Thea 2: The Shattering is a follow-up to the successful Thea: The Awakening, which brings the idea of innovative genre hybrid, with elements of turn-based, 4X strategy, survival, RPG and a card game, to entirely new and thoroughly polished level.


The player takes on a role of a deity from the Slavic mythology-inspired pantheon and as such, controls the fate of a small flock of believers struggling for survival. This goal can be achieved in many ways, from diplomacy to war, from exploring to conquering, but any playstyle will surely lead to completely unique adventures thanks to the procedurally generated environments. Rich options, from crafting to town-building system, as well as the co-op multiplayer gameplay, make Thea 2 an ideal choice for tactically minded players, who are up for a challenge.

Key features:

• Explore rich, procedurally generated and diverse new environments and biomes.
  
• Expand your influence in the world, build towns, widen your territories or choose the much tougher path of a nomad.
  
• Exterminate your way to victory, battle through the vast array of creatures or simply strive to survive till sunrise.
  
• Exploit the many wonders of the land - discover and combine resources, collect materials and craft them into your equipment.
  
• Become a deity of Thea and direct your Chosen to victory in a world inspired by Slavic myth and folklore.
  
• Play together - co-op mode for up to 3 players allows you to build your pantheon with friends.
  
• Choose your playstyle - become a warlord or a diplomat, or simply remain an outsider wandering the world in search of glory.
  
• Survive any way you can and choose your challenge style as you resolve conflicts via battle, mental or spiritual challenges.
  
• Free DLCs, built-in adventures editor and other modding tools.

0598 Pangea:

• Today's update introduces one of the most requested changes - a more varied, compact landmass.
• The world in Pangea consists mostly of large, multi-biome continents. Islands may also exist, but they will be much closer to other lands and will not be restricted to a single biome. Creatures can sometimes wander beyond their natural habitats, so be careful and not venture too far unprepared.

• Fixed Volh Dlc event 31, adv node 52 (added wraith pet as a reward as it was missing),
• Fixed Alphaclan, event 56 adv node 43, where there was a potential loop after hitting cancel. Adventure node 66 was added,(clone of 45) to resolve this.

• Fixed Earthbound event 83 adv node13, removed the 'node usable once' tick,
• Fixed Volh DLC event 36, replaced all span nodes in the event, as it was causing an odd group spawn and that then caused errors.

Balancing:

  • Gray Robes now provide multi-type shields,
  • Added MP bonus to Elemental Robes,
  • Legendary Robes now give Wits,
