The main feature of this update is the addition of the most powerful defiler action, Orgy, which acts as the last step above the upgraded defiler actions added in the previous update. When all three Chosen are hit by the same defiler action, they all get caught together in an attack which deals all of the damage types at once, regardless of which action was used to initiate it. The Orgy action follows the same rules about letting all the targets escape as soon as any of them do, and it doesn't break any vulnerabilities on its own, but it gets a stack of modifiers based on relationships and previously-broken vulnerabilities that makes it very strong even when it's only applied for a few turns. Orgies also have a larger number of scene and dialog variations than the other defiler actions, so I hope you all enjoy exploring them.
The other major addition is a very soft cap on the amount of trauma of each type that can be acquired in one battle. This only applies above 1 trillion damage, which means it doesn't kick in until you've already gotten enough trauma to see all the corruption content up to this point. Part of my reason for implementing this was to make it less easy to break the scoring system, but the main purpose was to test the mechanic for eventual use in the difficulty toggle system somewhere down the line.
With this update, all the basic mechanics that were originally planned for battle have been implemented. All that remain are the last two tiers of upgrades, which will involve the last tier of corruption and the final battle. There have also been some good suggestions for content toggles and quality-of-life features that I'll try to put in along the way.
