=== New: Endless Mode ===
 
To start Endless Mode, just play the game as normal and you’ll get the option to switch to Endless Mode at the end of the Campaign:
 
* Start or continue either a Campaign or Director Mode game
 
* Finish your Campaign or Director Mode run by completing the final expedition
 
* After the credits, you’ll be taken to the Hall of Fame
 
* There you will see a new button: “Continue in Endless Mode”. Just click that to get started!
 
Endless mode works just like the regular game, except it never ends! There are a few tweaks though:
 
* The game is still split up into “Years”, each with 4 expeditions that you must complete to progress to the next year.
 
* The game will continue playing with the Difficulty and Death Consequence option from your original campaign.
 
* You can see your Endless “Year” in Paris, marked with the ∞ symbol.
 
* Expeditions are randomly generated as normal. You will get a selection of both expedition types and biomes, like in the campaign mode.
 
* Expeditions are generated according to a “Difficulty Rating”. The higher the rating, the harder the expeditions!
 
** Each year this rating will increase by 1.
 
** The rating when you start Endless Mode will depend on the difficulty of the campaign or Director Mode run you just completed. If you played on easy, you’ll start at a lower rating than if you played on hard. It’ll be approximately the same difficulty as the final year of the previous campaign.
 
** The maximum rating is 70. Once you hit that, you can still keep playing of course, but expeditions will no longer get harder each year.
 
* If you were playing Director Mode, the game will still be Director Mode and include the Director Modifiers and run-specific club unlock system.
 
* Please note that your final Endless Mode score won’t be added to the Hall of Fame. Only the score at the end of the Campaign Mode or Director Mode will be added. If you wish to keep a record of your final Endless Mode score, please make sure to take a screenshot!

# 1.1.6 (June 2 2021)
 
  * Rebalanced the Jellyfish's combat combos
 
    * The Jellyfish's emphasis on Burning means that it had a way higher potential damage output than we intended, especially when using multiple of them. We reduced the impact of boosting on its burn effects, but gave "Massive Electroshock" a chance to stun instead. That way it should remain a strong attack option, but without the same potential for stacking to unintended heights.

  * You can no longer be surprise-attacked when returning to the map after some days have passed during an event
 
  * The items for Unpredictable Conditions are no longer sellable (so they won't clutter the barter screen). They will also no longer ever have their price reduced in the ship shop before expeditions.
 
  * Keys for the Sealed Pyramid can no longer be dropped. This prevents a number of ways in which it was possible to lose keys that were required to complete the expedition
 
  * Recently recruited characters don't lose loyalty when you dismiss another character
 
  * Improved performance on the map, in particular when revealing tiles
 
  * Improved status clean-up after finishing a island
 
  * Added new elephant attack animation
 
  * Fixed treasure maps sometimes showing the wrong tile for treasure (again, hopefully)
