⚠ IMPORTANT

🧱 MOD WARNING

Highlights

• Fixed an issue where The Ice Court and The Great Orthodoxy would get stuck at 100/100 supporters after quest battles without increasing tier
  
• Fixed Beastmen being able to settle without creating a Herdstone, causing them to permanently lose their shards.
  
• Fixed an issue where flying spellcasters would be constantly spinning round in circles.
  

Known Issues // Still Cooking

• Manually abandoning a settlement in a Bloodground as a Beastmen faction results in the 3DUI not updating properly and showing the settlement as not a part of the Bloodground.
  
• When loading a saved game from before version 6.1.3 as a Beastmen faction, the region occupation restrictions get updated on End Turn, not on load.
  

CAMPAIGN

General // Gameplay

• Fixed an issue so that Beastmen can no longer occupy regions in a Bloodground without actually raising a Herd stone. This used to be allowed in error and consumed a shard without providing an avenue to get it back.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could open a panel using hotkeys during the transition from pre to post-battle
  
• Fixed an issue where confederated leaders would not automatically get Followin' Da Plan points if confederated while wounded when playing as the Ironclaw Orcs
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when losing a settlement while an Ataman is traveling to it.
  
• Added additional negative diplomatic relations between Cathay factions and their enemy rebel factions to stop them finding too much harmony in the early game.
  
• Fixed an issue where Skulltaker's tongue was missing during the intro cinematic to 'The Slayer Sword' quest battle
  
• Fixed an issue where the Cockatrice didn’t have a recruitment cap when being recruited by Beastmen armies (Old saves will likely see some mild confusion, as existing Cockatrice in those saves will technically be the Tzeentch version, which is not capped).
  
• Fixed an issue where The Ice Court and The Great Orthodoxy would get stuck at 100/100 supporters after quest battles without increasing tier.
  

BATTLE

• Fixed issue on Quenelles (Bretonnia) map where the camera could go inside the river on one side.
  
• Fixed an issue where some buildings would incorrectly float on the Gaen Vale (High Elves) battle map
  
• Fixed issues where some terrain lacked collision and units were able to climb very steep surfaces on the battle map for Kemmler's Chaos Tomb Blade quest
  
• Fixed an issue where water on the battle map wasn’t displaying properly for Mother Ostankya’s ‘Jinxed Land’ quest
  
• Fixed various issues relating to building placement and stretched textures on assorted battle maps
  
• Performed tree surgery by removing trees that were clipping through buildings and tidied various misplaced assets across various battle maps
  
• Fixed an issue where textures weren't placed properly in some areas on The Black Pyramid (Tomb Kings) battle map
  
• Fixed an issue so that rebel rocks now obey gravity on The Pillar of Bone battle map
  
• Fixed an issue where units were passing and clipping through a group of rocks on the Aymara Swamp battle map, they have now been thrown in the river to prevent this.

CAMPAIGN

General // Gameplay

• Devotion adjustments: Lowered the requirement for using Invocations to 25+ devotion. (It still costs 50 devotion to perform an invocation).
  

• The Ice Guard recruitment building has been collapsed into one single building (found at tier 4), providing access to both Ice Guard variants and capacity for Frost Maidens.

• Gnoblar Flingers no longer start at 10% health in garrisons on turn 1 of campaigns. (They were just out of breath!)
  
• The "Royal Ice Guardians" technology for Kislev now correctly provides upkeep reduction for armies lead by Ice Witches instead of Frost Maidens.
  
• While Yuri's journey certainly is a struggle, we didn't mean to cut his tech tree down to just the "Struggling" category. The rest of the missing prologue tech tree has been restored.

• Fixed an issue where units with the Fire Whilist Moving ability could engage units outside their range if the unit was moving backwards or towards them.
  
• Gorbad Ironclaw no longer takes penalties for being in a forest while on foot. (He's large and in charge, but not that large).
