Changes:

  • Stonesinger Rupture now deals explosive damage as a strength attack that can be mitigated by the victims' own armor stats, rather than a direct strength deduction.
  • Runic Gale Willpower buff subtracts from base and not from the buff after it wears off. This affects some other stat mods.
  • Eyeless' Infected Strike no longer wears off on caster death.
  • Improve video playback smoothness on some machines.
  • Add Texas Film Commission logo to credits crawl (before special thanks)

Fixes:

  • Fix primary cause of the dreaded 'AI moves but then does nothing else' bug. If an AI is trying to make it across the board to a particalar target, but cannot get into range, the AI will now attack something else within range if possible.
  • Fix occasional Survival Mode save game corruption.
  • Fix issue causing Defy and/or Protected flytext to appear when a character that was previously protected from death is hit. The flytext now only flies when the character is actually protected.
  • Dramatically reduce possibility of rectangular units ending up overlapping other units when moving.
  • Fix Battle info flag of enemies remaining enlarged after attacking them.
  • Fix More Willpower stars appear than expected when using the horn after selecting attack type.
  • Fix Spar's Insult ability can target and be used on barricades.
  • Fix Puncture bonus strength does not apply on Rain of Arrows hits.
  • Fix Eyeless' Infected Strike affecting both archers in Old Ford even if not in contact with each other.
  • Fix Stonesinger infection spreading to, and through, Skulkers.
  • (Gamepad) Fix problem selecting Reload Battle button in the options menu during Survival.
  • (Gamepad) Fix issue using horn _after_ the first movement of a male horseborn.
  • (Gamepad) Fix problem giving a Character an item in the Character stat Screen.
  • (Gamepad) Fix issue causing multiple battle info flags to remain enlarged.


Build 2.32.38

Survival Mode!
A new gameplay mode that is all about staying alive through as many battles as possible! Choose six heroes from most of the 40+ Banner Saga characters, then pit them against dredge, horseborn, bandits, and varl alike. Earn Renown and an item with each victory, unlock heroes to replace those who fall in battle, and upgrade the veterans who stay alive. To play, simply click on the Survival Mode banner on the start screen of Banner Saga 2.

Survival Details:

  • Choose 6 heroes from a full roster. After you begin, you can recruit more heroes with renown.
  • Your progress is saved, but you can only reload a battle a limited number of times. You have 3 reloads to start with and you gain 1 more reload ever 5 battles.
  • Heroes who fall in battle are _dead_ and can be given a Viking Funeral to regain some renown and recruit new heroes.
  • Heroes have no kill count requirement for promotion. If you have the renown, you can promote the hero.
  • Battles have a 30 second turn timer (and 60 second deployment timer) to keep the action moving quickly.
  • Battle turn order is fixed from the start, like pillage mode.
  • Scores are tallied and leaderboards are displayed for playing in Normal or Hard difficulty.
  • 12 new Survival mode achievements!
  • One enemy per battle spawns with an item equipped. Kill the enemy, and gain the item!
  • Every 5 battles offers the opportunity for a second wave of fighting, which opens up the possibility for additional renown and items.

  • Fix issue preventing '+x Renown' banners in battle from displaying the correct renown for higher ranked enemies
  • Fixed seam in baldrungr's godstone background sprites
  • Fix reversed red/green coloration on DRAWING AGGRO items description
  • Added 'Consequences' section on Match Resolution that displays Injuries (or Deaths, in Survival)
