Necromancers, update 1.05 brings improvements to army progression, campaign combat, and the new-player experience, making it more satisfying to build your legion and break through enemy Nests.
Lead a Larger Undead Legion
- Increased army capacity in the campaign. Undead no longer decay over time, allowing you to steadily build your legion.
- Expanded campaign maps and adjusted enemy numbers and placement to give larger battles more room.
- Improved your starting elite skeleton's progression and command abilities. It now grows visibly larger as it levels up, helping it stand out among your troops.
- The Chapter 2 Hulk encounter can strengthen an existing Hulk through devouring evolution, increasing its size and combat power.
Tougher Campaign Defenses
- Increased Nest durability so later defenses can better withstand concentrated attacks from your army.
- Adjusted boss area attacks and skill damage, and increased how frequently bosses summon reinforcements.
- Rebalanced enemy numbers and combat stats across difficulty levels to better challenge a growing legion.
A Clearer Introduction
- Streamlined the basic tutorial around attacking, summoning, commanding troops, and destroying Nests.
- Moved advanced instruction into tactical trials, reducing the amount new players need to learn at once.
- Command training now directs your legion toward a Nest, making the objective clearer.
- Removed the unfinished survivor encounters and related prompts to keep campaign objectives focused.
Combat and Performance Improvements
- Optimized unit avoidance and animation resource reuse in crowded battles to reduce stuttering and memory usage.
- Improved army pursuit and movement near screen boundaries.
- Existing campaign saves remain compatible. Saved Nests receive the new durability values while preserving their remaining health percentage.
