Hello everyone. It's been a while since the last update, and that one was complicated. It was like a real spider web in the code.
Global
- Holy no longer provides attack bonuses to AI units, but mana regeneration instead.
- Invocations and enemy pieces stat with 0 holy.
- Invocations' HP rebalanced: they start with less but the queen effect is more efficient.
- With these changes, multiple spells have been adjusted. Generally, those that used to remove holy now add it instead.
Spells
- Hati removed from the game (again?).
- Eternal return removed from the game.
- Voodoo doll return removed from the game (I really liked the mind control mechanic, but it was causing too many issues).
- New spell: clone factory.
- Water elemental: nerfed (I'm not done with it yet).
- Air hydra is clever
- Fire obelisk: knight effect applies fire instead of damage (it was too strong and synergizes better with the obelisk).
- Earth pillar: rook effect reworked (stronger now).
- Zombie is completly reworked.
- Lightning pillar: attack speed nerfed.
- Sacred nova: pawn effect added.
- Lay on hand: completly reworked.
- Regeneration: knight effect locked (too strong).
- Sacred word: heavy reworked.
Levels
- Destroyed machie: big reblance (this event had been "broken" for a while, but I managed to do some very nice things with it).
- French castle: better balance.
- Appocalypse knights: better balance.
- Jungle (hard): no more leaves.
- Cemetery: better gold repartition. Enemy pieces are now queens and kings (instead of pawns and queens), grave stones are rooks. This is only for a better visibility.
- Conclave: water fixed on kings.
Overall, Acts 1 and 2 don't change too much. Act 3 deals much less damage, but the global normalization of health points compensates a bit. I think it's still simpler now.
I think I have all the pieces of the puzzle to focus on the level difficulty. I've had a lot of ideas itching at me during this update. They're noted down. We're going to suffer.
Fixes
- Lightning bolt pierce fixed.
- Fortification: king effect fixed.
- Sound of the poison explosion fixed.
