This update focuses on enhancing gameplay variety and allowing players to enjoy the game in their preferred way. Custom Difficulty Break free from predefined difficulty levels and customize the game to your liking. For example, you can face stronger enemies while recovering health after battles. Debug Party Similar to Custom Party, but without financial restrictions, allowing you to freely test party configurations. Subclass Subclasses grant access to skills from another job but require more experience points to level up. This feature enables strategic play by combining skills from two different classes.

In this update, new features have been added, including turn skipping, the Doomsday counter, the safety system, and soul return when demolishing buildings. Additionally, the early game difficulty has been adjusted. A new feature also allows players to restart at a higher difficulty level while retaining existing assets after completing the quest mode. 1. New Features in Quest Mode * Turn Skipping and Safety System A feature has been added to skip turns without selecting a quest. Skipping turns will recover some health for all mercenaries, but the town's safety will decrease. If the safety is high, positive events such as gold or soul bonuses will occur, while low safety can lead to negative events like monster invasions that destroy buildings. * Doomsday Counter Added After a certain number of turns, evil spirits will invade. If the evil spirit invasion is not repelled, buildings will be destroyed. Success in exploration or boss quests will raise the counter and delay the invasion. The Doomsday counter can be enabled or disabled in the settings. * Soul Return When Demolishing Buildings Demolishing unused buildings will return souls. Demolished buildings cannot be rebuilt in the same turn, but this is designed to prevent resource waste when players are unfamiliar with building functions in the early game. 2. Completing and Restarting Quest Mode After completing quest mode, players can restart at a higher difficulty level while retaining their existing buildings and mercenaries. This allows for continuous challenges. 3. Combat and Healing System Changes * Adjustments to Healing Magic and Unit Recovery The number of times healing magic can be used in quest mode has been reduced compared to dungeon mode. Units that haven't completed quests will recover some health without needing a church. If a church is built, recovery will increase, and additional healing can be purchased using gold. * Combat-Related Changes The amount of healing after combat is lower in quest mode compared to dungeon mode. Experience Orbs and Soulstones will spawn during combat, just like in dungeon mode. Boss difficulty has been segmented, and the difficulty of early exploration quest bosses has been lowered. * Card System Added In quest mode, cards can be obtained as rewards or purchased through buildings, just like in dungeon mode. Cards disappear after being used once. 4. Special Events Introduced Special events, like in dungeon mode, will also occur in quest mode. Building an observatory will activate special quest events with a certain probability. 5. Special Mercenary Hiring Once the tavern is built, special mercenaries with unique traits will appear with a certain probability, just like in dungeon mode. 6. Other Changes * Novice Tavern Added Once one or more regional bosses are defeated, the reward will be the ability to build a Novice Tavern. High-level mercenaries who haven't had their skill points distributed can be hired using Soulstones, allowing for greater unit customization. * Hall of Experience: One free experience boost per turn. * Potion Shop: One free healing potion provided per turn.

This update aims to balance and strengthen unit classes. The Engineering and Druid classes have primarily been reinforced, and Thief classes have also been added; however, the AP skills of the Assassin and Berserker have been weakened in exchange. The rebirth feature was also too powerful, so it has been weakened as well. *I have many concerns about balancing AP-related skills and the reverse mechanic. Please feel free to drop by Discord anytime if you have any advice to offer. edit: Discord link Reverse Changes:

• Only knowledge and skills are carried over when reversing, while base stats and mastery are not inherited.

Druid Class Revamp:

• A Warmth skill has been added, which either removes water puddles or melts snow.
• A Wildfire skill has been added, which sets grass on fire.
• Terrain-based support skills have been combined into one skill, which operates differently depending on the terrain tile.
• Summoning skills are similarly combined.
• Most nature-based attack skills have been adjusted to receive force-type damage that gets an INT bonus.
• A skill called Identical Twins has been added, which summons two creatures per skill use.

Mechanic Class Revamp:

• Mechanical units now leave scrap instead of a corpse when they die.
• The Tinkerer now needs scrap to create machines, starts with three scrap, generates it when a machine is destroyed, and has a skill to automatically collect scrap.
• The Mechanazzle has been changed to a physical attack unit instead of self-destructing.
• Rocket-type and gun/grenade skills have been added.
• Construction of the Helidrone has been added.
• A dual-wielding gun class called Gunslinger has been added as an advancement for the Gunner.

