Campaign army balance patch

Campaign army balancing overview

Certain units are now more effective against other units. Broadly speaking

• Archers beat unshielded units, and especially mages, if engaged at range. You will still need to direct the archers to fire at the mages in commander mode.
• Shielded units beat archers of the same level
• Mages beat melee units of the same level
• Skirmisher type units (goblins) beat melee units of the same level but have low health so die easily if caught
• Two handed / high damage units beat units that ressurect or summon other units
• Undead beat non-undead of the same type, however undead cannot be saved through leadership

Specific fixes

1. Increase goblin damage to be in-line with other units, especially when punching or kicking. Goblins are more likely to dodge as a defensive tactic.
2. Summoners summon and attack less often, and have a large cooldown between summons
3. Fix units that can wield multiple weapons using weapon ranges for the weapon they don't currently have equipped
4. Higher level crossbow shots now do the correct amount of damage
5. Fix suit of armor giving a lot of gold instead of 1 steel
6. Increase gold cost to directly buy units vs upgrading them. This is to address leadership seeming to still not be useful enough.
7. Villages now produce population more slowly. This is to address leadership seeming to still not be useful enough.
8. Partially fix minotaur attacks, although I may have to redo the minotaur in the future because the attack animation set doesn't work well for the game.
9. Increase cooldown on necromancer summon so it is possible for high damage units to overwhelm the necromancer
10. Fix health values for enemy shields
11. Fix AI units not being able to dodge each other's ranged attacks
12. Balance enemy female wizard. She can stun knock down units, but is vulnerable to attack from other directions
13. Fix suit of armor unit equipping wrong shield type
14. Balance damage, range, accuracy, rate of fire for archer units to normally beat mage units at long range
15. Tweak damage, health, stamina and mana drain of male wizard
16. Zombies now leave rot clouds when they die, slowing all units in the area
17. Improve audio for various units
18. Meynolt: Fix commander mode crash
19. Orgasinator: Fix randomly generated terrain unit unlock quests not available if you had ever played a randomly generated terrain map. A similar bug exists for units unlocked through dungeons.
20. Orgasinator: Raise dead description now includes 'for a limited time'
