Adventurers! How are your quests going? The new Fort Triumph patch for PC introduces several fixes and improvements to the strategic AI, making for more interesting and fun gameplay. You can see the full changelog below.

Changelog:

• Improved performance of strategic AI. The AI will now act iteratively instead of scanning the entire map when deciding on its next action. This performance boost is especially significant in larger maps. This also means that the AI branches out more slowly, and is unlikely to send newly created parties from its town straight to player/AI owned buildings while ignoring everything else in between.
• Increased chances of the strategic AI getting a party back to town to add units. This, along with other changes, makes it much more likely to encounter parties with 4-5 heroes in mid-late game, and makes it much more likely that these parties will contain leveled up heroes.
• Fixed strategic AI behaviour where low cost guild upgrades had a significantly higher chance of being picked over other guild upgrades.
• The strategic AI now tries to synchronize between increasing hero cap limit and party size limit. This fixes the issue where the AI could technically put 4-5 heroes in a party, but wasn't able to do so due to the hero cap limit still being low.
• Slightly increased the base evaluation that the strategic AI gives to getting party size upgrades, making it a bit more likely to get it early, especially on higher difficulties.
• Fixed behaviour of the strategic AI so it'll behave more aggressively towards rival AIs (previously it only took such fights when it had an overwhelming advantage), similarly to how it behaves towards player parties.
• The strategic AI now takes into consideration the number of towns it has when deciding on how many parties it aims to have, allowing it to have more parties in large Skirmish games.
• Added a (moddable) setting in strategic settings for how much the AI tries to increase its hero cap and party size.

Adventurers! Fort Triumph has just received a new patch. Changes that have been so far only available in the Beta Branch are now coming to the full version of the game.

Changelog:

• When a unit is stunned, it gets Stun Protection on the next turn (making consecutive stunning or stun-locking harder). Units with Passive Stun Protection are unaffected by this change.
• Reduced the cooldown of Whirlwind, Grapple Hook, Knockback Arrow, Repelling Shot, Shockwave, and Charge to 2 turns. The cooldown for the Whirlwind Wall upgrade is unaffected by this.
• Increased the cooldown of Kick to 1 turn (so it can still be used every turn but only once per turn).
• Increased the cooldown of Nudge to 2 turns.
• Increased the level requirement of the Whirlwind cooldown upgrade to level 7 (from level 3).
• Perpetuity Shrine no longer increases the duration of Stun Protection.
• Significantly reduced the benefit of physics over regular attacks regarding mission grade.

• Changed Magic Boots to remove the cooldown of Kick.
• Added a new upgrade to Kick that cancels Stun Protection.

• Community: Made strategic AI a bit less aggressive in terms of taking over beetcoin farms and magic extractors.
• Small optimizations to strategic AI.

• Community: Fixed bug where when using a controller, it was possible to purchase buildings/upgrades without enough resources.
• Community: Fixed bug where sometimes when purchasing an upgrade with a controller, the cost was applied twice.
• Community: Fixed bug with Daredevil passive upgrade not working for the duration of the mission in which it is acquired.
• Community: Fixed bug where getting the passive Dash and Slash upgrade during a turn (when Dash and Slash is not on cooldown) caused no AP to be awarded for that turn.
• Community: Fixed bug where the game could get stuck when a unit with the Phoenix trait dies, is resurrected and then levels up in that same battle.
• Fixed Freezing Arrow upgrade not working.
• Fixed the range description of Safe Movement.
• Small performance improvements.
• Community: Fixed bug where sometimes edge-scrolling with the mouse doesn't work on the top and right borders (Mac only).
• Community: Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, faulty texture compression caused the game to crash.
• Community: Added OpenGL support on Windows as fallback if Direct X 11 is causing issues.

Stay up to date:

Adventurers! As part of Fort Triumphs birthday celebration, were coming to you with a brand new patch. The patch introduces several fixes and improvements that make the game more polished than ever. Check out the changelog and see whats new.

Changelog

• Improved fog of war behavior in local versus when AI factions not allied with any of the human players are in game.
• Added two more fullscreen options in settings: Exclusive Fullscreen and Maximized Window (for Macs).
• Added missing localization texts.

