Sorcerer King Beta 2.1 Patch Notes

Highlights

• Reworked how remaining moves for units in an army are calculated (can now use remainders at the end of a turn, but they won’t trigger the “idle units” button)
• Sovereign & Champion tree bug fixes
• City Enchantments can now be cancelled
• Red tiles hidden
• WASD now works properly for map movement
• MAJOR BALANCE CHANGE: the span of an attack's possible roll is now 90-100% of the max possible value (used to be 50-100%). Should make for damage more in line with expectations

Detailed Fixes

• Guardian Sovereign tree: Fixed some messed up tree branching from Fertility and Revive Land 
• Guardian Sovereign tree: took building prereq off of Trebuchet
• Guardian Sovereign tree: swapped Fertility and Revive Land abilities (so the Guardian can start healing shadowlands earlier in the game)
• Peregan the Ranger now has particles for Lethal Shot, Freezing Shot, Hellfire Shot, Power Shot, Lightning Shot, and Explosive Arrow
• Animations assigned to corresponding Peregan the Ranger abilities
• Peregan the Ranger abilities Freezing Shot and Explosive Arrow now have enchantment particles
• Ranger Hero tree: Fixed Quickfire to be required to get to Ranged Commander II
• Gave 'Crushing Blow' ability a 2 turn cooldown
• Dwarf Crushing Blow now plays animation
• Fixed several text issues with the Tyrant tree
• Re-fixed issue where Tyrant's 'Drain Shard' spell didn't talk about the doomsday counter being increased
• Tyrant’s 'Drain Shard' can now only be cast on a shard in your territory
• Warlord abilities Overwhelming Fear, Nightmare, Soul Rend, Deadly Favor, and Death Lash now play the appropriate animation
• Proper enchantments applied to Deadly Favor and Death Lash
• Urxen Poison Shot now has proper particles, including new poison hit particle
• Arcane Spread no longer uses the unit’s damage (does 10 arcane + 1 per unit level)
• Added "red tiles" mode (activated by running with command-line argument "redtiles")
• Fixed several sovereign & hero tree display issues
• Fixed strange issue with ability tooltips where they were using modifiers to create descriptions even if a description had been provided (resulting in weird line breaks, general ugliness).
• Improved existing faction medallions
• Added placeholder faction medallion for Pariden
• Expanded description area above threat level meter
• Sovereign skill tree window now displays sovereign’s name
• Addressed issue where "turns until autosave" could be set to 0.
• Fixed input lag when holding down WASD or an arrow key to move the map around. Also movement speed is now controlled via a game option "Manual Camera Pan Speed" (which is also what edge scroll now uses)
• Fixed bug where drag-map code was not keeping the camera in bounds if you were in spell-casting mode
• Camera is now kept in bounds when using edge-scrolling, WASD, or arrow keys to move the camera
• Donkey Headbutt attack now plays
• Made some goodie hut fixes
• City HUDs now tinted to city owner's ZOC color, they have also been tweaked graphically
• Minor faction cities should now use proper cloth map images and portrait images
• Updated Imperial Remnant faction image
• Implemented a way to cancel enchantments on both the City List and City Details windows (just click the 'x' near enchantment entry, and answer yes on the resulting dialog)
