• Fixed some content delivery issues causing some asset to be packed twice and using up additional memory.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug in internal damage calculation that was doubling damage modifiers (e.g. slaves would deal -36% instead of -20% damage, blinded deducted more than -25% damage...); display in interface/tooltips was correct and hasn't changed.

• Adapted battle AI when using aoe skills: should not spam battlecry when everybody has it already anymore etc. & AI shouldn't buff/debuff destructibles anymore

• Incorporated AllyPromotionBonus into BuddyBonus, so it has proper bookkeeping and is visible to player. -> e.g. Strength of the Pack, Dominator etc. are all visible in UI now and update accordingly (they were working before, just not visibly)

• Fixed a bug where a hero wouldn't spawn when your tower was in the middle of an ocean/mountain

• Fixed a bug where income from equipped artefacts would multiply by saving/loading the game

• Added loot message when raiding a tomb/grave

• Added Achievement for completing Galtrak‘s Hero storyline

• Fixed a bug where unit resistance/weaknesses weren't displayed correctly when inspecing units in shops.

• Fixed a bug where there was no warning of an Attack of Opportunity if the unit itself was unable to do AoO's.

• Fixed an issue where some tower events would not give you any loot if there was no stack in your tower.

• Fixed an issue where flying with the tower without influence area could delete influence from other locations (e.g. melded mana nodes).

• Fixed an issue where additional income from effects on locations was not correctly added to your income per turn.

• Fixed an issue where you weren’t able to deal the maximum amount of damage displayed in battle.

• Fixed the issue where the battlemap for a set hex would change after reloading.
