Regarding patch 3.15

Kristoffer O · #1 March 6th, 2008, 02:22 PM

Hi

In order to avoid another wait for the patch we decided to release 3.15 and not wait for 3.16 which would include some minor stuff brought to our attentition by the beta group.

So here's a sum up of things that will be fixed:

- Hidden in sand description should mention that it only brings dustwalkers in wastelands.
- Hidden in snow and hidden in sand are affected by scales. SHould be mentioned in descr.
- Priest Smith is supposed to be somewhat older, lest they dominate the capital recruitment. The Iron Order is still quite insignificant.

---

Changes in 3.15

Hidden in Snow:
- Turmoil increases relative amount of warriors
- Magic increases relative amount of warriors
- Luck increases chance of mages.

Hidden in Sand:
- Order increases relative amount of warriors
- Magic increases relative amount of warriors
- Luck increases chance of Dust Priests.

Mage chance is no longer 50%, 50%, but 75%, 25%

Fossilized Giants is a new spell for LA Abysia. It is actually a spell intended for LA Gath, but Abysians also get it. LA Abysia is not supposed to have it as easily accessible as Gath. So the EN paths are WAD.

Cradle and Parganos maps are updated. If you have already updated them from the forum they will not be affected (I think). It is only the .map file that is fixed.

Fantastic.

Thanks for letting us know KO.

Actually, yes they are. Because the map files included in the patch have been tweaked some more to optimize the map and balance a few things that screwed it up. The first fixed versions were posted months ago, but there were actually quite a few changes to Cradle just before I sent it to you.

So... any clues what "Gath" has to do with?

Thank you for putting out the 3.15 ASAP. I'm glad to see the scales bug squashed. With it around it's nearly impossible to play a 4-5 dom rainbow mage nation.

Also, can you give some insight on the increase in Ermor dom-kill?