Archer Tree Revamp:

• Scout, which can use both swords and bows, has been added and can also use nature school skills.

Noble Starting Party Re-added:

• The Noble starting party, removed in version 1.0, has been re-added.

Thief Class Revamp:

• The passive AP increase for Thief classes has been removed, replaced with a skill called Nightshade Burst, which increases AP for a certain number of turns and puts the user to sleep afterward.
• The Assassins Instinct continuous skill has been modified to trigger only once per turn, and instead, a Rage skill that sustains Assassins Instinct for a certain number of turns has been added.
• A new upper class for the Assassin, Shadow Master, has been added.
• An upper class for Brigand, Dreadnought, has been added.
• An upper class for Outlaw, Shadow Striker, has been added.
• Dark Warrior has been changed from a tank-style class to a warrior type, advancing from Fighter and specializing in dark magic and two-handed weapons.

"Crawl Tactics Version 2" has been officially released! [previewyoutube=Dhb_NKk0dsE;full][/previewyoutube] If you were playing the existing beta version, you can continue playing as is. However, for those who weren't, please note that saves are not compatible. Unlocked classes will be retained. Since many aspects have changed compared to Version 1, we recommend going through the tutorial again. We also recommend resetting your shortcuts by pressing the default shortcut button in the settings.

[ 2024-08-31 06:00:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

Demo Version Release:

To encourage more players to try out Version 2, which will officially release on August 31, we are launching a demo version. In the demo, players can experience the first dungeon.

Key Changes in Version 2:

Difficulty Levels:

• Based on feedback that the game was too unreasonably difficult, we have adjusted the difficulty settings.
• The former "Normal" and "Easy" modes are now "Veteran" and "Torment" with a new "Casual" mode added. In Casual mode, difficulty is reduced, and players can retry battles infinitely after a loss. Even in Veteran mode, players have three retries.
• For those seeking more challenges, completing Torment mode unlocks a series of increasingly difficult "+ Modes," up to Torment 6, featuring penalties for allies or bonuses for enemies.

Gameplay Mechanics Changes:

• Class Balancing: To address the advantage of ranged units, the archer's dexterity damage bonus has been reduced, and mages now require more mana to cast spells. Tank units receive increased HP bonuses.
• Removal of AP Bonus from AGI: The AP bonus was removed because it was too powerful.
• Removal of Arrow Mechanics for Archers: Simplified due to player feedback on complexity and inconvenience.
• Delayed Spells Replaced with Rage Spells: To make combat predictions less burdensome, delayed spells were removed and replaced with "Rage Spells," which activate when the rage gauge fills through taking damage or defeating enemies.
• Battlefield Adjustments: Reduced the number of obstacles and traps on the battlefield, and allowed certain spells to pass through obstacles for a smoother gameplay experience.

New Game Modes and Special Events:

• Quest Mode: Added a mode where players can hire and train mercenaries while developing a village.
• Abyss Gate Mode: Post-game content that offers endless battles for those who clear the main game.
• Dungeon Enhancements: Dungeons now include random special events to add variety, such as rewarding rare weapons for meeting specific NPC conditions.
• New Mercenary Traits: Mercenaries now have unique traits and flaws to add personality and strategic depth.
• Expanded Starting Parties: Added new starting party options, including a Necromancer party that can summon undead units. Players can also now customize party leaders and members, and choose classes before starting.

Graphics Improvements:

• Enhanced background and water tiles.
• Improved user interface.
• Players can now customize the appearance of allied units at the start of the game.

New Dungeon Types and Classes:

• Added new dungeon environments, including snowfields and deserts, in addition to the existing ruins, riverside, catacombs, and forest.
• Introduced new subclasses, such as Fire, Ice, and Thunder apprentices, along with other new classes.

[ 2024-08-28 13:33:46 CET ] [ Original post ]

The official release date for Crawl Tactics version 2.0 is August 31st. Today, we will showcase the changes in background graphics in Crawl Tactics 2.0. All background tiles have been completely redrawn, shadows have been added to both tiles and units, and water tile effects have been enhanced.
