General Changes

Gameplay Changes

  • The turbulence of the crosshair is now less affected by randomness and more by the aiming accuracy (crossbows and throwing weapons will be more accurate when held steady).
  • Increased throwing weapons missile damages (from 1.8 to 2.2) (Increases damages only when thrown but not in melee mode).
  • Increased throwing axes missile speeds (2x faster).
  • Increased "ReadySpeed" (1.75 to 1.85) (ready animations of weapons are faster now).
  • Increased "ReleaseSpeed" (1.3 to 1.4) (attack animations of weapons are faster now).
  • The steadiness of the couch lance is now affected by the riders “Polearm” skill (if the skill is low, the couch lance will shake more when engaged).
  • The animation duration for when riders fall of their horses (forcefully dismounted) has been increased from a 1-2s duration to 2.2-2.9s duration (this will make it slower for riders to get up, leaving them vulnerable for a longer period).
  • Reduced fall damage by 20% and reduced the amount of fall damage the rider of a mount takes if it receives fall damage by 10% (stacks with the overall fall damage reduction).
  • Increased the inaccuracy of ranged weapons on horseback while riding (has no effect when your horse is standing still).
  • Increased headshot damage multiplier for piercing damage (from 1.2 to 1.7).
  • Horse drift now depends on the horses “Maneuver” value and riders “Riding” skill.
  • Matchmaking now scales down the player limit while searching if the desirable player count is not met. 6v6 scales down to 5v5, 4v4 and 3v3 over time. When the players are in the game, the matchmaker will try to join searching players to the game in the warmup. In this state, the new warmup time is 5 minutes.

Crash Uploader
The Crash Uploader is now live. If your game crashes you can use this tool to send us the key files we need to diagnose the crash. The key files are:

dump.dmp: The file that contains the current state of the game when the crash happens along with all the important information that we need to understand the issue and open the process on our end.
descriptions.txt: The description players provided along.
engine_config.txt: The engine preferences that was currently set when the crash happened.
module_config.txt: The module (Native) preferences that were currently set when the crash happened.
module_list.txt: The OS related module .dll information that was used by the game when the crash happened.
rgl_log.txt: Engine log that helps us describe where the game crashed.
rgl_log_errors.txt: Engine log which only consists of errors that happened.
user_config.txt: Additional user dedicated rgl_config related information that was currently set when the crash happened.

After a crash, you will be seeing a dialogue window. You should click to ‘Yes’ and wait until the process is over. The files the tool uploads are 15-30 MB average size and the upload time will change depending on the upload speed.

General Changes

Gameplay Changes:

AI Overhaul:
  • Order-Fighting Defensiveness Relation:
    • Agent AI fighting defensiveness is now affected by the order they are given as a formation. This defensiveness is not about whether to stand ground or actively engage but more about how likely the agent is to attack vs. parry and similar personal combat decisions.
    • Movement orders other than charge will increase defensiveness. Arrangement orders: shield wall, circle and square will increase defensiveness as well. The effect is cumulative.
  • Engaging in Melee vs Proceeding to Order Position for Infantry:
    • Infantry troops were very likely to ignore or rather keep going while very half-heartedly fighting enemies that blocked their path when given a new position to go to. They will now be more likely to engage in melee if the enemy is between themselves and where they are ordered to go to. They will still be likely to try to proceed to their order position as soon as the enemy moves out of the way or is eliminated.
  • Cavalry Joining in the Fray:
    • Mounted troops would always try to put a distance between themselves, gain momentum and charge at enemies when fighting. Now under certain conditions, they are allowed to engage in melee without disengaging.
    • If their target is also mounted and they are being chased or they have lost speed they may engage in melee.
    • They will not perform this behaviour against infantry unless the enemy infantry is at the location where they are ordered to hold (through a move order or during a follow order where they are where they need to be). In this case, instead of moving away from their position to gain momentum and come back with a charge, they will stand and fight. This can be used to order a mounted formation to go where an enemy formation is and have them engage and stand and fight after the initial charge. If the same group were ordered to charge they would constantly try to charge back and forth instead of staying in melee.
  • AI units’ targeting decisions have been made more logical.
  • Units using polearms are now aiming to the horses of the cavalry units when attacking. Their attack timings while using polearms are also improved.
  • Shield usage for AI has been made more effective.
  • Formations can now charge, fire from distance and go to positions without breaking the shield wall formation.
  • Agents now behave more logically when switching their weapons.
  • Ranged troops (bow, crossbow and throwing weapons) are now spending less time on aiming. The positioning when aiming these weapons also improved.
  • Polearm thrusts now have an increased collision period (now deal damage towards the end of the animation.)
  • Speed bonus for thrust and swing damage has been improved:
    • This will make thrust damages less extreme.
  • Improvements to kicks and bashes:
    • Bashes now push your opponent further away.
    • Kicks now stun your opponent for a longer period.
  • Backwards movement speed has been increased.
  • The characters riding skill now properly affects the horses’ manoeuvrability and top speed.
    • This should also fix the leaning issues horses had.
  • Air friction for projectiles has been adjusted.
  • Defending while crouching without moving has been allowed.
  • When teams are numerically unbalanced, players on the deficient team are given extra gold in Skirmish and extra troops in Captain as compensation.
  • Damage taken from behind if there is a shield on the back is halved (shield collision has some issue right now so this might not work all the time.)
  • Increased the stun animation duration when bumping into ranged weapon carriers.
Audio Changes:
  • Added true surround mode. If you have surround speakers/headphone, you can benefit from this option. Please note: you have to restart the game if you change this or Sound Device options. This will be fixed in future releases.