• In Act II and Act III, enemy factions now start with leveled up heroes (similarly to the player). The difficulty of neutral fights in these acts has been further increased, based on the difficulty setting. Moreover, units available for purchase (both for a player and the AI) in these acts start at higher levels instead of starting at level 1.
• Increased the cost of Perpetuity Shrine.
• Tweaked the 'It Tolls For Thee' event regular fight to be a little bit easier. Also fixed a bug with this event where enemies did not move forward towards the player while they were inactive.
• Changed the 'The Furnace' event to result in the player getting a trait that is at least somewhat rare. Also fixed a typo in one of its texts.
• Changed Exposure Vial not to be affected by control zone.
• Changed Drunkard and Purist traits to be for ranged units only. This does not affect existing save files.
• Increased the chances for the AI to use the Goblin Shaman's Fortify ability.

• Added level indication when purchasing heroes in town.
• Improved the icon of Purge to indicate that it also removes stun and provides stun immunity.

• Fixed a bug where input was reset to the first controller when returning to the world map from battles.
• A possible fix to UI blinking issue in Linux on some machines.
• Fixes to some rare cases where Overwatch and Attack of Opportunity did not manage to trigger when there were multiple Overwatches/Attacks of Opportunity.
• Fixed a bug with the Purist trait giving +1AP (a fix from the beta branch).
• Fixed a bug with the Purist trait preventing the usage of Safe Movement and Winged Boots abilities. Also enabled using Backpack and Diadem of the Spirit with Purist (as they are strongly related to using physics).
• Fixed a bug with the Purist trait preventing the picking up of potions or interacting with story mission objects.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes, some tiles became unwalkable with a specific unit (till any action was performed).
• Fixed a bug where the ballista could use the 'Safe Movement' ability.
• Fixed a bug where, when upgrading Daredevil Stance to its passive version, the ability was shown twice in the party screen, messing up the ability slots UI.
• When Overwatch misses, it'll never hit an adjacent object instead (even if the unit
• has the Lucky trait). This fixes a bug where the moving unit could get stuck due to the target position to which it tried to move to no longer existing (due to the object being destroyed).
• Fixed typos in German and Russian.
• Fixed the status name of Bloodlust's Dodge Stance upgrade.
• Fixed a bug where Bloodlust's Dodge Stance status was removed when a unit was targeted via an AoE ability, despite a description stating otherwise.
• Fixed an Insatiable Bloodlust description erroneously stating that it is limited to once per turn.
• Fixed the Safe Movement tooltip to show that it costs 1 AP.
• Fixed numbers IV and VI party signs being flipped when the party moves.
• Fixed the description of the Charge ability to be clearer.
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to pick up potions or interact with orbs with enemy units adjacent to them.
• Fixed a bug where in The Gobshank Redemption, the goblin burglar could gain XP during the battle (which was lost at the end of it).
• Changed the tooltips of artifacts in the end act window to show detailed artifact information.
• Fixed the issue with the stun icon being too low for the last boss.
• Slightly improved the difficulty assessment of story missions.
• Sorted out the range description of abilities to be clearer (and with no localization errors).
• Fixed small visual glitches in the Crypt world map.
• Fixed a bug where the 'Blinded' status didn't stack with itself.
• Fixed a description describing why abilities cannot be used when a unit has the Purist or Offensive traits.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the game got (temporarily) stuck on a physics calculation ('Game got stuck on Physics' pop-up).

• Minor performance improvements.
• Improved loading times of the world map by around 20%.
• Fixed memory leaks.
• Partially fixed the deterioration of loading times in long game sessions.

Greetings everyone, Wed like to introduce you to Fort Triumph's beta branch. Now you can test out potential new changes! Players can try out this beta branch by right-clicking on the game in your Steam client and selecting closedbeta - Beta branch build for community feedback in the properties menu. A more in-depth explanation can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/612570/discussions/3/3113647550051436121/ The new beta significantly impacts gameplay, particularly for veteran players who have learned to rely on Physics. Everyone is welcome to try it and provide their feedback, either on the discussion board or in our Discord. Your thoughts will determine the direction in which Fort Triumph will go in the future. The main change players will encounter is the addition of stun protection to stunned enemies once they recover from the stun effect, making consecutive stuns much harder to pull off. While a big part of what makes Fort Triumph fun is the physics system, it also causes the game to be somewhat repetitive due to Physics almost always being the best course of action. Over the years we've tried restricting the use of Physics via cooldowns, limited use, etc. But all these solutions either didn't work or seemed to take the fun out of the game. With the new beta branch, we took a different approach that makes other options such as debuffing or killing enemies more viable. We also changed the grading system accordingly so Physics would not be mandatory for getting high grades. We also balanced the cooldowns of the physics abilities of melee and ranged units so the balance wouldn't be lopsided towards melee units. The complete list of changes the beta introduces is as follows:

