0.78.27d

Hello Northguardians! We’re thrilled to welcome the Clan of the Wolf to Northgard Battlegrounds!

Along with the Clan of the Wolf this update also includes a balance pass to address the top performing structures. The goal was to bring the top strategy back down a bit after the last balance pass. Health, TOWERS and Thorns were a very strong playstyle, so we’ve adjusted all the important pieces down now.

The cleave changes from last patch appear to have made high rarity MYSTICAL units viable again, but now they are maybe a tad too strong, so we’re taking a small amount away from the top performers.

Included are some bug fixes and QoL UI fixes, like being able to see your opponent’s blessings after a battle!

Improvements & Fixes

• Fixed Woodcutter giving more damage than intended (5/10/15 → 4/8/12).

• Revive now uses in-game seconds to tick (and therefor respects the speed up), and decreased the revive duration from 3 → 2 seconds.

• Opponent clan info isn’t hidden when battle is over.

• Fixed clamping on Detail View UI (Sometimes you were unable to see the tags on the top shop item)

• Fixed towers not triggering runes and blessings (e.g. Inspiring Architecture not working was because the last structure you placed was a tower)

• Removed “alt” as a hotkey for the wish list button in the main menu

• Cleave was incorrectly causing thorns dmg (which in turn, made ranged units with cleave incorrectly take thorns dmg)

• Ranked league icons are now updating (The tilted square under the EXP bar) - We are also working on more communication when players rank up or down.

• General stability & many minor bug fixes.
