Content update #4 is now live! Just in time for the end of the month.

We noticed the most popular type of map in skirmish has been 2v2, so this time we have a new 4-player map called Lubaans!



A large central lake divides players, only allowing approaches from the sides. Players can be divided along a short defensible or a long open path.



Also in this update we’ve added a much-requested feature: multi-queuing. When you have several of the same unit production buildings selected, units will be queued from both. More quality-of-life features are to come in future updates.



As usual, the content is accompanied by various fixes and improvements. Among those are some balance changes which we added after talking to our Discord community.

Features:

• New map: Lubaans, a 4 player map with a central lake.
• Multi-queueing in military buildings, it divides units to the same type of building.
• Enemy AI now falls back when the attack party only has healers.
• Spigana basic attack moved to hotkey spot Q, for manual bombardment funtimes.
• We decided to remove godpower blocking zones for now. We introduced them last update, but have not seen them improve the game. For now they were too confusing and laden with issues. We will look into making the shrine itself survive more godpower punishment next patch or update.
• Raider Throwing Nets do not target other already-netted units.

Fixes:

• Towers now retarget when enemies walk outside of their targeting range. This previously caused the towers to sometimes stop shooting.
• Attempt to fix text blurriness issues. This appears to be an unexpected challenge, and we will monitor the result of these changes. Please let us know if this becomes better or worse for you with this update.
• Glyphs clear when changing to a hero who is not compatible with them.
• Hunter worshippers now shoot at deer instead of world 0 0 0 location. Aim for the deer, buddies, you can do it.
• Saule’s Solar Ray animation should play without delay now. A custom animation will be added later.
• All army UI counter has been improved, but still needs some issues ironed out.
• Attempting to fix Pukis zero health invincibility bug. We were not able to repro this, so we are aiming in the dark. Please report if you keep seeing this issue or have an idea on how to reproduce it.
• Fixed typo in Amber Ward upgrade description.
• Fixed description of Giltine’s Kiss, it no longer states that it deals foul damage.
• Fix for networking where units kept sending unnecessary commands many times over; this should improve networking performance.
