Major Update - New Towns Hero Traits (0.12.0.1)

Hail, Adventurers!

We're fighting on, through winter or as it is right now, extreme heat, and the work is paying off! Time for another major update, and 0.12.0.1 is introducing two of the systems we've been waiting for the longest. The first is a system we knew we're going to have since the very start - Hero Traits, random perks that change specific heroes and differentiate them in interesting ways. While a few are mostly cosmetic, many are actually game changing, and since each hero will draw 2 random traits out of the pool (the first batch has 17 but we'll be adding many more) - we're going to have more varied gameplay right away.

The second major change is in how towns operate and look like internally. Town interface and menus have been reworked from the ground up, buildings have visual representations as they are built, and each town will have slots that need to be cleared up before structures can be constructed there.

We'd love to hear your feedback about these changes, and the easiest way is over at our Discord, join us there and share some thoughts!

Major Changes (0.11.2.2 Hotfix + 0.12.0.1)

Save files from previous versions will not work in 0.12.0.1
An initial pool of 17 Hero Traits introduced, more coming very soon.
Starting heroes will randomly get 2 traits from the growing pool.
Buildings now appear in towns after being constructed.
Buildings now have a 1 turn base construction time and will not instantly appear.
Towns now have building slots, slots should be cleared before used for construction.
Factions now have a maximum number of heroes they can have across all armies, which can be raised by upgrading their fort.
Renown is back as a resource! You get it in fights, and spend it to get guild upgrades.
Tactical Ability bar upgraded with better UI and differentiation between active and passive effects, will also display traits and artifacts now.

Added a strategic layer tutorial as well as multiple new helpful tooltips.
New music tracks added to our campaign intro.
New guild upgrades added.
New artifacts added.
New events added.

Balance

Neutral groups on the world map can now be composed of multiple creature types rather than just one.
Cages will now yield heroes instead of creatures, if there's no room in your party, a new one will be formed instantly.

AI will now value slowing and speeding effect slightly less. For example, Wizards are less likely to use Frostbite over their regular attack.
Grapple Hook now has an accuracy bonus.
Increased daily Beetcoin income from towns and farms.
Slightly increased the mean magic provided weekly by the Magic Distillery (2-4 instead of 1-4).
Starting resources reduced.
Player factions will start a skirmish game with a single party of 3 heroes.
Building prices changed.

Technical

Slime and Freeze slower animation removed following feedback.
Visual and sound effects upgraded for many abilities and attacks.
Physics have been sped up, associated bug eliminated (see below).
Loading times improved, especially for story missions.
Improved text layout for non-English languages, more readable font too.
Updated multiple ability icons.

Bugs Squashed

Skirmish mode will no longer sometimes spawn a high difficulty fight near your initial spawn's nearest town.
Bleeding effects from different sources will now stack properly. For example, using an ability which causes bleeding and having a bonus bleeding damage from a building will stack.
AI parties will no longer sometimes lose units after a player battle (in some cases it happened even to parties not participating in that battle).
Fixed the diagonal kicks physics bug reported in recent weeks, at a small performance cost - we'll optimize this in the following weeks.
Fixed a bunch of tooltip visual bugs.
Insatiable Bloodlust will now properly yield a single AP rather than occasionally providing 2.

We're happy with progress overall, and hope you are too :) The next major update is planned for next month, and among other things we're going to introduce physics-using enemies. Other than that - optimization is the name of the game, and we have a lot of ground to cover in the next couple of months.

For now have fun, and please report bugs you encounter as well as share your thoughts with us either directly, in our forums or over at our Discord server. Thank you! Onwards!

Fort Triumph is a tactical RPG emphasizing the use of Environmental Interactions to create rich, challenging and rewarding tactical gameplay. In the game, you command a party of chosen heroes who set out to change the world, one quest at a time. On your path you will explore the world, discover ancient secrets, and face down any enemy who stand in your path to glory through turn based tactical combat.

In Fort Triumph, every crate and every tree is a potential weapon in the hands of experienced tacticians: in order to succeed, you will have to burn, freeze, topple, kick around or outright destroy the scenery at the right moment.

Our game includes:

Hardcore tactical turn-based gameplay - You lead a chosen party of heroes, each with a different set of abilities and a unique playstyle. Your party of heroes will face challenges and win missions by completing diverse objectives in tiled procedural maps.
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.
Strategic gameplay and world map exploration - Fort Triumph is set in an original fantasy world, one being warped and changed by magical forces threatening to consume it. Between one battle and the next, you will explore and discover the world and learn its secrets.
