Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord GOLD News

[p]Hi all, after a long while, we’ve finally managed to squash a few bugs and implement several optimizations. Nothing critical, but the UI should now feel noticeably more responsive, especially on Windows and during AI turns. Almost everything has been moved to a few simple arrays, reducing overhead when dynamically creating collections.[/p][p]We’ve also introduced a global battle state system, where the AI evaluates whether it should act more aggressively or defensively. This is a new subsystem, so your mileage may vary - in some battles, the impact is quite noticeable, while in others, it might make little to no difference.[/p][p]We are starting to patch all games, please let me know if you have any suggestions or notice anything unusual![/p][p]Take care, Les[/p]

Hi all, whether you’ve helped us fix bugs, shared feedback, or simply enjoyed the Age of Fear series, you’ve made this year truly legendary.

This Christmas, we hope your days are filled with joy, laughter, and a little extra XP in whatever adventure you’re pursuing. May your loot be epic, your companions loyal, and your journeys unforgettable.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Game Year!

Take care,
Les & AOF Team

Hi all, building on the last patch featuring AI heroes, we've added even more unique skills to their arsenal. These include rare and powerful abilities like Meteor, Calling Reinforcements, Dance Macabre, and even Dragon Transformation!

Originally, we intended for these unique skills to remain exclusive to players, so we hadn’t created AI scripts for them. However, after some catching up, we’re now ready to unleash everything needed to make the AI an even bigger nuisance.

Take care and enjoy your winter break,
Les

Hi all, with this patch, we are introducing procedurally generated AI heroes. We've been working on this feature for some time, and while some mechanics were released earlier, the feature is now fully complete in this version.

The AI heroes have unique skills (some of which are quite OP!), and the AI is very protective of them. I hope we've struck the right balance, and TPKs won't happen too often.

Take care,
Les

Hi all, with the recent update, we've introduced an AI-only Pirates faction that will randomly attack your ships. The Pirates are fast units with ranged attacks and are occasionally armed with cannons, making them a challenge even for advanced armies. To balance this, we've also added Merchants who will appear on the seas with precious items. I'm also working on a Sea Storm mechanic, but that feature isn't ready yet.

Take care,
Les
