European Deadzone: Polesie [v0.50] By jktulord

v0.50

Companion & Party System
A complete Companion System has been introduced, allowing you to recruit and deploy companions directly into your active party. Expanding the roster begins with Prosecutor, who is now unlocked through an all-new dedicated narrative questline.

Companions feature full progression mechanics, including unique talent trees packed with combat abilities and passive character enhancements. Skill slots can be freely customized to build specific companion builds using three distinct skill types:

• Active Skills: Immediate offensive or support actions that consume a fixed amount of Stamina upon cast.
• Auras: Toggled effects that provide continuous benefits while draining Stamina every turn.
• Passive Abilities: Constant buffs active as long as the companion is in the party.

Deploying companion abilities drains their Stamina pool. To replenish Stamina, you can either let companions rest at base or use Supply Points. Supply Points are managed via an integrated interface feature that converts spare food directly into field supplies, giving you an immediate way to restore Stamina to any companion during runs.

Unused or idling companions can be sent on timed Expeditions across various locations. After a set duration, companions will return safely to base with valuable loot tables tailored specifically to the targeted region.

The Trait System allows players to roll random modifiers onto specific companion abilities. Traits range from standard stat boosts to ultra-rare, high-impact modifiers, and can be rerolled indefinitely until you hit your desired ability synergy.

New Leadership Research Tree (can be unlocked via Main Tree):
A brand-new Leadership branch has been added to the Research Tree. Progression in this tree unlocks companion party size upgrades, improves food-to-supply point conversion rates, unlocks the Trait System, and much more.
