Latest Update Brings Several Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update focused on bug fixes, balance changes, and usability improvements you guys suggested.

Changes

  • Standard melee and ranged attacks now show up as icons on the skill bar. Some people didn't realize that characters can do standard attacks ontop of skills. In particular, ranged attacks of casters were not obvious.
  • "Abort Mission/Return to Town" button while showing the mission map is now a button in the top-right corner of the UI so it is easier to find.
  • Camera can be tilted with page up/down.
  • Dwarf Priest's "Shock" now has range 6 (up from melee range).
  • Damage stats show damage vs armor level 0. Actual damage will always be lower depending on the target's armor.
  • Bigger cursors.
  • New "boot" cursor indicates that the targeted cell will result in movement.
  • Magic users show a fireball for ranged attacks (instead of an arrow).
  • Dwarf Priest's "Lightning Strike" now does AoE damage (3 radius) but no longer inflicts Cracked Armor.

    Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that made the Goblin Bandit lose its zero-in focus when saving/loading during combat.
  • Fixed the Dwarf Priest's "Bloom" skill.
  • Fixed pathfinding problem that prevented large AI characters from reaching their target.
  • Fixed Dwarf Priest's "Divine Intervention": it now heals properly.
  • Fixed Dwarf Priest's "Shared Pain": it now distributes health properly.
  • Fixed damage on "Lightning Strike" and "Chain Lightning".
  • Fixed bug with Mummy needlessly walking around.
  • Fixed a bug with AI characters acting before having finished walking.

    Balance Changes

  • Kobold's Crushing Blow does not do additional damage.
  • Goblin Warrior's "Triple Hit" skill moved to tier 3.
  • Vampire's "Triple Hit" skill moved to tier 3.
  • Ent's "Renew" no longer removes conditions.
  • Ninja cannot block due to lack of shield (she can still parry fine).
  • Fully equipped Ninja has less armor (75, down from 80). Minor tweaks to a few other stats.
  • Witch's "Ineptitude" energy cost increased (10, up from 7).
