Wartile

We have just uploaded a minor patch 1.1.6.0For anyone playing with gamepads, we have made some major improvements regarding communication and controller setup. Please be aware that we are still working on the controller setup and are open for any feedback you might have. We have added a Gamepad feedback post in the forum.Furthermore, we have made some minor adjustments to the achievements.Two of our achievements, A Taste for Gold - Collect 1.000 gold and A Collection for Kings - Loot 1.000 items as we realize it was set to a way too high a threshold.To fix this the three collect gold achievements will be changed from 1.000/10.000/100.000 to 100/1.000/10.000 and loot achievements from 10/100/1.000 to 1/10/100.If some of you hard working Vikings have been struggling to achieve the 1000 items or 100.000 gold threshold and were getting close, please write us in the comments below and we will find a way to honor your efforts.As a final note we just want to let you know that we are still making improvements and new content to Wartile and hope that you enjoy Wartile as much as we enjoy making it.

Hotfix Patch 1.1.3Added Casual difficulty modeFinding the exact level of difficulty that fits the most people is very hard. And we could tweak Wartile up, down and sideways forever and still some would find it too easy or difficult.To embrace everyone we have created a casual difficulty mode in addition to the normal mode, that players can toggle between at any time from the options menu. With casual mode, all your Vikings get a significant boost to their stats, let\'s call it the blessings of Odin :). The player still needs to apply a certain amount of tactical attention to the combat.We hope that some of our players will embrace this option as an invitation to get back into the fight.Other issues:Lost Norse Battle board, after reloading from waypoints to many Lost Norse enemies would spawn from the boats.Slightly increased the spawn rate of Lost Norse from boats at the Lost Norse board.Reduced the damage from poison bombs on Lost Norse Tier One, while also increasing their time on the map.At the Niflheim Board we made it possible to exit the cave to complete the quest, while your party is in combat. However, all figurines in the party still need to be next to the cave exit.At the Niflheim Board, we the moved relic to avoid friendly units spawning behind enemy spawn tile.When taking water from Mimir’s well, a point of interest effect now spawn at the cave exit.After reloading waypoints on The Lost Norse Battle board, too many units would spawnReduced the damage of the Bombers poison on The Lost Norse Battle BoardUpdated some figurine names in the Chinese translation.

Patch Notes 1.1CampaignNew storyWe are excited to introduce a whole new story for Wartile now narrated by George Blagden who did an awesome job of bringing the new story alive.Game Play ChangesMovement overhaulWe changed the movement system to provide a more consistent experience. If your figurine is on a movement cooldown, you can queue its move, and it will move once the cooldown is done. Besides, figurines can now move through friendly figurines. This ensures a much more smooth experience both during and out of combat.New Encounter systemOur new encounter system is a new interesting way of presenting enemies on the battle board. Instead of a dynamic AI that moves around the board as you play, we have combined the enemy encounters into small static parties that becomes alive when you enter their encounter zones as you explore the board.Figurine Ability Warning systemAbilities are now visually shown in the UI with an icon and a “casting time” when used.Abilities can have \"casting time\" allowing to react and break the casting timeCasting time has been added to the majority of enemy abilities (to give counterplay options)Moving enemy functionality to abilities such as spirit teleport, Volva teleport, etc.Also, ability special effects have received an overhaul; changing to something that should be easier to parse visually.Three types of abilitiesInstant cast and effect - Player can’t interrupt or avoid the effectDelayed cast with instant effect - Player can interrupt and avoid the effectInstant cast but delayed effect - Player can’t interrupt but maybe move to avoid the effect
