Hero missing:
In my play through I recruited Budo. Up to the mission before last mission, there was no thing particular. However in last mission I cant recruit him from keep (he is not showing). The other (koril, tao, ...) is fine

After a clean re-walkthrough the bug happen again. My choice: before Swan Pool I choose to go right, go right to get Koril and Tao + monks. I got Budo and can recruit him every missions except the last one (he's missing)

AI: wolf AI became way more too random and aggressive on the Uthara recruitment mission (Kenjis Journey, Hard). Computer throws everything it has on you very early on, 2-3 huge attacks in a row with little to no break in between them while player is barely able to make few units. The mission was already tricky before as sparse placed resources and poor starting army is a pain, making it a slow, boring and often hard mission already, enemy having bases near nearly all of the rice fields while palyer gets like 3 units and 2 peasants at the start. I play this game since 15 years and that's definitely not normal, I'm aware that AI tends to be random and behave a bit different with each playthrough but lately it became a joke on some missions. Please check this out as I don't know if I'm going crazy or something was changed with AI and it affected the gameplay, in a bad way, making it unplayable.

the game is always crashing when loading if I choose Start WOTW Game
any advice?

We would need more details regarding this as it works fine on our end. Try verifying the integrity of game files first and see if it helps.

Originally posted by Air:

In Kenji's journey, if you end a mission zoomed in, the cutscenes - map / path selection is zoomed too, and can't see anything of the dialogue / cutscenes / can't choose properly a path to continue the campaign.

Confirmed, we will get this fixed.

Forwarded the feedback to the programmers, thank you!

That would not be a bug then since we improved AI for the 'Hard' difficulty. That was done on purpose to once again provide a challenge for all players:

IMO I like it way more now. Old AI was way too Easy.

Hello, I have a problem
I cant change map and clan if I create multiplayer lobby, joining others lobby is fine

Hi!

My best guess would be your nickname, which may be too long for the game to handle, thus breaking lobby functionality. Shorten it and you should be able to host just fine.

We should be able to change that in the future.

[[Lord] protect me to [Levy]]

My version is 1.57.8. I login and see no any host. Then i ask my friend host and i still cant see him. I tried to validate files but its still work. Hope you guys can fix it soon.

Hi!

We have talked about this here, it's not really an issue on our side that we could possibly fix, but this should go away pretty quick.

[Norgaria]

thanks for bringing this back, can you do something about the resolution it seems to be stuck in the corner of the screen for me. also noticed a few people talking about the mini map and want to say the old trick for the GOG version of switching in and out of the game fixes the no mini map problem

input delay and "disobedient" units not following commands.

This was a useful website for me:

@Shootsurface, please, look at this topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1025600/discussions/1/3093389895541440776/

@TheOldRepublic, please, always look within the Steam Community first. The site itself copy-pastes information from all around the web, in this case-- this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1962225883

The issue itself has been fixed in the update 1.57.4 as has been stated in the official troubleshooting guide:

In graybacks journey, the mission where you gotta defeat Utara and protect the forest temple. Ai changes have basically broken the yellow friendly AI. They will now try to build a base at the rice field on the northwest area, whereas in the vanilla game their job was to use dryads and brawlers to protect the forest temple.

Now they will keep sending peasants across the entire map, instead of building units. Main problem is that when the serpent attacks them, they have no units, so they will simply be crushed and the temple will fall, resulting in a mission failure. It is still possible to beat the mission with a bit of luck, and by rushing your own units to protect the temple, but it becomes really tedious. This is a result of adding skrimish AI into the campaign.

Overall I do like the changes to the AI, so i'd rather not have the changes reverted for the campaigns, but maybe there is a way to script the yellow army into not expanding their base?
