Phoenix / Five Animals / Gouged Eyes / Enduring Battle / Seven Advances adjusted, Conquest hard-tier achievements unlocked, three fixes……
Sorry for the trouble the last update caused. I stayed up all night reflecting and tuning the power levels back up — that last one really was a bit impulsive. Thank you all for the active feedback and corrections! (Swallows, I don't know what I'd do without you guys, swallows!)
Adjusted the balance of several Signature Talents:
Young Phoenix (Pang Tong): The Seal carried after revival is reduced from 3 turns to 1.
Five Animals (Hua Tuo): Changed to — when attacked, if the enemy's current HP is not lower than yours, permanently gain +1 max HP this run.
Gouged Eyes (Xiahou Dun): At the end of each turn, permanently gain 1 Attack and lose 1 max HP this run — stops triggering once max HP drops to 1.
Enduring Battle (Vanguard): For every 2 basic-attack kills (was 3), permanently gain 1 Speed this run.
Seven Advances (Zhao Yun): When attacked, if the enemy's Speed is not lower than yours (was: higher than), permanently gain 1 Speed this run.
Clearing Conquest Mode now automatically unlocks the achievements for defeating the Hard Divine / Demon / Saint / Demon(Yao) Mandates — Mandates in Conquest fight at Hard strength, so clearing counts as beating the Hard-tier Mandates.
Conquest "clear with N provinces opened" achievements now chain-unlock: fewer provinces opened means a harder clear — finishing Luoyang with just 1 province opened completes the 2~8 provinces achievements all at once.
Fixed an issue where, when Huangfu Song's "Troop Discipline" retreats a unit and redeploys at end of turn, other units' end-of-turn talents (e.g. True·Tyrannical Levy, True·Cunning Tyrant) would trigger early before the animation finished, overlapping the retreat animation.
Fixed clones summoned by "Mysticism" not displaying as semi-transparent, and possibly carrying an extra old talent replaced by an awakening (e.g. a Legendary Dong Zhuo's clone carrying the base "Tyrannical Levy").
Fixed the main-menu background video occasionally freezing when switching windows / tabbing out and back — this update tries a "pause on unfocus, auto-resume on refocus" approach (not guaranteed to fully fix it; if it still happens, feedback is welcome).
This update was rushed — I only had time to test it a couple of times. If you find any bugs I missed, please speak up! I'll keep listening and improving.
