Hello! We have a bunch of tweaks and bug fixes today.
Tamed Monsters
In the last update, some game-breaking issues occur when monsters are recruited by a Major Faction. This was because their wild monster behavior still applies and causes unintended conflicts. We've had to create new "tamed" versions of the monsters that would make them compatible residents amongst Elves and Humans.
Most monsters can patrol and defend the Village. A handful still retain some elements of their wild abilities. For example, Giant Spiders may still abduct - but should now properly exclude members of its new faction.
Tweaks
- Ratmen are now less likely to give birth and abduct.
- Ratmen can now butcher some prisoners.
- Ratmen will now only abduct characters that they can enslave for manual labor or characters they can butcher for food.
- Ratmen will use Recruit instead of Torture to attempt to convert a prisoner if its race is Ratman.
- Members of the Ratmen Faction will no longer attack Plagued Rats.
- Zombies are no longer affected by Plague symptoms and fatalities.
- Walker and Night Zombies have new sprites and portraits.
- Major Factions are much less likely to have Wild Monsters become their Faction Leader or Settlement Ruler.
