Game Update (0.9.124)
[ 2019-01-28 20:07:55 CET ] [ Original post ]
Very sorry for the delay on the update. I'll add some additional info to the notes later, but need a bit of rest now. User Interface
- Filter option added to the "Action" section allowing hiding/showing actions not related to the current selection. For example, if an army is selected this will hide the various Explore and Build actions that may be valid for the hex selection.
- Handled/dismissed notifications (for the current turn) can now be re-shown. They cannot be re-opened at the moment, but this will be added in a future update (as a read-only mode in cases with irrevocable choices).
- Improved tooltips and hint text for Tribal Destiny related UI.
- Improved the selection of character portraits for several races and cultures.
- Optimized several aspects of world generation.
- Added additional logic to prevent adjacent/very close starting positions for major factions (warlords, wizards). It can still happen but should be much less likely to occur.
- Improved the impact on character generation from cultural traits and attributes. Additional factors are now considered when resolving/choosing from variables during generation.
- Some unit types now have immunity to Terror and/or Unsettling.
- New Unit Type: Deep Ones. Eldritch aquatic fish people.
- New Unit Type: Zoanthralgea. Eldritch aquatic unit with poison attack and strong armor/toughness.
- New Unit Type: Psychopolyps. Eldritch aquatic unit with psychic attack and ability to cause terror.
- New Unit Type: Feral Ogres. Undisciplined and unarmored, but tough and with strong melee damage.
- New Unit Type: Jotnar. Giant-type unit that is slightly larger than Ogres. Limited regeneration and light infantry/scout abilities. Also capable of moderately damaging magic ranged attack.
- New Unit Type: Rime Trolls. Frost-themed trolls with slightly less physical power than "regular" trolls, but having a Cold damage breath attack.
- Various "generic" Ogre units can be generated independently from a specific culture for various events and factions.
- Fixed bug related to equipment bonuses being applied multiple times during some specific sequences of events.
- Fixed an issue where scrolling the Outliner would also scroll the world map.
- Fixed a number of crash and hang bugs.
- Protective Talismans (Tradition): All Tribal units gain +1 Magic Resistance and an additional +1 Dark and Arcane Resistance.
- Slayer Legacy (Tradition): All Tribal units gain Monster Slayer and +50% damage against units which have the Monster ability or one of these tags: Abomination, Magic, Spirit. (Tier 2).

The chance to succeed at this is 5% x Scouting (highest among all units in army), +15% if a Scout Captain is present, +5% if a General is present, +5% if at least one unit has Pathfinder, -5% if the opposing army has Relentless Pursuit. If the opposing army is 200%+ larger: +10%, 100%+ larger: +5%. Cavalry/flyer superiority -20% to +20%. If this succeeds the army is allowed to resolve 25% of ranged attacks and 10% of melee attacks. The casualties inflicted by this cannot exceed 25% of the opposing army. (Tier 2)
- Large Families (Vitality): +15% population growth for camps.
- Auto-resolve now uses the same mechanics and phase rules as manual resolution rather than a greatly modified variation.

Please note that the game is currently in Early Access. Please familiarize yourself with the current state of development, and make sure it matches your expectations, before making a purchase. The description below relates to the design vision for the completed game, and game play described may not yet be implemented, may change in nature or even be completely reworked or removed, during the course of Early Access.
Wizards and Warlords is a turn-based strategy game, where you play as a wizard or a warlord in a fully-realized randomly generated fantasy world. Create a customized sovereign or choose from one of many predefined templates.
Blending grand strategy with aspects of the 4X genre, the game offers a plethora of customizable settings and victory conditions. It is up to you if you want to fight great wars, crushing powerful rivals in the pursuit of world conquest - the challenge of survival in a grim and dangerous world, perhaps even beset by planar invaders and ancient evils - or perhaps, a balanced game, where you control but one of many realms in the world, immersing yourself in an emergent story driven by random events and the interactions of AI personalities.
Manage your cities and fortresses, increase your power through research and industry, design your own regiments or arcane constructs, recruit armies and heroes, explore and exploit dungeons, ruins, and even alternate planes, experience random events and event chains - this game aims to deliver a depth of gameplay and mechanics beyond what is found in mainstream games.
This depth is combined with comprehensive modding support, which allows the creation of custom scenarios, with user-created maps, cultures, races, dungeons, pantheons, ancient evils, nations and organizations. The editor allows you to create everything from scratch or work from a randomly generated starting point.
