Changelog for Patch 1.6.66f1 (added 06 December 2017):

Our development imps have been hard at work for the past week addressing some
issues you highlighted to us in the latest patch. As always we’ve looked to
resolve any reports as efficiently and speedily as possible, and we’re always
looking for more. Never ones to cease our constructive efforts though, there
are a few minor improvements sprinkled on top of this hotfix too.

Gameplay
* Volcanic Bridge spell can now be cast on Blood tiles
* When you sell a defence or construct on a Stone Bridge it will no longer also sell the bridge
* Removed push forces caused by livestock and Ghouls, meaning they can no longer push other units, but can be pushed themselves

Visual Changes
* Reduced the saturation on the instruction arrow, making it a little less obnoxious
* Small visual changes to the Spirit Chamber
* Some corrections to the possession view of units based off the “Lord O’theland” model

Text Updates
* Updated Juggernaut name to make it more appropriate in Simplified and Traditional Chinese
* Updated mutator tooltips to give more information about disabling Fortified Walls, and disabling the ability to dig them out (all languages)
* Fixed a few typos

Miscellaneous
* Updated Unity Engine to 5.4.6f3 from 5.4.5p5 yielding a few minor improvements
* Please note that game engine updates are complicated affairs and can cause unexpected issues. This is only a minor leap and we believe we caught every issue, but please don’t hesitate to report anything that seems out of place.
* Added secret holiday cheer!
* Removed some unused audio.

Bug Fixes
* Sacred Earth will now display the correct gold texture in the icy terrain theme
* Fixed an issue where prisoner AI would continue to search for a bed to make in the Lair, which they could not reach, causing performance issues when a player had many prisoners
* Icy terrain theme should now load more consistently
* Empire Workers should now only play Empire audio
* Fixed a number of issues with the Ember Rift textures
* Unit animations should now slide slightly less when the animation displays them as stationary


Changelog for Patch 1.6.66f2 (added 06 December 2017):

Bug Fixes
* Lifted the Matriarch and huntress from beneath the floor, hiding will do her no good!
* Corrected idle animation jitter on the Priestess
* Impenetrable blocks which suddenly appeared in inaccurate locations have been removed
* Gave the dwarf bosses a lick of paint to brighten them up
* Arcane Templars no longer fly, much to their dismay
* Improvements to the Democorn and Priestess jitter
* Clipping corrections for the Chunder
* Huntress minibow corupted texture corrected

The changelog on the game page still shows only the changes up to 1.6.66f2.
It’s really annoying that GOG shows that a game update is there but doesn’t deliver the respective changelog entry on the game page. I know it’s not your fault, but maybe it’s more helpful if you guys let GOG know about that, than some random annoying customer ;)

That sounds like great news! Thank you so much!

Release Notes

Attention due to the impressive size of this patch we’ve yet to complete the full release notes. What follows are the highlights! Please check back in the future for more!

New Expansion: The Under Games

An all-new 7-level campaign
- Choose your Underlord and participate in a deadly tournament, set across a series of scenarios that call back to classic Dungeon Management gameplay!
- Each of the 4 playable Underlords has a unique playstyle, driven by their powerful traits and exclusive minions and Aspects.
- A completely overhauled AI awaits with 5 difficulty levels and a multitude of personalities to put you through your paces.
- Conquer arenas with distinctive layouts and a variety of visual themes, including the new blood-soaked Sanguine theme.
- 3 new Underlords with their own unique unlockable Dungeon Themes.
- 9 new Aspects expand your Veins of Evil, with new defences, constructs, potions and spells!
- New terrain features and shrines await in the Underworld, such as the ultra-hard Quartz and Moongate teleportation shrine.
- See this blog post for the full details!

New Game Modes

King of the Underhill
- War for the Overworld’s spin on King of the Hill
- Several Underhills are present on the map, that can be claimed and unclaimed in the same way that a Shrine can
- If you claim an Underhill, it will begin firing powerful projectiles at your opponent’s core every 5 seconds
- If an enemy also claims an Underhill, they will cancel eachother out
- You need to be in possession of more Underhills than your opponent in order for any of them to fire at the enemy Dungeon Core
- Dungeon Cores can sustain a total of 300 hits before being destroyed
- Dungeon Cores cannot be attacked any other way
- This focuses the action around the Underhills over an extended period of time, rather than forcing players into one single battle to end the match
- The recommended number of Underhills on a map is 3
- King of the Underhill only supports 2 teams (1v1, 2v2, 2v1 or 3v1), FFA doesn’t work

Core Shards
- Each Underlord is in possession of one or more Core Shards
- These Core Shards represent – you guessed it – shards of their Core!
- In order to defeat an Underlord, all of their Core Shards must be destroyed
- Dungeon Cores cannot be attacked directly – this forces players to attack and defend multiple locations simultaneously
- Core Shards supports any number of players in any team combination
- If two players are teamed up, their Core Shards are pooled and they live and die together

Revamped AI
- The AI has been completely rebuild from the ground up
- It now supports using every type of aspect, including Defences, Constructs, RItuals, Potions and Spells
- Several new personalities have been added (see below)
- Big thanks to Kieron Baxter-Cockbill & Jannes “Crythor” Jaudszims of our volunteer QA team for helping us make the AI as deadly as possible!