Notable Improvements and Fixes
  • When searching for a match with the matchmaker, players now see the number of players that are searching for the same game mode in the same region.
Major AI melee combat overhaul:
  • AI now considers enemy block direction when choosing attack direction.
  • Depending on the AI melee level, AI has now the following abilities and possesses more understanding of the fight:
    • I should not try to attack immediately after I got hit (playing hit animation) or immediately after I got parried (I have stunned) because the enemy will be able to attack before I do.
    • I should not consider defending/not attacking right after I hit them (they're playing hit animation) or right after I parried them (they have stunned) because I will be able to attack before they can.
    • Estimating how long not to attack or defend because of realising the above conditions also depends on AI melee level, higher levels mean more precise timing, lower levels mean wider variance and therefore usually too long or too short durations.
    • I should try to go back to defend (parry/block) when I am attacking but in ready state and enemy is attacking and in releasing state.
    • I should change my defence direction if the enemy has changed their attack direction. (this ability kicks in only at very high AI melee levels)
    • I should change my attack direction if the enemy is blocking from the correct direction, less important if the enemy has a shield. I should eventually make an attack if the enemy keeps matching my ready direction.
  • Properties related to how proficient at fighting a character is and how aggressive or defensive they should be, have been correctly separated. For example, troops under hold position orders will fight more defensively but they won't become less able fighters because they have been given a defensive order. Likewise, troops given a charge command won't become worse at parrying because they have been given an aggressive order.
  • Melee levels of troops in Captain mode have all been adjusted in accordance with the melee agent AI overhaul. Fighting a Peasant versus fighting a Knight will be very different.
  • Combat AI difficulty setting in options will now have a significant impact on how well soldiers/characters of different ability levels will fight. Previously, easy enemies felt too inactive and buggy. They will now be active but fight poorly because of making poor decisions.
  • Changes apply to Cavalry only when fighting at close quarters and low speeds.
General Changes

Gameplay Changes
  • Multiplayer agent AI-related driven properties are separated into melee and ranged classes in accordance with the new AI overhaul.
  • Troops in shield wall formation weren't as determined to face their formation direction as they should have been. This has been fixed.

Animation Changes

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Since the release of Bannerlord, we have shared a number of hotfix patches with you to address some of the most prevalent challenges that players were experiencing. At this point, we want to begin establishing a more structured patch process to better support content changes that bear a greater risk for your gameplay experience.

For this purpose, we intend to introduce 2 additional branches to Steam. Aside from our public branch, which players will use by default, we will also offer opt-in alpha and beta branches.

The beta branch will include content that has gone through our internal testing and will be exposed to public testers for at least one week. During this period, we will address discovered issues with hotfixes. Our goal is a weekly cycle where we push our internal version to the beta and the prior beta version to the main Steam build. However, if serious challenges arise, we may delay an update until those issues have been addressed.

The alpha branch will include content that is untested. It is intended for players, modders and explorers that wish to be as close to development as possible - even at the cost of stability. Our goal is to update it daily with our latest development branch.

Please be aware that opting into the alpha or beta branch may negatively impact your experience.

You can find the patch notes for the beta branch below. We will publish the alpha branch at a later date.

Greetings Warriors of Calradia!

Today, we are moving the current beta branch to our main Steam branch. Below you will find the original changes included in the beta branch, our previous hotfix to the beta branch as well as some additional changes that we have done since.

This will make it so that the public and beta branches are equal. We will likely update the beta branch in the near future.


Versions
Native: e1.1.0
SandboxCore: e1.1.0
Sandbox: e1.1.0
Storymode: e1.1.0
CustomBattle: e1.1.0

Latest Changes:
Multiplayer
Crashes
  • Fixed a rare crash at the beginning of a battle.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred when AI tries to find the missile range of a melee weapon.
Singleplayer
Crashes
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when the player successfully defected a lord through barter.
  • Fixed a crash that happens when the player character was walking on the campaign map after creating their own kingdom.
  • Fixed a crash caused by villager parties that don't have healthy troops.
  • Fixed a crash that occurs on the campaign map due to a problem with tournament renown gain.
  • Fixed a rare crash with AI thinking behavior in the “Need access to village commons” quest.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred due to log entries when a player battle ended.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when attacking caravans without a leader.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when a clan leader died and the selected heir was a lord that had recently been released or escaped from captivity.
Save & Load
  • Prevented the main storyline epilogue pop-up from reappearing every time the game was loaded.
  • Fixed a save system backwards compatibility problem with saving primitive data types.
  • Game now loads skill levels correctly from savegames created with versions prior to 1.1.0
Campaign Map
  • Added a middle layer for nameplate visibility on the campaign map. We now have a stage where players can see both towns names and castle names
Battles and Sieges
  • If a player’s fortification is besieged, they are warned by a text that appears in the top center of their screen. (Beforehand it only happened when the assault was already underway. Now we have 2 warnings - one when the siege begins and one when the assault starts.)
Clan and Party
  • If a player’s clan party is attacked, they are now informed with a center top notification.
  • The recruiting frequency of lords who are in a good financial situation was increased. They will now try to fill their party limits more frequently.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the consumption of more than 1 horse when we upgraded a troop to a mounted soldier while having several types of horses in our inventory.
Kingdoms and Diplomacy
  • Executions now also cause negative relations with honorable lords (if the executed is honorable too) and negative relations with friends of the executed. Additionally, we added further notifications for these consequences.
  • Mercenary minor factions no longer join kingdoms they are at war with.
  • Players can now fire mercenary factions they hired previously via dialogue. Players are asked to pay an appropriate wage per remaining influence. (Normally, we convert 20% of their earned influence to wage per day.) If the player rejects payment, they lose relations with the mercenary clan leader and the contract is cancelled.
  • Player’s mercenary payment per influence was stable after they entered a kingdom. Now it is refreshed every 30 days.
  • In some cases after a kingdom had been eliminated, the lords continued to spawn in a map location that is not reachable (near Rhesos Castle). They now spawn at a random settlement gate of their culture.
Economy and Trade
  • Caravans are now seen as more valuable targets by bandits and minor factions, which means that they will be attacked more. This will increase the number of battles that involve caravans. Previously, caravans were a nearly totally safe investment. Now bandits and minor faction lords sometimes attack caravans even if they are a bit stronger.
  • The pottery shop was very profitable - by creating 2 pieces of pottery (80 denars each) from one clay (20 denars) and doing this 4 times a day. Now one clay produces 1 pottery and pottery demand is halved to make its0 price more stable.
Other
  • Fixed the age of the player's brother.
  • Further fixes for NPC weight and build parameters as well as some NPC age fixes.
Previous Beta Hotfix:
  • Reverted the weight and build changes of NPCs and troops, so that overweight characters are much less common. Kept the changes for special high-tier units such as Falxmen.
  • Character Skill Levels will no longer be automatically increased when a save game from a version before 1.1.0 is loaded.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred after taking prisoners in hideouts.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when a character maxed-out their attributes and focus points.
  • Fixed the black particles bug.
  • Fixed some performance spikes that happened during missions.
  • Fixed a battle crash that was caused by a character having no culture.

