In this update

Three new beasts

They take the place of the three look-alike dragons. Each has its own body, its own moves and its own sounds, and its name in every language.

Lycaon, the wolf king. A frost wolf with a crown of ice and ice down his back.

The Teumessian Fox. A lean red fox with green eyes and a venom-green tail.

Talos, the bronze giant. A crested helmet, glowing eyes and a bronze sword.

Three monsters remade

The Gorgon no longer carries a bow. Her gaze is her attack and her snakes bite: unblocked, it turns your hero to stone; blocked, it breaks on your shield. She has green eyes, bronze armour, two new taunts and her own sounds.

She dies as stone and breaks apart.

The Minotaur charges with his horns, falls to his knees when he dies, shakes his horns to taunt you and has his own sounds.

The Cyclops smashes his club into the ground with dust and a shake, shakes his club to taunt you and has his own sounds.

Faster on laptops

• Faster on laptops with built-in graphics. The open sea round the island is drawn without shadows. Its only shadow was a ragged dark edge along the coast.
• Low graphics: the interface is drawn without edge smoothing, and the map is drawn at half size from the start. Together about 2 to 3 ms faster a frame on a laptop.
• The first start after an update shows the loading card while the fights get ready, instead of a frozen logo. It no longer waits 4 seconds for nothing.
