AI is more likely to go for the Spell of Mastery if they are dominating

Adjustments to the city calculation for dtermining whether a city is well defended or not

Fixed a bug that would cause the AI to try (and fail) to cast the same enchantment over and over again resulting in it not casting other strategic spells

AI can summon Arcane Monoliths

Fixed bug that would cause lots of strategic spells not to be cast due to it thinking their value was 0

Fixed a bug that caused the AI to cast expensive tactical spells even when it wasn't supposed to

Question of curiosity:

Will the DLC patches receive 1.7 update changes as well?

- For example, items may require rebalancing to keep in line with the new class restriction mechanics.

 

In addition: I am still still finding metal and crystal mining to be too high. I have 300+ of each in my current game.

What I've done to address this is the following:

- For metal, all the mine upgrades each cost 5 metal in addition to there other costs. It makes logical sense that better production techniques require better machines and tools in order to extract the precious commodity. Perhaps some of the larger war-oriented buildings that can be built in fortresses should have metal costs added?

- For crystal, various city buildings that provide magical properties should require crystal in there construction to varying degrees, in similar form to the Statue Guardian. Ereog's Tower, for example, should cost 50 crystal in addition to it's other costs. (It should be limited to construction in Conclaves only, but that's another arguement). Buildings that provide mana should also have some crystal fee associated?

It wasn't free. It's paid for by the DLC that I bought, despite some of it being a little overpriced.

Let's not get tooooooo upset about a beta patch having bugs here, fellas.

If Derek hasn't already posted about it, we've pushed 1.7 by a week. Should be ready to go for a 7/24 release.

Do you know if we'll get a second round of beta testing with the new changes?

Reply #81 from Elemental Forums Top

Beta patch up on Steam. Changes:

Increased combat rating to XP multiplier from 0.06 to 0.45
Reduced Harbor production cost
Town Hall unrest bonus reduced from -20% to -10%
Master Archer chance to crit increased from 0 to 0.5
Misc. conversation fixes

And some bugfixes. Thanks for all the feedback, everyone (seriously, it's hugely helpful) and let us know how the patch treats you!

I'm not upset about the beta patch having bugs. 

 

I'm just frustrated that some of the most annoying bugs from 1.0 are still around. I'm sorry if I came across as rude or overly upset.

The AI can upgrade outposts? Awesome! Seriously, I'm surprised more people haven't commented on that, it felt like one of the biggest human exploits, where I could turn my settlements into powerhouses of... whatever, and the AI wouldn't even try. I'm looking forward to better AI in general as well; all the work to make strategic and tactical spells more effective will be gratefully received. When I've finished my current Rome Total War 2 game as Carthage it will be time to revisit Legendary Heroes. Keep up the good work!

So does anyone think that there's too much experience now? 

 

My character is level 5 at turn 40.

Haven't started a new game yet. In my current one I ran into an AI sovereign that was at level 22 while I was still at level 7! Not sure how he got there that fast but it was impressive to say the least.

This is not fixed.

Also, AI factions with Expansionist trait are producing hoards of Pioneers.  There's a screenshot floating around the forums...I'll try to find it or link my own at some point.

How do you tell which Beta version you're on again?

Reply #93 from Elemental Forums Top

Lord Reliant - If we're in beta you can right click your game in your Steam library, select properties, then the Betas tab and from the drop down select/view the current beta.

Awesome. I don't have Steam in front of me, but is there a build or version number we should reference to know it really is on the latest version?

 

Reply #95 from Elemental Forums Top

It will download automatically(by default), so you may see that Steam downloaded new files for LH.

You can check here for the update history:

I don't believe there is a location for build number besides opening the game and checking the bottom of the screen.

This was as of the latest beta release(7/17).  If that issue was fixed prior to the full relase, then that would be a pleasant surprise! :beer:

I just got the email that said this has been release. The thread info can probably be changed up above now.