• When a unit is stunned, it gets Stun Protection on the next turn (making consecutive stunning or stun-locking harder). Units with Passive Stun Protection are unaffected by this change.
• Reduced cooldown of Whirlwind, Grapple Hook, Knockback Arrow, Repelling Shot, Shockwave, and Charge to 2 turns. The cooldown for the Whirlwind Wall upgrade is unaffected by this.
• Increased the cooldown of Kick to 1 turn (so it can still be used every turn but only once per turn).
• Increased the cooldown of Nudge to two turns.
• Increased the level requirement of the Whirlwind cooldown upgrade to level 7 (from level 3).
• Perpetuity Shrine no longer increases the duration of Stun Protection.
• Significantly reduced the benefit of physics over regular attacks regarding mission grade.

Changes

• Added local versus multiplayer support. The co-op button has been replaced with a multiplayer one. Previous save files, which used a shared inventory, are backward compatible - the inventory is simply duplicated for all players.
• Inventory is no longer shared between allied factions in co-op.
• Added the ability to delete save files.

Balance

• Roofs/arcs falling on units/objects no longer auto-kill them, but instead inflict 35 damage.
• Middle tier battles on Normal difficulty can no longer have top tier enemy units in them.
• Reduced the weight of Champions and Skeleton swordsmen so they'll be pushed a bit further.

UI

• Improved controller navigation to be a bit smoother and fixed some highlighting issues in menus.
• Improved controller navigation in the parties transfer screen to be more consistent with transferring units in the town screen.
• Updated some old UI elements to be consistent with newer ones.
• Replaced the 'X' button from the parties transfer screen with a 'Cancel' button, making it less likely for players to unintentionally cancel a transfer.

Bug fixes

• Updated the Unity engine version, which should eliminate all crashes relating to tooltip videos.
• Fixed a rare bug where the second mission in act 3 didn't finish when all heroes were inside the evacuation area.
• Diadem of the Spirit no longer affects the cost of physical abilities that don't cost AP.
• Fixed a bug where the Determined trait overrode the Resurrection Amulet artifact.
• Fixed a bug where the passive abilities of enemy units did not always apply, specifically faction passives (for example, sometimes skeleton enemies could still bleed despite their faction passive ability stating that they are immune to bleeding).
• Fixed a bug where the Cocky trait was always triggered regardless of the difficulty rating of a fight.
• Fixed some memory leaks.
• Fixed a bug where ability tooltips in the skill tree sometimes used the abilitys upgrade instead of the abilitys name.
• Rain's Static Electricity upgrade no longer causes enemies to activate before they start an attack phase (though it still inflicts damage).
• Rain's Thunderstorm can no longer target non-visible enemies (it can still target non-activated enemies that are visible).
• Changed the level requirement of Coming of Age from 9 to 8 (so it can be reached in Act I of the campaign).
• Fixed a bug where moving a unit, switching to another unit, and then selecting an ability, caused the selected ability to get deselected when the first unit finished moving.
• Fixed a bug where the Feng Shui achievement was not triggered when using Shock Wave on a lifted object/unit.
• Fixed a bug where Whirlwind Wall was considered as a basic physical ability and so could trigger achievements that require basic physical abilities.
• Fixed a bug where 'Happily Ever After (Normal)' was triggered when finishing the game on Easy difficulty.
• Improved world map generation so it'll be very unlikely for objects such as magic extractors to spawn on roads.
• Fixed the end button becoming grayed out if opening the game's menu during the AI's turn in the world map.
• Fixed a bug where pressing esc quickly twice (opening the menu and then hiding it before it finishes fading in) made the menu unresponsive to mouse input on opening it again.
• Fixed a bug where the AI could still perform actions in the world map while the game is paused.
• Added a delay at the start of faction battles so it'll be possible to see the heroes before they cast Brace/Overwatch, and also so in case of the AI starting first, the AI won't start playing before the loading screen finishes fading out.
• Fixed a bug where the Cursed status was not considered as a debuff (and thus was not canceled by the Purged status).
• Fixed a bug where there was a duplicated controller highlight upon removing a player in the Skirmish menu.
• Fixed a bug where tooltips for inventory slots didn't refresh upon changing the artifact in the inventory slot.
• Changed the description of party size upgrades so it'll be clearer that they do not increase hero cap.
• Fixed the description of Bloodlust not specifying that it is limited to once per turn.
• Adjusted the description of Exemplar's blade to be clearer regarding its permanent bleeding effect applying to the unit itself.
• Changed Rain's 'Static Electricity' upgrade description to be clearer.
• Fixed the erroneous description of the Coward trait.
• Fixed text in shot breakdown being faulity in Polish localization.
• Fixed AP related effects in ability descriptions not having an icon.
• Fixed a bug where camera movement could be lost if playing with a controller when a cinematic effect was triggered.
• Changed the cinematics camera so it would not play when triggering overwatch of enemy units to avoid obstructing the players view.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes in the 'With or Without You' event there were holes in the terrain.
• Fixed a bug where switching faction colors with controllers didn't work.
• Fixed some visual artifacts in the towns UI.
• Fixed a bug where the party sign for the 4th and 6th party didn't work properly.
• Fixed the indication of the Coming of Age scenario showing sometimes the wrong reward icon.
• Fixed a bug with the pop-up of 'The Furnace' event when choosing the effect for the entire party.
• Added sounds to some UI elements that didn't have them. (There's still more work on that front)
• Changed the color of the text in the skill tree screen that specifies hero level limit in the campaign so it would be more noticeable.
• Fixed visual glitches for Troll Barbarian when using some color customizations.
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to open the ability selection menu using a controller even when there weren't enough skill points to purchase one.
• Fixed a bug where when switching between the world map and towns, the music clip reverted back to the start instead of continuing uninterrupted.

