Here's the list with changes we've made:
Game Changes:
- Trade penalty for selling or buying the same item in a town reduced.
- Mercenary Contracts
- Persuasion benefit towards increasing payment from mercenary contracts improved slightly.
- You should now receive additional pay based upon your level and the level of your companions.
- You will now be able to end a mercenary contract by speaking to the ruler of your faction.
- Lowered the speed for the "Two-handed Mace" from 98 to 88.
- "Mamluk's Round Shield" will now spawn in Sarranid stores vs. Nord ones.
- "Horsemans Mace" no longer has a thrust damage value.
- Town/Village upgrade "Barracks" in a town or castle will improve the quality/number of recruits in the villages attached to it.
- It will also get your towns/castles better reinforcements if you use the Mange this Town/Castle->Recruit some troops option.
- Auto-loot
- Will now show what each companion upgraded to when used as it did during the open beta.
- Will no longer alter which books a companion is carrying.
- Reworked + Expanded troop trees:
- All tiers of Nord troops get +1 Athletics & +1 Ironflesh instead of just the final tiers.
- All shield-bearing Nord troops receive +1 Shield.
- Nord archers now have more power draw and less power throw. Their proficiency with archery has improved and with thrown weapons has been reduced accordingly.
- Starting weapon proficiencies for the Nord have changed so they have +30 one-handed and +10 two-handed (instead of the other way around).
- Changed the damage type several bows from piercing to cutting. This is to prevent low-tier archers from having an unbalanced advantage against heavily armored units while still being very effective against low armored troops. Crossbows haven't had their damage type changed giving them an effective boost in power.
- Increased the ammo of throwing weapons.
- Lowered the accuracy of the bows and crossbows with 10%.
- Lowered the stats of the Black Khergit Horsemen.
- Raised the level of the lords and kings.
- View All Items now displays item difficulty requirements.
- Gave the Slaver Chief a bow and adjusted the stats of the elephant.
Upgraded Features:
- Tournament Play Enhancements upgraded to 1.5
- New betting system implemented.
- You can now designate whether you want to use the native or arena overhaul mod's scene in a tournament on a town by town basis from the tournament design panel.
- Difficulty scoring implemented. Final tournament payouts now key off of this value.
- Final monetary reward maximum for tournaments increased to 7500 denars.
- Extended the cooldown period on the tournament invitation quests to 10 days.
- Companions will now receive the items they are listed as winning in a tournament.
- Loot table was refined a bit to provide a more even distribution of value and usefulness.
- Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment upgraded to 0.92.5
- Shield-bash key-configurable
- Key-controlled rotated added to mouse-operated DeathCam
- Pre-Battle orders 'snap into place' at battle start
- Pre-Battle orders now available for alternative divisions activated by splitting a troop type into 2 divisions
- Pre-Battle Planning and Tactics 'Info Pages' added for in-game documentation
- Formations AI changes--120 second limit for the "setup" and "jockey" phase for the AI, meaning they will be forced into action if no one has died after 2 minutes. If there are 2 AI teams (the player is enlisted or has an ally), the attacker side will be forced to move even if both sides are of roughly equal size.
- Some bugfixes (Custom Camera, Formations, and Split Divisions mainly; pre-battle options now work in conjunction with siege defenses)
- Freelancer
- If your lord is defeated and you captured, you are no longer relieved of service. You will have 20 days to get back to your lord and resume service (or request to be dismissed) or you will be labelled a deserter.
- Tracking Quests added: your quest log will now show who you are enlisted with, your current rank, and count from the date of enlistment. Vacations/leave, and the need to return to your lord after defeat and capture also can be tracked in the Quests/Notes screen.
- Pop-up dialog windows will give a more obvious warning 1 day before your leave/capture return is set to expire to prevent "accidental" desertion.
Bug Fixes:
- General Fixes
- The script "get_lord_home_center" errors should no longer occur.
- A handful of minor Native coding errors corrected (mainly dealing with campaign AI/marshal decisions)
- Auto-loot should now pick proper helmets for upgrading.
- Fixed a wrong Khergit upgrade path.
- Reduced the price of noble outfits: lords now should think twice about wearing their cloths instead of armor into battle.
- Corrected the stats for the A6 Swadian Yeoman Archer.
- Tournaments
- Companions will no longer gain free points following a round they competed in.
- There will no longer be a duplicate 33rd competitor in the post-combat ranking screen.
- You should no longer get script errors spamming during a tournament match after using the 'escape' menu.
- If you own a town, you will no longer attempt to invite yourself to your own tournament.
- Troops will no longer appear naked in the post-combat ranking screen.
- The "apply to all centers" checkbox in the tournament design panel should function properly now.
- Completion of the Tournament Invitation quest should now give a reputation gain with the hosting lord as was intended in 2.5, but only if you were invited.
