Another big step in the right direction today. With 1.17 D we`ve concentrated our efforts on eradicating the last CTDs for good, and made first steps towards fixing various issues causing lag and low performance. In addition you`ll notice that AI is getting smarter daily - learning new tricks like building wall mounted defenses, and more. Some work also went into Chapter 1 and 2, making defeat and switching chapters more user friendly. And by popular demand - Chapter 2 is much easier now.
We`ll continue with another patch tomorrow - addressing other sources of lag - like attacking enemy keep, or ordering multiple building construction. We are also hoping to fix annoying pathfindign issues with some units bundling up and getting stuck near walls and gatehouses.