If theres any game that qualifies for the Labor of Love category in this years Steam Awards, Fort Triumph is definitely the one. Have you cast your vote for it already? You still have time until tomorrow, December 1. Your support means a lot to us! Although it was officially released and considered done in April of this year, Fort Triumphs journey began long ago, back in 2017. Three years before its official release, we launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds that would allow us to complete the game, and you, the community, answered. With your excitement and support for Fort Triumph we completed a very successful Kickstarter campaign and were able to release the game in Early Access a year later in 2018. From that time we continued to labor over Fort Triumph with an abundance of love. With your feedback and involvement we launched 24 updates over the course of Fort Triumphs Early Access period, polishing the game to be the challenging and innovative turn-based experience it is today, with the systems in the game completely overhauled. And we didnt stop there! We continue to toil over Fort Triumph to make it the best game it can possibly be to this day! Since its release this April, weve released a major update that introduced new locations, events, traits and unique battle types, while balancing the game further. Were also working on porting Fort Triumph to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch by 2021, so the work goes on. We hope that when the time comes for you to cast your vote in the Labor of Love category, youll show that Fort Triumph is not only a labor of our love, but yours as well. Because we went on this long gamedev journey together. <3

Changelog

Content

• Added 27 new locations/events in the worldmap, with new features:
• It is now possible to add/remove traits from heroes via these encounters.
• Some of these encounters supply unique battles, such as Physics only battles, meaning only objects can be used (for both player and AI).
• Some of the options available for players are locked based on whether any of the heroes in the party have a required trait. If you have the Elastic trait, you can have your hero train without suffering health loss from straining your back. If you are Coldhearted, instead of saving someone from a horde of undead, you can wait till they're done with him and pillage his body. If you are Possessed, you can visit a Haunted house with no ramifications.
• Added 29 new traits for heroes. Also adjusted their rarities and introduced a scale for how positive or negative a trait is.
• Heroes can now have up to 3 traits.

Balance

• When fighting other factions, the side that does not play first starts with Overwatch/Brace for all its units.
• When playing on Classic/Legendary, the faction that starts first is the faction that initiated the fight, instead of being always the player.

AI

• Tweaked the Goblin Shaman AI, allowing it to more properly use its abilities, especially regarding the Fortify ability.
• Tweaked AI evaluation of the Frighten ability. Specifically, it no longer gives high value for cancelling attacks of opportunity.
• Improved AI behaviour so it won't use "fallback abilities" (such as Overwatch or Brace) when it has better options.
• Fixed AI behaviour of Spitting Spiders so they'll prefer attacking from a melee range instead of sustaining Attack of Opportunity.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Goblin Bomber to behave weirdly sometimes.
• To avoid confusion, there are now some traits (both positive and negative) that the enemy AI heroes can never acquire, or can only acquire on higher difficulties. Most notable is the Debater trait (which resulted in the unit retaliating on being hit/killed) that enemy AI heroes can no longer acquire.

