⚔️ New Prestige Traits
When a unit reaches max prestige it picks a trait to carry for the rest of the run. Ranged and artillery units had noticeably fewer meaningful choices than melee units did, so there are now five new traits built specifically for them. All new traits can be added via mods as well.
Shot Discipline - Reloads 20% faster between shots. (Ranged and artillery)
Overdraw - Increases attack range by 15%. (Ranged and artillery)
Steady Aim - No accuracy penalty while in Rapid Firing Mode. (Ranged only)
Demolisher - Explosions deal 30% more damage in a 30% larger radius. (Artillery only)
Powder Reserves - Carries 50% more ammunition. (Artillery only)
Deep Quivers — Carries 500 more ammunition. (Ranged only)
📈 New Analytics
I have reworked analytics for game tracking to improve balance in the game based on raw data as opposed to currently just going off feedback and vibes. Data is fully anonymized and cant be tied back to individual players, not even by me. Current feedback has been that the difficulty drops off after Act I, and the data reflects that.
Here’s a little graph from yesterday showing which turns result in the biggest L’s. The boss battles are pretty easy to infer the turn number from. You can expect some slightly more difficult battles on the second and third boards in the future.
And here’s another little graph showing win/loss based on difficulty.
🪲 Bug Fixes
Fixed Third Reserve slot sometimes containing an invisible unit
Fixed camera freaking out when you would look straight down
Fixed workshop mods not being removed when unsubscribed to them on steam
Fixed some errors caused by the new battle unloading system, didn't break anything but were junking up the logs
Fixed Fateshine Elixir to now stick with you until you actually use it (used to get canceled out when going into battle or main menu), whether that's an event, a gamble at the tables, or your battle initiative roll.
Fix for garrisons losing a unit when playing as Gruntkin on act 1
Fixed unstoppable not working for certain units
Fixed Forgewrath Hammerers not prestiging twice if you got +100 kills in a battle with them
You can now mouse over gear to see it’s tooltip when choosing a max prestige trait
