Patch 1.9.5.83.5749 (26 October 2017)

Balance:
- Fast moving cavalry have +5 extra defence against bullets while moving.
- Bullet critical hit doesn't trigger on moving fast cavalry units.
- Multibarrel cannons have twice larger logical size, so it is easier to destroy them with artillery.
- Multibarrel cannons limit was changed from 5 to 3 per artillery depot.
- 18 century shooters without bayonnete production speed increased from 15-20%.
- 18 century dragoons production speed increased from 7-17%.
Next changes to food and stone prices were applied in previous patch:
- Food selling price was decreased by ~15%.
- Stone selling price was increased by ~8%.

Mercenaries:
Light Infantry
- Attack damage increased from 15 to 16.
- Won't have +2/+2 formation bonus anymore.

Archer:
- Attack damage increased from 24 to 25.
- They won't have +2/+2 formation bonus anymore.
- Attack range changed from 350-650 to 300-750 (min-max attack range).

Bug fixes:
- Fixed bug, allowing player was able to earn gold by ordering production of mercenary units (when they have already maxed price) and canceling production.
- Tuned AI market resource exchange policy, for better base developing.
- Tuned AI player to better constuct shipyards on island maps.
- Fixed rare bug with uncontrolable formation in historical battles.

Players communication:
- Private messages were reworked. Now you are able to send private messages without /w (/whisper) command! You may just click on player in list (located on right to the chat window), or on his\her message in chat window in order to write directly to him, as writing nickname correctly for each message was hindering communications.
- Message filter. You may filter all messages with next options:
a) Show all messages;
b) Show only your messages along with messages sent to you.
Forget about missed opportunites on playing interesting battles with your friends, just because their messages were 'lost' in global chat, just use a "Private messages" checkbox in upper right corner of chat window.
- Instant inputbox's addressee clearing: after reaching ':' symbol before his nickname: just press the Backspace button twice.
- You won't be wasting time on clearing message anymore: just press button "Clear" (located under the chat window), and you'd be ready to write a "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks". Reminder: you may delete your message with 'Escape' button too.
We hope, that this chat update would allow you, cossackers, to find and create lots of great multiplayer battles!

Developer comments:
- Changes in market prices should move focus from food to stone in middle and late game. Now, food economy was dominating most part of the game.
- Most of 18 century dragoons was less powerful then their 17 century brothers. We tried to change it and give 18 century better chances, but with much greater price to produce enough power.
- Most of 18 century shooters with out bayonnete was less powerful against general musketeers and don't have chance to play its unique features with higher bullet damage but more fragile against any melee enemy unit.
- We have removed formation bonus for mercenary infantry, while increase base damage, for units that don't use officers to form squad. We find this feature non-challenging while it give quite unpredictable advantage. Removing such bonus made these mercenary units power predictable.

Patch 21071 (27 October 2017)

- The DLC is currently only available in English but we are working on the translations! The rest of our supported languages (Simplified Chinese, German, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Polish, and Brazilian PR) will be available in a few days. We currently estimate Tuesday Oct 31 but will keep you updated! We apologize for the inconvenience and are working as fast as we can on this!

The Shieldbreaker DLC - Now Available!
- Hailing from the distant windswept dunes of the east, the Shieldbreaker arrives in the Hamlet! Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now...
- The Shieldbreaker is a powerful ally in the fight to reclaim the Estate and banish the evil that squats in the Darkest Dungeon. A highly-tactical hero with solid damage dealing capability, she truly excels when countering monsters with high protection and those who guard their allies. Her movement, speed, and targeted abilities make her a valuable ally for dismantling intractable monster groups. Though relatively low health, the Shieldbreaker is yet highly survivable in short bursts thanks to her Aegis shield.

Darkest Dungeon
- New Feature: Curio Tracker
- As you interact with curios in the game, you will see icons on the items in your inventory that will help you remember which ones yielded positive or negative results! This feature will allow you to build up your own knowledge base of curio hints through experience!
- You can turn this function off in the Gameplay Options. (Default is set to ON)
- New Combat Mechanic: Stealth. Stealthed monsters cannot be targeted by direct attacks unless that attack has the Bypass Stealth quality. Stealth generally lasts for the first 2 rounds of combat. Stealthed monsters can be hit with indirect attacks such as AOE.
- These Monsters have been given Stealth beginning at Veteran level:
- Brigand Fusilier
- Brigand Hunter
- Crone
- Pelagic Shaman
- Bone Soldier
- Swine Slasher
- These Skills have been given Bypass Stealth and De-Stealth. In other words, the attacks can hit stealthed monsters AND pull those monsters out of stealth.
- SHIELDBREAKER (see DLC)
- Highwayman: Tracking Shot
- Arbalest/Musketeer: Rallying Flare
- This skill now targets one enemy to remove stealth, while still granting its original party buffs.
- Antiquarian: Flash Powder
- Occultist: Vulnerability Hex
- Leper: Intimidate
- Added a Mute when Game Window is not focused option
- Fix to crashing when backing out of difficulty option when creating a new game.
- Controller Support Fixes
- Improved menu controller support to save location of option category you were last on.
- Fix to selecting dlc / mods on lower profiles with controller.
- Fix confirm dlc button use with controller on lower profiles.
- Fix to Siren controlling a hero when dying by dot bug.
- Fix to Final Boss not transforming brain bug.

- Fixed tooltip bug where LOW DMG was being shown without %

The Crimson Court
- Deaths from traps in the Courtyard now properly show up in the graveyard.