UI

• Tweaked controller mapping a bit for more consistent behavior.
• Improved inventory management with the controller to be a bit easier to use.
• Updated the UI of pop-ups in the worldmap to be clearer.

Bug Fixes

• Possible bug fix for tooltip video-related crashes. The fix is a workaround to a bug in the Unity Engine, which the Unity team is now working on a proper fix for. It will hopefully be available soon.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes there was a considerable slow-down when starting some story missions in the first act. Also fixed some objects being invisible in these missions.
• Fixed a bug with the cinematic camera sometimes messed up the time-scale (gradually slowing down the game).
• Fixed a bug where sometimes controller button indications were shown in the party screen even when no controller was connected.
• Fixed a bug where progress was lost between part 1 and part 2 of the last mission in act II.
• Fixed bugs with the Scepter of Invincibility not working properly and potentially making the game become stuck in some scenarios.
• Fixed scrolling in the inventory with the mouse wheel.
• Added momentum to the joystick cursor.
• Slightly increased strategic joystick speed.
• Reduced tactical joystick speed (this is compensated by the momentum build up).
• Fixed a few glitches in worldmap content.
• Fixed a bug with floating rocks in some forest tactical areas.
• Fixed a bug with faulty-positioned trees in some goblin village areas.
• Fixed some bugs with the resurrection amulet, such as cooldowns being reset on resurrection, or a unit not resurrecting if two units with an amulet die at the same time at the same spot.

• Fixed a bug where on selecting an ability when leveling up, its effect didn't always apply immediately (for example when taking Evasive Instincts it didn't protect the unit from a reaction attack on the first turn).
• Fixed a bug where activation on the start of abilities was sometimes cancelled, so, for example, enemy hero units wouldn't always start with stun protection.
• Fixed the behavior of path avoidance where sometimes the movement path suggested didn't avoid Overwatch/Attack of Opportunity even when possible (without using extra APs).
• Fixed a bug where it was not possible to use Daredevil Stance after using Brace.
• Reduced the volume of the page turn sound effect, and muffled it a bit.
• Removed Health potion from the last segment of the tutorial (as it's no longer possible to use it).

• Fixed localization not working properly in some cases.
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to drag the progression bar of an ability in the skill tree.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes starting a solo skirmish game (with no AI), map generation would fail and the game would get stuck.
• Fixed a bug where if Abstevan died in the third mission of act III and then the player also fails in the mission (all heroes being killed), upon restarting Abstevan did not spawn and it was impossible to complete the mission. This bug fix is not retroactive.
• Fixed a beet farm upgrade giving only +75 beetcoins instead of +125 beetcoins.
• Fixed a bug where the number of towns could be less than the number of factions.
• Fixed the behavior of re-entering the Skirmish advanced menu so it keeps data from previous runs.

Gameplay:

• Improved controller support across the board.

Balance:

• Increased difficulty of neutral fights in Act II and Act III. Also improved the AI starting point in these acts.
• Fire Blast is no longer affected by the Power stat, as it resulted in it doing very high damage with the melee classes due to their high Power value. It now does a fixed 3 points of damage (not including the damage from the burning status).
• Reduced the drain effect of Black crystal from 8HP to 4HP.
• Added 'Passive Stun Protection' to House Spiders (similarly to Trolls).
• Goblin Shaman channeling Healing abilities now also provide Stun protection to the Shaman.

UI:

• Added the tooltip of 'Available only in Skirmish' for factions in the campaign menu.
• Added tooltips with the passive ability of each faction.
• Video tooltips are now automatically hidden when rotating the camera with a controller and not just when moving it.
• Added a 'Modding' setting to Build Settings, allowing to have the game automatically refresh changes made in the game's setting files without restarting the game.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug with stacking of two Essence Harvesters, which instead of just doubling the effect resulting in it ramping up quickly over time.
• Fixed bug where in some cases, building construction started by the AI could get stuck in that state forever upon capturing the town.
• Fixed bug where pressing 'X' with a controller without a direction resulted in building a building in the Fort slot.
• Fixed bug where negative beacon status affected the Accuracy stat instead of the Evade stat.
• Added missing controller support for act end window.
• Fixed broken highlighting for buttons in battle message popups.
• Fixed incorrect message in segment 3 of the tutorial when playing with a controller.
• When disabling 'Auto camera', the camera now still follows the cursor when playing with a controller (as it's not possible to move the camera separately).
• Fixed bug where sometimes a 'No Sight' indication is shown when an ability is not applicable not because of lack of sight.
• Fixed bug where, when navigating with a controller in the skill tree, the selection was retained when opening the 'new ability' menu, resulting in the tooltip for the selected upgrade still showing.
• Fixed bug where, when using a controller, if the mouse cursor was on a UI element that had a tooltip, that tooltip would override the tooltip for the currently selected element with the controller.
• Fixed alignment of the single trait icon in the hero slot card.
• Fixed bug where it was possible to open the party screen in town with a controller even when there were no heroes in it.
• Fixed bug where it was not possible to create a new party using a controller.

