v0.540 – Major Update

New Features

• Facilities System Added
  A new Facilities scene has been introduced, laying the foundation for future training and management mechanics.

• Crowd Interest Info Panel
  Players can now click the info button on the Crowd Interest bar to view detailed information on what influences it.

Scout System Overhaul

• The Scout button has been moved from the Training scene to the Recruit scene.

• The scouting system has been completely reworked to better reflect incremental game design principles. Expect more meaningful stat ranges and progression control.

UI Improvements

• Tooltips for core stats (Strength, Agility, Charisma) have been added to the Gladiator Detail screen.

• Additional tooltips added for HP, Energy, and Morale for greater clarity.

• Black dialogue box added behind arena commentary text for improved visibility. Placement will be refined further in a future update.

Combat Balance

• All stances have been rebalanced, with particular attention to energy flow, protection stacking, and interaction with skill scaling.

• Charisma now contributes meaningfully to combat performance.

• Strength-heavy builds have been reined in to prevent dominance through pure tanking and damage stacking.

• These adjustments are part of an ongoing balance pass based on player feedback and internal testing.
