Elemental: Fallen Enchantress 1.02 Patch Released

Stardock’s new RPG-strategy hybrid has received a brand new update in the form of Monday’s 1.02 patch. For those of you playing, here’s the change log:

Content

Added edge scrolling in tactical

Added code so that we can have the same floating text system we have in tactical but on the strategic map. Currently this is only used for modifiers with a display name, such as Destiny’s Gift to show which of its random effects are applied.

Added xml support for city enchantments to ignore the essence requirement

Fixes

Fixed an issue where animations can repeat when shrunk

Fixed the “Defeated an Army” Achievement

Fixed a bug where death ward would only work if you got killed by melee

Fixed a bug where upon loading a gamesave, total tapped shard counts were sometimes off

Fixed an issue that could cause AI Sovereigns to get duplicate strength traits

Fixed an order of operation issue where shrink/growth/giant form can have an odd effect with other attack multipliers

The Sword of Wrath now correctly gives hit points when it kills an opponent

Fixed an issue that can cause forests to look white when going from cloth map to world view

Fixed an issue where you could get floating waterfalls after casting Raise Land (fix from Parrottmath!)

Blood Curse is now castable on cities without a free essence

Fixed an issue that if you razed a city with immobilzed units in it they would be hidden under the FoW

Fixed an issue when units were killed by a backswing or counterattack

Improved end-turn performance significantly

Reduced memory consumption significantly
