fixedHi everyone, the "current" branch has been updated to Beta v7.10. Here's what's new: - assassin character added - rebalanced classes, skills and equipment - restructured the Help section - removed three-tiers online mode - campaign candidate units increased to 48 and high ranked unit made less common - fixed a bug on damage calculation including adjacent characters that can't attack the target - increased dead characters timeout - fixed a bug on HP/MP when comparing equipment As you can see, it's a big update, which explains why it has been a while since the last time. The highlight of this update is of course the Assassin! The Assassin is a melee unit with a high movement range and relatively low HP. It can acquire a skill that allows him to throw his knives and he can also use shurikens, although you cannot buy those in shops, you'll have to get them as loot or recruit units that come with them equipped. Work on the Sorceress character has started. I also made a massive update on the whole game balance, affecting classes, weapons, protections and skills. The idea behind it is to avoid that characters quickly become overpowered after gaining just a few levels. The Help section has been restructured and it will make it easier to add content. I removed the three types of competitive online gameplay, there is just Online for ranked matches and Online Dev for unranked matches where your characters can level up. Opt in the "current" branch to try this update. I'll extend this to the default branch as soon as I get some feedback and (hopefully few) bug reports. Have fun and share like mad! :) Ciao, Charlie ------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO ACCESS CURRENT BRANCH ------------------------------------------------------- If you open the Properties of the game from your Steam Library, you'll see a BETAS tab. In this tab there's a drop down list of branches you can opt into. Type the following password in the code box: htcurrentbuild and this will give you access to the "current" branch of the game. As you select it, the game will update and you'll be able to play v7.10. You can swap back to v7.9 but be aware this will delete your savegame.
