Patch 1.6.66 Release Notes

Darkest greetings Underlord,

The patch number of the beast marks an auspicious occasion for our fans in a number of countries over on the continent! At long last we’re in a position to update our unsupported but not forgotten European languages, and bring them in line with the English, French, German, and Chinese localisations.

You can read our full announcement post here.

 

European Languages Return!

As announced in our previous post, and in today’s announcement, we’re proud to reveal that the discontinued European languages are now updated and back in the game, and we’ll be continuing their support into the future! We welcome your feedback!

• Updated previously deprecated European Languages to include all the game’s text updates since Patch 1.0.1:
  • Spanish
  • Italian
  • Polish
  • Russian
• Added subtitles in various pre-rendered cinematics throughout the game for the above languages

Gameplay Changes

Units

Spirit

• Can no longer pass through Possession Doors

Spirit Worker

 

• Can no longer pass through Possession Doors

• Constructs may no longer be placed inside shrines or Dungeon Cores

Rituals

Assembly

• Now has an effect if used twice on the same defence.

 

AI Improvements

• Workers will no longer attack anything except rival Workers, regardless of how high their chances are to win. This is to keep them on task when working near low-threat objects such as doors.

Performance Optimisations

• Improved the performance of Worker scouting behaviour
• Optimised unit behaviour to significantly reduce “garbage” created on unit spawn

Game Text Updates

• Clarified the mutator behaviour on tooltips for disabling Fortified Walls, and disabling the ability to dig them out, in relation to certain Aspects (prompted by a user forum issue http://steamcommunity.com/app/230190/discussions/0/1483232961049141169/)

 

Visual Changes

• Small improvements to Slaughterpen lights
• Increased brightness of Slaughterpen slightly

 

Miscellaneous

• Gold Piles will now be placed up to 17 tiles from where they are dropped in the Vault, rather than 5
• Achievements for My Pet Dungeon unlockable themes are now listed in level order on the unlocks screen

Visuals

Text

• Made “fortified wall” a proper noun on tooltips for Siege Shrine, Underminer, and Augrum Wall (consistency issue)
• Fixed a tooltip typo for the Ember Demon Rally Flag
• Fixed the time limit on the War for the Overworld Level 5 timed achievement, so that it now correctly reads 23 minutes, not 18 (in Simplified and Traditional Chinese)