Performance:

Hello, Adventurers!

Greetings, Adventurers!

Fort Triumph is only out for a couple of days and our amazing community has already given us enough feedback to prepare our first patch! Let's take a quick look at what we've done in the past few days:

Balance:

• Reduced Worldmap AI aggression, especially on Easy/Normal. Also tweaked down its capabilities on all difficulty levels except Legendary.
• Towns with the Citadel/Castle upgrades now provide defense even when there are no heroes in them.
• Defending units in towns with the Citadel/Castle upgrades now no longer require there to be a hero in town.
• Reduced the difference between amount of resources the player and AI start with on Legendary.
• Increased the beetcoin cost of 'Survival Instructor Hit' from 800 to 1000, and also made it so the AI will only buy this building on Legendary.
• Removed stat bonuses from Citadel and Castle upgrades. Fixed difficulty evaluation for such battles being wrong.
• Shortened and reduced the difficulty of the first mission in act III.

UI/UX:

• Added tooltips for artifacts in popups (not all though yet).
• Restored ability to zoom in/out in the worldmap. However the default zoom is closest zoom possible.
• Zoom is now saved across battles in tactical.
• Fixed indication in party tooltips, so it'll show for heroes their level (instead of showing an approximate of tier III).

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug where using Prod resulted in UI disappearing.
• Potentially fixed crashes upon hovering over ability icons relating to codecs used for tooltip videos.
• Potentially fixed random crashes relating to issues with GPU.
• Fixed possible crash due to video player. This is a workaround and does not actually fix the underlying problem, but makes it so disabling video tooltips work for avoiding it.
• Fixed bug where buffs/debuffs from events could carry across acts (and then potentially last quite a while till their expiration date arrives).
• Fixed bug where Fire Shard and Ice Wand did not have a limited use count.
• Fixed bug where using Diadem of the Spirit resulted in the game being stuck in slow motion.
• Fixed issues with localization where some texts used the wrong fonts, resulting in the characters showing as empty squares.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases it was not possible to finish the last mission of Act II (game got stuck at the ending screen).
• Fixed Consistent trait being limited to 5% effect instead of 25%.
• Fixed tooltip in town for locked building stating 'Already owned' instead of 'Locked'. This will further be improved later with an explanation as to why is the building locked.
• Fix bug with Citadel/Castle upgrade not showing immediately in the worldmap.
• Fixed some bugs in the minimap where the indications for Towns were inaccurate (in shape), and where parties had "left-overs" in the minimap upon moving for the first time after entering the worldmap (via loading or returning from tactical battles)
• Fixed bug where it was not possible to get the Worldly achievement. The bug fix is retroactive, so for those who already completed the requirements the achievement will be granted automatically after the update upon entering main menu.
• Fixed bug where it was not possible to get the Sharpshooter achievement.
• Fixed bug where the game could be stuck on Tutorial with a controller.
• Fixed bug where on entering the worldmap for the first time with a controller, it was not possible to move anything without first clicking (on anything) with the mouse.
• Fixed support of Town Window for super ultrawide aspect ratios. This also fixes tooltips being sometimes too large in that aspect ratio.
• Fixed bug where the exploding barrel in Goblin environment did not use the correct VFX and had no SFX upon exploding. Also made is so it's clearer that it can explode.
• Fixed bug where tooltips for difficulty setting in Skirmish/Campaign menu did not work.
• Fixed bug where tooltips for resources in the top bar in the worldmap did not work.
• Fixed missing texture in the shield of Goblin Paladins.
• Fixed some bugs with text tags showing in some places.
• Fixed bug where Blinding Amult and Evasive Instincts Blinding upgrades shown an indication of -40 even for units that are immune to blinding (even though it had no effect on them).
• Fixed alignment of ability tooltips in skilltree so they won't be cut-off by the bottom/top edges of the screen.
• Fixed bug where Winged Boots was not available when the unit had 0AP (despite costing nothing).
• Fixed multiple bugs with Wings of Meritocracy that caused it to trigger more than it should.
• Fixed faulty tooltip video of Repulse's final upgrade.
• Fixed Rain's Static Electricity effect specifying that it affects Chain Lightning. The fix is currently only in English.
• Fixed erroneous descriptions of some abilities provided by artifacts.

