New features for our special Christmas 2014 release:
Play single player vs AI, or ‘hotseat’ with other human players, or a combination of human and AI
New spell - summon a pack of mutant, giant rats
Christmas themed graphics - for a limited period only
Other changes:
The formula for calculating the attack probabilities of magic attack spells and subversion has been modified so that creatures with higher magic power are more resistant.
The power of the subversion spell has been reduced from 10 to 6
The power of the triple magic attack spells has been reduced from 4 to 3
The attack value of the Gooey Blob has been reduced from 2 to 1
The casting boosts for staffs have been altered. The Law and Chaos staffs have a lower boost rating and the armoury, attack and growth staffs have a higher boost rating
The spell deck display now shows the number of cards of each alignment left in the deck, as well as the total law and chaos value of the cards
Chaos Reborn bug-fix update
While we are working on new features for the next major update, we are releasing a fixing update to resolve some bugs and interface problems. The following issues have been dealt with:
You can now login to the server when Steam is in offline mode.
If a wizard is dismounting a ‘DISMOUNT’ warning message is displayed
Casting button for multiple target spells clearly displays the number of targets selected and number remaining. The number of targets available is shown in the hovering spell hex, and the number is larger.
Fixed a bug where ‘victory point’ matches were always resulting in all players losing
Fixed a bug where Hydra doing a move followed by an attack did not attack targets which were not adjacent to its position before moving
Fixed some bugs on the server causing the client to launch the map editor when you connected as a spectator.
Fixed a bug causing you to be unable to shoot a blob with a creature in it.
Fixed a bug when attacking gooey blob with a webbed creature in it. If the attack is successful the web is no longer destroyed as well
‘Line of Sight’ blocking shapes for several creatures, wizards and mana-sprites made more accurate
A spider making web attacks generates proper battle messages.
Optimised display performance in ‘medium’ and ‘fast’ quality modes for the login screen, wizard profile screen, and some other screens
Fixed a bug where people with joysticks had uncontrollable scrolling
Inactive wizards have their names displayed on the top left
Dead wizards now have a dead wizard icon on top left wizard display
Some cosmetic terrain environment graphic improvements and map improvements
Eagle, dwarf and giant have had some graphics and animations fixes
Implemented repeat last message on up arrow in the chat.
Chat messages are not dumped across the entire left side of screen when joining a game as a spectator or reconnecting. Overflowing chat is now consistently displayed in a scroll window. The scroll window can now be opened in spectator mode.
Upgrade buttons in the wizard lord/king upgrade screens are only active if the Steam overlay is present, otherwise a warning message is displayed
Debug messages overlaying the chat window are now removed.
