Campaigns
  • A Tale of Two Brothers

    • S02 "A Dream": remove "fearless" trait, but spawn more higher-level woses instead.
  • Eastern Invasion
    • S02 "Escape Tunnel": Now uses the core Dwarvish Miner unit, instead of a modified 8 gold version.
    • S04b "Ill Humours": AI Dunefolk are no longer immune to the swamp's poison (although their AI shouldn't let them move into poison range regardless).

    • S05 "Northern Outpost": Randomness no longer influences the minimum/maximum number of bandits who spawn.
    • S06b "Soradoc": Removed a mechanic that wasn't explained in the objectives - Yannic will no longer be rescued automatically after you've defeated three enemy leaders.
    • S07a "Capturing the Ogres": Gweddry can no longer gain gold, in addition to his preexisting 0 upkeep.
    • S07a "Capturing the Ogres": Ogres will now become more aggressive after 10 turns, preventing an infinite turn gold/XP exploit.

    • S07b "Ogre Crossing": Objectives now explain that the ogres will join you once you reach the north shore.
    • S09 "Castle in the Ice": slightly reduce number of wolves and drakes.
    • S10 "Dark Sanctuary": Orc spawn now scale even further after many turns have elapsed (especially on Skirmish/Easy difficulty), making infinite survival impossible.
    • S11 "Captured": Reinforcement orcs now use income, not a one-time gold boost.
    • S11 "Captured": The Skirmisher ability no longer lets you to bypass the orcish guards.
    • S11 "Captured": Dacyn can no longer be healed without alerting the orcs.
    • S13 "Spoils of War": Changed dialogue to clarify what's going on before the scenario start.
    • S13 "Spoils of War": Owaec can no longer recall units (he's separated from the army), even if you manage to claim a keep.
  • The Hammer of Thursagan
    • Shortened turn limits on several long scenarios.
    • Decreased player gold from 100 to 80 on most scenarios.
    • S08 "The Siege of Kal Kartha": increased enemy gold.
    • S10 "The Underlevels": Karrag can now be optionally fought before you kill all other leaders, and the scenario has been rebalanced accordingly.
  • Heir to the Throne
    • Fixed a serious issue where the "Replacement Weapons" tweak would trigger on all sides' recruits, not just Konrad's.
    • If Konrad reaches Elensefar while Delfador is still with him, the player is no longer forced to give up Delfador in return for his raven.
    • If Konrad completes his first battle without gaining any recruits, Delfador now gifts Konrad his raven.
    • Moremirmu: significantly increased hitpoints, but decreased speed and damage.
    • Jeniver: increased gold generation from 4 to 5, increased blowgun damage from 4 to 5.
    • Clarify and expand a number of dialogue hints relating to special events and interactions.
    • S01 "The Elves Besieged": added a turn limit and rebalanced enemies.
    • S02 "Flight of the Elves": made enemy gold more predictable. Fixed Konrad winning after killing only 2 enemy leaders, instead of all of them.
    • S03 "Blackwater Port": Haldiel and Simyr are now loyal companions, but killing all enemy leaders is much harder.
    • S06 "The Isle of Alduin": Elrian is now a loyal companion, but the scenario requires you to choose between gaining Elrian or learning to recruit Mages.
    • S07 "Muff Malal's Peninsula": Moremirmu is now in a safer position, and much less likely to get bad RNG and die early.
    • S15a "Valley of Death I": added a new item reward, to 1) make this scenario a more viable pick and 2) allow for item-heavy playthroughs.
    • S22 "Glamdrol": allying with the Stoneskins now costs less gold, but Konrad will lose if he doesn't pillage enough gold to meet his pledge.
    • S30 "The Sceptre of Fire": made Li'sar more difficult to assassinate with Fire Wraiths. This strategy should still be possible, but it should now require more significant investment.
    • S30 "The Sceptre of Fire": Delfador can now continue recruiting even while searching for the Sceptre.
