Countless Army dresses up in Japanese theme to attend Toledo Matsuri! [previewyoutube=VrwpQzsrw_k;full][/previewyoutube] Update 1.4.0 brings several new features, including the implementation of a mini post-game expansion that adds six new maps, four new defenses, and two new effects; the rebalancing of some final troops that were too strong, bug fixes, and Lucas now has a voice! But lets go step by step. On the weekend of April 5-6, Dos Estrellas will attend the Toledo Matsuri in person. To celebrate, during the two weeks following the release of 1.4.0, there will be an in-game event available from April 3 to April 17.

Toledo Matsuri

During this event, you can unlock up to 6 different skins to dress your troops in a Japanese theme.

• Skeletal dogs: Kitsune.
• Emaciated: Kodama.
• Knight: Samurai.
• Banshee: Japanese Ghost.
• Reaper: Shinigami.
• Bothworlder: Tengu.

To unlock these skins, your troops must pass through the Torii scattered across the 6 maps.

The Search

A mini expansion.

This new content focuses on the Lichs quest to find an ancient powerful artifact. Will you be able to conquer the new maps and find it? Though who knows? Maybe the artifact isnt even in this part of Arreit.

The expansion includes:

Six new maps with volcanic and maritime themes.
Four new defenses have been added for the expansion:
Lava rivers now cause burns to troops. Rivers also slow down troop movement across them.

Defense Updates.

Additionally, defenses now take troop type into account, being stronger against some types and weaker against others. To reflect this, defenses now display a sign where you can see their name, damage type, weaknesses, and strengths.

Troop Updates.

Troops also have new information. Now, icons will appear next to them to indicate possible status effects.
For those who feel this new information clutters the battlefield with too many icons, it can be disabled with a keyboard/controller shortcut. Both new features are disabled in "hard" difficulty mode.

Rebalancing:

Some troops that were too strong in the late game have been adjusted:

• Dragon now takes twice as long between ability uses.
• Bansheeunit count reduced from 8 to 6 per division.
• Observer unit count reduced from 9 to 6 per division.
• Necromancer summoning soldiers now summons 1 instead of 2.

New Language: Japanese.

Additionally, the game has been fully translated into Japanese! Starting today, you can select this language from the options menu.

Lucas has a voice!

Now Lucas has small voice lines to add more personality to the game. You will hear him during skin selection, skill tree upgrades, and in story events such as capital conquests, the beginning, and the end For those who want to hear Lucas everywhere, Ive enabled the cinematic to replay when reattempting any capital. I hope you enjoy all these changes and additions. Have fun with the event and 1.4.0!
