Warhammer Skulls

• Doubled the number of tiles to battle over on the Overworld Map.
  
• Some tiles are vacant and can be claimed without a battle.
  
• Removed the starting battle. When the campaign states, the opening animation is played. Then, the first moves occur on the overworld map.
  
• The 3 main armies now start at 1500 or 2000 points (depending on difficulty settings)
  
• Neutral faction armies now have more unit types in them and are larger - either 1250 or 1500.
  
• The resource tiles have been renamed, and are no longer themed as Imperial assets.
  
  
  • Auxillary Force (formerly Vox caster relay) gives a 300-point bonus to the army cap.
    
  • Expanded Authority (formerly Manufactorum) potentially gives +1AP
    
    
    • The Expanded Authority resource now works by building up charge from performing actions on the Overworld Map. When fully charged, an extra Action Point is awarded for 1 turn. Once the Action Point is used, the resource must recharge again to provide the next Action Point.
    
    
  • Rapid Resupply (formerly Munitions Depot) reduces unit cooldowns by 1.
  
  
• Fighting for resource tiles uses a new objective type 'Sieze and Control'.
  
  
  • The attacker gains points for each unit in a zone near a resource asset on the map.
    
  • The defender gains points for killing the attackers' units.
  
  
• In Planetary Supremacy battles, all AI units are now activated when the battle starts.
  
• Added a difficulty setting to control requisition cost for the enemy, separately from the player.
  
• Revised the AI that controls the two AI opponents. The AI should now be more aggressive in attacking the human player.
  
• Ensured that Neutral factions will always have an HQ Commander unit in their army.
  
• All of the procedural maps configurations used in Planetary Supremacy have been adjusted to reduce chokepoints and support bigger armies.
  
• The “Preview” label has been removed.
  

• Added ‘Sieze and Control’ as a new objective type in single-player skirmish mode, and multiplayer.
  
• Added an option to enable using melee weapons by default when attacking a unit on an adjacent tile.
  
  
  
  • Enable this setting in the Options menu under Controls/UI.
  
  
• In all non-narrative battles, the HQ Commander can now be chosen from available HQ units in the army loadout phase.
  
  
  • Click on the HQ Commander icon next to an HQ unit to make it the HQ Commander.
  
  
• Implemented a new battlefield promotion system. If your HQ Commander is killed in battle, and another HQ unit is available, they become the HQ Commander at the start of the next turn. Command Points are reset to zero.
  
  
  • This system is available in all game modes except the Age of Crimson Dawn campaign.
  
  
• All weapon options are now displayed when inspecting a unit type in the army management UI.
  
• Added the amount of momentum gained per model killed to the targeting tooltip.
  
• Added support for customizing army names via the onscreen keyboard when using a gamepad. This mostly impacts consoles.
  
• Improved performance of the larger Planetary Supremacy hex map on consoles.
  
• Improvements to AI for transport mechanics.
  
• Improvements to AI for using Adepta Sororitas HQ Commands.
  

• Changed the temporary stat modifiers apply when performing a Fallback action:
  
  
  • Evasion: 10 (35)
    
  • Damaged Received: -50% (0%)
    
  • Accuracy: -5 (-10)
    
  • We noticed that the fallback action was inconsistent as to when the combatants were able to score hits. These changes should make falling back more consistent and visceral.
