Frozenheim Hotfix 0.1.2

[h2]Northernfolk![/h2]

Thank you all for being with us, and Frozenheim! Not all who wander are lost, but when troops randomly wander off and DO get lost it pisses off every RTS player. As one smart man playing Frozenheim once said: "I've lost more troops to the terrain, than to the enemy!". Admittedly, the troops in our game are very young and not very well trained - yet! But this week in the Viking School they we're taking some walking 101 classes, and we taught them a thing or two about pathfinding.



The new patch, among other things, updates the pathfinding mechanics. It's not perfect yet, but controling the units should be considerably less troublesome. We've also addressed some other issues based on continued playtests and - for the most part - the feedback coming from you. Here's the changelog for the Hotfix 0.1.2.