  • AI that should've attacked the inner gate after breaking the outer gate with the ram in a siege tried to run into the castle over ladders because they chose the reverse side of the gate to stand and wait for reinforcing those that attacked the gate due to a bug. This was fixed.

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Today, we are moving the current beta branch to our main Steam branch. Below you will find the original changes included in the beta branch, our previous hotfixes to the beta branch as well as some additional changes that we have done since.


Main
Versions
Native: e1.3.0
SandboxCore: e1.3.0
Sandbox: e1.3.0
Storymode: e1.3.0
CustomBattle: e1.3.0


Latest Changes:
  • Fixed a beta exclusive issue where newly created characters and other objects could get mixed up with each other. This created instability & possibly crashes. It was also responsible for broken companions and encyclopedia problems. The fix does not recover broken beta save games, but it should resolve the issue for new games. You can test this by checking if newly created characters or other objects have their own appropriate encyclopedia pages instead of another character’s or object's page.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred when initialising the final phase of the main storyline for Imperial supporters.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when choosing the "Try to get away" option in an encounter.
  • Fixed a Save & Load related crash that occurred when entering the training field with a companion.
  • Some lords were losing all their money and then starving. This was due to fortification taxes being too low, they have been increased by 25%. Also, NPC clan leaders now react faster to losing money and reduce their garrison sizes before going bankrupt.
  • Council of Commons policy effect was 1 influence per notable in the settlement, it is now 0.1 influence per notable. Also, +1 militia effect per notable is removed.
  • There was no waiting time after captured lords were released; they were spawning at the next daily tick, now they spawn at least 2 days later.
  • Lords spawn with 10% of their party size filled instead of 25%
  • Owners now calculate their settlements' values more conservatively. If there was any hostile action to their fiefs their defence score grew significantly and they and they would go directly there to help. This negatively affected all AI score calculation systems. Additionally, there were other mechanics using this value that were also affected negatively.
  • There was a relation penalty if a settlement was lost between the owner of that settlement and their king. It was settlement value / 20K, now it is square root value of settlement value / 100K, (nearly 10x reduced). For example, for losing a castle with an estimated value of 600K, the lost relation was 30 previously, now it is 3. This was causing big relation drops when a settlement was lost and which in turn caused clans to defect because of this loss in relation.
  • An influence penalty has been added for if a settlement is lost (25 for a castle, 50 for a town).
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the player from receiving a relation benefit after helping a lord they had met previously.
  • Cavalry advantage in simulations is reduced to 20% from 30%
  • Mercenary groups in taverns have increased in size (2x) and their average level has increased.
  • When a smelted item had a modifier, the wrong item could be removed from the inventory. It could also create instability in the inventory. This was fixed.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred when initializing the final phase of the main storyline for Imperial supporters.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when choosing the "Try to get away" option in an encounter
Previous Beta Hotfixes:
  • Player kingdoms should no longer declare war without player action.
  • Fixed a crash related to settlement production.
  • Fixed a crash that happens in scenes with water.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurs during scene loading.
  • Some minor adjustments in character creation.
  • Fixed an issue with AI retreating that caused performance problems in combat missions.
  • Fixed a minor bug with the Food Variety Morale Bonus. Having maximum variety should no longer default to a low bonus.
  • Influence gain per troop donated to an allied garrison (same kingdom, different clan) was decreased by 60%.
  • The bug that caused besieged settlements to sally out even though they were weaker than attackers was fixed.
  • Some item consumption (fur, horse, sumpter horse) boosts town prosperity. This effect was decreased by a factor of 10. (+1 is now +0.1)
  • Prosperity bonus of the aqueduct was halved.
  • Starving effect of missing foods for the garrisons was decreased.
  • Fixed a bug that caused problems with recruiting prisoners from defeated parties.

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Below you will find the latest updates to the beta branch. We also want to take this opportunity to address a frequently asked question regarding save game compatibility on this branch. While we strive to achieve stability for the beta, we cannot guarantee it and want to stress that you are using this branch with a risk for both general enjoyment as well as save game compatibility. If you desire a more stable experience, please use our main branch. Similarly, if you are using mods, please be aware that updates carry a significant risk to break them and your savegames - regardless of the branch you are on.

Finally, we want to thank everybody who is partaking in testing the beta branches and helping us with creating a better game.

  • Fixes

Quests & Issues
  • Implemented a new quest. Lord parties will ask the player to bring horses (or camels) when they don't have enough mounts for their troops on foot.
  • Adjusted the Extortion By Deserters Quest difficulty. The settlement defender party spawned during Extortion By Deserters quest now uses the default militia template of the settlement's culture. The Deserter party will no longer disappear when the Extortion By Deserters Quest ends but rather becomes a regular bandit party. Added new notifications to the Extortion By Deserters quest to make it easier for the player to complete the quest.
  • Fixed the face key of the Spy Among Us quest character "Confident Contender".

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Today, we are moving the current beta branch to our main Steam branch. Below you will find the original changes included in the beta branch, our previous hotfixes to the beta branch as well as some additional changes that we have done since.


