My minions, I am happy and proud to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.6.6 ! See https://te4.org/

This release is rather big, with quite some focus on reducing the felt "godmode" of the AI and some corner-cases of scalings.

My minions,

I know some of you were frustrated that the cosmetics packs can only be gotta from the ingame UI, as either you can't access it or the ingame browser is not working well for you or whatever.
Well, to ease your agony, they are now available right here!

Have fun!
