranged formations in and out of combat that weren’t previously possible.
You can now group similar characters together and they’ll stay near and guard one another, flank as group, and have quick getaways with the whole party.
Each of the 4 groups can be designated a head(temporarily changes to whoever you are playing as if you’re in the group) and up to 6 support characters
The characters in a group prioritize sticking together as a tighter blob, similar to how the guards move outside combat now. If you're not playing a character in a group, the support will stick to the group's head
A support head's position is based off their weapon (and behaviors from the bottom section of picture). Support will still always dodge/block if they can but try to stay close to the group head before doing actions
The bottom tray is a free-for-all bucket, characters act how they do now if left in there
Groups activate anytime combat or form ups are active, so now you could form up circle somewhere and then flank as a group instead of individually in or out of combat
Designating a form-up circle on the ground creates an area the support guards will prioritize staying in for defensive or offensive purposes. You can now designate a character to be the center of the form-up, and the support guards will stick to them.
This allows for quick getaways, or engaging a brawl similar to when you are on the boat - your guards will attempt to be a compact blob at all times and only attack when they are close enough to the enemy - more so if you’re not actively not on the move. So with some careful maneuvering as the leader, this is an effective way of avoiding fights with lots of damaging tile effects where you can more precisely control where everyone is. Using this mobile Form-Up overrides any Groups, so you can activate this at anytime to wrangle in the whole crew.
There are additions to the options you can set per-guard as well.
For item usage, you can now set:
How low can health drop before using a belt item?
How difficult will a fight need to be to take a stat-buffing item?
How low can a friend's health drop before sharing an item?
With that last option your guards can now take a turn to automatically heal their fellow guards with their belt items!
Techniques can be set for:
Charging frequency?
Kicking frequency?
Pinning frequency?
We’ve had some requests for combat options for the guards, and have added in:
How many spirit bars need to fill before casting at will?
Switch weapons at will?
Binding frequency?
Arranging these with groups in mind allow you to dictate who’s using stamina for what purposes, like who’s aggressive with techniques or who’s more focused on saving stamina for dodging, and who’s taking turns healing themselves/others, and where they will be located in a brawl.
While all these options provide more control, the party’s effectiveness will still rely on a good foundation of skills, equipment and power of friendship/techniques between the guards. This also allows for various niche skill arrangements in parties to survive, like having more utility guards that stay back or are primarily used for summoning/binding/casting.

Do shroomers feel fear? Let's find out.
Topa-din everyone!
The Technique Menu has entered the main branch.
There are passive upgrades for the party they can learn, but mainly Techniques are used situationally during brawls and dynamically change the use of the Pin, Charge, Kick and Attack buttons. This is dependent on enemy and your support guard's status and positioning. You'll see the action buttons glow when a technique is available for the party leader to use (the one you're actively playing as), or a guard do something new automatically, like if an enemy is downed and any guard is near it they'll give it a good kick. Some of these are just for support guards, some are for everyone and some are just for the party leader. So if your party is coming up short in some regard or you're struggling, there are now techniques that will help out passively and increase damage and defense output overall for your support guards. Alternatively there are more risk-focused brawling techniques like pin-spin, which if you grab an enemy while they are surrounded by allies you will spin them in a circle hitting all of them, and then launch your target toward one of them.
You start your technique unlocking by selecting three Action locations on the web for free. Your party's total XP gained is used as a currency thereafter to branch away from these initial three Actions to enhance them, gain new upgrades, learn new techniques, or upgrade those techniques.
New games will now have the decision of what Actions and Techniques they'd like to pursue first as they begin, and what might be more effective with their build composition. Existing games should have a healthy pool of XP to learn from immediately when opening up 3.8 and onward. Marshal Grigore at the Forten can reset these for you at any time (for free for now). If you happen to check it out please let us know if you find anything or have any suggestions! The costs of the technique book are balanced for the XP provided from the average playthrough of the overall game, but we'll be updating costs of these. Typically upgrades get expensive when upgrading techniques specifically, and everything else is more gradual increases.
