After 3 months of hard work, new patch! Please ignore the hollowed void eyes of our programmers, and the blood-runes on hands of our artists, everyone is fine! At Can Can Can a Man we make sure they get the best most balanced diet of Brains, Energy drinks, and Instant noodles!
Some changes didn't make it this patch, and will be implemented in the next few weeks. Apart from that we are going to be announcing some new projects soon! More info about the future of GGAG coming next week!

Balance changes:
- Adjusted the tile size of all Conquest missions' regions.
- Removed Angel’s Meadow from the regular mission pool. This mission will now only spawn once.
- Adjusted the Conquest mode map-generation algorithm to mildly prioritize building bunched-up regions.
- Increased Fountain’s area of effect (10m radius > 16m radius).
- Increased the speed of some units (Spearman, Gobbo).
- Increased the health of some units (Spearman, Fox Musketeer).
- Decreased the speed of some units (Shieldman).
- Increased the poise of most hero units.
- Decreased cooldown of Healer’s main healing spell (20s > 10s).
- Readded spells to Healer’s level-up spell-book (Heal Burst, Healing Aura).
- Increased the poise damage of “heavy” units (Mooladin, Heretic Mooladin, Shieldman).
- Decreased the poise damage of “ranged” units (Lightbringer, Beast Archeress, Moth Mage, Angel Gobbo)
- Improved rewards for some expeditions, particularly at high levels.
- Gold now scales with a dungeon quest’s level - each creature gets 250 gold at minimum on finishing an expedition, 2500 at max level.
- Quest for the Forbidden Lotus (Forest expedition): Now applies a permanent 10/s health regeneration effect to all participating units.
- Rescue Mission (Torture Chambers expedition): Now rescues a Heretic Mooladin from the dungeon
- Decreased health of enemies and added a ‘respite’ room to the middle of the Torture Chambers expedition. This room grants a positive effect (randomly restoring health / morale or granting gold).
- Added the dynamic difficulty system, adjusting the game difficulty a little based on how well the player is doing.
- Limited amount of gold Godbeast can take between conquest missions.
- Reduced the chance for units exploring the dungeon to gain the immortal title to 0.1% per encounter.
- Changed dodge and crit chance buff from camera bonus from multiplicative to flat. It will now provide them with up to 15% dodge and crit chance, which should help low-level creatures more and prevent the high-level creatures from reaching 100% dodge rate.
Bugfixes:
- Prevent creatures from teleporting in and out of the colosseum.
- Fixed targeting of the Raise Revenant spell.
- Fixed Lightning Storm spell always dealing 100 damage.
