Patch 0.9.0.0 - Darkness and Light: Expanded!

Oh boy! Content wise, this is probably the biggest patch so far!

It adds the following:

• Ancient light statues which grant light blessings and power.
• Dark and light researchtables, which you can discover in the deepest layer. You will only be able to claim one aligned to your faction.
• 22 research options related to having either a dark or light faction. To mention a few: the ability to improve risen, even make them fully functional with feelings and all, sun projectiles which cause magic area damage to undead.
• Two new metals: Nightsteel and Sunsteel.
• Several new spells, including two new summons.
• Units now have convictions, ranging from dark fanatic to light fanatic.
• Unit specific colouring.
• Mental stats bar. (This is has been a part of the game earlier, but rather unclear and only visible when checking ailments)
• Two new veteran backgrounds: Darkmage adept and Lightmage adept.
• One new achievement related to reaching 10 light power.

The patch changes the following:

• Direct lightning strikes will damage beings.
• Undeads movement and target-finding has been improved.
• The camera will be able to pan further down the screen, making it easier to view stuff happening at the lowest layers. (Good idea, feedback-people! <3)
• Interactions with lone visitors has a significant bonus to going well.
• The game has been balanced to give the player more alone visitors when the faction is smaller.
• Attackers with shields will rush to the front, as well as general improvement of attacker formations.
• The perks major- and minor conviction and carefree has been slightly nerfed.
• Animals selected now display their health has a number and you can also see their armor stats.
• When becoming risen humans will not automatically force 35% decay, so now you can have fresh corpses. Yummy!
• A bigger and more visible plus sign to add scrap and dye orders.
• A units defence can you always be seen at the top right corner of the units details, instead of having to move to the apparel page each time.
• Dark siphon is now teachable. (Light beacon as well)
• Metal helmets have been balanced, for the better. Previously there was no real advantage to having simple metal helmets rather than leather ones.
• When viewing base defence in crafting menus, metal gear will be calculated from iron instead of steel, giving much cleaner numbers.
• Weapon proficiency now only gives bonuses to the reached rank. So a perk ranked 2.5 will give the same bonus as one ranked 2.0.
• Hares are now able to attack and have been given an attack animation.
• New sound- particle- and light effects to smite.

The patch fixes the following:

• Several crashes has been fixed.
• A few issues related to storages not having the correct amount.
• An issue related to equipping item direct from storages.
• Workstations sound effects missing.
• An issue related to mirroring troughs.
• Pheasant leather was missing from tanning stations and leather benches.
• Particle effects did not always disappear when dismantling stuff.
• Source menus no longer overlap buttons below.
• Herbalbench having the wrong required-skill-checks.
• Average armour calculations where off and have been adjusted now.
• When throwing poison flasks, the thrower will check a wider area for friendly fire.
• When targeting a fire on another layer (inside vs outside) units would not move.

There is more to this patch, but these are the main things and a few stuff has been left as surprises! And I probably forgot to mention some things as well! =)

As always: I except there will be some hot-fixing needed so I stand very ready!

A billion thanks for all the support and feedback! I could not have done this without you! <3 Best wishes and all the love! <3 //Mattias
