[Noontide]

Darkest greetings Underlords,

It's been just 13 days since Patch 1.2 released and we're already pushing out Patch 1.2.1, with over 60 changes in this patch it almost defies the term "Minor".

Before we get into the Patch notes we'd like to thank you all for your continued support and feedback. It's only thanks to your reports and suggestions that we can continue to push out updates at this rate!

Now without further ado here are the notes you're looking for!
