Weekly update notes

Feature Updates

  • Map Editor now included, though at this point is not yet usable. Currently can only create a new map, and switch tools. This feature will come together over the next several weeks.
  • Key binds added. Currently the following new keyboard shortcuts are now available:
    • Scroll map: Arrow Keys
    • Zoom in/out on map: Page Up and Page Down
    • Show Game Menu: Escape
    • Show Leader Power popup: TAB
    • Undo: Backspace or left square bracket
    • Submit Turn: Enter/Return or right square bracket

Balance Changes

  • Alera's Range Reduction power and the Archdruid's Storm Call powers swapped (Empire already has a way to reduce enemy range via Seraph and Fae already had way to reduce enemy move via Druids, so swap brings each more options)
  • Etheral trait no longer halves damage from combo points
  • Treants are now Academy units, and Unicorns are now Castle units

Bug Fixes

  • Prince's Move Out power now works as per description, only refreshing units on buildings which can actually produce them
  • Fixed Prince's passive description to properly reflect his ability to reduce unit costs
  • Deathknight affected by Necromancer power no longer kills target on overrun

Misc

  • Leader powers and costs now saved as part of game data itself, such that future changes to leader powers will not affect in progress online games or games loaded from saved game file. This will only affect future changes however, and the changes in this patch will take effect in such current games.
