Patch Notes — Version 0.8.059–0.8.061 (Beta)

Major Changes

  • Battlefield Visibility: All squads inside an active Battlefield are now always visible.

  • Battlefield Proximity: After a battle starts, the area around the Battlefield where units are counted as participating gradually shrinks. (This is not the Battlefield zone itself)

Minor Changes

General:

  • Hunter's traps are now checked every 90 days, and have a chance to yield based on the strength of the Teeming Affinity.

  • Armament Delivery adjusted to require 15 total population (5 housed families) and a storehouse to trigger delivery.

  • Battlefield placement will attempt to avoid overlapping Settlements.

  • Fishing Hut’s default Reserve is now relative to Rich or Normal deposit.

AI:

  • Fixed being able to raise squads with less than five soldiers.

Balance

General:

  • Starting amount of a Shoal of Fish deposit is now 80% (was 66%) ensuring its above the default Reserve of the Fishing Hut on game start.

  • Wax is now displayed under Crafting Materials on the resource bar.
