Patch 3.1 is out!

[Franzy]

2Roman:

No.

[Borsuc]

I wonder what takes them so long to realese patch from June?
Or this two months were spend on adding/removing new "features" not mentioned in readme?

And they didn't even fix all the major balance issues, like the Arcane Archer. And I thought they were doing "extensive testing", bleh.

[parcaleste]

The majority of the "bugs" (like 80-90%) I didn't even notice

[Asheera]

Same here. I've only noticed the bug that the Battle Griffin landed on occupied positions.

Thanks Franzy!

Indeed, patch 3.1 for The Tribes of the East is out. Highlites of the patch include:


-all those wonderful undocumented changes
-Nival's splendid, no astonishing use of English (see the patch 3.1 ReadMe)
-new bugs perhaps not introduced this time but overlooked majority of the old ones

Considering the long delay it's quite disappointing, really. Luckily a friend of mine purchased the game for me as a birthday present, and thus I avoided financing a lazy developer and its publisher company who gladly let us to live under the false impression that they care.

Once again, nice work Ubival!

Did anyone else notice that Torpor seems to trigger A LOT more now? In several battles recently, it triggered over 50% of the time overall. I was already slightly biased in favour of the princes, now here's one more reason!

[Asheera]

Yes, a lot of those abilities trigger more often, as it is shown in the game data:

My guess is that those factors multiply the chances, so when you see a 2 it means it triggers twice as often as before... but this is just a guess.

[Caradoc]

I don't see a 3.01 file for the US on the list in the first post. Where do I get it?

[Asheera]

I have absolutely no idea, nobody complained before. Maybe you should try the "EU" version?

[PhoenixReborn]

Yes, US is in with the EU version.

Have the computer towns in the scenario 'Days of Fire' been altered? I played earlier and instead of finding fairly strong Dungeon and Sylvan armies found that I was able to beat them quite handily.
I see the Harpooner still doesn't throw anything...

[parcaleste]

I hate it when use Frenzy on Pixies third stack, to hit the close two more stacks next to them and they hit just ONE of these stacks, even though they are adjacent in the same line

Dunno if I managed to explain what did I want to say...

[godlyatheist]

Can archer's scatter shot unstealth stalkers now? I absolutely hate stalkers as haven early game.

[Asheera]

I think you can damage them, but they'll still be invisible. I think it works like you cast an area spell on them.
