September 2013

• 26: The Gnawnian Express Station location opened up in Varmint Valley, along with the release of new mice (25 mice in the new Train Robbers group), a new base (Claw Shot Base), new weapons (Supply Grabber, Bandit Deflector, and Engine Doubler), new charms (Supply Schedule, Roof Rack, Door Guard, Greasy Glob, Dusty Coal, Black Powder, and Magmatic Crystal), new crafting items (Iron Pellet, Copper Bead, and Tin Scrap), new collectibles (Train Badge and Minuscule Photo Album), and new donation kits (Lucky Loot Bag, Supply Depot Train Pack, Raider River Train Pack, Daredevil Canyon Train Pack, Heavy Train Trunk, and Entire Train Car).
• 19: The population of mice in Gnawnia shifted slightly. For example, Pirate mice no longer appear in the Meadow, and Black Widow mice no longer appear in both the Meadow and the Town of Gnawnia. Flying mice and Speedy mice gained a mild taste for Brie and Gouda, and the choice of Cheese now has a more pronounced effect on which mice are likely to visit a trap. Similarly, in the Town of Gnawnia, the Longtail mouse can now be attracted using most types of cheese. That said, the Flying, Speedy and Longtail mice still seem to enjoy the magical scent of SUPER|brie+ the most. Generally, it seems that lower-grade bait attracts less powerful breeds in the Meadow and Town of Gnawnia, while higher-grade bait such as Brie, Gouda, and SUPER|brie+ attract more powerful and rewarding breeds of mice. Finally, the Mole Mouse no longer drops Ancient Relics.
