As well as the annual Christmas event, this year I am also adding a few new items and changes to the game.
The Highwayman
This new era 6 rare drop is the first head item to have misc skill bonuses added to it. When worn it will increase the damage of your characters gunslinger weapons.
The Woodsman
The Woodsman is an era 5 rare drop that will boost the Critical Damage chance of archers. This item will stack with any critical bonuses obtained from special arrows.
The Cowboy
Era 7 was in dire need of extra headwear and the Cowboy hat is ideal. It is a rare drop that will add damage to your characters gunslinger weapons and is a direct upgrade to the Highwayman, offering more damage and a point of Status. On top of that it also drops the threat gain of the wearer, making it ideal for a healer/leader role.
Black Bess
What Highwayman would be without a new set of pistols? Black Bess is a rare drop for era 6 that rewards the character with a slight edge over the Fine Flintlock and with all rare drops it rewards larger bonuses per skill point.
DUAL WIELD
The dual wield system was not working correctly and as been fixed in this update.
The ranged damage display on your character will now show your off-hand melee weapon statistics and now works as intended.
This should allow characters to experiment with not only twin melee weapons but later on be able to place a sword in the prime melee hand and a pistol in the off-hand, as well as twin pistols.
The following changes have also been made.
- The livestock building has been given a slight boost to meat production.
- The text for the farm boosting pet has now had it's tooltip change to explain only food production building boosts. This does NOT include the livestock farm as that buildings main role is to produce hide & wool.
- The cost of buying the warrior skill from the character feat menu has been increased.
- The Tech tree for era 9 now explains that the Nuclear Power Plant produces electricity based upon the amount of Electric Grids that you have built across all Settlements. Warning: Without a full set of Electric grids, the Nuclear plant does not produce much electricity.
Happy Christmas
