Everything should be back to what it should ! Fixed a bug that prevented to play as expected when picking or switching to troll. Fixed a bug where the troll bot could just stop moving until it had enough money to buy upgrades. Fixed latency issues when buying upgrades (for the troll and for the elves).
Anyways, have fun on the new patch ! DBAT.
Update 1.03
Dev Notes
Hey everybody ! Here's a new update adding new functionalities, bug fixes, and more.... Spread the word about this game to your friend, because at the moment, there aren't enough players to find games online, being solo. Adding the Troll AI allows the game to be played solo, providing you with a real challenge !
Changes
New content[expand type="details"]
Troll's Artificial Intelligence : When no players pick the Troll, it will be played by a bot until it kills one of the elf players. When this happens, the first elf killed becomes the Troll. This functionality allows the game to be played solo, or with fewer people, providing you with a real challenge !
[/expand]
Other Changes[expand type="details"]
Root's Cooldown is set to 3 secs.
The music from the main menu has a smoother start.
Revisiting unit's movements system.
[/expand]
Bug Fixes[expand type="details"]
Corrected a bug where casting invulnerability on your wall would cast it twice, causing the wall to be invulnerable for the rest of the game or until the spell would be casted again.
Corrected a bug where you could take advantage of a lag and upgrade your buildings more than possible. There is now a delay between each upgrade cast.
[/expand]
And that's all for today, good luck and have fun in the Cloudy Arena, and beware !! The bot is quite strong.

Changed graphics settings to better fit different tiers. Ultra is now even smoother and low is lower !
Changed few buttons for better clarity. (From back to cancel and such...)
Ghosts animations are now synced.
Stable Version Updates will be less often
Finally got to a stable version, balancing seems just fine now.

Minor Update
Tweaking a few stuff for balance:
Troll wards bonus according to number of wards :
1. 4 gold
2. 10 gold
3. 50 gold
4. ( Number of players +1 ) ^4
Elves now get gold if they take down a ward (only the one taking it down).

Dev Notes
ːsteamhappyːHey everyone! ːsteamhappyː
This update adds in a number of features that cause the game to change quite a bit. Check this out !
Changes
New content[expand type="details"]
New random map, there are 256 variations of the map, so that will make each game really different.
New skin system. You can now upgrade your skins after buying them. That will add elements to your skin!
[/expand]
Other changes[expand type="details"]
Statistics gain buff decreased to 2.1 (used to be 2.2) for the Troll when he buys upgrades with diamond.
Increasing the cooldown of the Troll ward to 4 mins.
Changed the cooldown display to be more readable.
Elves can no longer build two walls close to another. The idea behind this is if you want to dual build, you should take a spot that is made for it on the map (islands with 2 entrances).
[/expand]
Bug Fixes[expand type="details"]
Fixed a bug where the Troll could place his ward in the trees separating the map areas.
Fixed a bug where the Troll could see the gold and diamonds that elves sent to each other.
Fixed a bug where the Troll could see newly built buildings for a very short time before they disappeared in the fog of war.
[/expand]
Thanks for reading this, and see you soon! DBAT.

Dev Notes
ːsteamhappyːHey everyone! ːsteamhappyː
This is the update making changes to the game and I'm so excited to share them with you! It has been more than 10 days now since the game came out, and they have been quite informationnal for the balance of the game. Thank you all for your feedbacks, and have fun with the new patch!
Changes
New content[expand type="details"]
You can now give gold and diamond to your allies as an elf. Simply click on your allies and use the above buttons to give resources. Each time you click on the button, you will give 5% of your selected resource, so be careful when spam clicking!
Elf ghosts have a new spell called "Strike" they can use to hit the troll hut. Each time you hit the hut, it takes 5 dmg (it has 500hp), and you gain gold based on the time spent in game. If the troll hut's HP get to 0, elves win!
Elves now have a 3 hits armor, which prevents them from being one shot. Troll won't make money on these hits. You only have 3 hits for your entire game so be careful when you're out of armor.
[/expand]
Other changes[expand type="details"]
Changed to map icon of ghosts to be more clear.
Changed the icon of the "destroy" action to avoid confusion.
The red color for map icons is now only for the troll.
New Successes, check them out!

Bug Fixes[expand type="details"]
Fixed a bug where an elf could spawn a tower on bridge supports, which caused them to be invulnerable.
Fixed a bug where the gift could spawn on an unreachable spot.
[/expand]
Thanks for reading this, and see you soon! DBAT.
Adding language support
Adding language support for french and english. Deutsch, Espanol to come.
Survive the troll Minor fixes
This is a minor fix for the game.
Fixed a bug where the troll could stay in place, or have weird movement behaviour when you right click in an elf's base.
Fixed a bug with wide screen adjustment. If you notice anything off, don't hesitate to contact me.
So far, we don't have many players, but I'm working on it ! I hope that by the end of the month, we'll have enough players to actually play the game when we want ! In the meantime, try to talk to your friends about the game :)
See you soon, DBAT.