Main

Versions
Native: e1.4.1
SandboxCore: e1.4.1
Sandbox: e1.4.1
Storymode: e1.4.1
CustomBattle: e1.4.1


Latest Changes:
  • We changed price colouring to work according to world averages instead of default prices of items. If an item is 30% or more above the world average it is coloured red. If it is 20% or more below the item's world average price it is coloured green.
  • Fixed a bug that caused mercenaries to pay tributes or expenses to/for other mercenaries
  • Added a fix to remove duplicate kingdom stances that had already been saved.
  • Peace barter initialization parameters have been fixed
  • Town prices now model purchases made by caravans and other parties while determining supply and demand.
  • Fixed an issue where players who created kingdoms had to pay influence cost for decisions even when there were no other clans to overrule.
Previous Beta Hotfixes:

03/06/20
  • Fixed the campaign map defender siege engine positions for the level 2 version of Medeni castle. This should resolve crashing for cases where the player initiates a siege against a level 2 version of the castle.
  • Fixed an issue that caused corrupted save files to crash the game on load screen.
  • Fixed an issue with the final perk of the 1-handed and 2-handed skills.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the diplomacy system to have multiple relations between kingdom pairs. This should alleviate some problems with short war and truce periods.
  • On average about 30% of towns and 50% of castles were experiencing issues with starvation. To improve this situation, settlements with less food now offer higher prices so caravans distribute food better. Village food production was also increased from 4/8/12 to 5/10/15 and consumption of beer in settlements now gives a bonus to food stores. Furthermore, garrisons grow to a lesser degree if a settlement has fewer or smaller villages. With these changes starvation was reduced to 10% of towns and 20% of castles - which mostly occurs in cases of hostile actions like raids and sieges.
  • Influence awards of some policies were adjusted to reduce influence inflation across kingdoms.
  • Effects of daily default projects for settlements were reduced.
  • Several minor fixes for AI war and peace declarations.
02/06/20
  • Fixed an issue that blocked the AI from declaring wars normally. It is now no longer locked to the player entering the diplomacy screen.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed your faction to make peace without your vote.
  • AI should be more likely to declare peace if the war is taking a long time.
01/06/20
  • Fixed an issue that caused several policies to be activated when the player is a mercenary and goes to the kingdom screen for the first time.
  • Disabled the "leave kingdom" button in the clan screen for player kings for the time being as it caused crashes after some time.
  • Reintroduced a minimum truce period of 20 days for AI kingdoms.
  • Fixed an issue that caused players to get stuck when they accepted a peace decision while in a siege event.
30/05/20
  • Fixed an issue that caused AI rulers to miscalculate influence cost vs benefit when overriding a popular vote.
  • Fixed an issue that caused automated kingdom decisions for mercenary players.
  • The influence cost for the ruler to override the popular vote in a kingdom decision is now calculated differently. Players will be able to spend the decision's normal cost for up to 3 points of difference or "votes". They will have to spend the decision's max cost for any additional points of difference. (To elaborate further - the options associated with influence costs in a kingdom decision represent votes. So f.e. in a decision with the costs 10 / 40 / 100, choosing the 100 option amounts to 3 points or votes. If you are a king and want to overrule a popular vote that surpasses the alternative by 5 points / votes, your cost will amount to 100 (for the first 3 votes) plus another 2 x 100 (for the additional points of difference).
29/05/20
  • Fixed a rare crash on the campaign map regarding village items.
  • Fixed a crash related to newly spawned caravans.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to talk with a companion while inside hideouts.
  • Fixed an issue with missing dialogues for supporting a kingdom in the main storyline after loading which blocked progression.
  • Fixed a client crash on crowded servers when the amount of created weapons in the environment exceeded a certain threshold.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when kingdoms declare war while the "Company of Trouble" quest was active.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred when clicking done in the simulation battle result screen.
  • Fixed a rare crash that happened while talking to a companion.
  • Kingdom tributes are now paid daily rather than one-time.
    • Kingdom tribute payments are shared between clans as follows:
      • Each regular clan has 1 share and ruling clan has 4 shares
      • Every town adds 3 shares
      • Each castle adds 1 share
  • Added a fix for the Player's King's Decision.
  • The AI now leaves less garrison to settlements with low prosperity. This should improve problems with starvation.
  • We spotted a 3x inflation for hearths over 15 game years. The daily hearth increase for villages was changed to 0.5 from 1.
  • Fixed some visual bugs on the Baravenos Encirclement and Xauna MP scenes.
22/05/20
  • Fixed a crash that occurred after colliding with an entity while falling with a camel.
  • Fixed a rare crash that happened when an agent was blocking and the weapon state for that agent was not fully synced.
  • Fixed a rare crash that occurred when showing the battle results of simulated battles.

  • Fixed a rare crash that happened when a specific caravan spawned for notables.
  • Fixed a bug that caused NPC parties to raid Tevea village very frequently.

    • Barter auto offer button will turn green if the current status of the barter is acceptable.
    • "Army Created" map notification inspection and Kingdom army "show on map" button now will directly focus on the army, if that army is currently visible on the map, instead of showing the army's target.
  • Fixes
    • Now non-traded item prices in inventory are updated correctly. i.e. If the player sold a horse, only that horse's price would be updated but the market price for the same category horses would also change but not shown. This didn't result in any miscalculation of the total cost of the transaction, it was purely visual and it's now fixed.
    • Fixed character visual blocking the selection for perks over 275 skill level in character developer in some aspect ratios.
    • Fixed perks vertical and horizontal placements in character developer in non 16:9 aspect ratios.

  • Players can now give formation arrangement orders (shield wall, etc.) at the beginning of missions. Such orders will now override the default stop order.
  • Due to a bug in hideouts the empty formations in the player's team were not under the player's control and therefore, when troops were transferred, they couldn't be controlled anymore. This was fixed.
  • The main agent and other lords now preserve their level of detail when they die in a mission.
Combat AI
  • In certain siege scenes, troops would start running between two siege towers instead of climbing. This issue was resolved and major improvements were made about the problems in pathfinding over siege towers and climbing ladders (especially ladders of siege towers).
  • Increased the distance between friendly troops. This improves the spacing inside combat and reduces friendly troops hindering themselves
Character Development System
  • Major changes and fixes have been made for two-handed skill perks.

  • Players can now recruit mercenaries from the tavern menu.
Quests & Issues
  • Implemented a new quest. Lord parties will ask the player to bring horses (or camels) when they don't have enough mounts for their troops on foot.
  • Adjusted the Extortion By Deserters Quest difficulty. The settlement defender party spawned during Extortion By Deserters quest now uses the default militia template of the settlement's culture. The Deserter party will no longer disappear when the Extortion By Deserters Quest ends but rather becomes a regular bandit party. Added new notifications to the Extortion By Deserters quest to make it easier for the player to complete the quest.
  • Fixed the face key of the Spy Among Us quest character "Confident Contender".
  • Fixed a bug with the Rival Gang Leader quest where the troop selection screen for the companion solution was populated with prisoners only.
  • Fixed a bug that caused players to get stuck in dialogues of main storyline quests.

