Major Update 2 - Part 1 is now Live!

Dear Community,

We're excited to announce that our second major update: part 1 is now LIVE

As many of you know, we opened a beta for LoE owners and the feedback has been amazing. Thanks to you, many fixes and improvements were possible.

Version 0.5.39.05 includes the following:

Completely overhauled the construction:

When placing a building: Buildings check if they can be constructed by their shape and not by general distance from other buildings
When placing a building: Buildings cannot be built inside a mountain or close to a cliff - which removes bugs related to doors inside mountains or buildings in the air
When constructing a new building, the terrain gets flat exactly where it should, and not as a general circle around the building.
Buildings snap to the terrain by their entrance and not by their center. The front entrance is always linked to the terrain smoothly
To compensate for the new system, old saves will try to snap the buildings into a more manageable position. If you encounter any problem with old saves, please send us your save file and we will fix it.

Completely Overhauled the Weather and Sky:

Improved Some Graphics:

Included a new grass system which looks better and has touch - bending
Improved some of the terrain textures
Some objects in the game react to rain and wetness. More to come
Improved 25% of the texture and memory usage. Much more to come.
Improved Camera effects and general game atmosphere. More to come
Temporarily removed VSync. VSync will be added to the options menu in later versions

Made General Fixes and improvements:

When Pressing "New Game" and then pressing the Escape button, the game doesn't start a new game
When falling through the ground or from the edge of the world, your character will be returned to a normal position
Fixed an issue where the terrain would be flat or have flat portions

Improved AI:

Enemies try to avoid the Circle of Fire spell whenever possible
Completely rebuild the Pathfinder system; NPC goes smoother and smarter from place to place.
Improved Followers and RTS Commands:
Followers can now follow you indoors. When you enter a dungeon, 3 of your best soldiers will go in with you.
Followers won’t wander too far from you unless instructed to. When in combat, followers will disengage and return to you in a tactical way if you are too far from them.
Also, when pressing the “Follow” command during combat, soldiers will immediately disengage and retreat towards you
Soldiers react to Attack, Move and Follow commands even when in combat mode

Of course, since it's Early Access, there are some known issues:

Followers may get stuck in dungeon, they will teleport to you eventually
Sime civils still may act funny
Some bug causing some creatures to not equip weapons(rare)
Many systems were renewed or changed. Please press F8 and send us a bug report for any issue you encounter

On part 2 & 3 we will be working on further fixes, optimizations, and the implementation of some features like:

Fixing the above Known issues

Major Update part 2 will be released on March 3, 2018, so there will be many changes inside Ellaria in the upcoming weeks & months.

As always, let us know your opinion through a Steam review, by opening a steam discussion, or by chatting with us directly through our Discord Server

See you in Ellaria,
