Hotfix 5.0.4

UPDATE 04/06/24 @ 14:35 BST: We're aware that the fix to Anvil of Doom melee attacks seems to have slipped through during the hotfix deployment, and are investigating. Thanks for your reports and patience while we look into it, and sorry for any confusion caused!

Greetings!

We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.0.4.

Here's what we've got today:

• Confederating minor factions will no longer increase the cost of confederating Legendary Lords in the Great Book of Grudges

• Fixed an issue where the Nurgle Plagues button could sometimes become permanently disabled in multiplayer campaigns

• Fixed an issue preventing Anvil of Doom characters from performing melee attacks under certain circumstances

• Added some missing VFX and audio to Thorek's Anvil of Doom melee attacks, including a fresh new effect where his anvil runes glow brighter when making a strike!

• CosmeticMade Malakai's gun a tiny bit less eager/it now fires its bullets in sequence instead of firing every bullet immediately on the first shot

• Added audio to Malakai's third shot in his firing sequence

• Fixed an issue where several different Legendary Heroes (I've got my eye on you, Ghoritch!) could spawn at a random character that did not belong to the player

• Fixed health bar not filling correctly on unit information panel in campaign

• Fixed an issue where Hero character names and icon outline did not match the player's colour

• Fixed an issue in multiplayer campaigns where the Tomb Kings Mortuary Cult HUD button was locked if another player was Dwarfs

• Fixed an issue where Chaos Lords of Nurgle and Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle variants were missing their Nurgle Authority skills

• Fixed the bandits caravan event not triggering

• Fixed an issue where some generic combat skills in the Daemon Slayer's skill tree used the hero variants (three levels instead of two that lords usually require)

• Fixed crash when loading a saved character in the army setup

• Fixed an issue where horde factions could infinitely recruit capped units by creating and loading a save immediately after recruiting them

As always, thanks for your ongoing feedback and bug reports. We'll be back in the coming weeks with Patch 5.1. Until then, we'll see you on the battlefield!
