Balance Adjustments
Fleshwolves Group Behavior Correction
- We have addressed an issue concerning the behavior of fleshwolves in the “Prophecy of the Fleshwolf” attack. Previously, these creatures would mistakenly engage players’ squads on an individual basis. This unintended behavior significantly increased the difficulty of combating them, as players’ units would not respond to the attackers until a collision occurred.
– *Fix Details:* The correction involves ensuring fleshwolves attack in cohesive groups, making their assault more predictable and providing players with a fair chance to organize a defensive strategy. Squad AI has been adjusted to detect and respond to these group attacks appropriately, improving overall gameplay balance.
AI Freezing Due to Bandaging Action
- Another critical issue identified was a bug where fleshwolves would commence bandaging their wounds during combat, resulting in their AI freezing. This unintended behavior hindered the flow of combat and created immersion-breaking scenarios.
– *Fix Details:* The fix prevents fleshwolves from initiating the bandaging sequence, thereby maintaining their intended aggressive behavior and preserving the challenging pace of encounters. This adjustment ensures the AI remains functional and responsive throughout battles.
Stability Improvements
Crash Fix During Social Thoughts Loading
- A major stability concern was addressed where the game would crash while loading social thoughts that had become corrupted during the saving process. This instability could disrupt gameplay and hinder player progress.
– *Fix Details:* We have implemented a robust error handling mechanism that detects and manages corrupted social thought data more effectively. This ensures that the game can recover gracefully from such issues, thereby vastly enhancing stability and preventing crashes related to corrupted data during save operations.
