Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord GOLD News

Hi all! I hope you enjoy ongoing Lunar Sales and find many interesting games. Meanwhile, we are working hard on adding a few specific mechanics related to Stealth.

As a side-product of experimenting with the Ambush feature (in which invisible units can surprise enemy groups) we created yet another stealth-specific skill - Illusions. A spellcaster can create multiple copies of itself and those copies can move and attack (but won't cause any damage) as normal units. Now the guess-game begins...



On another note - we soon plan to increase prices of some of our games. The main reason being record-breaking inflation and, as such, rising costs of development and assets. I sincerely don't know how much we will push our prices up, but we will try to keep it to a minimum.

Take care,
Les & AOF Team

Hello all,

I would like to wish you all the best in the coming year 2022!

As for our plans - we are working on the next part in the series. As you saw in previous announcements, we have already added a number of specialized skills and mechanics.

We will continue that in 2022 and hopefully we will have something playable before the end of the year.

Take care,
Les & AOF Team.

Hi all, over the last few weeks we were working mostly on the new game in our series, but we also added a few new spells, patched bugs and tuned the game a bit:

• Hellish Assault for Succubus and Demon Mistress! This is a bit experimental feature in which we allow demonic battlemages to quickly traverse the battlefield with a huge blast. Let's see how it plays out!
  
  
• Sea People were tuned a bit, i.e. Giant Eels becoming more resistant to damage and Sea Harpooners having overhaul as poison-based artillery.
  
  
• As usual a few bugs were spotted by players and ironed out, e.g. Wargs Howl was occuring in early campaigns, units movement as sometimes stuck near own invisible units, etc.
  

Also, with the X-Mas coming, I would like to wish you all the best!
Hopefully you will visit us for the New Year wishes too.

Take care,
Les & AOF Team

Hi all, we finally found the courage to sort out Team Size. It was a common complaint that the size of the army in battles is not consistent and not communicated clearly. You were 100% right - it was just a lot of changes and it took us a while.

• New heroes are available in Open World campaigns. We also introduced an experimental single-hero build (without an army).
  
  
• Team Size is consistent through campaign and Open World battles. Team Size is displayed in every shop. Base Team Size can be also set from Experimental options.
  
  
• Auto-balancing units' attributes for AI - till now, units were manually balanced so their upgrades match game progress. However, with 200+ active units it became troublesome and, therefore, we implemented an automated way to price those attributes.
  
  
• Invisible units would block the movement if your ally passed through them. This is another change in mechanics to accommodate incoming Ratmen faction which will be based on stealth.
  
  
• Repair skill can also target dead Constructs. This is to better integrate Dwarves and their Constructs.
  
  
• New end level in Undead campaign more aligned to story in which Undead were originally controlled by Demons before Krill 'liberated' them.
  

Take care,

HI all, I thought I would share an interesting feature we came up with (and finished implementing this week) - burrowing. This mechanic is part of a wider rehaul of invisibility and stealth we are currently working for. It allows for units to hide on the path of enemies, wait till they pass and backstab them from behind. Only for Ratmen ^^



Take care,
