Ingenium V1.3 Release!

Hey all!

It's been a long time, but the Panoptica Team is ready to share with you all some projects we've been working incredibly hard on for quite a while - about 6 months, in fact...

First up; **Liber Panoptica** now has its 4th version! This is a massive overhaul of LP, and includes some massive changes. In no particular order, these are:

> - Mission Packs for Standard missions, Apocalypse missions, and Zone Mortalis (which are fully compatible with the new ZM rules in Siege of Cthonia)!

> - Full updates to the Decurion and Centurion Game Modes, including a plethora of new content for missions, reactions, and more!

> - A fully-fledged Crusade System, built from the ground up (and inspired by both the Narrative Play Features from earlier editions of 40k, and 9th Edition's Crusade)

> - A complete revamp of the LP FAQs, Erratas, and Balance Changes

> - A reworked Allies Matrix, to allow future expansions to the game to function properly!

> - A Panoptica Weapons Section - no more fishing through 2 documents to figure out how our changes to a weapon interact!

> - Extrinsica Melee Weapons are now available to everyone!

This has taken the ***Liber Panoptica to a staggering 158 pages***. Yes, we know. ***Wow***.

As a result, we've taken an effort to make the LP even easier to use; for the first time, we've made some cut-down versions of the LP which are faction-specific, meaning you can simply grab the right one for the faction you play and go. These have an average length of 25 pages (including covers), and give you everything you'll need to play using the Panoptica.

These versions are as follows:

> - **Astartes / LA** - Contains Allies Matrix, Core Rules, Siege of Cthonia, Liber Astartes & Hereticus Common Changes, Liber Astartes, Legacies, Exemplary Battles, and Special Rules, Weapons, and Extrinsica.

> - **Hereticus / LH** - Contains Allies Matrix, Core Rules, Siege of Cthonia, Liber Astartes & Hereticus Common Changes, Liber Hereticus, Ka'bandha, Legacies, Exemplary Battles, and Special Rules, Weapons, and Extrinsica.

> - **Mechanicum / LM** - Contains Allies Matrix, Core Rules, Siege of Cthonia, Liber Mechanicum, Legacies: Mech, and Special Rules, Weapons, and Extrinsica.

> - **Imperium / LI** - Contains Allies Matrix, Core Rules, Siege of Cthonia, Liber Imperium, Legacies: Solar Auxilia, Legacies: Militia, and Special Rules, Weapons, and Extrinsica.

This new, improved version of the **Liber Panoptica** also has a few hints as to the shape our Eldar project - which I can reveal will be called **Liber Antiquia** - will be taking - and this is due to release soon. 

Finally, both the **Liber Centura** and **Liber Ingenium** have seen a rework, taking onboard all the feedback from the community we have receieved in the last few months. These changes are not ground-breaking, but there are plenty of small tweaks made, to refine our work. Both books will also be getting full-feature updates later in the year!

I also need to make an apology from the team; due to the scale of these updates (and a blunder on my part), we don't have full patch notes for this release (I forgot to save, oops) - so we recommend re-reading any content you're interested in to ensure you can see the changes. Be assured - there will be some that affect you!

We also need to clarify that at present, we have not yet added promotion trees for any faction other than Astartes to our Crusade system, nor have we added any Imperium Centurion content; these are coming in a future update, and for now we recommend making "sporting agreements" with people when you play. Let us know what you try, too - it'll all help!

Finally, I'd like to say a massive ***THANK YOU!*** to all of the Panoptica Team who poured their hearts and their efforts into writing this content - as well as our amazing playtester team, without whom this would not have been possible.
