Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.4 changelog

Published on September 23, 2013 By DerekPaxton In LH Support

*** Released 10/24/2013 ***

Features

Added the Fallen Enchantress scenario.

Added the Slam ability (monsters with this ability get a 25% to cause victims they attack to lose their next turn).

Tech updates now merge if the internal name matches (for modders).

Added the Summon Darkling spell

Added the Summon Spider spell

Added the Summon Harridan spell

Added the Summon Wilding spell

Added the Summon Shrill spell

Added the Summon Plaguestalker spell

Fixes

Fixed an issue that revealed the entire map for human players when the AI cast Ineluctable Vision.

Fixed bug where if main map objects were asked to be selected while the tactical window was up (could cause some odd behavior when exiting tactical battles).

Cities now make sure their hubs match the city's selected state, so that we don't have issues where a city appears to be selected but is not actually selected, and vice versa (usually manifested as difficulty selecting/deselecting a given city hub).

Fixed a bug where sometimes conquering an AI city wouldn't allow you to do certain production projects until you reloaded the game, due to the projects not always getting cancelled correctly.

Fixed some artifacting issues on forests (unfortunately this isn't as exciting as having magical artifacts in forests, the graphics guy tell me that artifacts are a bad thing).

Fixed an issue where Champion Shimsher could get Sweep twice.

Fixed lots of issues with placing rivers in the editor.

Fixed the Gust of Wind ability (not the spell), where it wouldnt knock units back if they resisted.

Fixed annoying issue where the hour glass cursor would show when looking at the tech tree.

Fixed common-ish crash bug due to multiple cities looking at the buildable improvements list at the same time.

Fixed a deadlock issue with regards to cities looking at resources (would appear to player as a lockup).

Fixed an issue where you could have a trait selected in the trait tree from a former champions selection.

Improved performance, especially on late game large maps.

Crash fixes.

I just had Umber cast Tremor on the same army about twelve times in a row. Same army all the time. I was well frozen, but casting on an army that is already immobilized is a tad excessive??

Also, I noticed in a recent game that the Air Elemental Scroll costs mana to summon the Air Elemental. Why is that? If I recall correctly, Fireball Scrolls and Wellspring Scrolls do not cost mana to cast. I don't think the other Elemental summons do either. Seems like an odd ball in that scrolls are loot or purchasable items and should not require mana to cast.

Is it possible that a mod does this? I have the same issue in my games, Air Elemental and Burning Wraith (the ones I've tested) require mana to cast. What's worse, if you don't have the mana to cast it and you try to cast it, it is used up at the end of the battle.

If it's in a mod as extra....I don't know which one. I play like 20 mods...

In the base game there is no mana cost on either the Air Elemental Scroll or the Dark Candle. Sounds like a mod issue.

Might I make a request (I'll even rewrite the quest portion), the wonderful dragon spell Vatulas Dragonslayer spell, seems a might overpowered , might it be a scroll instead of a spell, don't want to just slay all the dragons on the map with this spell. You can even attach a mana cost to the scroll.

It's beyond excessive, it's the AI ignoring game rules again. You can't cast tremor on a unit already effected by it, which means as a player you can't permanently lock down a unit, they always get one turn to move between when it wears off and you can cast it again. The AI ignores this and just spams it every single turn on the same unit.

I thought that spell didn't do anything, never tried it after people said it didn't do anything. They lied to me?

haha.. It's all good, like obamacare. But I am shocked and appalled that I was misled by more than one person about this. I'm over it haha.

So this 1.4 patch notes. It says unreleased.

Are you looking for more bugs / errors to correct before releasing it? (hence the post before the release?)

Are you posting it because it'll be distributed soon, via steam?

We already have a "Slam" ability ... it's called "Bash". Shouldn't "Slam" do something different like divide army stack into separate single-unit armies or throws army into another adjacent army causing first army's attack damage into second army?!?

Spoilers should not be on the changelog... hence the ***wink***

*** Unreleased ***

Added the Slam ability (monsters with this ability get a 25% to cause victims they attack to lose their next turn).

umm....does that mean that all the existing creatures are getting an overhaul if Slam is to be warrented?

or does that mean that only the few new creatures added to the game in 1.4 will have Slam?

EDIT: nevermind. reading is tech.

Though, the earth elementals were quite strong in there own right. Giving them further improvement seems....odd.

How's that Pyre of Man improvement coming along. nudge nudge...

In addition, if you are overhauling some creatures, I did post a quasi-review on the Binding elementals. Can be viewed here in reply #21:

Slam doesn't seem too overpowering, but it will be a nice add to the utility of these creatures when summoned. After all, Earth Elementals are still incredibly slow.

Yes, something to improve Pyre of Man would be great.

Also, like others, I note that the AI also casts spells like Tremor and Freeze on Caravans, but hopefully the fix to Wither catches that.

A slam seems to be a bash without the hammer

slam causes victim to lose turn. bash is the attacker losing a turn.
