Significant update for Ice and Fire DLC is incoming!

[Sneaksie(RUS)]

Brace yourselves and don't start a new playthrough before it (as you may know, the KB games generate the world when you start anew game thus restarting is needed for many changes to kick in).

2) Christa's Gift (max upgraded) rage ability doesn't work on enemies of level higher than second. And I swear, I remember it was working in original version, without fire and ice dlc.

strange, i hadn't experienced this, in my playthrough at first Christa'a gift was working only on lvl 1 enemies, but then there was an upgrade that expanded it to levels 1-3.

Well, I dunno, everything was fine for me in original campaign, just when I started playing DLC, this ability stopped working on creatures 3-4 levels (tested with 2 characters); however their status displays, that they are affected by greed's curse.

UPD. Also, animation of Necrox' "eat corpse" ability is broken. And by the way, why can't Necrox/Tirex eat corpse via predator ability of undead/dead lizardman straight after killing it? I mean, they still can eat undead, but only using "eat corpse" ability.

Here is the changelog:

1. Poison effect canceling for lizards is shown in the battle log correctly now.
2. Two stacks of troops under Invisible Link effect will no longer damage each other continuously until it wears off (now the second stack will get damaged once).
3. Necro-Lyakush in Marshan Swamp now sells Worms.*
4. One NPC in Ice Gardens and one in Grotland now can sell troops.*
5. Now you can't get more than one Alucard artifact and it recharges slightly faster.*
6. Shops in Island, Grotland and Tungsinn are slightly altered.*
7. Contrabandist in Isterreng sells maps to Freedom Islands if you complete the quest about pickaxes.*
8. Crafting items using schematics costs a correct amount of resources.*
9. Now you have an option of not using allies help in final battles even if you have them.
10. Your magic book will not be erased in final battles if you choose to not to accept your allies help.*
11. Diplomacy skill affects undead.
12. You need to defeat less heroes to get higher tiers of the 'Headhunter' medal.
13. If you have Crown equipped and receive a level up you will get a message telling you which bonus Rune you've got (it is shown in level up window along with other Runes you receive during level up).
14. Necromancers can raise killed Jotuns as Black Knights.
15. You can still access the castle in Verlon Wasteland after defeating its lord.*
16. More troops are availble for hire at Orc shops in Freedom Islands.*

Unfortunately, points marked with * symbol require starting a new game.

Thanks for posting this, this is good news.
Too bad I recently started the campaign and I don't feel like restarting now :\

I see no mention about any changes to 'Thread of Life' - goblin shaman skill. It's currently really, really broken - it can't be dispelled and the damage is not shared, it's just transferred to affected troop, causing extreme losses. Doesn't help that it lasts 4 turns too.

I'm playing beta and my game keeps crashing when I'm trying to travel to Ice Gardens

hope devs are reading this thread and there is a way to fix it without restarting the game, i'm already 60 hours in. and yes, I tried to verify files via Steam, it didn't help.

Sorry to bother you Sneaksie, but do you have any ETA for this patch? I wanted to start up another game of Warriors of the North and managed to catch this thread, so I am deciding to wait until the patch before I start it. Thank you.

[Sneaksie(RUS)]

As soon as the bug reported above is fixed.

I always respect developers who wait for patches to be as free of bugs as possible instead of releasing it right away. Nice job!

[Doctor.Pingas]

I hate to sound ignorant but has this update been released yet? I just installed the game after purchasing it from the Steam sale but I won't actually start playing until this is released as it sounds quite important. Thanks!

[Sneaksie(RUS)]

No, it is not yet released. We hope to release it after the weekend.

Thanks for reporting the error, it should be fine now.

The current beta is planned to be released as the main version today.

Excellent! I played a new game for about 20 hours up to Greenwort before I noticed this thread. Now I've been suffering from withdrawal effects for over a week...

[maister_Pernat]

So, the update is out. I tested it and it fixed my issue, I was able to travel to Ice Gardens with my old save, it works, no crash now. Thanks!

[Sneaksie(RUS)]

Great, enjoy it!
