Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.2.0 aka "The Exercise of Vital Powers"
« on: June 03, 2014, 01:48:37 PM »
My minions, I am happy and pround to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.2.0 ! See http://te4.org/
Your launcher should automatically update your game so no need to redownload it all.
If your launcher didn't self-update correctly, just redownload it from the homepage and overwrite it.

Enjoy and have fun in Eyal!

Don't forget to help ToME by with donations ( http://te4.org/donate ) !
