Dedicated servers are finally here! We know that it took a bit longer but we finally delivered.
With that we also bringing some tweaks, changes and fixes.
The game is also now on sale for 20 % off so what are you waiting for? :)
Check the changelog below:
[New Feature] Clients are now able to connect to our own hosted dedicated servers. This required a small patch - we've been testing them and did not want you to see them to avoid confusion.
[Optimization] Multiple server-side optimizations implemented in order to reduce CPU usage. We needed this for dedicated servers (so more fit on the same physical machine), but that also means you'll have much better performance while hosting your own game. It's still not going to run faster than the client, though. Server does more things.
[Tweak] Panzer Spearmen veterancy upgrade is now available at Technology Tier II.
[Tweak] Shield Warband veterancy upgrade health bonus decreased.
[Tweak] Slinger's Guerilla Tactics skill missile range bonus slightly increased and defence bonus slightly reduced.
[Tweak] AI should now better react to the fact that part of the enemy team has already lost.
[Bugfix] Several navigation issues fixed on "The Capital of Evil" map.
[Bugfix] Solved an issue with Anglo-Saxons blacksmith that was resisting catapult boulder hits.
[Bugfix] Since we nerfed viking Scouts, there was a chance that their charge would actually heal the target squad (the damage turned out negative).
