The below list presents some of the recent fixes and updates which were released:
UPDATE: ALL terrains in Dwarven and Forest campaign have been enhanced by Willisama! He did great job behind the scenes and added great amount of details to all maps.
NEW: Relics - those are extremely rare items which give unusual and powerful spells such as Lifredrain Cloud and Nightmare spells. Those are hidden in rare Magic Treasure Chests.
NEW: Earth Quake and Volcano battle conditions.
NEW: Localization - as some of you might have noticed there is Select language in Configurations now. Currently only English is selectable, but we are working on additional languages.
NEW: Ambrosia - when equipped, dying unit will recover 3-5 HP (auto-activable).
NEW: Standstill Liquid - something for your archers, while active, this potion guarantees critical hits.
NEW: Magic Resistance Potion and Magic Immunity Potions - thats expanding collection of potions for all you drunks. Aside from cancelling all magical enhancements, unit is protected from magic for a short duration.
NEW: new (much better looking!) potion icons.
NEW: Collector upgrade - two additional artefacts or trophies. Available only for selected heroes only.
NEW: Barkskin - exchange attack for defence (only Ents and Sapprolings).
NEW: Crystal Mine - new location to explore. After defeating Undead (hard battle!) it will continuously provide resources for your party.
UPDATE: enemy teams will spawn closer in random battles. Also, random battles were made smaller - this is to avoid delays before actual combat.
UPDATE: Dispel Magic does cause loss of 2-4 MP (increased per level, not completely zero MP as before).
UPDATE: Sacrifice gives +4 MP and doesnt use turn action.
UPDATE: much stronger summons - they not only carry spellcasters experience level, but also unlock special attributes.
UPDATE: heroes can equip up to four artefacts and trophies.
BUGFIX: mouse clicks and tooltips wont cause endless loop.
BUGFIX: intro conversation in battles was sometimes causing game crash.
UPDATE: Nullify Magic causes Mana Burn only on enemies.