The Rally (and Rally chain attacks) no longer have an action bar button, but are now executed by holding the key/controller button when selecting a target to attack like usual. Your ‘Attack’ button glows when this is available as an option Opening an existing game will have Rally, Pin, Charge, Kick, Revive, Form Up, and Dodge unavailable until they are learned. Dodge is now learnable to improve the existing ‘block’ action. That is to say the guards will stand still and block if you use the key or they are on their own until you learn Dodge, after which they’ll be able to hop away from danger completely if there is room available. Support guards are more effective at blocking now, but dodge will always be a better option for them as it generally avoids all damage. The tactics menu button on the bottom left part of the HUD is now repurposed for the Techniques menu. The previous tactics menu is being updated and will be integrated per-portrait for faster edits during gameplay/encounters as needed. Evasion/kiting behaviors are based on their equipped weapon at the moment, and pin frequency is reset to the baseline.
Techniques also makes songs, equipment, and intercessions that improve stamina/rally generation more potent, as most techniques require stamina or Rally to be used. You can feel a big difference if your guards are ripped on rice beer or cafera during a fight, so drink responsibly and all that.

3.0 maps includes a variety of areas surrounding the western landmass of Invimona. There are a number of updates and additions to the game highlighted in the update log at the bottom of this post.
Of note is you'll now have access to your Lazure Petal Boat and pack-boro companion. These areas feature some more unique encounters and challenges both on and off sea!
We'll be updating these new maps over the next week with some additions and fixes we have in mind but wanted to get it out there for additional players to check out. We are now primarily focusing on finishing the Rally 'War Book Abilities', which rounds off the Rally and new abilities added from 2.0. This will allow upgrading your party's brawling abilities and contextual triggers for synchronized attacks with companions. We'll have more details and showcase of this soon, but these will provide a noticeable bump to the party's power scale for the mid/late game and work within the existing systems.
As for the next maps, beyond the early access grid availability we're narrowing in on the ending content and maps. There are a few options that could work for what the 4.0 maps will be for early access, and we'll be considering how to roll those out soon. Our primary goal at the moment is completing the quest connections to finish the game, and then we'll work in the ordering of the remaining mid-game maps for testing.
We have some patches underway that are going to be rolling out over the weekend/next week, but please let us know if you get a chance to check things out! If not we'll have an in-depth showcase of all this next week.
Thanks again everyone for all the support during early access. Banquet for Fools is becoming quite sizable at this point for just the two of us and with your help it's become a lot easier, more enjoyable and has allowed us to stay on schedule. Thank you for being a part of this, and for all the suggestions - I know we can have peculiar taste in some of these designs and we appreciate everyone who's given suggestions in-line with them.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Some things to note:
🎄 The Vol Tree in the area provides some new summon spells of hostile creatures. These can be used for your advantage with synchronizing with enemy factions that would be hostile to them or a binding skill of one of your characters (each binding school of creature will attack the other, and Volling will attack all of them). These summons cannot be knocked out, and they’ll only be cast if you manually cast them.
🏋️ Weighing your guards’ movement speed has been adjusted to allow slighter faster travel outside combat. Details of this reflected in the expanded stats in the character sheet. This was so you could move a bit faster outside of combat (still the average of the four guards) and in combat you’ll probably slow down per individual’s speed stat. Encumbrance is weighed more heavily here compared to the stats before.
🚪 Door exits now display as an icon. This is easier to click with various HUD arrangements that may have been covering edges of the screen. Even in the perspective shots Exits are on the main sides of the screen (left/right/top/bottom), so when I play I usually put the HUD elements in corners, but your mileage may vary depending on your arrangement.
The next couple weeks we're primarily working on some additional fixes for 2.0 and putting the finishing touches on the sailing maps for 3.0, scheduled for later this month.
Thanks everyone. Have a nice weekend
