Greetings Warriors of Calradia!
We are now on a four-day streak!
Cargo capacity is increased for all ship types, and lighting for darker atmospheres has been adjusted. Bow skills of Fian Champion and Khan’s Guard have been reduced, and we have made further tweaks to the naval storyline.
Thank you all for your support and patience. We’re following your feedback and reports closely.
Please note that there may be a delay between the download of the base game and the download of War Sails. If you launch the game prior to both of them being updated, you will crash. If you face this issue, please verify your game files.
Please also note that Console hotfixes arrive with a delay, as their release processes take a bit more time. Releasing to PC without waiting on this process allows us to gather data and feedback more quickly - benefiting all platforms.
The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.
Changes
Reduced enemy reinforcement ship count from 3 to 2 in the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest.
Increased cargo capacity for all ship types.
Increased Trade Ship prices to better reflect their improved trade capacity.
Reduced the cargo capacity cost of pack animals to avoid overly penalizing trade gameplay and to reduce potential issues for AI nobles. Still subject to balancing efforts.
Vlandian and Sturgian mariner troops now use culture and tier-appropriate shields.
Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused the naval storyline alley-fight dialogue with Gunnar to trigger inside the port scene, which would cause a crash.
Fixed a bug that caused pirate parties to have too many ships.
Fixed a bug that caused ships from disbanded parties to be distributed incorrectly among clan parties.
Fixed a bug that caused inventory capacity tooltips to display incorrect weight values.
The following changes are part of the base game and apply to the War Sails expansion as well.
Changes
Reduced the bow skills of Fian Champions and Khan's Guards. This reduction should have a more pronounced effect on naval combat (War Sails) than on land battles.
Fixes
Improved lighting for night and overcast atmospheres.
Crashes
Fixed a crash related to mounts that occurred while saving the game.
Fixed a crash related to expanded tooltips on the campaign map.
Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to retreat from an army during a siege.
