Patch 2.30.120 (24 June 2016)Survival Mode

A new gameplay mode that is all about staying alive through as many battles as possible! Choose six heroes from most of the 40+ Banner Saga characters, then pit them against dredge, horseborn, bandits, and varl alike. Earn Renown and an item with each victory, unlock heroes to replace those who fall in battle, and upgrade the veterans who stay alive. To play, simply click on the Survival Mode banner on the start screen of Banner Saga 2.
Survival Details:

Choose 6 heroes from a full roster. After you begin, you can recruit more heroes with renown.

Your progress is saved, but you can only reload a battle a limited number of times. You have 3 reloads to start with and you gain 1 more reload ever 5 battles.

Heroes who fall in battle are dead and can be given a Viking Funeral to regain some renown and recruit new heroes.

Heroes have no kill count requirement for promotion. If you have the renown, you can promote the hero.

Battles have a 30 second turn timer (and 60 second deployment timer) to keep the action moving quickly.

Battle turn order is fixed from the start, like pillage mode.

One enemy per battle spawns with an item equipped. Kill the enemy, and gain the item!

Every 5 battles offers the opportunity for a second wave of fighting, which opens up the possibility for additional renown and items.
Other Changes in Build 2.30.120:

Fix issue preventing '+x Renown' banners in battle from displaying the correct renown for higher ranked enemies

Fixed seam in baldrungr's godstone background sprites

Fix reversed red/green coloration on DRAWING AGGRO items description

Added 'Consequences' section on Match Resolution that displays Injuries (or Deaths, in Survival)
Update (31 May 2016)

The Banner Saga 2's soundtrack is now available in FLAC format.
Patch 2.28.85 (2 May 2016)

Trample Ability: Trample with Knockback item was causing the knockback to occur with the runthrough damage, before the final hit lands on the target. The knockback effect now applies only with the final hit of Trample.

Fixed an issue causing Aleo to leave the roster in Lundar and never return, under certain story conditions. He now reliably returns to the roster after his mission.

Training Challenge: The challenge vs. Bolverk now spawns the correct number of Bolverk's allies. Higher ranked Bolverk was causing fewer of his allies to spawn. Bolverk is now clamped to rank 5 during this training challenge.

Soul Bond: Fixed a typo that incorrectly indicated that Soul Bond drained STR. The attack correctly drains WIL and the description has been corrected to reflect this.

Bear Rage: Bolverk's Bear Rage should no longer trigger the Dredge Shudder effect when activated next to a buffed Dredge.

Fighter Training: Fixed an issue allowing Iver to train more clansmen than are available, after the Oldwood.

General: Corrected a few typographical errors.

Optimization: Reduced memory footprint of Sigbjorn's portrait animation.

Items: Omit several starting items from the marketplace. These items are obtained in Saga1, or awarded to new players in Saga2. These items include: Horseskor, Tortoise Band, Valka Thread, and Lightning Runestone.

Tryggvi: The first conversation with Tryggvi after Aleo's village was incorrect if he had been imported from Saga1. The content of this conversation now correctly reflects your past relationship with him.

Einartoft Bridge: Hakon was making a reference to your destruction of the Einartoft Bridge, even if you had not destroyed it. This is fixed.

Knockback: Some knockback effects were causing Barbed Stones and Troll Stones to get moved, although their visual display remained in the same location. This has been fixed.

Horseborn: Fixed issue causing Horseborn first ability maximum rank to appear to reset to 1 when leveling to rank 6, then increase again while leveling through 10.

Alette Mend: Alette's starting rank on Mend was not showing as expected when starting chapter 14 at high levels.

Startup: The startup time of the game on Windows has been dramatically improved

Skulkers: Invisible Skulkers were incorrectly targetable using the gamepad, or by clicking on the initiative bar. This has been fixed.

Umbrage: Fixed an issue that was causing Umbrage to incorrectly trigger Shudder when activated.

Injuries: Fixed an issue that was preventing injuries from applying to fallen heroes during battle. This was caused by the injury-prevention feature of Training (Sparring and Challenges) fro leaking over into regular battles.

Bear Rage: Fixed: Bolverk's Bear Rage was incorrectly indicating allies as targets, even though allies are unaffected.

Bear Rage: Fixed: Counter attack appears to trigger from Bear's Rage when being attacked by an archer, causing the frenzy counter attack to attack a melee opponent.

Bear Rage: Fixed: Using Bear Rage can cause enemies to move to an area unreachable by your characters.
