Dear friends! As we`ve promised, work on improving the balance is going on. After thorough analysis and testing of your suggestions and recommendations, we`ve done some major fixes and changes, which should make the game better. Also in the new patch we improved the AI Adviser (function from Guardians of the Highlands mini expansion). You can read more about these changes below: General: 1. Reduced the critical (headshot) chance of muskets from 4 to 3. AI Adviser (function from DLC Guardians of the Highlands): 1. While choosing troops to set on guard near buildings, adviser will try to use melee infantry. 2. AI assistant won`t repair buildings which were set on fire by player via pressing the Delete key. 3. Changed peasant selection algorithm used for constructing new buildings. Now it processes game priorities, size and time of construiction properly 4. Now AI sets peasants training on infinte production, instead of building them one by one. 5. Changed resource gathering priorites. Now adviser would send lesser amounts of peasants to gather food. 6. Fixed an error, which caused adviser using units from squads to set on guard. Errors: 1. Fixed an error, when units able to shoot and attack with bayonet weren`t able to attack in melee if reload time for musket wasn`t over. 2. Fixed an error, causing some shooters inability to shoot from maximum range.
