GAMEPLAY

Added exploding Wadjets whilst a Titan is alive to make the fight more challenging.


Increasing the potency of damage upgrades for Radiance, as it had the lowest damage bonus out of any weapon and adding an extra bonus to Meteor upgrades that gives bonus damage to mini bosses as the damage felt quite underwhelming against them.

Meteor
Added +150% damage bonus to mini bosses to increased projectile upgrades

Radiance
+25% --> +30% bonus damage from upgrades


Reducing the crush armor for almost every enemy as it was significantly reducing the damage of the Tremor Hammer and Meteor, the only enemies unaffected are Guardians, Titans and Scarabs. There's too many changes to list individually, so here are some highlights.

Anubite
80% --> 65% crush armor

Catapult
90% --> 50% crush armor

Pharaoh
99% --> 70% crush armor

Slinger
99% --> 50% crush armor

Wadjet
80% --> 60% crush armor


Reducing the damage and projectile speed of Wadjets as they were quite oppressive in the early game leading to some frustrating deaths. Also reducing the damage of Camelry and Sphinx a bit too as they have a similar issue, but not quite as severe.

Camelry
8 --> 7 hack damage

Camelry Champion
10 --> 9 hack damage

Wadjet
23 --> 22 projectile speed
12 --> 10 pierce damage

Malignant Wadjet
30 --> 26 projectile speed
12 --> 10 pierce damage

Sphinx
8 --> 7 hack damage
5 --> 4 crush damage


Slightly reducing the speed of several enemies to help reduce the overall damage players take, as these enemies will be easier to avoid.

Anubite
5.2 --> 5.0 speed

Avenger
5.8 --> 5.3 speed

Camelry
6.1 --> 5.8 speed

Champion Camelry
6.1 --> 6.0 speed

Minion
5.6 --> 5.0 speed

Priest
3.6 --> 3.4 speed

Serpent Mini Boss
4.2 --> 4.0 speed

Serpent
6.0 --> 5.5 speed

Sphinx
5.2 --> 5.0 speed


Reducing the spawn rate of the fast moving exploding Wadjets that spawn every 5 waves as they were spawning way too frequently for how much damage they dealt.

Exploding Wadjet
8 --> 12 second spawn time


Increasing the base damage of Mjolnir to compensate for its slow attack rate, felt quite weak in comparison to other weapons.

Mjolnir
150 --> 190 hack damage
+0% --> +30% damage against myth units


Reducing the time it takes for power ups, coins and hearts to respawn, rewarding the players that move around the map more than the ones that are idle.

Pickups
25 --> 20 seconds respawn time

Version 1_3_1 29/08/2024


GAMEPLAY

Increasing the hitpoints of Titans as they were dying a bit too quickly.

Titan
105000 --> 125000 hitpoints


Increasing the damage and range of the level 11 Pestilence upgrade as it felt quite weak, now also recieves a range increase from the Gauntlets of Punch Anything Relic. The poison effect now lasts forever instead of 1 minute, only really applicable for boss enemies.

Pestilence Level 11
30 --> 35 radius
32 --> 45 pierce damage
Now recieves a range increase from Gauntles of Punch Anything
Damage overtime effect lasts forever


Increasing the charge time of the Tremor Hammer as it was feeling far too effective at keeping melee enemies at bay, buffing its damage to compensate, so that when it does activate, its more impactful. In addition, the effect duration upgrade will now properly apply a percentage duration increase based on the current duration of the hammer's effect, instead of a flat increase of 0.1 second with each tier of the upgrade.

Tremor Hammer
6.5 --> 9.0 second charge time
50 --> 60 hack damage
50 --> 60 crush damage
Effect duration upgrade now increases duration properly


AUDIO

Added a chance for Greek and Egyptian culture music to play during hero selection.


Tweaked timing on fight music loops to be more seamless.


Removed ambient sounds for trees as they were inaudible for the majority of the time and just taking up file size.


OPTIMISATIONS

Reduced the resolution and removed the alpha channel of all hero select elements without reducing quality, slightly reducing memory useage and mod file size.

FIX

- Fixed Titan fight music not playing on waves after wave 30

After completing wave 30, enemies will spawn significantly more frequently, increasing the density of enemy encounters.

Enyo's Long Bow will now always target the closest enemy rather than target the closest enemy at the time and then only changing target when that enemy dies.


Dust Devils now have reduced line of sight and will spawn more incrementily, this is to reduce situations of Dust Devils merging into each other, allowing them to attack in more varied locations. The slowing effect has also been removed as it was too powerful for the new bosses.

Dust Devils
30 --> 20 line of sight
Added a 500 millisecond delay between each Dust Devil spawning
Removed slowing effect on the target they're following


Increasing the amount of Sun Sprites that spawn for the final level of Radiance as that upgrade felt quite weak without the Ankh of Ra upgrade.

Radiance Level 11
3 --> 5 Sun Sprite spawn amount


Changed Hippolyta's Enyo's Bow damage scaling to be Base Percentage rather than Percentage, this means the bonus damage will be lower overall, but during testing of the new enemies, this bonus was killing Uber Guardians in less than a second and the Titan in under 40 seconds.

Hippolyta Enyo's Bow Damage Bonus
+15% of current Damage --> +15% of base damage


Increasing the damaging of the Hieracosphinx, as their DPS was less than the regular Sphinx, which didn't make much sense.

Hieracosphinx
10 --> 16 whirlwind hack attack damage


Slightly increasing the range of a few enemies as they were having alot of trouble attacking the survivor.

Guardian
0.75 --> 0.90 attack range

Minion
0.77 --> 0.90 attack range

Serpent
0.50 --> 0.65 attack range


Serpent bosses are now recieving a hitpoint and speed increase everytime one is killed, keeping them somewhat challenging the further a player progresses.

Silver coins now give 25 gold instead of 20


BALANCE

Harmonias Necklace Relic
0.1 --> 0.2 hitpoint recovery per second


Enyo's Bow felt a little weak compared to other ranged weapons, so giving it a damage boost.

Enyo's Bow
80 --> 110 pierce damage
+0% --> +20% damage bonus against myth units


Increasing the damage of the Fiery Caduceus, this weapon is intended to have high damage to make up for its slow rate of fire, so increasing the damage a bit.

Fiery Caduceus
50 --> 70 hack damage


Increasing the damage of the level 11 lightning bolts for Mjolnir as well as it felt quite weak for a final upgrade.

Mjolnir Level 11 Lightning Bolts
550 --> 900 pierce damage


Playing as Reginleif the past few days, she feels quite weak compared to other heroes, so improving her bonus and slightly increasing base HP.