Personalities
- Ravager
- Used by Shale and Rhaskos

- Guardian
- Used by Volta and Marcus

- Gold-Digger
- Used by Kasita

- Undertaker
- Used by Lamash and Draven

- Steamroller
- Favours stacking to himself and building up a large force before cruising across the map and destroying anything in its path
- Used by Korvek

- Underlord
- As vanilla as can be – favours all aspects equally
- Used by Oberon

- Assassin
- An extra-intelligent and terrifying flavour of AI designed by some of the best WFTO players in the world – good luck!
- Used by Zeam

The Map Editor

MightyScript
- It’s simply not possible to communicate this fully with patch notes, so go and read this blog post instead!
- Big thanks to Thomas “Fluffiest” Parfrey, George ” Sliche” Smith and Simon Evo from our volunteer QA team

Bug Fixes
- Too numerous to count, but we would like to give an extra-special thanks to Philipp “Fireeye” Giese, Andrew “Nutter” Jagger, Aaron “Swizzle” Walker, Jared “Antking” Croslin and Klaus “Biervampir” Ringhofer from our volunteer QA team

Aesthetic Improvements

Over 100 New Animations
- Tons and tons of animations have been added to almost every unit in order to better telegraph their abilities in combat and
- Units now bend down and pick up their gold
- Units now pick up the Micro Piglet before ripping it apart
- Micro Piglets can now backflip and roll in the mud
- Many units now have additional combat animations that better link with the abilities effect

Overhauled VFX

Overhauled Materials & Shaders

- Fixed some corrupted materials (e.g Lord O Theland) to cleanup their look

New & Updated Systems

Sacrifices
- After unlocking the Sanctuary, you will now gain access to a new ‘Sacrifice’ ritual
- Activating the ritual will allow you to drop 3 units onto the altar
- After doing so, the ritual will complete and you will be rewarded with a prize!
- There are a number of recipes, but any combination that does not match a recipe will reward some gold

Moongates
- Moongates allow units to instantly travel from one part of a map to another
- Comes in two forms: a Construct and a Shrine, which both link up and behave in the exact same way
- Units will automatically use Moongates if they are the fastest (or only) route, no need for the player to interact

Banshees
- Banshees are a new type of unit with unique behaviour
- Banshees automatically seek out the closest enemy objective (primarily cores, secondarily inhibitors, etc) and path to it (shielded targets are always lower priority than non-shielded)
- Once it reaches its target or cannot get any closer to its target, it will explode, dealing a large amount of damage to anything nearby, including walls and friendly targets
- Damage is reduced against units
- Damage scales with the amount of remaining health the Banshee has
- Banshees cannot be picked up, healed, possessed, etc
- Slapping will detonate them early
- Used by the Empowered Banshee (Empowered Banshee Spell) and Banshee (Reanimation potion, Nether Shrine)

Mana

- Mana can now be gained from:
- Earning Sins
- Artefacts of Mana
- Mana Shrine (which has been revised – see below)
- Mana Vaults (new Construct)

- The main campaign and Heart of Gold are still limited to 1500 mana
- The Kenos now increases your mana pool to 2000 (in levels 12 & 13)

Veins of Evil
- Several new aspects from The Under Games have been added
- Some potions in the centre have swapped places
- Annex has moved from Wrath to Sloth
- Augrum Wall and Rampart have swapped places
- Titans now cost 5 Sins to summon, rather than 3
- See the image below for the new layout – the changes are highlighted

Work Experience
- Units now gain XP when working in most rooms
- The XP gained is equivalent to 17.5% of that gained in the Barracks, and will scale down as units level up in the same way that the Barracks does

Changelog for Patch 2.0.1 / GOG-21664 (Windows) / GOG-21664 (Mac) / GOG-21758 (Linux) (added 25 June 2018):

Mighty Script Becomes Mightier

Mighty Script has been a hugely ambitious undertaking and has already seen incredible use with hundreds of mappers already getting to grips with the new tools on the Workshop.

We've been taking feedback on Mighty Script from the community on what you'd like to see implemented and there's a handful of really cool features in the new patch as well as some improvements and optimisations to make existing scripts more powerful. Here's a quick summary:

- 10 New Triggers such as detecting when a spell is cast, a unit imprisoned or when a unit is attacked
- 2 New conditions including checking if players have a particular success key from the custom campaign features
- 24 New Actions with new AI commands, Dynamic Party configuration, Dialog Boxes, Tile Flashing or unit customisation actions
- Parties are now easier to setup and support additional unit configuration such as setting the speed and scale of the unit
- Numbers can now be Decimals as well as Integers
- Lists can now contain more types of variables and most values can accept input from variables or actions output to lists
- Other flow improvements and optimisations
- Various fixes

With all of these improvements Mighty Script has undergone quite a few changes but fear not your previous maps should be completely compatible and rest assured now that Patch 2.0.1 is in your hands and Mighty Script even more expansive we're now looking to get those tutorials to you asap!

Skirmish Smack Chat

We've livened up Skirmish audio with speech from ALL the Underlord opponents! They will now taunt you and react to various events as the battle progresses. You'll hear Oberon gallantly face defeat as his health dwindles; Kasita celebrate her victory by welcoming you into her treasure trove; Korvek proclaim that he is greater than the sum of his parts!

Now Mira can tell you herself that you are nothing but an earthworm to be squashed beneath her metaphysical boot

We got all the original actors back to reprise their roles, and added over 400 new lines of speech! This also includes the trio of Underlords introduced in The Under Games – Shale, Lamash, and Volta!

We hope this feature adds an extra layer of character and charm; but if you do want to turn the voices off you can do so from the Sound Options.

AI Advancements

Stefan, our artificial intelligence wizard, made huge renovations to the Underlord AI for Patch 2.0. But he hasn't stopped there, and has continued to conjure and tinker with the goal of giving you the ultimate challenge. And judging by the feedback from our loyal Foundry tester imps, he may well have succeeded!

AI improvements include:
- More entertaining gameplay, and more challenge for highly-skilled players
- The AI will play the Sloth tree in the Veins of Evil much more effectively
- Significant increase in the number of Aspects the AI can use and more build order variety per personality
- Optimised to work with the 2.0.1 balance changes
- Substantial AI performance improvements
