Update v2.0.1:
Patch Highlights

Skirmish Voice-Over
We’ve added unique event-based speech to ALL opponent Underlords in Skirmish mode. Face your favoured opponent and hear them smack talk you! (This can be turned off in the Sound Options.)

Skirmish AIs will now react to in-game events vocally, providing ongoing commentary
The AI you hear is determined by the personality you are facing
The volume of the Skirmish VO can be controlled independently in sound options
A new mutator has been added to disable these for map-makers or in skirmish
Postal Worker
It is now possible to unlock a new “Postal Worker” skin via the In-Game newsletter signup.

If you are already signed up to the Newsletter then you simply need to enter your email again, you will not be signed up again but your skin will unlock.

Underlord AI Improvements
Our work on the Underlord AI has continued, now the AI is more intelligent, challenging and varied than ever before

Now employs more varied and entertaining strategies than in 2.0, and is now challenging for the highest-skilled players
AI performs coordinated blob attacks (it wasn’t doing this right before)
AI usage of defences and defensive Aspects has been vastly improved, allowing it to make much better use of Sloth-heavy strategies
The AI now uses a total of 76 Aspects (up from 54)
Increased the number of different build orders from 20 to 43 (from 3 per personality to approximately 7 per personality)
Reworked each of the old build orders to use newly-added Aspects and recent balance changes
Added one funny troll build order for each AI personality, surprising you with early Armageddon, a sea of Bone Chillers and Quick Freeze potions, Wells of Souls and Crypts all over the place, and much more!
Significant performance improvements to AI operations
Mighty Script Becomes Mightier
We’ve made a lot of changes to the Map Editor and Mighty Script based on the feedback we’ve received so far. There’s a lot of significant changes so please read the Map Editor section to see them all!

Performance Improvements
We’ve not left any stone unturned in our hunt for places to optimise the game. We know that performance is a big concern for a lot of our players and it’s something we’re always looking to improve.

Up to 50% reduction in the amount of Garbage Collection Stutter on certain systems
When Stutter does occur the effects should be reduced by up to 33%
Our tests were run on our in-house minimum specification machine, results will vary
The performance impact of redrawing Unit Shields has been reduced
Object Highlighter should now be more efficient
Introduced improvements to animation culling which should improve FPS
Optimised new Underlord AI performance impact
Further optimised Unit Pathfinding & Needs decision making
Improved performance in the Main Menu
Disposing of units in the gateway should no longer cause major FPS loss
Text display is now more memory efficient
Staggered the effects of the Fortify ritual to reduce performance impact
Identified and fixed a couple of memory leaks
Many other optimisations should yield improved performance on most systems

Level / Campaign Changes

War for the Overworld
We’ve touched up a few of the original campaign’s levels in the wake of the main campaign remaster, in particular, there are a few levels we weren’t happy with the achievements on so we’ve tightened the requirements up or in some cases (Subjugation) loosened them a bit.

Level 3
Changed visuals on the wall tops in the Empire Base
The “Portal Gems” speedrun achievement now requires you to defeat the level in 16 minutes (down from 19 minutes)

Level 13
Drawbridge Winches now have a death VFX
Added a debriefing screen following the level
The Aum will now fly around the Emperor, his power is maximum
Updated Granite tops
Heart of Gold
Heart of Gold has always been in quite a good place and although we’re always looking out for issues (and have fixed a few) we’re pretty happy with the campaign, we’ve made a few small changes to enhance the experience through the campaign

Level 1
Swapped Artefacts of Gold for Artefacts of Plentiful Gold
Inquisitors now spawn throughout the level, increasing the amount of units that can eventually torture a certain annoying wizard
Level 2
The Road on this level is now always visible, rather than simply revealing the area around the patrols


My Pet Dungeon
With a few changes being made across the rest of the game we went through to make sure that the My Pet Dungeon campaign reflected those changes.

The Wizard and Arcane Templar have been added to the Toybox and Toybox waves on most levels
The bosses in the Toybox are now the non-Campaign versions with correctly functioning unit needs
Lockshackle
Lockshackle: The Thunderling potion and Empowered Banshee spell are now banned (as all summoning Aspects are)


The Under Games
The Under Games are massive and feature a lot of moving parts. Our ambition was to ensure that each of the distinct playable Underlords encapsulated a unique experience well and we think that’s turned out really well. We still want to make some tweaks though so that the experience is more consistent across all Underlords.

Underlord Lamash
The goal when playing as Lamash is to feel like you’ve got tons of units to play with, but then have to make the tough choice of who to keep alive, and who to burn – these changes should help solidify that feeling

Hazard Pay: Payday multiplier for living units decreased from 300% to 250%
Undead Horde: Unit spawn rate for all units dramatically increased
Undead Horde: Adjusted how Shamblers and Restless Spirits spawn to now be tied to Lair size, allowing you to more predictably attract more if you wish
Underlord Kasita
Can now attract Golden Weavers
Building large Vaults will attract more Golden Weavers
Golden Weavers are worth a large amount when Blood Money is used
Passive gold generation decreased from 25/s to 20/s
Underlord Oberon
Now has a range of buffs to make him a more challenging opponent (Mendechaus is crafty like that)
Underlord Marcus
Now has the same special Chunders that Volta has
Underlord Rhaskos
Now has the same special Beasts that Shale has
Underlord Draven
Now has the same special undead units that Lamash has
Rockhard (Level 3)
Replaced the Research Shrines with Underworld Gateways
This allows the special unit spawning for Lamash, Kasita and other Underlords to function on this map
Added several Artefacts of Greater Sin


Crucible
Empowered Banshee and Reanimation are no longer banned
Scenarios
We’ve taken the decision to remove the customer scenarios that were produced by our voluntary QA testers during the production of 2.0 or before. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it stems froum us wanting a clear division between content that is and is not actively supported by us. What this means is that we will only include scenarios we’re 100% happy with on localisation, features, testing and performance, by limiting this to maps we create ourselves we can ensure that we know ever level inside and out and can provide support appropriately in a way that was not possible with these custom levels.

We should say that this is not a reflection on the quality of these levels as they are all great experiences produced by very talented and dedicated people, it is simply that we wish to maintain complete control over our scenario content. All of these maps are still available on the Workshop with the added benefit that you can download them and subscribe to updates from their creators as well as provide feedback directly to them.

This is a conclusion we should have reached earlier but in the scramble leading up to 2.0’s release we did not properly consider the ramifications of including these maps on our support structure. When it came to this decision we considered other options but ultimately we felt that this would result in unfair restrictions being placed on these talented creators which would no doubt result in them being unable to truly create the maps they wish to create.

We apologise to all the incredible people who helped create these maps and for all the players who have enjoyed them. Please show your support by downloading them direct for the workshop!

Removed many of the custom scenarios produced by our voluntary QA testers
Added a “Download scenarios” button to the menu that will take players to the relevant workshop
