Patch Notes for 19/12/23

Wartales v1.0.31873

Pirates of Belerion

Fixes

• We have corrected many of the issues related to the boat's boarding (no interaction with boat after a reload, can’t board from a beach…). We also added a rowboat on a beach to facilitate interactions with the boat.

• We've added a mark in the menu indicating that you have activated the DLC.

• Upon launching a game after buying the DLC, you immediately receive a notification indicating the region’s direction.

• Eokeld no longer stops playing after a landing.

• The skills “Trample” and “Raise” can now be used without a weapon.

• Fixed an interaction with the skills “Barrage” and “Landing” where Barrage would be triggered while the unit was hanging.

• Fixed an issue with areas triggered by the pushback of the skill “Squall”.

• You can now loot grapnels on pirates and Belerian guards.

• You can now find a new recipe in the ghost ship’s locked chest.

• You can now find a new recipe in Per Bast’s tavern.

• The rocks in Belerion’s ocean now remain visible even if “World Details” are toggled off in graphics options.

• Mystery path bonus now scales with the new sepulchre.

• Fixed an issue which allowed to build a trade route between Tiltren and Belerion (the routes you already built have been refunded).

• Fixed an issue which caused the same group of rats to attack you twice on Ioc’h island.

• The position of Kjerti now appears on the map when it becomes possible to confront him.

• Fixed a few translation errors.

• Fixed a few wrong icons.

• “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” can now be unlocked and fish caught in shoals are now taken into account.

• “Hopping mad”, “Explorers of the seven seas” and “The Miraculous Catch of Fish” can now be unlocked (backward compatibility applies)

Balancing

• Reputation gains were significantly reduced to prevent Lords of the Seas’ aggressions from happening too frequently.

• The reputation gain boost given by Akhedian steel figureheads was reduced. On the other hand, they now apply the same damage protection as the Akehdian steel ram.

Duels

• Tutorials have been changed to be clearer on how the duel plays.

• The first Sea lord encountered displays his actions to demonstrate that the captain’s words are linked to his actions.

• The duel’s interface has also been modified to make the different actions’ effects clearer.

• The player now has 1 more hit point.

• The Sea lords now have 1 less hit point.

• Being defeated in a duel no longer results in a “Dying” status. The defeated unit only takes a few damages before being pushed back and disengaged.

• Where it applies, the time limit was significantly expanded.

• After losing a duel, the Sea lord’s hit points are not restored.

• Triggering a duel against a disarmed unit no longer causes crashes.

• It is now possible to trigger a duel by attacking a captain with Stubbornness even though they are already engaged in combat.

• Fixed an issue in which completing a duel in co-op mode would cause a crash.

Base Game

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the use of the skill “Barrage” in Forsaken Villages.

• Title from Arena of Legends is now unlocked when all fights are done in hard mode instead of only 1.

• Objectives in the Arena of Legends no longer fail when enemies are healed and the round changes.

• In the Arena of Legends, Hiltrerd is still considered a champion after her recovery.

• Fixed an issue in which Arena objectives could only fail at the end of the round.

• Fixed an issue with the item “Salt Scoop”.

• Fixed a crash happening when a camp tool had to produce a resource with no assigned companion.

• In battle, it is no longer possible to inspect environmental elements such as rocks or lightning.

• The skill “Arterial Precision” no longer applies its effects more than once per use.

• Militia will no longer chase you while you’re inside a town.

• The skill “Animal Cooperation” no longer triggers an opportunity attack from the unit the first time it’s used in battle.

• Recipes that could previously only be bought from Ludern’s Large Tracker Camp can now be found in other places too, so that they don’t become unavailable when the trackers leave.

• Fixed an issue that made old saves impossible to load.

• Fixed an issue where The Alazarian Ambassador wouldn’t act during his turn.

Balancing

• The zone in which the skill “Ovation” applies has been expanded from 8 to 12 meters.
