Greetings Wielders!
Another update is here and our journey to improve our campaigns before we head into full release continues! This time our frog-lens focus has turned to the Swamps of Rana, giving them all the love they deserve!
But fret not, our focus wasn't solely on our beloved amphibious companions. Rana Revisited boasts a plethora of enhancements, including the AI's adoption of new spell tactics, optimizations in battle mechanics, and fresh approaches to handling sieges. In summary, we're positively brimming with excitement over this latest patch!
Rasc is happy to see you, despite you being a human.
All four Campaign missions of our second Song, "From the Ashes," have undergone extensive improvements to both gameplay and aesthetics, ensuring that this swamp-filled action-drama lives up to our new Campaign standard.
We've infused each mission with additional effects, enriched the storyline, and fine-tuned the overall balance to deliver a more immersive and captivating experience.
The new effects really do make a shocking impact!
Curious about those new spell tactics? Well, the AI is evolving, and in this update, we've focused on refining the use of Chaos Step and Swap spells. These handy spells prove invaluable when the AI endeavors to breach your staunchly defended walls during siege battles. It's quite the spectacle to witness its strategic growth, and needless to say, we couldn't be prouder of its development.
The stalwart defenders aren’t very happy about these new tactics.
And let's talk about sieges! We've introduced some exciting new enhancements to how the game handles these epic battles. In the past, you needed a Wielder positioned within the settlement to command the walls. But now, the mightiest Wielder standing within the walls will take charge of the defense, adding a touch of realism and making planning the defense just a tad bit easier.
This Arleon Fortress is ready for any attacker, Their Wielder stands ready to defend!
In our ongoing quest to enhance your experience, we've diligently hunted down some of those pesky bugs. For instance, we've ensured that Random Events once again make their appearance in multiplayer games as intended. Additionally, we've resolved an irritating issue that previously disabled credits for our beloved community-created campaigns, it’s only fair!
But that's not all! We've also introduced the flexibility for you to embark on our campaigns in any order you desire. Gone are the days of being bound to a predetermined sequence. Whether your heart yearns to begin with the undead-themed Barony of Loth or delve straight into the heart of Arleon's adventures, the choice is entirely yours. After all, who are we to stand in the way of your preferred journey through the world of Aerbor?
Feel free to tackle them in any order you want, it’s your story after all!
In summary, Rana Revisited offers something for every player, whether you're seeking a more immersive siege experience or intrigued by the enigmatic uprising of frog-like creatures. We're eagerly anticipating your feedback on this latest enhancement to Songs of Conquest!
So, prepare to immerse yourself in the depths of the swamps, uncover long-forgotten secrets, thwart the AI's cunning siege tactics, and challenge both AI opponents and your friends. The adventure is yours for the taking!
Turn to Conquest Wielder, you’ve earned it.
