 First - it is Steam Summer sale! Pick up a copy of any of our games on discount, or complete the set with our Trese Brothers bundle. Second, this week we have added a new type of effect into the game's balance -- the +Crit Damage % effect. This increases the multiplier for Critical Damage, in the event that you roll one. If you were causing 200 Dmg, rolled a Crit, and had +50% Crit Dmg, you'd score an extra 100 Dmg for it, plus whatever normal Damage you were going to get on your Crit multipler roll. Check out the Talents -- Aimed Shot, Berserk Rage, Hammer Blow and Smiting Blow for this new ability. It will be coming to gear in a near term update. Speaking of Damage from Criticals, we've also improved the balance of higher AP attacks to do more critical damage. A standard weapon (1 AP or 2 AP) will still result in the same potential Crit Damage range, from 200% to 300% Dmg. If you are using a 3 AP attack or spell, you get a +50% bonus to that Dmg, and a 4 or higher AP attack gets a +100% bonus to that attack. Major crush! Also, thanks to some big work Templar Battleforce, we've been down in the dungeons of the game engine's core and we have squeezed out a significant performance boost across the board -- improving the speed of enemy turns, movement, story cut-scenes, basically everything. Finally, we've switched the Item list over into a grid form to help reduce scrolling. Enjoy! v4.2.39 - 6/23/2016- Major performance boost to game map across the board - New type of game effect: Increased Critical Dmg % - Increased Crit Dmg for high AP weapons/spells; 3 AP is +50%, 4+ AP is +100% - Berserk Rage, Hammer Blow, Smiting Blow, Aimed Shot gain +Crit Dmg - Items list converted to grid, fixed bug with Fast Movement option - Improved balance in the Weaver fights On App StoreHeroes of Steel RPGHeroes of Steel RPG EliteOn Google PlayHeroes of Steel RPGHeroes of Steel RPG EliteOn AmazonHeroes of Steel RPGHeroes of Steel RPG Elite |

Cool beans, thanks!

It's surprising how much I like the item grid. Cool beans, thanks! Glad it helps. One of the next steps down the line will be to do some work to visually differentiate potions, tinctures and scrolls at different levels. The less reading, the less scrolling, the better! |

Awesome! Going to tinker around on my android tablet tomorrow to check out the improvements. Can you believe that the AppStore is still on 4.2.35? *Rolls eyes* Yet Templar BF has had 2 updates in the past week or so...
I don't even mind the AppStore being slow to test/release, but it was better when we could count on a consistent number of days behind dev release (in most cases), so we could look forward to a specific day +/- to get the update.
Btw, I just finished the battle against Vernuk, and basking in the glow of the afterbattle in Brunehorn before hopping on a fast boat to some mystic or something... :-)

We do our best to keep the releases up to date on Apple, but it is an on-going challenge with the review queue. Battleforce has a hit a bit of a skid with iOS due to Apple upgrades, and so we've been firing off releases furiously to try to resolve the SDK-introduced bugs. Hopefully, with 2.3.3 in the Apple queue already, it will land soon! Enjoy that afterglow lol. The moments after the fight, when Tamilin talks to the Koda Knight were some of my favorite to write. |

Any word on what is going on with Amazon? They show the version as 4.2.33 so it is getting farther behind. Is there some issue involved?

Amazon is blocking our updates and we really do not know when we will be able to update with them again. They've changed the requirements for Android submissions and we're not currently able to meet their new requirements. Unfortunately, they didn't give us enough warning for us to address it in a timely fashion, so we're trying to play catch up. In the mean time, we will not able to update Amazon's version of the games. |
