The Book of the Game
v1.00.10 is now live
Crash to desktop when there is a lot of late game invasion activity - fixed
Odd bug where the AI shoots very wildly if you stand on the bottom row of the combat grid!
Some bugs fixed to enable you to ally with the elf. Reduced goodwill decay (dwarf too - they have long memories) and allowed positive goodwill on trade caravans and escort ambassadors. Also added a minimum relationship gain for each mission completed.
Banned certain characters from the band name, as this is also used as the save game name. (eg wildcards like *, quotes, slashes...) These will just be removed from the band name if you type them.
No trade missions to places at war in the late game
A variety of bugs related to resting - all fixed.
** BALANCE **
Slowed big elf armies somewhat
Most naval combat missions turned down difficulty slightly, as there is no escape
Regenerate improved slightly
Vampires and Undead Heroes lose the No Pain skill. These will now lose combat skill the more injured they are. (I think someone had a game where a UH had 1 hp left and killed a couple of adventurers in one sweep...)
Obviously they don't feel pain still - it's all about their combat skills decreasing as they take damage, like most critters.
v1.00.09 now live!
Auto-saves, increased to 5 slots.
It came to my attention while doing the above that the game auto-saved like a mad monkey. Reduced to something more sensible - you may see some performance improvement.
Added two new buttons to the View Adventurer screen. One takes you to the Relations screen and one takes you to the Fallen and the Departed screen. These screens were there before, but you needed to know the keyboard shortcut.
Fixed (properly this time - thanks to someone very kindly sending a save game) the bug on taking a caravan mission, when the settlement had just been destroyed.
New difficulty settings
1 - Very Easy
2 - Normal (This is the new default, and it is the same as the old level 1)
3 - Veteran (The old level 2)
4 - Hard (The old level 3)
5 - Hell (Even I'm struggling on this one)
Old save games gameplay will be unaffected, you will be playing on levels 2, 3 or 4.
A couple of steam achievements fired incorrectly - fixed.
Added a new option for the movement grid opacity. This can now nearly be turned off, or turned up to a nice garish colour! (This also affects the ranged chances opacity)
Fix to prevent corrupted save games in very rare circumstances (thanks again for sending in the save so I could fix this!)
v1.00.08 is now live
V1.00.07 is now live
Warlocks can now equip heavy armour and weapons, as intended.
A few changes to the Vampire class - Regen added, Undead flag set, Immune to Bleed condition and a couple more. She will start with some spells now too, but these are only added when she joins, so you will need to start a new game to see the effect.
Hopefully fix a crash (I couldn't recreate) when you accept a caravan mission and there is no valid destination settlement.
Fixed a bug where there was a drastic relations loss on failing a contract.
Thanks everyone!
V1.00.06 now live
Fixed a bad bug which meant you could chase bandits on a trade mission, which meant you got stuck once you had beat the bandits.
(Any existing save games suffering this need to cancel the trade mission)
The Book of the Game is now live!
