Axom: Conquest Patch 1.0.2.0

Patch 1.0.1.2

Balance

The purpose of most of these balance changes is not to reduce power from fire-rate as all upgrades have had a suitable increase in other areas. However stacking fire-rate was causing issues at the top end of Endless mode. Essentially you could have towers that could fire dozens of times per frame which was causing extreme instability.

• Tower Overcharge - Fire rate increase reduced from +200% to +100%. Cooldown reduced to 2 waves from 3.

• Overdrive - Fire rate reduced from +100% to +50%. Damage increased from +100% to +150%

• Capsule Doping - Fire rate per capsule reduced from +40% to +20%. It now also increases damage by +20% per capsule.

• Ammo-Stockpile - Fire rate reduced from +75% to +35%. It now also increases damage by +35%.

• Icicle Condenser - M6-Frost Fang Fire rate bonus removed. Replaced with +10% crit-chance and +40% crit-damage.

• Overloaded Flak Cartridge (New name) - Previously increased MG41-Autogun fire-rate by +20%. Now increases Crit-damage by +50%

Gameplay

• Rerolling the Trader now refreshes Capsules as well as upgrades.

Visual

• Enemy Burrower digging effect is now easier to spot.

• Removed the visual glitch effect in some UI elements, and removed the option in the settings to toggle it.

User Interface

• In the Research Tree all hidden upgrades are now visible and replaced with Question Mark symbols until you reveal them.

• Buttons in the settings menu are now easier to click on (Larger hitbox)

• Leaderboard width increased slightly.

Optimisation

• Quite a few things have been altered for the sake of optimisation.

• Particle systems now have a limit of how many can be visible at once.

• The green currency particle that goes towards the nexus has been removed. (In end game scenarios there would be thousands of particle systems at once)

• Frame rates on medium settings are about 20% better at idle now (This might be different on different setups)

• Vsync is now on by default (Can still be toggled in the menu)

Bug Fixes

• Vaccine Research upgrade tooltip fixed and flavour text added correctly.

• Fixed a few other tooltips which were incorrectly coloured.

• Fixed a few spelling and grammar mistakes in tooltips.

• Fixed an issue where Overclock Capsule would deal more than 75% of max HP to itself if the structure had an extra damage bonus.

• Deselecting a refinery before placing it will now correctly delete the path line towards it.

• You can no longer open the trader outside of trader waves using the hotkey instead of the button.

• Screen rendering size is now always 100%.

• Extreme and Apocalypse difficulty will now show as beaten correctly in the stats page if beaten.

Misc

• Updated recommended system requirements on the steam store slightly.

Known Issues

• Flame ring from Flaming Barrel upgrade is not appearing on every structure (Just a visual bug)
