3/10/2019 Beta Update

We have just released an update to the 1.3.0 beta for THREE KINGDOMS. This includes the following changes:

  • Fixed an issue where Jia Xu did not have armour equipped at the campaign start
  • Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huang Gai, and Pang Tong now have the correct attribute bonuses for each of their three character levels in custom and multiplayer battles
  • Huang Gai now has an older voice
  • Guo Jia and Jia Xu’s events now only can happen for Han factions so Yellow Turbans no longer get them
  • Reverted changes to Lü Bu’s unique ability which doubled its cooldown
  • Fixed an issue where item sets did not correctly display ownership of individual items
  • Fixed an issue where bonuses from passive abilities could stack if units left the radius of ability and then re-entered it (such as the ability of the Chanters)
  • Devastating Roar: Added a 15-second timer to Sun Ce’s Devastating Roar ability so that it no longer gives -50 morale for the rest of the match
  • Desperate Cry: This ability will only be available when the enemy force is stronger Desperate Cry Ability usage cap has also been reduced to 2 from 1
  • Venomous Shot: This ability is now capped at three uses to stop Taishi Ci destroying whole armies with it
  • Slight decrease in accuracy to bow-equipped Heroes to counter the increased missile vulnerability that all heroes now have
  • The fatigue cost of combat in Records mode has been decreased from 30 to 25