Fort Triumph version 1.0 is finally released. Two years in Early Access and a couple more since its humble beginnings. The small but dedicated team of CookieByte, joined by All In!

• Fixed behaviour of Purge so it'll properly supply immunity from negative statuses.
• Fixed status indicators being visible for invisible units.
• Fixed bugs with Rain and its upgrades not working properly.
• Fixed support for negative armor (so when armor is negative, the unit will sustain extra damage).

• Controller support is not always convenient in some places. As these things will be sorted out towards console release, they will be backported to the PC version.
• Save files should work with the new version, but we strongly recommend starting a new game (because of the extra content and in act one specifically because of the extra mission). Backward compatibility is not guaranteed.

Gameplay

• Major improvement to fire effects performance which was burning up system resources, there's still work to be done but it's much better than it was.
• The first round of Steam Achievements has been introduced, we have plenty more coming, this first batch is focused on physics and general basic achievements. Suggest more ideas in our forums!

Greetings, brave heroes

New Features

• Completed the first chapter of our main campaign, you may now reach and access several new missions including the battle for Fort Triumph. As always - this is the first iteration and we intend to polish it greatly in the coming weeks.
• Implemented new Skill Trees - with multiple new abilities and ability upgrades, new buffs and debuffs and more. Currently, you unlock ability slots as you level up your party, and can select which abilities and upgrades each hero will have.

• Environment Variation added - bridge battles will now be fought in actual bridge levels.

• Naturally there are many more and we will keep polishing and adding more of them

Performance

Thank you for the outstanding reporting these last couple of weeks - we've gotten tons of valuable help in spotting and fixing many bugs related to the new systems introduced in 0.8.0.

Bug Fixes

Demo Update

Hail, Brave Warriors!

Key Features

• Party Management / Roster - there is no longer a limit to the number of units that belong to your party. Instead, you can choose which units are active and participate in a given mission - up to four heroes and one mercenary as before. Note that during tactical missions this interface will not be active seeing as you cannot switch units during combat.
• Inventory - the first iteration grants each unit two equipment slots which can fit tactical usable items (IE potions) or unique artifacts from the party's shared stash.
• Once completing a mission, any potions remaining in the level will be moved to the party's shared stash.
• Hero Customization - You can now rename your units. We have also implemented some color variations to differentiate similar units - currently random but we're working on an interface to allow you to control it and other customization options down the road.
• Added initial Artifacts, unique items changing mechanics in interesting ways. We have a long list coming and you are welcome to suggest more ideas at the forums.

Content Progress

• Mission 4 (Mages and the Breach) has been rewritten and now has two fully operational routes you can choose from depending on which faction you want to support.
• Added a new scripted mission (Goblin Hunt) which is played in a new environment variation - a goblin camp. Goblin camp is currently unavailable for random encounters and we'll be testing it with this mission.
• Added a new scripted side mission - The Wishing Well. Look for it in world map wells!

Bug Fixes and QoL

• Fixed snowy environment friction and objects will now get pushed farther appropriately.
• Controller mapping redone for clarity - end turn will now be on select/back/view rather than B/circle like before.
• Hit chance will now always display when an attack is performed.
• Fixed a bug which caused faction hubs to not refresh their recruits.
• Changed weight of some objects for more consistent physics behavior.
• AI improvements, especially to allied AI.
• Fixed a bug which caused a Leap movement to not trigger Overwatch as intended.
• Fixed a bug with lift causing it to cost 1AP even if lifting an object on the spot without moving it.
• Added card images for multiple foes, and new portraits for Gharbarak and Scavenger.
• Camera no longer moves during dialogues where all units are on screen and close to each other.

Greetings, Adventurers

UI & Debugging

Hail, Adventurers

UI

• Based on your feedback, we implemented an initial indicator showing the direction an object will be pushed or toppled towards while planning an action. This is merely a first step and a more comprehensive UI solution is in the works.

