Spells and fights

  • The Whirlwind pulls the whole arena into its spin.
  • Poseidon's Squall rises as a wave across the floor.
  • Wall of Fire bursts up under the enemies.
  • Killing Frost grows a crown of ice that shatters.
  • The Earth Shakes heaves the ground up in slabs.
  • Poseidon Strikes forms its wave and lightning from the card.
  • Basic attacks and enemy blows land harder. Atalanta shoots her arrows in pairs. Medea's fireball sits in her hand.
  • The Fire-Seers have new fire and sounds, and campfires have new flames and smoke.
The Whirlwind pulls the arena into its spin.
Poseidon's Squall.
Killing Frost.
Wall of Fire.

On the map

  • When you take a place, your flag drops in and the land ripples out from it in a wave.
  • Strongholds are rebuilt with a roofed gate, a palace front and a courtyard, on the map and in the fight.
  • Night falls with a warm sunset sweep before the night round begins.
  • A Barrow, Chasm, Lair or Nest of Echidna you have taken flies your flag, like a taken ruin.
  • The Satyr Horncaller's summon has golden cracks, shifting earth and a louder horn.
  • Hold the scroll wheel and drag up or down to tilt the map camera.
Taking a keep.
Nightfall.

The new stronghold

Rules and fixes

  • Hemlock Adepts no longer have Death Curse. They keep Poison.
  • Choices show what you are choosing: card faces, Companion portraits, Favours and the enemies themselves.
  • The Apple of Discord counts both strikes of an enemy that attacks twice.
  • Twofold asks which option you want for the free half before the card is played.
  • Camp Followers keep your Attack and Block bonuses when you discard for them. Shield Brother's bonus is used once when The Last Command uses him again.
  • Medea draws her extra card when a Wound appears while refilling her hand.
  • You can skip an empty opening Ranged phase as soon as the fight camera arrives.
  • Heroes repeat themselves less, and Aeneas no longer says "A home. For a while."
  • Bug reports: if the game crashes, it offers to send us a report the next time it starts. F10 sends one at any time.
  • Also in this patch: Hephaestus' Tongs, The Apple of Discord, The Palladium and a reworked Hecate's Amulet, from the last Relic update.
