Patch Notes - 2022 March 9th
Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2022 6:39 am
Factions
* Strongholds now require their tile to have at least 50 infusion of the stronghold creator's alignment to set. Destroying the infusion of a tile will not destroy a stronghold, however - though it will certainly stop that faction from setting up in the same place!
* The Unaligned now have their own default faction, the Freedom Array. The Array is comparable to the Heavenly Host and Legions of the Abyss and has comparable behavior in terms of politics, rank structure and stronghold placement. Transcended factionless characters have been added to this faction though of course you can leave at any time at no cost if your character did not want this.
Game Mechanics:
* Structural Engineering once again doubles Fortification, Barricade and Mound actions - however it does this doubling specifically to the base effect and the Strength skill bonus. Additional bonuses based on supernatural powers are calculated after the Structural Engineering doubling.
Quality of Life and Interface
* Cultivate Ground now shows what it costs to use and greys out the button if you're not in a position to use it instead of hiding the button.
Major Bugs
* Using a Homing Beacon or Word of Recall untaps from fonts.
* Fixed issues where Electric and Acid spell users were sometimes hindered from learning more spells by minimum CP limits.
* Leaving a faction (or being forced out by various means) removes Homing Beacons now.
* Resolved an issue where giving into a footlocker sometimes caused items to cease to exist.
* Fixed an issue that was keeping the Heavenly Host and Legions of the Abyss from having functioning stronghold wards.
* There was a succession of elusive bugs that kept yanking Bloodlust off of Child of Tlacolotl users who are supposed to have permanent Bloodlust, and every time we thought we found a cause it popped up somewhere else, so the 15-minute AP tick now checks if anyone has the skill but no Bloodlust and applies Bloodlust if so.
* Corrected issue where Tainted Bond did not deal additional spell damage (corrected prior to update).
* Corrected issue where successfully using Cut The Silver Cord caused an error.
* Zombies and Ghouls summoned up with Aura of the Crypt can now be rejuvenated properly.
Minor Bugs
* The Structural Engineering skill is required for the Remove Barricades button to exist as well as the functionality.
* Fixed an issue where in some very specific circumstances involving an exact configuration of supplemental damage, an Overlord assassination by an eligible claimant failed to give the seat to the killer.