  • An NPC was added to the ranged tutorial area.
  • Fixed a bug that causes some thrones to be unusable.

Ranged Combat:

  • Decreased accuracy of throwing weapons when released instantly.
  • Decreased accuracy of throwing weapons when held for a long time. (Similar to bows.)
  • Slightly increased the release time of throwing weapons.
  • Made bows a bit less accurate when released instantly (This won't affect AI too much. Will make it harder (but not impossible) for players to hit feet or around shields.)
  • Multiplayer Only:
    • Made bows inaccurate earlier when drawn out for a time. (This will make it make the window of perfect accuracy smaller. Early Accuracy will be slightly better if the bow was readied before.)

Other Combat Changes

  • Multiplayer Only:

Game Modes

In addition to defeating enemies to gain gold, players will be able to gain gold by helping their team complete objectives. Attackers will gain extra gold for pushing the siege engines, breaking down doors and siege engines and breaching walls. While defenders gain gold by destroying siege engines and weapons. Each player will be compensated for their total contribution when the objective is achieved.

New Features

  • Clan System:
    Players now can create a clan with their party. Six player party is needed to create a clan. Players can create their clan from the Clan tab in the lobby with the “Create a Clan” button. This button then opens a popup. In this popup, the party leader can decide on the name, tag, faction and sigil of the clan. The name and the tag can be decided only once and it has to be unique, but the faction and the sigil can be changed any time by the leader of that clan. Upon pressing the create button, every other member of the party gets notified asking them if they want to join the clan. If all of them agree, a new clan is created.

    A clan can have a description and many announcements. These can be found on the clan’s home page. The clan leader can set a description for the clan. This description can be used to tell what that clan is all about. The leader can also post announcements or news for the entire clan. When members of the clan visit the clan tab in the lobby, they can get informed about the latest news and announcements about the clan.

  • Clan Matches:
    A party of six players all belonging to the same clan can create a game by selecting game type, map and factions. Other parties that satisfy the same conditions can see a list consisting of these games and select one to join. If the creator party accepts this join request, a server is allocated for them and they duke it out. After the match, winner teams clan gets 1 win, loser teams clan gets 1 loss added to their clan stats.

  • Clan Roster:
    In this page, members of the clan can see all the players that are in the same clan as them. They can then invite their clanmates to their party, add other clan members as friends and if they are the leader of the clan, they can also kick members from the clan or make them the new leader.

  • Clan Leaderboard:
    A score is calculated for each clan using their win and loss numbers. Then they are sorted based on this score. Any player belonging to a clan can visit the Leaderboard page in the clan tab to see the rankings of all clans in the game. As we improve the Clan System, a Rating system will be added to more accurately reflect clan strength and other types of Leaderboards will be introduced for Clans and their members.

  • Spear Bracing:
    Only possible with lances and pikes. Pressing ‘X’ key once while stopped, activates the bracing. Attacking, defending, crouching, jumping and running actions cancels the bracing. Players can only walk slowly while bracing is active. Please note that the damage values are still yet to be balanced

UI

  • Added some explanatory hints in the MP lobby.
  • Fixed an error at the context menu in the Recent Games tab.
  • Non-leader members of parties can now suggest their friends to their party leaders to be invited.

Announcement About Beta Servers

  • US, EU and EA will get all the usual servers and services.
  • There will be a single server on Oceania to allow players to test new combat changes.

Players will fight for the main square with its construction sites, the city's pottery workshop and the elevated grand plaza.
    • Name: Port at Omor
      Theme: Main theme is a fishing and trading village at the outskirts of an old and established city.

Players will battle amongst trade yards, shipyards, warehouses, taverns, and statues left behind by old inhabitants of the land.

Combat Changes
Melee Combat:

  • Ready speed has been increased. (So your weapon goes faster into the attack position.)

    • Swings will now deal damage more consistently.
    • Swings will now deal damage earlier into their collision period.

Ranged Combat:

  • When defending (blocking with a shield) with a weapon in throwing mode in hand, you now also get bumped when enemies come close to you. (This is to make it risky to play for kick throws (but keeps it possible). Earlier it only happened when readying your throwing weapons.
  • Decreased accuracy of throwing weapons when released instantly.
  • Decreased accuracy of throwing weapons when held for a long time. (Similar to bows.)
  • Slightly increased the release time of throwing weapons.
  • Made bows a bit less accurate when released instantly (This won't affect AI too much. Will make it harder (but not impossible) for players to hit feet or around shields.)
  • Multiplayer Only:
    • Made bows inaccurate earlier when drawn out for a time. (This will make it make the window of perfect accuracy smaller. Early Accuracy will be slightly better if the bow was readied before.)
    • Made bows more inaccurate when moving.

Other Combat Changes

  • Made kick animation longer. (Gives the opponent more time to react. Also slightly reduced the stun.)
  • Increased collision resistance (makes it harder to push people):
    • Increased minimum collision resistance (when moving fast).
    • Increased maximum collision resistance (when moving slow).
    • The collision resistance when standing still stayed the same.

  • Couch lance angle to right side has been decreased.
  • Lowered speed and angle requirement for mounts to trigger the “hit object” animation.
  • Horses now rear up when riding into objects to hard.

  • Decreased the damage threshold for being able to rear mounts.
  • Mounts can now be reared from a wider angle by spears.
  • Multiplayer Only:
    • Classes with lower riding skill will now perform worse on horseback (less manoeuvrability and less speed).

Game Modes

  • Siege Mode Improvements:
    Alongside many stability improvements, we are also adding objective-based gold gaining to Siege game mode. In addition to defeating enemies to gain gold, players will be able to gain gold by helping their team complete objectives. Attackers will gain extra gold for pushing the siege engines, breaking down doors and siege engines and breaching walls. While defenders gain gold by destroying siege engines and weapons. Each player will be compensated for their total contribution when the objective is achieved.

New Features

  • Clan System:
    Players now can create a clan with their party. Six player party is needed to create a clan. Players can create their clan from the Clan tab in the lobby with the “Create a Clan” button. This button then opens a popup. In this popup, the party leader can decide on the name, tag, faction and sigil of the clan. The name and the tag can be decided only once and it has to be unique, but the faction and the sigil can be changed any time by the leader of that clan. Upon pressing the create button, every other member of the party gets notified asking them if they want to join the clan. If all of them agree, a new clan is created.

