Patch V1.005

Hi All.

just to let you know that we have uploaded a patch for a couple of new features, changes and bug fixes:

• New Feature: Experience Allocation.
  
  Set by a new set of options on the Advanced Rules dialog.
  
  
  
  By setting these options you can decide how you want to allocate any experience that the units generate. You can even change it from turn to turn if you want to.
  
  The values for Experience Allocation (new option 1) are:
  
  Actions - This is the default and the way the game works at the moment. Only units that do anything gain experience (attacking, casting spells, sneaking, etc.)
  
  Actions and Pooled - When a unit gains experience, a percentage of the gain will be allocated to an Experience Pool for sharing across all party members. The percentage is set using the slider (new option 2) with the value selected going to the pool and the rest to the unit.
  
  Pooled - When a unit gains experience, all of it will be allocated to an Experience Pool for sharing across all party members.
  
  Experience in the pool is shared out at the end of every turn and any left over remains in the pool until the next turn. If using the pooling options, a new icon/value pair will appear in the Selection Bar at the top of the screen (see screenshot below). The value indicated is the amount of experience currently in the pool.
  
  
  
  Each time the pool is increased/decreased you can choose to have the value 'float' from the new icon (new option 3).
  
  Please note that as the sharing is done at end of turn, events that do not trigger a turn ('Resting' and 'Back to Base') will not allocate the experience which will carry over to the next battle turn (on any map). We will improve this in a future update.
  
  
• New Feature: Unit Card Stats.
  
  When displaying the unit cards (left side of the battlefield, Create Your Party scene, Party Management), you can choose to have the key stats shown as bars (the default) or numbers. The feature is actioned by a new dropdown on the Options > Interface dialog shown below:
  
  
  
  The image below shows the two ways that the unit card can be displayed.
  
  
  
  
  
• Changed: We have increased the font size of any text that 'floats' from UI elements (like the Selection Bar and the Loot Dialog) to make it more noticeable.
  
  
• Changed: Increased the availability of scrolls in the market at Velarin.
  
  
• Fixed: It was possible for enemy units to top-out experience in the same manner as player units. Player units are limited to maximum level 6 in this game (see the Create Your Party and Party Management screens). Enemy units are never limited in leveling up. [Internal bug]
  
  
• Fixed: Magical Splint Mail+1 to +5 were all named as +1. Stats were correct, the displayed name was wrong. [Internal bug]
  
  

Please let us know if you have any problems with this patch and we hope you enjoy the new features.

All the best.
