Version 1.2.9 - New Heraldry, Boarding & Hero Fixes

Boarding Ongoing boarding combats are now auto-resolved when one side leaves/surrenders a combat. You are warned when you are likely to lose ships this way.

Also, Waspkiller Marines have -45% fire rate and the Martial Caste tech now increases Guard HP by 60%.

Heroes I fixed a bug where some heroes wouldn't be triggered to appear. So now a bunch of rare heroes should be more frequent, and two will finally turn up at all! So you (accidentally) get two new heroes with this update. Also, Dame Laura now retains her Reconstruction ability after upgrading.

New Heraldic Charges Added 11 new heraldic charges:

Axe: -30% Airship maintenance, no local defence budget

Bridge: +80% Resupply speed

Castle: -20% Building cost, double local defence budget

Effigy: Quadruple chance for enemy ships to catch fire

Grappling Hook: +60% Grenadier HP, grenadier tech

Hammer: +75% Steel armour HP

Heart: -15 Unrest in all towns and cities

Lighthouse: +40% Accuracy

Pillar: Double unrest reduction from high reputation

Scythe: No unrest from brutal takeovers

Winged Wheel: -30% Landship cost, double landship map speed

Steam Rich Presence Finally, the game now also shows your current activity to your friends on Steam. You can also turn that off in the settings if you need to for some reason.
