Battle Maps
These new maps have been finely crafted by our team to grant new exciting ways to battle in camps, towers, hamlets and villages. This addition will provide you with new combat environments, form existing loications, but also new tactical possibilities! With bigger obstacles, battles in these places will require you to adapt to new strategies.
You will be able to find these new battle maps in the following locations:
- Towers
- Camps
- Hamlets
- Villages
Battle Traps
In addition to the new battle maps, new deadly (and not so deadly) traps have also been added! Some of them have a unique interactions and are only found in specific locations. These additions will offer new opportunities to turn a fight in your favour!
- Powder Keg
When destroyed, it will create a fire surface around itself while damaging and knocking back close units.
- Caged Plague-ridden
Deals damage and inflict Fever to units who pass nearby or end their turn next to them.
- Raw Materials Pickup
Repair a small amount or armour when used.
- Oils Pickup
When used, will apply the effect of the oil on the unit’s weapon on top of any other oil for the duration of the battle.
New Backstory
A new start option related to Belerion with a Pugilist has been added, we didn’t want to restrict it to people that own the Pirates of Belerion DLC, that’s why this new starting option will be available for everyone!
The Pugilist is a somewhat complex class which can be tricky to handle in the hands of a new player. Which is why we have decided to lock it behind simple requirements, to ensure new players can first familiarise themselves with the basics of the game.
To unlock the new starting option you will need to have completed one of the following requirements:
- Have a level 5 (or higher) Pugilist
- Have unlocked a new starting region other than Tiltren
- Have completed the scenario of a region
Features
- Companion list
For players that have a large amount of companions in their troop, it can sometimes be a chore to remember which ones have had their turn, or set them up before starting in combat. Thanks to this addition, you will be able to rapidly see where everyone is at and easily select them without having to find them in the crowd. You will need to activate this option under “General>Advanced” to be able to use it.
- Inventory filter
You can now filter objects with various tags to ease your navigation in the inventory.
- Hide backpacks
You will now be able to hide the backpacks of your companions to better appreciate the back of their armour!
