The main reason for today's update is to fix a couple of bugs that have been reported recently. While very difficult to stumble upon, they had the potential to be fairly annoying.
I have also taken the opportunity to apply a few minor balance tweaks.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that could prevent ambushes from triggering at the appropriate time.
- Fixed a bug that could make a fight freeze at its conclusion.
- Flori2412 sent me a couple of corrections to his German translation, which I thankfully applied.
Changes
- The hand-to-hand fights against phalangites now last 24 rounds instead of 20.
- The difficulty of the rolls for the first three places of the elite javelin contest based on distance (part of the contests you can select shortly after your first raid in Upper Macedonia) has been reduced a little.
- Your share of the loot after the siege of New Carthage is now 120 denarii instead of 80. If you volunteered for the hazardous assault on the citadel, you get a prize worth 150 denarii instead of 100.
