Change Logs, actually released

Just a quick update.  I know a while (see years) ago we mentioned the usage of a change log but never actually went ahead and released those logs.  They are at a very high level and more references for the developers but I figure for those of you out there interested in see the changes here is what we have addressed in the past.  In future posts the hope is that we'll always have a change log to accompany the new changes we are discussing and how they impact the game at large.  Note these are all changes in the past that have been in place for some time as the implementation dates might indicate.

4.3.0 - 1/29/2018

• Dodge Change
• Dodge no longer halves ongoing - instead it increases CR by 3 + 1/2 level.
