Legendary Heroes 1.7b Now Available
We’ve pushed a minor bugfix patch for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. As always, your Steam client should automatically update your game to the latest version.
Patch notes:
+ Fixed most frequent crash bugs
Legendary Heroes 1.7 Now Available
Arguably the biggest patch since Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes’ release more than a year ago, version 1.7 improves CPU-controlled factions’ strategic acumen as well as introducing class-specific items for all five unique hero types, like Commander-only banners that boost the entire army’s capabilities.
Download the patch free simply by signing into your Steam client.
Among other things, patch 1.7 includes:
Class-specific items - Commanders lead better than ever with unique banners, mages command the elements with new staves, and more
Significant AI improvements - AI rivals now develop their empires more effectively, for example through upgrading their outposts
Balancing across the board - Unrest modifiers have been tweaked to make sprawling empires less overwhelmingly powerful, and many unit and item stats have changed
Revamped army-strength logic - The method used for calculating army strength has been completely reworked, making evaluating threats easier for human and AI players alike
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.7 BETA Now Available
Arguably the biggest patch to date for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is now available for opt-in beta testing. Frogboy has made huge improvement to many areas of the AI, Commanders get new class-specific items, rival sovereigns are a lot chattier, and balance has gotten a hard look across the board.
LH 1.7, like all of Stardock's patches, will be free for everyone who has purchased the game.
To download the beta, do the following:
Log into your Steam client.
Right-click Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes and choose Properties.
Select the BETAS tab.
In the drop-down menu, choose "1.7 Beta".
Close the Properties window.
Steam should automatically download the update.
Note that saved games from previous patches will probably work with the 1.7 beta, but will be missing many of the balance changes. Start a new game to check out LH 1.7 the way it's meant to be played.
Please report any bugs or other issues you encounter to the LH Support forum so that we can make the 1.7 release the best it can be.
Thanks as always for your support, and happy conquering!
Leader Pack DLC Now Available
Stardock released today the latest downloadable content (DLC), the Leader Pack, for its critically acclaimed turn-based fantasy strategy game, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. The Leader Pack is available now through Steam for $4.99.
The Leader Pack adds an all-new sovereign to each of the game's 10 factions. These leaders provide fresh gameplay experiences with new abilities and items. Prove might makes right with the hardy but magically impaired General Tarth, bring death magic to the kingdoms of men with Sanjo of Gilden, or absolve Lord Relias' mistakes by leading Altar to glory as Shirayn.
Players can also customize their own sovereigns with additional traits and equipment. Treasure Hunters have supernaturally good luck at finding loot, leaders with Lifeblood heal their own wounds with every spell cast, and anyone wielding powerful Ruvennan Bracers is destined for glory on the battlefield with their dramatically boosted combat capabilities.
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.6 is live!
Fire up your Steam client to get the latest patch to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. The free 1.6 update paves the way for the DLC coming soon and offers a little something for everyone.
Heroes get access to some new abilities (Dragon Born, Master Archer, Death Blow), many of the late-game champions get significant boosts to make it a little less disappointing when Gallowman doesn’t offer to join your cause, and modders now have some additional tools for creating abilities of their own.
As always, a raft of balance tweaks and bug fixes are folded into the patch as well.
See the full changelog on the official forums, and happy conquering!
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.5 Now Available
The fifth major update to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is live! Diplomacy and stability are the major focuses of v1.5, which you can enjoy as soon as your Steam client automatically downloads the patch.
The diplomatic AI has been overhauled, making for a more varied and interesting strategic layer. The AI is also more verbose now, telling players how it feels about them and their other rival empires in no uncertain terms.
We also put a big focus on stability for v1.5. We’ve fixed the top 20 crashes and hangs that were affecting players, on top of the usual bug fixes, balance tweaks, and UI improvements.
