Mercenary Brotherhood Demo · published
This hotfix is mainly to add some usability and quality of life changes. Part it to explain hidden mechanics, such as to hit or what different races do, or add extra hotkeys, or make it easier to find information on the battle.
Tip:
Check out the guide. In battle press F1. It explains a lot about facing, combat, magic, etc.
Fixes
- Players shouldn't be able to scrying too early as it is tied to mid-late game threats. Refunding gold to players who used this too early and preventing scrying until the threats are unlocked (which is outside scope of demo)
Balance
- Enemy armor values have increased across the board for any enemies wearing armor
Usability/Graphics
- Added a help menu button in the Battles to help explain battle mechanics
- Added an improved hover over when recruiting to explain the race and background better. Hover over for >1.5 seconds or hold down shift to see
- Similar to above for seeing to hit calculations, hovering over a target in battle for >1.5 seconds or holding down shift will provide a better breakdown of to hit calculations
- In battle added hot keys for map rotations [ and ], as well as Guide F1, Settings F2, battle log L and Feedback F8. These can all be changed in the menu
- Tweak hover over message for Range Attack to mention it impacts to hit with magic
- Minor tweaks to the button sizes in battle
- Minor clarifications to the in game guide
- Tweaked message of telekinetic wave in battle logs
- Rats will no longer hover
Gameplay
- Sacked settlements now impacts economy, recruits and quests in settlements until they recover
- New tab in company screen to keep track of Warlords
- Warlords now gain in strength the more settlements they sack and their rewards improve the stronger they get
