Update 0.9.2: Factions missions, S.O.N.G. adjustments, QoL improvements and... bugs fixing extravaganza!

In this update, players have now access to the second Humanobots and Supremachine factions missions!

We also had to do some adjustments, balancing and fixes after the implementation of the S.O.N.G. and decided to do the same for the Z.E.R.K.E.R.

In addition, the update provides a change on how Bonuses and Penalties are affecting fighters' attributes, some QoL improvements and a lot of bugs fixing.

Have fun!

Features

• New Humanobots and Supremachine factions missions available!

Improvements

• Bonuses and Penalties are now increasing or decreasing the attributes of fighters based on the total value instead of being multiplicative between each other (total value is taking in count the base attributes of a fighter plus the attributes from equipped items, attributes increase from Mythic items effect and attributes increase from talents). For example, a fighter having 500 Power and being affected by Enhanced power, 2 stacks of Conversion and 2 stacks of Growing discharge will now end up with 500 * (1 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1) = 725 Power compared to 500 * 1.25 * 1.1 * 1.1 = 756 before.
• Power gained from personality bonuses has been increased from 5% to 50%. Please note that personality bonuses are only increasing the base attributes of fighters (without equipment, Mythic items effect nor talents).
• New sound for Game over.
• New sounds for enemies skills that were still missing some.
• New sound when a fighter’s Overload is increased or reduced.
• Sounds adjusted for several robots’ and enemies’ skills.

• Variety of enemies in missions has been improved.
• Succeeding or failing an Action on inspectable elements with one choice now has a small chance to display a dialog on a random robot.
