Patch
Olden Era
Patch #10 version 0.80.24 has been released for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. The update wasn't the largest in terms of size, but it added a very noticeable feature for regular gameplay: troop formations are now saved during battles against the AI, based on the arrangement chosen in the tactical phase.
The formation is saved separately for each hero and applied in normal battles with neutral opponents. If the selected position is occupied by an obstacle or cannot be used for another reason, the unit will be placed in its default position. Visual display of unit movement in tactical mode was also improved, and a sound effect was added.
Among the important fixes were issues with hotseat and lobby after loading saves, problems with tournament templates involving duplicate or missing creatures in the last second of the timer, rare freezes of the computer player, crashes with simultaneous turns when using travel spells, as well as several interface bugs, campaign errors, Necromancer hints, and the "Word of Diplomacy" set.
For balance purposes, the avatar damage bonus from the hero's magic power has been temporarily reduced: the value is now 12-12 at all levels. Developers noted that this change was made before a future major balance update.
A complete list of changes is available on the HeroesWorld forum.
