Release Notes version 1.17

Dear Humans and Elves,

Today's update brings new additions to the Battle System, as well as balancing changes to some units, based on player's feedback. We also made the Wholesaler's offers more dynamic and fixed a couple of bugs! Please find the full list of changes below.

• To continue the trend we started with version 1.15, we are giving you more, new, battle-related content:
  • Humans will now have access to the Mortar II - the technology for this can be found in Chapter V, and will remain optional until the next update; due to this, the technology to unlock the first level of the Mortar that was added in the last update has now become mandatory to unlock
  • Both Humans and Elves get access to the Training Grounds levels 5-8 with a new technology in Chapter V. This technology will remain optional until the next update; due to this, the technology to research the first levels of the Training Grounds that was added in the previous update has now become mandatory to unlock for Elves (it already was for Humans)
  • Elves will now have access to the Cerberus II, which can be unlocked in Chapter IV. This technology will remain optional until the next update.

• The icons for the unit types have been slightly altered to make them easier to distinguish 
• We have given the Army Selection Screen a major overhaul: you are now able to see easily which unit is strong against which other units, and more improvements are on the way for future updates
• Tooltips in the Unit Information Screens have been adjusted to be clearer
• It is now a lot easier to see if and where you have missing unlocked technologies in the Research Tree, and we added easier scrolling through this menu as well

• The Wholesaler's offers are now working differently: instead of always having the same offers, the Wholesaler now shows offers that change every day. When buying an offer, the costs increase, but are reset again when the timer reaches 0.
• Some changes have been made to battle units:
• The War Dog (NPC unit) was renamed to Hellhound
• Sorceresses' and Enchantresses' attack range has been decreased slightly
• The bonuses from abilities are no longer summed up, but rather multiplied - this resolves problems where the attributes can add up to 100% or more, making it impossible to finish battles, and makes for quicker battles in general
• Many units have received slight balancing adjustments, also based on community feedback

Full list:

• Mortar: stronger vs. Light Ranged
• Cerberus: stronger vs. Mage
• Drone Rider: stronger vs. Light Ranged and Mage
• Ranger: increased damage, stronger vs. Mage and Heavy Melee
• Crossbowman: stronger vs. Mage
• Archer: stronger vs. Mage
• Sorceress: lowered attack range (also see above), stronger vs. Heavy Melee and Heavy Ranged
• Blossom Mage: stronger vs. Heavy Melee
• (NPC) Cannoneer: stronger vs. Light Ranged
• (NPC) Hellhound: stronger vs. Light Ranged and Mage
• (NPC) Enchantress: lowered attack range (also see above)
• (NPC) Thornrose Mage: stronger vs. Heavy Melee

• Resolved a problem where random Rune Shard rewards did not work correctly for players who did not have any Ancient Wonder researched yet
• Retaliation in Battle was not always reset correctly after a round, which has now been fixed
• Fixed a problem where city graphics were not loaded correctly
• Centered an image of the Blossom Mage in the Research Tree
• Updated the text of one Orcs and Goblins quest to fit both races

Of course we would like to hear your thoughts about this update. Please take a minute to leave your opinion in the discussion thread! We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Your Elvenar Beta Team

Aaaaand... We just implemented a hotfix which fixed this issue (duration timer not correctly displayed in unit's tooltip).

We just implemented a hotfix which solves the following issues:

• Resolved an error when accessing an Ancient Wonder window
• The display of Wholesaler prices is now correctly centered and fixed in position
• The countdown timer of the Wholesaler that was stuck has been fixed
• Fixed a problem where the price of a City Expansion would show as 16000K if you had none available to place
• Adjusted a highlight position in the tutorial
• Fixed the display of the arrow that points at the chapter in the Research Tree

Dear Humans and Elves,

Today we updated Beta to the newest version of 1.17, which includes several changes and bugfixes.

Wholesaler
Due to your feedback, we have decided to not bring the current state of the Wholesaler to the Live worlds with our next update. So, we are reverting the changes on Beta for now. Please do realize that we will be changing the functionality of the Wholesaler at a later point in time - the current plan is sometime early next year. We will do this with the feedback we got from you in mind, though. We have drafted some mock-ups for what it will look like later on for you, so that you can already know what will be coming to you later. In the new design, you can expect the following:

• You will still be able to choose what resource you want to pay, like you could in the old Wholesaler - this seems to have been the biggest concern with the new Wholesaler so far. So, when the new Wholesaler will be implemented again, you will be able to choose if you want to pay for the resource with Coins, Supplies or your Boosted Good of the respective tier.
• The amount you can buy per purchase will still depend on your Main Hall's level.
• The price will still gradually increase per purchase, but will reset to the default values each day.

Here you can see what it will look like (remember: these are mock-ups for the new design):





We do really appreciate the feedback you have given us, so thank you for that! 

Bug fixes

• Adjusted the alignment of the collect time on Mana producing building

En el día de ayer nuestro servidor tubo la actualización 1.16 y el servidor beta la 1.17, que es es contenido de este post. 

Con esta tercera actualización beta podría decirse que la actualización del nuevo sistema de combate está ya completo, a tan solo que los jugadores del beta y testeen sus resultados para un afinamiento mejor, pero el grueso de la actualización ya está completada.
Nuestro servidor y los demás deberán de esperar aún unas semanas para recibirla, seguramente para el mes que viene. Mientras tanto ya se sabe el evento de halloween está a la vuelta de la esquina, así que mejor irse preparando;)

bye bye


El contenido de la parte superior corresponde al foro del servidor beta.

En el día de hoy se ha movido la página Orcos & Goblins, los primeros pasos ... Al mes de agosto junto a seis post más relacionados con este mundo. 

Esto seguirá sucediendo en diferentes post o artículos publicados, realizandose un agrupamiento de temática.

Además se irán añadiendo etiquetas a los post, tal como se ha iniciado ya con los elfos del bosque. 

Los post movidos mostraran su fecha original al final del mismo, por si ese dato fuese revelante en un futuro, por ejemplo en el caso de los eventos.

Pido disculpas por las molestias causadas, pero se realiza para poder realizar una mejor búsqueda y consulta de los temas.

Como siempre digo "Se admiten ideas y sugerencias" ;)  bye bye
