Stronghold: Warlords 1.10.23892

Updates

Added Fu Hao AI Lord
Added 3 new Skirmish maps
- Windy Plains - Ideal for allied Lords to face off against another team, this tightly fit battleground atop the steppe will prove challenging for some players more than others.
- Muddy Route - 4 players will find themselves stuck fast in the deep muds, with little space to build their economy but plenty of open ground for fighting.
- Island Tensions - There's no respite from warmongering neighbours in this highly unequal island. Grab a warlord if you can and be prepared to defend them.
Added New Skirmish Trail ‘The Trail of the Tyrant’
Added The Lion Warlord
- The Lion Warlord exudes strength and leadership. Harnessing the power of the Lion will bolster your sieges, sending shivers down the spine of your enemies.


Balance Changes
Re-balanced all Warlord Shipment edicts for consistency
Re-balance all Warlord attack and relief force edicts for consistency


General Fixes
Fix for Campaigns screen showing Difficulty screen and placeholder UI text if the last campaign played is no longer available
Fixed floating walls that could result when loading a save game made during AI/Warlord wall build
Fixed the scribe sending “A message from” before all campaign overlord messages
Fixed an issue where dead players are selectable in the diplomacy map
Fixed crash when exiting the score screen after multiplayer games
Fixed warlord workers getting stuck when spawning from a wooden warlord keep
Siege towers as well as ladders now teleport troops to safe positions after docking
Fix for ranged units sometimes losing their attack targets if they didn't have LOS once having moved into range.


AI Changes
AI clans will now always move to targets within short distances, even if the target requires a roundabout route which is longer than that normally allowed.
Skirmish AI no longer build woodcamps next to workshops, to avoid blocking off worker access to the workshops
Fixed some cases where AI buildings could block off worker access:
- Weapons workshops no longer place to the right of the military academy
- Gunpowder workshops no longer place in front of walls
- Woodcamps no longer place in front of walls
- Woodcamps no longer place next to workshops
Fix for AI siege weapons sometimes getting stuck when the rest of the invasion they're in has been killed.
Improved AI for moving over walls
The AI now checks an extra tile north (and on each outer access tile) when designing gates in its castles, to fix cases where the AI thought it could place a vertical gate whose outer access tiles were actually blocked off.
Fix for AI rocket launcher clusters getting stuck if they don't have a free space to move away from the rest of the clan to


Map Editor
‘Suppress Scribe’ now works to stop the Scribe saying “A message from” before campaign overlord messages
Added a new scenario event trigger, which detects whether a building exists at a given marker position

Updates

Added Kublai Khan AI Lord
Added 3 new Skirmish maps:
- Kings and Mountains - Any king may rule from the safety of their throne. Will you be bold enough to venture forth and hold dominion over your enemies?
- Distributary - Open grounds are separated by three river crossings. Each player will need to manage large sections of walls to defend their space, while being wary of attacks from two fronts.
- Entrenched - Land and resources are plentiful for each player, but the map position can be key. Battle from the high ground on two fronts or stay grounded and defend one side. The choice is yours.
Horse Archers now speak Mongolian.
- Note: This only happens with the game set to English. All other languages use localised voicelines.


General Fixes

Fixed a crash that could occur when updating pathing for tunnels that no longer exist
Fix for Clothes as Starting Goods being set incorrectly in custom maps
Stopped Custom Missions having different starting goods based on previously selected difficulty in campaign missions
Stopped Traps and Castle defences from being placeable on tiles with walls
Fixed Tigers that would displace outside of cages when placed adjacent to other tiger cages
Fix for pathability of walkable but damaged walls frequently becoming unwalkable after saving and reloading the map
Fixed Edict tooltip formatting to be more readable
Optimisations to how grass and fire particles are handled
Optimisations for pathfinding through tunnels
Optimisation for town builds/path regeneration
Fixed emigrating peasants sometimes lingering indefinitely after their owning player died and the keep was destroyed
Fixes for certain scenarios where the AI could block their work buildings with too many silk workshops
