Summary of changes through to 1.1.7

Post by Skippy »

I haven't done anything with the manual lately and have just started playing again after a hiatus and noted that a number of things seem to have changed in 1.1.7. So I thought I might try to update it a bit with the new information. But, not being involved in the development I'm not certain about details - that's where the denizens here come in.

I have noticed that healing seems to have changed: a unit with 'cures' (aka heals +8 ) doesn't seem to have a 18 HP maximum anymore. Can anyone give me details?

Recalling costs: it seems to be 20GP per unit regardless of level rather than 20GPxlevel. Am I mistaken?

Any other noticeable changes that I should include in the manual? (No promises :) )

The healer is capable of healing the same amount (+8 in this case, although the ability can be customized to give any amount) to all adjacent units, instead of distributing a set amount between all adjacent units. AFAIK heals is the only ability that restores hitpoints, while cures only removes poison.

That's correct (hasn't it always been like that?), it's 20g per unit.

Probably not actually all that many to the manual, as I think not many gameplay elements have changed...but maybe someone else can check.

Maybe I was confusing recall cost with maintenance cost...

It used to be that 'heals', now 'heals +4' would prevent poison from doing damage that turn, but not cure poison. Is that no longer the case? I presume that you can't heal on the same turn that you are cured.

Also, what happens if a unit is next to two heals +4 units? Still limited to +4?

Just to clarify, 'cures' does only remove poison now and 'heals +X' is the actual healing ability. ATM every curing unit also has the 'heals +8' ability though.

Otherwise nothing more has changed in regard to healing.

Well - I changed the manual to reflect my understanding of it all. If it's wrong - feel free to correct it.
