V0.12 continues progress on the insect god, and also has a range of internal changes to support some planned future features. A bit lighter than normal, due to the Christmas season and illness, but should lead to good stuff in the future. Also brings new Alliance changes, and hopefully some strong improvements to ruins exploration.

In detail:
Gameplay:
-Conclaves now don't fully cancel when a key figure is assassinated
-Habitabilty calculation changed to make population higher in medium-habitability areas
-You can now put minions in ruins to increase the danger
-Ruins now have an `allure' which causes heroes to explore them
-Exploration now has possibility of unique dungeons, which change the exploration formula
-Achievements now added (non-Steam only during the beta-branch)
-Rulers now hold 'festivals' if their gold is high enough (to burn off excess gold to keep the economy sane)
-Added new Item, Hood of Shadows
-Halve time needed for heroes to complete their level up challenge
-Alliance heroes start with enough XP to level up once
-New Alliance mode, which allows heroes to remove infiltration and assassinate enshadowed rulers
-Added `Giggler' minion to orc menagerie, which inflicts madness on attack
-Reduced cost of expanding orcs, from 35 to 30 per surrounding building

Other:
-You can now add notes to units and locations
-If more than 4 cities are causing political instability, the messages are compressed to avoid spam

Bugfixes:
-The Ophanim power Switft of Foot should now work properly with a go-to-location task
-Armies won't get stuck if the location it is trying to capture is destroyed
-Fixed an issue with returning to main menu from map options screen allowing you to 'continue' a non-existant save, crashing the game
-Fixed bug in Organise Dissent causing it to cancel if unrest hits 0%
-Heroes won't try to influence a Holy Order if human influence is already at maximum