    A clan can have a description and many announcements. These can be found on the clan’s home page. The clan leader can set a description for the clan. This description can be used to tell what that clan is all about. The leader can also post announcements or news for the entire clan. When members of the clan visit the clan tab in the lobby, they can get informed about the latest news and announcements about the clan.

  • Clan Matches:
    A party of six players all belonging to the same clan can create a game by selecting game type, map and factions. Other parties that satisfy the same conditions can see a list consisting of these games and select one to join. If the creator party accepts this join request, a server is allocated for them and they duke it out. After the match, winner teams clan gets 1 win, loser teams clan gets 1 loss added to their clan stats.

  • Clan Roster:
    In this page, members of the clan can see all the players that are in the same clan as them. They can then invite their clanmates to their party, add other clan members as friends and if they are the leader of the clan, they can also kick members from the clan or make them the new leader.

  • Clan Leaderboard:
    A score is calculated for each clan using their win and loss numbers. Then they are sorted based on this score. Any player belonging to a clan can visit the Leaderboard page in the clan tab to see the rankings of all clans in the game. As we improve the Clan System, a Rating system will be added to more accurately reflect clan strength and other types of Leaderboards will be introduced for Clans and their members.

  • Spear Bracing:
    Only possible with lances and pikes. Pressing ‘X’ key once while stopped, activates the bracing. Attacking, defending, crouching, jumping and running actions cancels the bracing. Players can only walk slowly while bracing is active. Please note that the damage values are still yet to be balanced

UI

  • Added some explanatory hints in the MP lobby.
  • Fixed an error at the context menu in the Recent Games tab.
  • Non-leader members of parties can now suggest their friends to their party leaders to be invited.

Announcement About Beta Servers

  • Beta servers do not share any data with Live servers. Which means no data will be transferred from Live to Beta or Beta to Live.
  • US, EU and EA will get all the usual servers and services.
  • There will be a single server on Oceania to allow players to test new combat changes.

Crashes


  • Two end of battle crashes were fixed.
  • Fixed an issue with dead agents dropping equipment that was causing the game to crash.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred after arena practice fights.
  • Fixed a crash that was caused by garrisons without a bound settlement.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred due to a dialogue condition in the main storyline.
  • Fixed a crash that was related to corporal punishment.

Save & Load

  • Added a notification that informs the player that the game was successfully quicksaved.

Localisation

  • Updated Chinese translations.
  • Turkish translation updates.
  • Minor text and punctuation fixes.

Art

  • Fixed a visual issue with an Aserai Helmet
  • horse_harness_a, horse_harness_roman_b and horse_harness_saxon have been remastered. Brought to your service under the names Saddle of Aeneas, Fortuna's Choice and Celtic Frost.

  • Fixed a bug where arrows went through some solid pots instead of getting stuck.

Animations

  • Added new death animations for camel riders.

UI
Changes


  • Added missing troop tier and type icons to the new hideout troop selection popup
  • The selected skill now stays the same when the current character is changed in character developer screen for easier comparison
Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused a crash while preparing tooltip for villages in the town management popup.
  • Fixed some localization bugs in the encyclopedia.
  • Fixed a bug that caused development stats for items to be visible in item tooltip (Culture, StringId).
  • Fixed a bug that caused selected clan to change in Kingdom clan tab after supporting a clan.
  • Fixed an issue in character naming that didn't allow for 1 character names in Asian languages.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the raid icon to become visible in village nameplates when there is a battle happening nearby.

Battles and Sieges

  • Not being able to defend against ranged attacks when the Auto option was selected for blocking direction has been fixed.
  • AI will be less cautious while they are besieging settlements so the player has a greater chance to experience defensive sieges by breaking into a castle or town. In previous versions, the AI was giving up the siege in most scenarios when the player joined the defenders because of changed power ratios. Because of this sieges will also be won more frequently by defenders compared to past versions.

Character Development System

  • We have removed some of the starting equipment that was too strong or too expensive. This will create a more even starting point for each selection.
  • Added 24 for combat-related perks for Riding. This completes the perks for this skill.
  • Added 6 new campaign-related throwing perk.

Clan and Party

  • Starving parties healthy troops will be wounded 50% slower

Armies

  • AI changes its siege targets less frequently now so they lose less time while travelling from one target to another
  • Because of some bugs, weak factions were having problems in forming armies. Now they will form armies even if they are weak and they will not simply give up. In rare cases, some factions which have no settlements left will make comebacks by conquering a new settlement.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

  • AI clans make their war/peace decisions more cleverly and take into account a broader range of situations. They generally do not want to face more than 1-2 enemies at the same time. So if they have lots of enemies they will try to make peace with some of them. This will reduce wiped out factions because in previous versions some factions were not giving logical decisions at diplomatic votings. Clans which have settlements that border the enemy will want peace more frequently. Similarly, they will not want wars in peace times. Rich kingdoms will not care about paying tribute as much as poor ones. If a faction has fewer men in garrisons or lord parties or if lots of settlements have food problems they will try to end the war with their recent enemies. There will be less snowballing due to all these changes because clans will try to act in the interest of their kingdom.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

  • New "Barber" NPC added to the town centre of every town. For 100 denars, this NPC lets you decide on a new haircut. Depending on the culture of the town, these haircuts and beards can change.

  • Landlord needs Manual Labor

  • Defender and deserter parties spawned during Extortion by Deserters quest have their cultures set to the quest village's original culture.

  • Fixed duplicated persuasion dialogue text in Army of Poacher quest persuasion.
  • Fixed a bug that blocked quests from being completed with alternative (companion) solutions and made alternative solution companions disappear in some cases.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a Nearby Bandit Base quest to get stuck when players also had an active Needs Help With Bandits quest.

Conversations & Encounters

  • An issue with encounter side based logic was fixed. This caused the spawn points of heroes in hostile town and castle conversation missions to be reversed.
  • Fixed a bug that caused conversation buttons to become unresponsive after a bandit/looter party encounter.

