Greetings, Settlers!

Thank you for the feedback and support — it really means a lot to us! You will find a number of fixes and improvements based on your comments in this update. Please see below for the full list of changes.

⚙️ Gameplay Fixes

• Endless Mode Added – You can now continue playing on the same location after defeating its boss.

• The settlement warriors' "Hold Position" mode has been fixed: when enabled, they will now stand their ground and only engage within their attack radius, without pursuing enemies;
  
• Monsters will now return to their lairs if they lose their target or are no longer aggressive, but may attack new targets on their way back;
