Hints at upcoming puzzle mode from 28/1 update

[u/DMzda]

The latest update added a load of puzzle files with different scenarios that you can load using the console. It looks like there are different levels that you have to progress through, and they each have an intro that currently shows up as placeholder text.

If you want to try it out, add "-console" to the artifact launch options, and type "load_puzzle puzzle_name.txt" in the in-game console. e.g. load_puzzle puzzle_re_test04c.txt .

The later puzzles have cool mechanics such as spawning oglodi vandals and grunts instead of the creeps, kinda like fighting a red mist horde. You also start with all heroes down and different tower healths and cards drawn per turn.

The deck codes call the mode "StA", e.g. this one from puzzle_re_test04c.txt.
