Patch Notes (October 17th)
Dear Monster Thrashers,
on October 17th (approx at 6 pm CEST // 9 am PDT) a free DLC will expand your game.
There are a few new features, the new Champion Weissle and optimisations and improvements.
The following patchnotes sum everything up:
New Champion: Weissle, The Alchemist
Abilities
Weissle is a versatile character that uses quick fire “Catalyst” abilities that empower her with different reagents. She can then unleash the reagents she has gathered using powerful “Concoctions” that have varying effects based on the reagents that were used.
Unlocking
The Alchemist can be unlocked by conquering a territory in the desert region of Anteria. If a player loads a save game and already owns that territory, he will have Weissle already unlocked.
New village building: The Foundry of Affinities
5 new potions
The “Foundry of Affinities” is a special building that once built unlocks 5 new hybrid potion recipes you can craft in your apothecary.
Unlocking
The building is unlocked from the village skill tree as normal and requires a “Basic” building slot within your village.
Missions
Improved AI pathfinding in narrow corridors.
- Allies will now wait and not run around the map to reach an unreachable enemy.
- Enemies will now attack a different target within range if they can’t reach their highest agro target.
Action queue
Fixed an issue with champions losing their action queue when being blocked by another unit.
Unit movement speed
Fixed an issue that made the Dark Cult assassination target move very fast when attacking.
Desert map changes
Champions don’t get stuck anymore after using a teleporter on a dessert map in certain conditions.
Abilities
Elemental alignment
Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented abilities, that would change a unit’s magical element, to be applied.
Technical
Ironman loading
Using “Quick Load” in Ironman mode does not load non-Ironman saves anymore.
Main menu background
The Northland main menu background shows up now.
Game freeze
A rare issue that made loading a save game sometimes return an error that would freeze the game logic has been fixed.
Uplay
Language fix
The Uplay stats show up in the Spanish localization now.
