Save & Load
  • Autosave interval duration was increased. It now autosaves after leaving settlement and ending encounters.
  • A notification will be displayed after saving the game successfully.
  • Daily gold changes occurred multiple times in different loaded games for some saved games. This was fixed. Now the daily gold change occurs only once in a day.

Localisation

  • Chinese localisation fixes.

Art
  • Navmesh IDs changed for better AI behaviours in front of castle gates.
  • Visual improvements on Khuzait, Vlandian and Empire villages:
    • khuzait_village_f
    • Empire_village_o
    • vlandia_village_j
  • Physics problems on some castle walls and rooves are solved in Tsagaan Castle.
  • In order to have a better balance between ranged and melee troops, high ground areas and their connections between each other were reduced in number in Tsagaan Castle.
  • Assigned alpha versions parallax to materials with parallax.
  • Visual improvements on Battania Keep and gatehouse models.
  • Improvements to the existing campaign maps icons.
  • 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).
  • Army overlay can now show more than 18 parties in the army.
  • Barter offered item amount is now an editable text area.

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. The effect only applies to troops and characters in singleplayer mode. Some mechanical weapons (such as crossbows) are exempt from the damage penalty.
  • Heroes will no longer receive medicine skill experience for teamkills in battles.
  • Some archery points in siege scenes were not being removed as expected when certain objects like walls and broken versions of walls were swapped around causing archer agents trying to go to undesirable positions. Fixed/added more functionality to add on deploy/remove on deploy properties.
  • Moving in formation speed limits were not applied properly, they have been fixed and speeds were reduced overall, This is especially noticeable in shield wall, circle and square arrangements.
  • When troops with ranged weapons were given the charge order they didn't approach the enemy if there was a friend in the way. This was fixed. Moving sideways to try to see enemies past friends was also added, making giving the charge order without telling troops to hold fire much more effective.
  • Due to an error in updating the target agent after their target was killed and they moved back a few steps, ranged troops tended to face away from the enemy. This was fixed.
  • Fixed a bug that caused formations to fidget about when trying to hold a defensive position.
  • Implemented a new system that calculates troop power based on context. Removed cavalry troop simulation bonuses for sieges.
  • Light crossbows are reloadable on horseback now. Some of the heaviest crossbows are capable of penetrating shields.

  • Fixed a bug that caused children to show up in the inventory screen as selectable.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the player to heal immediately just by waiting on the map.

Clan and Party
  • Bandit parties which were close to a hideout were attacking other stronger parties because they assumed that parties inside the hideout would help them. However, that is not the case. They will no longer make this assumption.
  • 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.

  • Fixed a problem with tanneries not making any profit and closing all over the world in the long term.
  • All workshops are a bit more profitable now.

Crafting
  • Missing/Invalid damage type strings were fixed.

  • Added player spouse death notification.
  • Fixed a bug that causes some dancers and beggars to spawn very young.
  • Added an option to enable/disable birth, ageing and death in the campaign. With this option enabled no new hero will be born and no one will die in the game.
  • Item Modifiers Update:
    • While modifiers worked mostly as intended for armours, they did not work correctly for weapons(stats of weapons were not affected by them), that's fixed.
    • Not all items had the correct modifiers associated with them, that's fixed.
    • Modifiers now affect stack count correctly("large bag of..." works).
  • Lame Horse feature was implemented:
    • When your horse "goes down" in a mission there is a chance that it will get the Lame modifier, which will affect the stats of it.
  • 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.

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:

Performance

Combat

  • 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.

  • 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.

YES! Thank you.

Sp -> Art, UI, CDS, C&, others.. = Good changes/additions, not enough but fine as always.

one example. new cool option just for my test runs:

  • Added an option to enable/disable birth, ageing and death in the campaign. With this option enabled no new hero will be born and no one will die in the game.

Mp -> Combat & perk developments + order UI = Not a big content for mp but i really want to check them this weekend, however idk if i can download beta, after the main. Anyways, i'm looking forward for new type of duel and battle modes, but all mp changes/addtions/fixes are welcome.

Modding - > Hope they help community a lot, more pls.

Thanks all for the effort again.

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. The effect only applies to troops and characters in singleplayer mode. Some mechanical weapons (such as crossbows) are exempt from the damage penalty.

Oof. T2 and T3 cav/HAs just took an L.
Implemented a new system that calculates troop power based on context. Removed cavalry troop simulation bonuses for sieges.

Is this the full new autocalc or just a portion?

Enabled AI marriages to occur over time.

Great.

Bandit parties which were close to a hideout were attacking other stronger parties because they assumed that parties inside the hideout would help them. However, that is not the case. They will no longer make this assumption.


RIP. Was nice while it lasted.
 
So, now I can educate my children as they grow up, give my clan parties orders and the AI marries and has children in the late game, right?
