Battle Brothers 1.5.0.10

Added map seed that can be entered upon starting a new campaign, and seen for ongoing campaigns created after this update, for replaying and sharing maps.
Added checkbox for 'Permanent Destruction' during late game crises when starting a new campaign. It's checked by default to work how you're used to. Unchecking it will result in settlements getting the 'Razed' situation for a considerable time instead of being permanently destroyed.
Added warning prompt for users of Avast due to compatibility issues introduced with one of their latest updates.

Changed game to unpause only after autosaving is completed when leaving towns in ironman mode, so no time on the worldmap is wasted.

Fixed issue with the game potentially hanging in some cases as characters rise from the dead during the Undead Scourge.
Fixed AI not using the 'Footwork' skill properly in some cases.
Fixed issue with 'Decisive Battle' contract.
Fixed issue with 'Privateering' contract.
Fixed various minor issues.

What’s new?
As this is the final major update, our focus was on general polish, balance and quality of life improvements as much as on the remaining major features. Here’s the shortlist.
Three different ‘Greater Evil’ late game crises for you to get involved in – a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead invasion. Each comes with their own set of contracts, events and changes to the world.
The Ancient Dead – an entire faction with new enemies to fight, new lootable weapons and armor, and unique tactics on the battlefield.
A new system for mood and desertion – your men will react to how things are progressing, and it’s your job to keep them content.
Ambitions – set goals for your company to pursue on their way to become legendary.
Obituary – honor the brave men that have fallen under your command.
Retirement – retire from your mercenary company when you’re ready to start a new life, and see how the company and its members fare without you.
A complete overhaul of Ghouls into the new and more challenging Nachzehrer.
New mechanics for morale to make resolve and initiative more important.
11 new contracts.
54 new illustrated events.
2 new music tracks.
70 Steam Achievements.
Lots and lots of smaller improvements, changes and additions.
Steam Trading Cards will be unlocked at a later time.

Note that this update is not compatible with older savegames. You will have to start a new campaign!

What’s still to come?
While this beta version is very close to the final release, there’s still things yet to come over the next few weeks.
Bugfixes
Balancing
More events
A few legendary items hidden across the world
One more music track
Any saves created with the beta version will be compatible with the release version, but some additions or late changes may require a new campaign in order to take effect. If that’s a problem for you, don’t opt into the beta.

Why put this in a beta branch first?
This update makes changes to many of the game’s core mechanics. Extensive changes like these will inevitably upset the game’s balance and introduce new issues. Participating in the beta is optional for everyone that wants to experience the new content now and doesn’t mind a few hiccups – we’re thankful for your feedback and bug reports! Everyone else may want to wait a few weeks until the game is more balanced and any issues that popped up have been ironed out.

Please report any issues you encounter in the forums following the instructions there. Do not leave random complaints as comments to this news post, they’d only get buried and lost.

How do I access the beta branch?
In order to access the beta branch of Battle Brothers you need to do as follows:
Go to your Steam library.
Right-click on ‘Battle Brothers’ and select ‘Properties’.
Go to the tab labeled ‘BETAS’.
Select ‘beta’ from the drop down menu.

Added a new contract type.
Fixed two minor events not triggering correctly.
Fixed random events triggering too close to hostile locations.
Fixed event log not properly scrolling to the last entry.
Fixed issue with roster tooltip on characters with permanent injuries.
Fixed additional ignore armor percentage of named two-handed weapons not being shown in the tooltip of their attack skills.
Fixed rare issue with two-tile melee weapons being able to hit targets that should be unreachable due to difference in height levels.
Fixed rare issue with Hoggart in the introductory contract spawning at an inaccessible tile.
Fixed various minor things.

Added 'Center Camera' button to tactical combat UI with a tooltip telling of the associated hotkey (which was only mentioned in loading screen tips before).
Added mini icons above characters also for 'No ammunition' and 'Weapon in poor condition' warnings.
Changed status effect icons in combat dropping on multiple characters at once to display at once.
Changed highlighting of values in event dialogs to use a brighter color for better readability against the wooden background.
Changed size of inventory stack from 90 to 99 items.
Fixed issue with pressing hotkeys while the retreat dialog is being shown.
Fixed issue with camera centering when tabbing in and out of the game.
Fixed flickering of UI elements.

Added new music track for battling orcs.
Added two new weapon types: Two-Handed Hammer and Longaxe.
Added missing tiers of existing weapons: Light Crossbow, Warbow and Fighting Spear.
Added message prompting the user to close the 'Plays.tv' application, if detected at startup, because it may cause the game to crash by hooking into the rendering process.
Added '-gl30' command parameter for forcing the game to run on OpenGL 3.0. Try this only if your GPU doesn't support OpenGL 3.3. No guarantees that the game will work correctly with this; the game still officially requires OpenGL 3.3 to run.
Changed status effect icons in combat to form an orderly queue and drop one after the other instead of dropping all at the same time and potentially obscure each other.
