After a few beta branches available through Steam over the last few weeks, Creative Assembly and Sega have issued a patch through the digital platform for the Bretonnia leg of Total War: Warhammer.
The patch itself isn't the one to add the Bretonnians as a playable race - than happened last month - but a basic patch to help alleviate some of its teething issues. Namely minor balance tweaks and performance issues.
The update certainly isn't optional for those looking to play online - namely due to the leaderboard reset likely caused by the 'drop-hackers' who're getting a fresh new penalty to make up for those losing their progress. The following changes have been put into place;
Total War: Warhammer Dark Elves - Everything We Know
- The Total War: WARHAMMER multiplayer leaderboards have been reset.
- A 5% score penalty will now be applied to users caught drop-hacking from multiplayer battles (disconnecting under suspicious circumstances).
- Fix for users becoming unable to save the game, after the last chapter mission is completed on Legendary difficulty.
- Fixed a missing building chain in the Grung Zint settlement.
- All income types from Farming/Industry bonuses are now being applied correctly to all resource buildings.
- Fixed a rare crash when disbanding Heroes on the campaign map.
- Fix for Guardians of the Lady skill giving magic resistance instead of missile resistance.
- Fix for Gelt's Pegasus unlock level.
- Fix for inconsistency between Strigoi and Ghorst spells and the main lore spells.
- Chivalry is no longer gained for torturing people in during Quests.
- Updated garrison for Couronne and removed wall building chain.
- Various text, game guide and localisation fixes.
- Balance Changes
- Questing Knights
- - 8 Charge Bonus
- Foot Squires
- - 10 Leadership
- - 6 Charge Bonus
- Men-at-Arms
- + 25 Cost
- Helman Ghorsts's Vanhel Danse Macabre
- -1 Power Cost
- Strigoi's Soulblight
- +1 Power Cost
Those who helped ease the patch in with testing efforts over the last week or two won't find much different here. But for those unaware that this patch was even in the works, the lose of your place in the leaderboards might come as an unwelcome surprise.
Thank those who decide to lessen the experience of others. They've done it again.
