Paintshop Update patch notes

Dear players,

This week's update is a real feast for the eyes: new textures for the units, new artworks, a spectator mode and the glitter of gold coins passing from hand to hand!



All units of all factions have now two possible skins: Plain and Painted. You can view and choose which one to use in the Paintshop, available from the main menu.
Note that the Painted skins of some characters aren't final yet.

Do you enjoy the work of Jakub Rozalski? The main menu now displays a random background from a pool of 8 of his artworks, changing at every launch of the game.



You can now watch online games without playing to learn from your peers. Hit the "Spectate" button of any ongoing game in the lobby to watch the action. For extra convenience, this button is also available next to your friends' names in the Friends panel. Note that the Objectives and Combat Cards of all players remain hidden to the spectators to prevent any cheating.



As per the official rules, you can now give Coins to any other player in local and online games. In the lower right corner, click on the icon of a faction above the End Turn button to access the interface handling gifts of coins. This can only be done during your turn and outside of combat.




- Nordic Seaworthy: fixes for retreats to lakes. Note that workers are no longer allowed to retreat to a lake without a mech to transport them.
- Undo: the button can now correctly be used after selecting an action that cannot be paid for.
- Production: added a warning message when ending a turn after produing but missing the production of a hex with a mill.
- Tutorials: fixes and tweaks for several tutorial missions
- VFX: units moving or retreating after a fight will no longer leave their shadow hanging in the air mid-flight
- SFX: several new feedback sounds added for yet-silent buttons



- The first update of 2019 will bring improvements to the Hard AI, an optional drag & drop control for the Move action and further tweaks to the tutorials.
- As requested by the community, inviting offline players to Play & Go games has also been added to the roadmap for early 2019.


Enjoy the Paintshop update!