• Iterated the overwatch trigger indicator to make it more easily noticable.
• While hovering over enemy cards, units will be highlighted following community feedback.
• When selecting a ranged enemy, his range will be displayed in UI. We plan to replace this with a solution showing both movement and firing range down the road.

Changes

• Once revealed, enemies will remain visible even while out of sight. This is a measure to prevent enemies activating and immediately going off the grid to surprise players in later turns.
• The tops of walls in crypt levels will now be blocked for movement.

• Fixed a bug hanging the game when dialogue plays while in cinematic camera (most often spotted in prologue cave mission).
• Fixed the Telekinesis of Opportunity bug which allowed ranged AoO by melee heroes.
• Fixed a bug which removed buffs gained on the world map too quickly.
• Blinding Light (Paladin ability) will not require direct line of sight as intended.
• Fixed an overwatch indicator bug which didn't display it in some edge cases, especially when overwatch triggered immediately on the first tile of movement.
• Fixed a broken tile in the final room of the prologue which enabled the boss to move through the platform.

Greetings, Warriors

UI



• Prioritized and implemented following your feedback - we added a UI indicator marking the tile in which your moving hero will suffer an enemy Overwatch Shot or Attack of Opportunity.
  

  Prologue

  
  
• Prologue rebalancing - Tweaked prologue for better user experience and flow, tweaked encounters following player feedback and metrics.
• Prologue replenishment - in the main campaign, you can recruit new heroes on the world map. While the prologue does not take place on the map, we wanted to provide you with a similar way to keep the good fight going, and for now - restarting a prologue mission will revive all dead party members.
• Prologue fixes - Fixed several bugs in the final chamber of the prologue (Claude's room) where enemies had free turns and some tiles were broken.
• Object breaking visuals were added for some that were missing it.
• Object HP and hitboxes fixed where missing.

  Bug Fixes

  
  
• Fixed overwatch overkill bug - when the first overwatch shot kills an enemy, the next one should now hold for further movement.
• Fixed Attack of Opportunity bug which triggered falsely on enemy movement into melee range. AoO now triggers properly on enemy movement FROM a tile adjacent to a melee hero to another adjacent tile or away from the melee hero.

What's next?

Greetings fellow adventurers! Our campaign on Kickstarter is in full gear, and we just passed the 33% mark with over 600 backers! We are thankful to all of you for supporting us, playing our game and sending your feedback. Please keep spreading the word and let your tactics loving friends know about our demo - we just updated it following your suggestions and requests. Gameplay Updates One of the biggest changes we made is adding the Lift basic ability, accessible to all heroes for the cost of 1 Action Point, allowing players to move an adjacent small object, ally or enemy to another adjacent tile. Lift enables many new combinations and also makes it easier to aim and hit environmentals and kicks by adjusting the angle before launching the attack. We also added a level up interface to allow players to choose which new ability they get every time they level up. It's a temporary thing, just until we can implement the character sheets we're working on, but we wanted you to have access to your favorite abilities quickly with each playthrough. New demo! 0.5.5 changelog New Features:

• The player can now choose between two abilities upon level up
• Added the Lift ability which allows moving nearby objects a short distance.

• Added more rooms to caves and changed existing ones.
• Frighten now cancels overwatchattack of opportunity.

• Narrow hallways, the greatest bane of enormous spiders, are now less likely to occur. Also made enormous spiders slightly less enormous so they can pass narrow hallways anyhow.

• The player can now select whether to use a controller or the mouse at the
• start of the main menu.
• Fixed the mouse not showing on main menu bug.
• Removed "feature" of opening chests through walls.
• Fixed missing interact animation of Gharbarak.

• Fixed poison visuals remaining after the effect wore off.

• Fully Interactive environments at your disposal - push, topple, grapple, burn, freeze and crash your way through interactive levels that play into your tactics.
  
• Heroes evolving by learning new abilities from their class skilltree - As they gain experience, your heroes learn new skills and abilities, making them more versatile in combat. Since each hero is unique, the right combination of heroes in a party is crucial to victory and you will need to balance your heroes' strengths and weaknesses to bring out their full potential.
  
• Non-linear, contextually generated missions and quests - Fort Triumph features flexible campaigns with changing locations, events and quests influenced by the player’s choices. Missions are procedurally generated to ensure each battle is unique and calls for a new plan.
