  DEV NOTE: Previously, if the player was defending at only one location, the AI would lose units while those crossing at another location did not engage in combat. Now, the first group will wait until the second group crosses the river, allowing them to attack together.

⚠ IMPORTANT

🧱 MOD WARNING

• Fixed an issue where vassal income would significantly reduce after loading a save following the removal of a vassal due to endgame objectives. This was caused by the game subtracting the previous tribute from the income without resetting the tribute value, leading to repeated incorrect deductions. We missed this specific issue initially, but we believe this updated solution resolves all related problems.
  
• Fixed an issue with the 'Continue Campaign' button in Launcher not continuing the campaign, and instead redirecting to the main game screen.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when players overcast a spell while commanding a unit with multiple shot types in battle. This issue was identified and resolved thanks to detailed reports from our community forums!

• Explosive ammunition for Hochland Long Rifles no longer reduces penetration value from 1 to 0.
  
• Tempest from the Lore of High Magic now matches its visual duration at 17 seconds for both regular and overcast.
  
• Fixed an issue where Dark Elf buildings that reduce slave count only functioned correctly when constructed by the player. Captured settlements with pre-existing economic buildings did not reduce slave count until these buildings were upgraded or replaced. This fix ensures that the slave count reduction feature works as intended immediately upon acquiring such buildings.
  
• Fixed a crash in multiplayer campaign games where completing the Changeling Cult building "Ravaging Host" in another player's settlement would cause the game to crash. This was due to a Lua error in the script that was meant to trigger a dilemma for the player upon discovering the cult.
  
• Fixed some instances of skills that penalise enemy hero success chance instead being granted to the enemy, making them penalise your success chance.
  
• Fixed issue where a placeholder icon would show on some Shadowy Dealing actions.

• Removed the Mentor skill from the Legendary Heroes that had it.

This now makes it consistent across all Legendary Heroes, as some did not have this skill.

• Fixed an issue in multiplayer campaigns where upon completing the mission to gain Karanak, the dilemma would appear for players rather than just the player completing the mission.
  
• Character type restrictions on ancillaries and magic items tooltip now always show, instead of only showing when trying to equip on an invalid type. (When valid, the text will show yellow instead of red.)
  
• Unit upgrades, such as the Wood Elf Aspect Upgrades, are now displayed in a consistent order.
  
• The enemy Skaven undercities UI panel no longer goes offscreen when there are multiple entries.

Additional balancing:

• Karanak:
  
  • Prey Of The Blood God
    
    • Damage per tick: 67 -> 33
      
    • Max number of uses: infinite -> 3
      
    • Karanak was intended to get roughly the effect of a spirit leech alongside his net. Currently his damage per tick is identical spirit leech but it lasts twice as long, we've normalized this.
  
  
• Deepwood Scouts (Swiftshiver Shards):
  
  • Range 180 -> 155
    
  • Calibration distance 120 -> 100
    
  • At identical range to the regular deepwood scout arrows, swiftshiver shards outcompeted the regular arrows in every way, we're pushing this back a little to the midway point between the old and new value.
  
  
• Warshrine of Tzeentch:
  
  • Giver of Arcane Glory:
    
    • Reserve winds generated per second at maximum intensity: 0.2 -> 0.15
      
    • Winds regeneration and reserve bonus only applies to the shrine itself. (No longer multiplies the bonuses to winds based on the number of nearby units.)
      
    • Mastery bonus still applies to all nearby allies.
      
    • While the dark gods are fickle, the gameplan we saw of players obliterating their own units with vortexes to kickstart an ultra rapid infinite mana engine wasn't quite intended. The intention is that your shrine itself is a generator that gets powered up by nearby deaths, not that nearby units become generators themselves, multiplying the payoff many times over. Keep your wizards close, and your forces close but not that close.
