SpellForce: Conquest of Eo: Neues Update verfügbar, PC erhält Mod-Support

NEW

• You can now create MODS for the game. This allows you to change a wide variety of settings and numbers to change the way the game works. It is only basic modding support, so you can’t create your own scenarios or change the visuals, but you can change a lot of ow the game behaves.
• Language Support – there is now an easy way to crate your own language version for the game and share that with others.

Improvements

• The construction sites now have an icon on the world map to be more visible.
• When finishing a research, excess research now carries into storage. Does not accumulate when not researching anything.
• Units at maximum level do not reduce the amount of XP awarded to other units in the stack anymore – they are done gathering experience.
• The AI can now better handle destructible objects blocking its way and destroys them to reach your army.
• Substantially sped up AI thinking time for all teleporting units (Molerider, Gargoyle, Wendigo…).
• The Mind and Demon slots are now visually distinct, even when a demon is equipped.
• Adjusted anchors for troll and demon units, which made certain effects disappear or look wrong on them.
• ‘Chaotic Meld’ now always supports the node-owner’s army, even when attacking an enemy on the node.
• A unit’s level up options are now displayed as a grid in the unit details, not interfering with other UI elements when having a lot of options (to all modders: up to 25 can be displayed comfortably).
• Autoresolve was further tweaked.
• Pandemonium’s research description more clearly hints at what it does.
• Transition between 3d world and overview map is now faster.
• The displayed rewards in the adventure screen can now be scrolled if there’s too many.

Balancing

• When receiving spellpages, there is a higher chance to find spell pages of your primary and secondary schools.
• ‘Cleanse Ally’ only works on allies and does not remove ‘Rise from Ashes’ from own units.
• ‘Tabula Rasa’ has been reworked and now removes all debuffs from ally as well as all buffs from enemy units.
• Potent Water can now be used in battle to extinguish the Burning status effect.
• ‘Throw Sand’ executes only one attack and does not consume all actions anymore.
• Gravok the Hexwielder isn’t slaveable/mindcontrollable anymore.
• Weak player stacks will not trigger interrupt events, so your workers don’t get piled on all the time.
• The Death school spell ‘Unnatural Regeneration‘ now works on all units, not just Undead.
• All Demon lords are now ‚Unstoppable‘.
• Improved stats of the ‘Greater Glyph of the Pathfinder’.
• The ‘Raise Undead’ skill does not end the caster’s turn anymore.
• Balanced the ‚Command‘ and ‚Motivate‘ skills to be closer in power.
• Changed the debuff for Slaves.

• Fixed the ‘Troll vs Undead’ adventure in Regan Gor having reversed outcomes.
• The ‘Stolen Resources’ quest doesn’t appear as frequently anymore.

• The adventures regarding the Misty Coast ‘Dragon Bones’ appear more reliable and have a clearer line of action.

Bugfixes

• Fixed ‘Execution’ working on any attack, regardless of description type. Now it only works for a specified type.
• Fixed the ‘Succumbed to Wrath’ achievement for siding with Demon lord Azra’Zil (will not be awarded retrospectively).
• Fixed the artificer’s ‚Master Smith’ achievement not triggering. (For those who haven’t received it by reaching 116 recipes, it should now be awarded after crafting any glyph.)
• Fixed an issue with Autoresolve where both armies could end up with 0 HP left.
• Fixed an issue with Autoresolve not correctly tracking damage dealt for demon level requirements.
• Fixed the issue where the Next Action button got stuck when firing a unit with remaining level ups.
