All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

UPDATE 22/05 @ 14:30 BST:

Hey folks, we're happy to confirm that the Bhashiva Character Pack is now available on Mac & Linux! Once again, apologies to anyone who managed to purchase before today and was unable to access the content until now - thanks for your patience while we looked into this.

Hey folks,

Today’s Hotfix tackles some issues identified in the wake of Bhashiva’s arrival and Update 8.0’s release, including some extra balancing and a fix for the Sky Lantern’s HP, along with a variety of additional fixes and tweaks.

We can also confirm that Update 8.0 and Hotfix 8.0.1 will be arriving on Mac & Linux later today, and Bhashiva will be purchasable once more. Apologies to anyone who managed to purchase before today and have been unable to access the content - thanks for your patience while we looked into this.

As mentioned yesterday, our next planned release will be Patch 8.1 but our teams will be continuing to keep a close eye on things should any further Hotfixing be required. As always, if you run into any new issues after updating please do report them over in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum.

Hope you're all enjoying your time with Bhashiva and the Tiger Warriors!

All the best,

— Steve // Senior Community Manager


Campaign

General Fixes

  • Optimized performance on regions that have Slaanesh corruption applied

  • Fixed an issue where most hotkeys would stop functioning after dismissing The White Tiger's Calling event with ESC

  • Fixed an issue with the Armies of Shang-Yang campaign mechanic where upon merging units, losing them in battle or disbanding them meant their upgrades were lost. Now they are refunded and can be re-bought

  • Fixed an issue where a notification from the Armies of Shang-Yang campaign mechanic would wrongly trigger after completing one of the missions in Zhao Ming's Goals

  • Fixed an issue where having hotkeys enabled would cause an error in the Armies of Shang-Yang panel

  • Fixed a recurring issue where having hotkeys enabled would disrupt some of Bhashiva’s narrative dilemmas

  • Fixed an issue where a hardlock would occur when opening the Tiger Court or Armies of Shang-Yang panel and going through the scripted tour after they have been opened once before with another scripted tour ongoing

  • Fixed the "Reveal Relics" camera triggering too early if there is a caravan or other event at the same time

  • Fixed an issue so that when playing as Grand Cathay, buildings from the Conscription chain should now be able to properly upgrade and convert from Yin to Yang and vice versa

  • Fixed incorrect icon and ability shown over the "Cooldown to all spells" effect

  • Additional text translations added

Skills & Balancing

For the Astromancer hero:

  • Added a range of 35 to Astromantic Warding & Heavenly Bonds abilities

  • Reduced spell intensity by the "Celestial Conduit" skill from 20 to 10

Gate Masters:

  • "Sentry of Mettle" adjustments:

    • Upkeep reduction from 10% to 5%

    • Missile Strength from 15% to 10%

    • Reload Time from 12% to 10%

  • “Optimised Logistics” and “Preparedness Drills” skills stats corrected to:

    • Optimised Logistics - Ammo = 5% / 10% / 15%
      Fixed an an additional misleading visualization for "Optimized Logistics" that would show incorrect gains when improving the skill

    • Preparedness Drills - Defence = 2 / 4 / 6

  • Fixed a missing percentage sign for the bonus value of the Alchemist skill "Metallurgic Refining" as well as improved presentation within the character screen

  • Corrected the Melee Defence stat for The Jade Standard skill reduced from 10 to 4

Technologies

  • Fixed "Cooldown to all spells" effect to work on the Transformation of Kadon for factions not summoning a Manticore

Units

  • Fixed an issue preventing insignias from being assignable to RoR units

  • Fixed an issue so that one of the Gate Master’s buffs showed properly as a percentage in their UI

  • Fixed an issue where Taoyan did not have Harmony despite not being a Tiger Warrior character

  • Fixed an issue where the Alchemist was missing casting animations while mounted in the Sky Lantern

  • Fixed an issue where the Sky Lantern was wrongly categorised as both Yin & Yang when it is only Yin. Update: We are aware that the Sky Lantern is currently categorised as Yin under both Attribute and Ability - this is a topic we're continuing to look at in more detail for a future update. Sorry for any confusion.

Quest Battles

  • Fixed an issue in the Ogre Folly quest battle where enemy units wouldn’t respond appropriately to incoming missile fire

  • Fixed an issue where Ogre Folly's second phase objective to kill Lord Dechunga wouldn’t complete when he was routed

Units
