Hello everybody,
As we’re ramping up for the Golden Realms Expansion set to be released September 18th, we’re first going to talk about the accompanying v1.4 Patch. There’s a huge list of changes, but the stand out features of the patch are:
- A whole bunch of AI improvements and fixes, including: a more aggressive AI, trespassing updates, AI surrendering, etc.
- Updated disjunction mechanics. This also includes changes to abilities removing buffs and debuffs to make these consistent with the disjunct mechanics and more interesting overall.
- Non-Hero units can now continue levelling up beyond “Elite” and the level cap for Heroes has been raised.
- Added an option to disable observing other people’s Manual Battles, such that the units and spells of other Players are no longer revealed.
- Tactical spells balance update, making them – and especially buff and debuff spells – more viable and fun.
- An update to all Elementals, adding more variety to their strengths and weaknesses.
- Multiple balance changes – specifically to Arch Druid and Rogue units which – adding racial diversity.
- Changes Happiness and Morale to make these systems more interesting. Includes changes to Skills, Abilities and Status Effects to add more active and direct ways of influencing Morale.
- Addition of the Package Manager to facilitate user made maps. This including Steam Workshop support.