Other

  • Tournaments will now use blunt weapons. Blunt weapons will make sure these events occur in a more friendly manner.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented removing corpses while ending a tournament round.
  • A new menu that notifies players about their situation has been added for cases where the village that they are staying in gets raided by someone else

UI
Changes

  • Added missing troop tier and type icons to the new hideout troop selection popup.
  • The selected skill now stays the same when the current character is changed in character developer screen for easier comparison.
Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused a crash while preparing tooltips for villages in the town management popup.
  • Fixed some localisation bugs in the encyclopedia.
  • Fixed a bug that caused development stats for items to be visible in item tooltip (Culture, StringId).
  • Fixed a bug that caused the selected clan to change in the Kingdom clan tab after supporting a clan.
  • Fixed an issue in character naming that didn't allow for 1 character names in Asian languages.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the raid icon to become visible in village nameplates when there is a battle happening nearby.
Battles and Sieges

  • Not being able to defend against ranged attacks when the Auto option was selected for blocking direction has been fixed.
  • AI will be less cautious while they are besieging settlements so the player has a greater chance to experience defensive sieges by breaking into a castle or town. In previous versions, the AI was giving up the siege in most scenarios when the player joined the defenders because of changed power ratios. Because of this sieges will also be won more frequently by defenders compared to past versions.
Character Development System

  • We have removed some of the starting equipment that was too strong or too expensive. This will create a more even starting point for each selection.
  • Added 24 for combat-related perks for Riding. This completes the perks for this skill.
  • Added 6 new campaign-related throwing perk.
Clan and Party

  • Starving parties healthy troops will be wounded 50% slower.
Armies

  • AI changes its siege targets less frequently now so they lose less time while travelling from one target to another
  • Because of some bugs, weak factions were having problems in forming armies. Now they will form armies even if they are weak and they will not simply give up. In rare cases, some factions which have no settlements left will make comebacks by conquering a new settlement.
Kingdoms and Diplomacy

  • AI clans make their war/peace decisions more cleverly and take into account a broader range of situations. They generally do not want to face more than 1-2 enemies at the same time. So if they have lots of enemies they will try to make peace with some of them. This will reduce wiped out factions because in previous versions some factions were not giving logical decisions at diplomatic votings. Clans which have settlements that border the enemy will want peace more frequently. Similarly, they will not want wars in peace times. Rich kingdoms will not care about paying tribute as much as poor ones. If a faction has fewer men in garrisons or lord parties or if lots of settlements have food problems they will try to end the war with their recent enemies. There will be less snowballing due to all these changes because clans will try to act in the interest of their kingdom.
Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

  • New "Barber" NPC added to the town centre of every town. For 100 denars, this NPC lets you decide on a new haircut. Depending on the culture of the town, these haircuts and beards can change.

    • Minor faction leaders can no longer give Lord Needs Horses quest.
  • Landlord needs Manual Labor
    • Fixed a bug that allowed players to get infinite relation with the quest giver.
    • Fixed a bug that caused the counter offer NPC's dialogue to be wrong.
  • Defender and deserter parties spawned during Extortion by Deserters quest have their cultures set to the quest village's original culture.
  • Wrong usages of the gold transaction action were fixed in multiple parts of the code. This should fix wrong or missing logs.

  • Fixed a bug that prevents quest NPC's from sheathing their weapons after Family Feud quest fight.
  • Fixed duplicated persuasion dialogue text in Army of Poacher quest persuasion.
  • Fixed a bug that blocked quests from being completed with alternative (companion) solutions and made alternative solution companions disappear in some cases.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a Nearby Bandit Base quest to get stuck when players also had an active Needs Help With Bandits quest.
Conversations & Encounters

  • An issue with encounter side based logic was fixed. This caused the spawn points of heroes in hostile town and castle conversation missions to be reversed.
  • Fixed a bug that caused conversation buttons to become unresponsive after a bandit/looter party encounter.
Other

  • Tournaments will now use blunt weapons. Blunt weapons will make sure these events occur in a more friendly manner.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented removing corpses while ending a tournament round.
  • A new menu that notifies players about their situation has been added for cases where the village that they are staying in gets raided by someone else
  • Improvements for the automatic navmesh creation system were made

Design & Bilanciamento
  • Sfondamento:
    • Aumentato il valore di energia necessario per sfondare.
    • Reso leggermente più facile lo sfondamento con mazze a due mani in base all'energia usata.
Modalità di gioco
  • La distruzione dell'equipaggiamento d'assedio che conferiva oro durante il riscaldamento è stata risolta.
Relativo alla mappa
  • Druimmor Forest è stato corretto in termini di barriere, exploit e bug visivi. Barriere adeguate sono state applicate su scogliere e tetti. Inoltre, sono state fatte alcune correzioni in Ruins of Jawwali, tra cui l'abbinamento tra rocce e scogliere, la sistemazione delle barriere intorno alle aree inutilizzate e la risoluzioni dei problemi di navmesh.
  • Problemi fisici come rimanere bloccati nelle colonne di legno e bug visivi vengono risolti nelle scene di schermaglia "Trading Post" e "Town Outskirts". Molte situazioni di exploit vengono eliminate.
  • Risolte molte possibili cause di crash in Baravenos Encirclement.
Altro - Miscellanea
  • Risolta una condizione in cui l'animazione del cavaliere si interrompe quando la cavalcatura viene uccisa mentre il cavaliere sta cavalcando
  • Il giocatore non perdeva alcun punteggio per i suicidi, risolto.
  • Il numero delle frecce nelle faretre durante la selezione di un personaggio è stato sistemato.
Server & Connessione
  • Il generatore di partite del Clan non si arresta più tornando alla lobby.
Interfaccia
  • Aggiunti indicatori dei compagni di squadra morti.
  • Aggiunto ordinamento alla scheda del Clan MP.
  • Ora i nomi dei membri del gruppo verranno mostrati in un colore diverso usando "ALT" nelle battaglie MP.
  • Piccoli ritocchi e miglioramenti.
Entrambi

  • Risolti alcuni problemi di layout che apparivano nei pannelli fuori dai bordi.
Prestazioni
  • Significativi miglioramenti delle prestazioni per il sistema di animazione. Ciò favorirà situazioni ricche di animazioni come battaglie e scene di città molto popolate.
Animazioni
  • Le animazioni di inattività e in piedi dei personaggi ora cominciano sempre dall'inizio anziché da una posizione casuale, sia per una visione migliore che per ottimizzazione.
Combattimento
  • I personaggi inseguiti seguivano lo stesso percorso, facendoli muovere in linea. Ora si sparpagliano un po ', rendendolo più naturale.
  • I personaggi circondano altri personaggi nemici e scelgono una posizione in base alla lunghezza dell'arma del nemico. Se il nemico ha un'arma più lunga come una lancia, i personaggi circostanti si allontanano un po' dal nemico. Ora confrontano la lunghezza dell'arma del nemico con la lunghezza della propria e si avvicinano se l'arma del nemico è più lunga.
  • Cavalleria:
    • Ridotto l'angolo di eventuali rialzi posteriori.
    • Aumentata leggermente la soglia di danno da carica.

