[p]The December update is finally here! As you already know, it adds a new easy difficulty setting for the Campaign and the playable Undead in Map Editor.
[p]But that’s not all — with it we’ve improved campaign map navigation! Now in the right side of your screen you will see a list of available missions (including completed ones you can replay) and will be able to switch sides on a whim. Another addition is for the Undead fans: a new Endless Mode map of high difficulty for the Undead. A truly metal adventure!
[p]As usual, the full list of changes is hidden under the cut, but you can also get the gist of it by watching the video: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
[p]On the side note, Steam Winter Sale has launched! As so, Diplomacy is Not an Option, as well as the additional content, is 55% off till January 5!

• The Undead faction as playable is now in Map Editor. Map Editor User Guide was updated accordingly;
  
• Added a new Endless Mode map for the playable Undead, named “...and judgement for all!”. Extra hard;
  
• Reworked campaign map navigation. Now it is possible to switch between different story branches right on the campaign map, without reloading previous saves.

Balance

• Changed the number of Death Metal fields in all campaign missions of the Undead branch in all difficulties (except for Ultra-Hardcore). In general, easier difficulties now have more fields while harder ones - less;
  

Bug Fixes

• A bug that sometimes allowed players to place a Nightmare General on a tower;
  
• A bug that let players construct more buildings than Defilement limit should allow while on pause;
  
• A bug that caused a custom map created with messages and no mission objectives end with a win screen right after the messages appearing;
  
• A bug that stopped a custom map from launching if it contained an enemy building with spawning turned on, but the list of enemy spawn was empty;
  
• A bug that made quicksaving while in Photo Mode break UI;
  
• A rare bug that would break UI after switching between attacking wave setups (Quick / Advanced) in Sandbox;

[p]Pupultas!
[p]The December update is coming along nicely! And as we’ve mentioned earlier, it will add a new easy difficulty setting. Another frequently requested feature that will arrive is the ability to make maps in Map Editor with the playable Undead! It will have all the features available to the Lord’s Forces — landscape generation, troop spawning, object property modification. Of course, specifics of the Undead change some aspects of the Map Editor. As such, the Map Editor User Guide will be updated accordingly!
[p]And as usual, another short video about the upcoming addition!
