Hotfix Patch 1.4.0f10 Release notes

Greetings All, We've just unleashed another hotfix patch unto the world and this one includes fixes for a large number of user reported issues. Remember if you're suffering from an issue please report it to us on our Bug Tracker!

UI Improvements

In-Game UI

Improved the contrast of the gold cost numbers for payday overlay
Added secondary icon for Artefact identified notification
Added secondary icons for Ritual ready and Ritual activated notifications (to differentiate own, ally and enemy rituals)
Removed active state tooltip from gold vortex, instead the gold vortex is now always active.

Menus

Added a new loading screen drawing

Campaign Improvements

All Home Realms

Your Dungeon Core is now correctly indestructible
Fixed Kasita’s identity crisis - She no longer identified as Oberon

HoG1 - The Wizard

Fixed the reminder to use blood money on Mandalf

HoG2 - The Summoning Stone

Cultists are now correctly grabbable after being affected by a booby trap

HoG3 - The Colossus

Fixed the “Gold Statue” achievement

HoG4 - The Heart of Gold

Fixed a potential issue preventing entrance by the west gate

C3 - The Breach

Closed the door next to O’Theland, so he once again has some privacy (to brush his hair)

Performance Improvements

Optimized audio assets, as a result memory usage has been reduced by approximately 600MB
Optimized a number of subsystems, increasing FPS on large maps with large numbers of units by 15% to 20%

Bug Fixes

The game will now provide an informative error dialogue before quitting if an issue is encountered during loading.
Fixed an exploit where the Help button could be used to scout/cheat in multiplayer
Fixed an issue where high level units (with wages between 1000 and 1333) would suddenly stop doing jobs (eg. Torture, Potion brewing, Ghoul summoning, Garrison recharge, ...) after having payday
Fixed gold statues counting towards the player’s population and thus slowing down the spawn rate from gateways
Fixed support units (eg. healers) incorrectly applying their buffs (eg. Heal) to units in range while they sleep (which made them visually toggle from sleeping to buffing animation)
Huntress now fights with her full toolset, she can once again get rid of Vampires forever!
Fixed an issue with Vampires failing to drink blood from victims in a loop, causing the game to lag
Fixed an issue where your own units could die after fighting in the arena, if they got a damage input modifying debuff applied (such as the Cultist’s “Desecration” ability.)
Fixed imprisoned empire units didn’t move inside the prison, when they were following a patrol route
Fixed the “Barracks too small” notification. This popped only when the Barracks was big enough, while it was supposed to notify the opposite
Fixed an issue that caused a crash on game load due to a Japanese language translation mod which was out of date
Fixed an issue which prevented Augres from recharging the Garrison Aura, when the game was saved and loaded after the Aura was halfway depleted
Fixed that Cultists ignore newly added channeling slots in the Sanctuary, when it is enlarged while a Ritual is channeled
Fixed possession doors sometimes playing their lock sounds in unintended circumstances
Fixed a lot of subtle and minor errors and issues found in player logs
Fixed an issue where unused Veins of Evil slots would show lock icons, making the player think it was inaccessible content
Fixed an issue where the payday overlay can extend past the gold bar when payments are higher than 100% of owned gold

That about does it for now enjoy! Cheers! - Brightrock Games Team

Tired of invading dungeons? It's time you build your own!

Do you feel you are in a slump? Monotonously disembowelling evil guys in endless quests for gold and a slightly better pair of boots? You are starting to wonder... are heroics really your calling? Welcome to the War for the Overworld!

War for the Overworld is a Dungeon Management Game that employs your favourite aspects of the RTS and God Game genres. You play an all-powerful, malevolent Underlord, long banished to the Aether. With unrivalled dark power and an insatiable desire for bloody conquest, you will arise once more, and reclaim your realm!

In your absence, the Underworld lost its way. It became feeble and afraid of the Empire of the Overworld, which grew strong and boldly comfortable in its quiet retirement from evil-slaying. Carve out your dungeon from the soil and stones of the Underworld, and build dozens of unique rooms to attract a myriad of creatures to your halls to work and fight for you.

In addition to your faithful followers, you have destructive spells and powerful rituals to cast upon any unsuspecting goodly Hero (or rival Underlord) who dares to breach your unhallowed halls. With your unmatched dark powers and mighty army of bloodthirsty minions, you are ready for your War for the Overworld!

Key Features

Build Your Dungeon - Excavate and build your dungeon beneath the earth of the Overworld. Design its layout as you see fit, creating an underground fortress filled with a wide variety of rooms, each with a unique use and purpose.
Evil Is Back - Play as an Underlord who has awakened from a deep slumber after countless years drifting in the Aether. This realm hosts a variety of enemies — both Heroes and Underlords will stand in your path as you fight for dominance of the Overworld
Veins of Evil - Choose from over 60 rooms, spells, potions, rituals, defences and constructs in the Veins of Evil as you progress through the game. There are a plethora of possible Vein combinations you can use to conquer the Overworld. Create your own unique flavour of evil!
Fortify Your Domain - Build a wide variety of defences within your walls to defend against — and destroy — those who seek to invade your domain.
Cast Wicked Spells - Call down unholy magic to strengthen your dungeon, route enemy forces, flood corridors with Micropiglets, or simply turn a meddlesome Hero into a geyser of giblets.
Unleash Devastating Rituals - Punish your foes or empower your own forces with game-changing Rituals that can do anything from raising an undead army, to instantly fortifying your entire dungeon.
Command Powerful Minions - Over 20 minions await your call, and will gladly work and fight under your banner... if you provide them with all the creature comforts they demand.
Conquer the Overworld - Play through a feature-length campaign, facing off against the Emperor of the Overworld as you fight for complete supremacy in the Realm of Kairos
Destroy Your Rivals - Take the fight to your rival Underlords in Skirmish or Multiplayer matches with up to four players.
Challenge Ruthless AI - Team up with a friend or fly solo and challenge devastatingly sophisticated AI Opponents in Skirmish or Multiplayer!
Shape the Underworld - Create entirely new Skirmish, Scenario, Sandbox and Multiplayer levels in the Map Editor and share them with other Underlords via Steam Workshop!
Test Your Mettle - Run the gauntlet of the prototype Survival mode and see if you can top the high score against waves of enemies!
