Beta Patch Notes e1.5.7

[Brocephus]

I'm thinking this may be the release where I do a full playthough. Trying to decide on hardmode Sturgia or ezmode Khuzait.

 

[Adrivan]

Any idea when smithing will be balanced/fixed ?

 

[Worlok]

Nice job TW! Thanks!

Can someone describe what these lines mean?

Singleplayer

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

• Clan Tiers are now rebalanced in order to make a bell curve between tier 3 and tier 4.

Other

• The game will retain the time flow state while switching between the UI and the campaign map.

1. Will the bell curve cause to stop/slow down/decrease clan progression between tier 3 and 4? That would be a nice improvement. Of course I expect it would be conditioned to some mechanics...
2. This time flow state I don't understand at all. Is this just a minor correction in time recording when entering/exiting UI (to have exact same time)??

 

[Gladius Maximus]

• Relations between lords now also affect their target selections. If a player has a good relation with a lord, that lord will be less likely to initiate hostile actions against the player’s settlements (it’s still possible). This mechanic applies to AI heroes as well, not just the player.
• The probability of NPC parties raiding the villages has been slightly reduced.

Hallelujah this was driving me nuts, i had only time to protect my villages from being raided hopefully this means that i can also go on the attack from time to time

Jeeez mexxico said this update will come quicker than usual but i didn't expect it this quick. And it also seems pretty cool to play around with.
Welp, time to start a new playtrough
Also huge thanks for this one!

1. I think this means that the apex of the bell curve (with y being number of clans) will lie between tiers 3 and 4. One other words, the most common clan tier will be tier 3 and it will go down in either direction.

2. I think this is just the UI remembering what map time speed you were on when you entered a UI window and restoring it properly.

This patch is phat. Almost 16 GB on Steam >:3



Are there plans to have all conversations in the game to be voice-acted? Based on another comment, it seems like this is specifically for a single conversation with Istiana, but I'm curious about all conversations.

Don't know their plans, but in the filed for the MP beta there were voice dialogue recording for many of the wanderer back grounds and a lot of clips for lords/ladies, so maybe this stuff is coming as polish someday.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks

 

[Revverie]

Added a new server region: Western North America. Renamed North America region to Eastern North America.

I got excited for 2 seconds

 

[Short_n_quick]

Wow, probably fixed memory leak? Nice, I was waiting for that, rebooting game every now and then was tidious.
Sad there is no fix for "Escort caravan" change of target city, but it is not gamebreaking, so I can wait.

 

[Gandamula]

Good, let me see if my mods work. But don't stop, keep adding stuff

I was thinking about you when I read that lol

 

[sleepy dragon]

Make North America central, not east and west

 

[TheBerserk]

Visual improvements on some Battanian houses.
Visual improvements on Vlandia arena models.
Visual improvements on various interior building models.
Various village improvements.

cool but sorry i don't understand why u create other village scene
nobody visits them
I'm not sure it's definitely a priority

same on 1.5.6

14 new villages were added.

 

[Brocephus]

First two things I notice:

1) Interface interactions such as clicking on buttons have a MUCH slower response. Often the sound occurs well before the visual response.
2) More map stuttering.

they want to add a different scene for every settlement

The number of clans and their tiers have been rebalanced and now look like this.

This results in a nice bell curve of clans that now looks like this.

It's meant to keep the tiers more stable and balanced out during the initial gameplay. With rebellions and regular progression, fluctuations between clans of different tiers will still occur. It just evens out the starting grounds in terms of clan variety.

 

[Weaklion]

great but why battania and strugia who get new armours ?!


what about aserai

why no love for aserai

 

[tRDx]

Please fix the launch of the game through EGS. Game with 1.1.6 does not start after updating.

I just seem to see them at each patch
