Hey guys,
thank you for supporting us and giving your feedback and suggestions!
With that, we were able to improve the game.
So, for the last 2 weeks we've done quite some work, so let's summarize it in the changelog:
v.0.85.18
Infested creat. calamity - reduced the count
disabled terrain changing from calamities(volcano, moles, earthquake) for Fortress & Stronghold builders
Diff. global: AI count progress slowed down accross all diff.settings.
AI optimization (partial route disabled when normal routes found)
better(fair) upkeep wages for mercs & revenant
Refactor or RNG - now we use RandomXS128 for the pseudo-RNG generation - is better
balancing: nerfing some updradable mutators
added audio for 'barrel throwing', small gx updates
AI beh. fix (spearwall casted infinitely)
Added new trait: "Veteran" (+35% armour protection) and added it to the adv/spearman class
added spine2d 'Barrel thrower'
Spearman - spearwall is not 'toggable' ability - you can activate/deactivate it. Doesn't end turn.
increased stamina cost for normal attacks 35 -> 40
"Siege attack" quest balance - reduced ranged ratio from 0.75 -> 0.30
Angel's pact - removed the extended title(didn't work well)
small fix (focus void st.eff.)
Height bonus/penaly damage balancing: now per one level of difference apply +15% / -15% dmg. Max bonus: apx.75%, max penalty: apx. -50%.
Moles intensity reduced
OnMaxFocus -> Mansplitter bugfix: I didnt enabled the nullify focus when max focus was reached -> thus it generated extreme Focus -> even more bonus dmg..
Fortress battlefield builder now persists its rolled map.
Stronghold AI improv.
Battle in arms: progress max: 8 -> 20, reduced the assist chance slightly.
Valdor classes have now immunity against acid effects
Angel's pact - reduced charges 3->2.
balance (Light weapon), Immortal doesn't stun anymore and grants 200% HP regen over 2 turns (so effectivelly a bit less with Healing rate).
Siphon life fix (225% -> 75%)
boiling oil gx updates/additions
0.85.19
refactored Settings screen, also added more options.
changed wording "Healing rate" to "Mending" and showing the mending amount also in ext.tooltip.
Poison Immunity achie.trait now progresses if char. gets poisoned 2x within single turn (previous there was a % chance to progress)
earthquake calamity now morphs terrain at steady turn(s) instead of random rate
captured & unsealed villages now have label "Unsealed".
added new mutator: "life stone" - it's mergable with any normal mutator and upgrades its level by 3. Also added it as reward after fortress battle
added 'surviving villagers' to Stronghold builder, some damage types from environment or ability cost wont grant XP
snipe ability enabled for AI (scavenger marksman)
added delirium st.eff. icon
Rend armour st.eff. - now stacks in duration
hard diff. world level scales slightly faster
decreased boiling oil damage 20% -> 15%
added boiling oil to StrongholdBuilder (villages)
balance: siege: enabled boiling oil but as much slower grow pace, small AI improv. in siege
spike trap - reduced damage 60% -> 45%
Calamities in villages - now reduced chance to spawn 'sealed tunnels' to 60%.
oil thrower immune to panic
Angel's pact now progresses only when target received some damage (ie. not blocked/nullified)
