Posts from Patch 3.1 – we’ve been waiting for it.

Actually, I already posted it here.
/topic/at/191619/

Did we finally get there? :)

By the way, not all changes are described in the readme. For example, it doesn't mention that the balance in duel mode has been significantly improved. What's especially pleasing is that the overpowered Nimues and Karls have been nerfed.

I think the game will be noticeably more interesting now. It's a pity that I don't have anyone to play with yet - not everyone has installed the patch.

P.S. I think the poll from the topic can be deleted.

That's great. :) By the way, are there any changes to creature stats besides this? I can't install it yet, as I'm participating in a tournament. It would also be nice to see additional balancing of upgrades.

Didn't answer the question – is there a way to disable it, or does it only need to be deleted?

E... how are you planning to have two versions on your computer at the same time? Naturally, as with everything else, if you update, then "rolling back" is only possible by deleting the game.

They removed Nimues and Karl, but kept Helmar and buffed Ossir.

It's very simple, if you have enough space on your disk. Before installing any patch, I always make a copy of the old version, just in case. However, in this case, it's not difficult to reinstall the game if you haven't installed a huge number of mods.

Important!!! Now, fans of the original game have very good reasons not to switch to TE :smile26:

Here are some undocumented changes... (taken from the official Nival website)

-Adept now has 2 shots;

-Greater Demons: +1 defense, -1 initiative, triple damage from retaliation after jumping;

-Neutrals move randomly when the enemy uses invisibility;

-Wailing Curse deals double damage;

-Astral Dragons' attack now casts Wailing Curse on Expert difficulty (was Standard);

-The aura of Rotting Zombies reduces attack by 3 (instead of 2);

-Crippling Blow reduces initiative by 20% and speed by 40% (was 30% and 50%);

-Manticore's poison lasts 10 rounds (was 3);

-Rage absorbs less damage overall, but the same amount of Rage points now allows you to preserve more health;

-Storm Wind reduces the initiative of flying creatures by 20% and speed by 2 (was 10% and 1);

-Fog Cloud reduces ranged damage by 25% (was 10%);

-Path of War adds 250 movement points (was 350);

-Water Elementals were nerfed - 5 of them dealt 144 damage with a boulder, now they deal 43;

-Divine Retribution was nerfed:
Easy: FRAGS*(sppower + 7)
Normal: 2*FRAGS*(sppower + 7)
Hard: 3*FRAGS*(sppower + 7)
Expert: 4*FRAGS*(sppower + 7)

It’s good that the gameplay has become more diverse, but otherwise, the changelog is just full of bug fixes. By the way, there’s not a word about the low chance of Light appearing on the Tinuviel creature. And the trapper method for finding invisible creatures is now all the rage.

I seem to recall seeing something on an English-language website about fixing the chance for the "Light" spell from 4% to 8% and for "Magic" from 8% to 4%. But I can't say anything for sure about this.

So, the issue with the Light spell for Elves was never clarified? This bug bothered me the most for almost a year.

Finished C1M2 (for Arantir). Installed the patch. In the readme, I found something that raised suspicion about a bug fix for completing the original campaigns. I don't have the readme on hand, so I can't describe the suspicious phrase exactly. Removed the mod that fixes texts and campaign glitches. Launched the unpassable campaign without the glitch fix in 3.0 C5M3 (purple units don't move). Retrieved the castle, put Faelan on the ship, and started pressing the "end turn" button. At the beginning of the 2nd week, a purple unit arrived and captured the castle. I didn't check other missions from the original game. It is written that the algorithm for the computer's units fleeing the battlefield has been changed. I didn't notice any difference. In 3.1, the computer's hero fled from Ornella and Arantir, even though they had a quite capable army. However, they didn't flee as quickly as from Faelan in version 3.0 in C5M5. There, even the entire Jamaican team led by Bolt wouldn't have caught them. The additional mission "Dark Messiah" also launched without problems in 3.1.

Downloaded and installed the patch:smile42:
Started testing it in hotseat mode:smile13:
I really liked it:smile20:
I think it has become much more dynamic, and the balance seems to have improved overall...

In my opinion, the patch didn’t really fix the balance issues; they just fixed some bugs and glitches.