Il trucco riserva e aggiunge 1 NPC fittizio a tutte le case dell'insediamento in cui si trova attualmente il giocatore - rendendole facilmente accessibili. Il tag riservato per le case non viene cancellato dopo il salvataggio, quindi usate il trucco con cautela.
  • Abilitata l'unione di multiple mesh di navigazione.
  • I nomi dei livelli per le scene possono ora essere rinominati dall'Editor scene.
  • Alcuni ordini di formazione che sono stati omessi in pubblico sono stati aggiunti per l'uso nelle mod.
  • Migliorata editabilità degli asset dell'interfaccia utente, che ora sono separate in moduli in modo che le mod possano aggiungere nuovi asset o sovrascrivere quelli esistenti.
  • Migliorate le performance per il generatore di sprite.

  • Fixed a bug that leaves the main hero's spouse in the main party in a fugitive state.
  • Enabled AI marriages to occur over time.

    • Not all items had the correct modifiers associated with them, that's fixed.
    • Modifiers now affect stack count correctly("large bag of..." works).

Changes

Fixes

Both

UI
Changes


  • Mission Order Radial:
    • The order UI has been changed and now has radial buttons. This is implemented mostly for gamepad usability since previously, that UI implementation was unusable with gamepads. Because of this, some orders had to be moved. F1 and F2 orders are unaffected but F3-F7 orders are now under a list, F3 (like F1 and F2). We're open to feedback about this change. So let us know what you think!
  • UI now supports other language characters that are not included in the selected game language:
    • Previously characters in other languages would show up as block characters. e.g if your game language was English and someone typed in Japanese in the MP chat, the English player would see those characters as block characters. Now they show up as the correct characters.

Performance


  • Optimisation made for agent spawning, improving the initialisation of battles and reinforcement phases.
  • Optimisations made on inverse kinematics by reducing unnecessary usage in the animation system, slightly improving the overall performance.

Combat


  • Fixed a scenario for crush through where the attacker could deal full damage to the opponent.
  • Troop movement speeds when moving in arrangement had been reduced noticeably in the previous update, according to feedback and testing, this reduction has been made less severe for line arrangement.

Modding


  • Fixes for crashes when using road_instance script for river sculpting.
  • Check for errors functionality in editor also checks the physics objects of the mesh bended entities.
  • A new functionality added to the editor for re-baking the selected GI probes.

Art

  • Visual improvements on Khuzait, Vlandian and Empire villages:

    • Empire_village_o
    • vlandia_village_j
  • Physics problems on some castle walls and rooves are solved in Tsagaan Castle.

  • Assigned alpha versions parallax to materials with parallax.
  • Visual improvements on Battania Keep and gatehouse models.

  • Added new cradle model.
UI
Changes
  • Added autosave interval control to the Campaign Options panel.
  • Added Married/Not Married filters to the encyclopedia hero list page.
  • Added explanation tooltip to the tax value in Town Management.
  • Now, the equip button in the inventory will replace the same type of weapon (if there is one equipped).

Battles and Sieges
  • Added -20% damage and weapon speed/reload penalty for using weapons while mounted. This is lowered by the Riding skill and reaches zero penalty at 100.

  • Heroes will no longer receive medicine skill experience for teamkills in battles.

  • Fixed a bug that leaves the main hero's spouse in the main party in a fugitive state.
  • Enabled AI marriages to occur over time.
  • Gave most clans enough adult members to lead the minimum number of parties. Added children to some clans to ensure better long-term continuity. More changes will follow.

    • Not all items had the correct modifiers associated with them, that's fixed.
    • Modifiers now affect stack count correctly("large bag of..." works).

  • Players can now forfeit board games on the enemy’s turn.
  • Improved the replacement of invalid or deleted items with trash items. This may help some corrupted saves and should make it less likely for corruptions of this nature to occur.
Multiplayer
Design & Balance
Combat

  • Bows, Crossbows and all Throwing Weapons' readying/aiming duration and patterns are now related to weapon speed (aiming used to be standard for all ranged weapons).

Both
UI
Changes
  • Mission Order Radial:
    • The order UI has been changed and now has radial buttons. This is implemented mostly for gamepad usability since previously, that UI implementation was unusable with gamepads. Because of this, some orders had to be moved. F1 and F2 orders are unaffected but F3-F7 orders are now under a list, F3 (like F1 and F2). We're open to feedback about this change. So let us know what you think!
  • UI now supports other language characters that are not included in the selected game language:
    • Previously characters in other languages would show up as block characters. e.g if your game language was English and someone typed in Japanese in the MP chat, the English player would see those characters as block characters. Now they show up as the correct characters.
Performance
  • Optimisation made for agent spawning, improving the initialisation of battles and reinforcement phases.
  • Optimisations made on inverse kinematics by reducing unnecessary usage in the animation system, slightly improving the overall performance.
Combat
  • Fixed a scenario for crush through where the attacker could deal full damage to the opponent.
  • Troop movement speeds when moving in arrangement had been reduced noticeably in the previous update, according to feedback and testing, this reduction has been made less severe for line arrangement.
AI
  • Improved aiming and decision-making process of Archer AI.
  • Improved AI behaviour while charging when they have throwing weapons equipped.
Modding
  • Fixes for crashes when using road_instance script for river sculpting.
  • Check for errors functionality in editor also checks the physics objects of the mesh bended entities.
  • A new functionality added to the editor for re-baking the selected GI probes.
