Heroes of Steel: Update #105: Foot of the Glacier

[fallen]

The dangerous path leading to the Sur-Relliar Glacier and to the foot of the final confrontation has now opened. For heroes waiting in Episode 4, pick up at the hunting gate from Vrenhaulm or the track shown by the Storm Brothers, you can pick your way down to the plains of Relliar on the surface and come to the final town -- Fierhold.

We're also excited to add two of our revered Patreons to the game in this update -- the major characters of Fierhold come straight from our amazing supporters on that service who won a raffle last year. A thank you that has been a long time coming

In other exciting news, the shops in the final city of Fierhold are putting Moonstones and Bloodstones up for sale! If you have the gold pieces you can craft and respec to your hearts content!

Saw the update, beelined for the town to do some crafts...
Bug
Butchers spines uncrafted only has 2 Range.
Butchers spines I think crafted into Keen Great Bow, it has the damage of a 2 AP bow but only takes 1 AP and has 3 Range, equipped in the thrown weapon slot.
Butchers spines > Keen Great bow - 1 AP, 46-146 damage, 3 Range, +30 Holy, 4% crit, +96% crit damage, +3 parry
Butchers spines > Keen Great Bow - 1 AP, 54-156 damage, 3 Range, 1 MP, 26 ice, 6% crit, 6 Stealth

Tamilin was hitting for 300 on undebuffed mobs, 500 with Strickening, 800 crits undebuffed, 1200 crits (saw 3 of these in 1 fight) if they were Strickened, one shotting some orcs 0.o

Rest of the crafts seemed normal. I’ll list them here.
Keen Great Bow - 46-149, 8 Range, 26 Fire, 13% crit, 60% crit dam, +10 stealth
Keen Great Bow - 50- 156, 8 Range, 140 SP, 26 ice, 2% crit, 4 Dodge, 4 stealth, 6% SP drain
Kallassian Tulwar, 46-59, 10 Fire, 26 lightning, 40% crit damage
Kallassian Tulwar, 46-59, 26 ice, 60% crit dmg, +8 Dodge
Legionnaire Shield (legionnaire was spelled wrong by the way, 2 n’s) - 13 Parry, 5% autoblock, 240 SP, 10 holy, 2% crit, 6 Dodge, +8 SP drain
Legionnaire Shield - 12 parry, 1 acc (on the Shield...tested it and it does NOT improve accuracy of Fyona’s weapon), 200 HP, 2% crit, 4 Dodge, 24 All resists
Vrotta chain plate - 136 armour, -9 evasion, 1 MP, 180 HP, 12 lightning, 6 parry
Ultua Scale > Scale Mail (name change) - 154 armour, -11 evasion, -1 acc (again, not shown in the character sheet), 12 dmg, 14 Holy, 18 All elemental resist
Underplate Weave - 63 armour, 9 evasion, 7 stealth, 160 HP, 8 lightning, 4 parry, 5 dodge
Bandit Leathers - 67 armour, 9 evasion (increased), 3 stealth (big decrease), 180 HP, 2% crit, 5% SP drain

Going to hold off doing more for now, still have lots of Bloodstones with these guys just running out of money!

This will appear as a stupid question but does this mean that the game's update is available now because I am unable to access the Sur-Relliar Glacier (the Storm brothers and Vrenhaulm are still denying me...)

The post includes a version # of 4.5.1. If you're game is at that version, they you can access the glacier. Depending on the market, the update may get to your device faster or slower. Check your main menu to see if the update has arrived!

Pretty amazing results! It sounds like you are enjoying the relatively open crafting available at Fierport

Ok this may be a really silly question but my version (on Kindle) is at 4.2.33 and I’ve been waiting like a year to see the crone, to the point that i’ve forgotten why. Is there something I’m supposed to do to get the latest updates?

constantvitalrivet - no, this one is on us. Amazon updated some core APIs related to IAPs which prevent us from doing any future updates. We have to complete an infrastructure upgrade of our Amazon support in order to push updates of any game to Amazon. In late 2017, we finished the update to Templar Battleforce Elite which proves it can be done, but it is a matter of a lot of hours. Unfortunately, as a company of 2, it has been very hard to get this back onto the list. We continue to try.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up! I’ll continue to be patient!

F*** this ... I almost got heartattack, thinking there is Witch coming 😂 there is a few spammers there lately, I really don't get it...

I am having a problem. my HOS version is 5.0.6
I made it to the second round of battle with the Seer Lords.
However, my group was overwhelmed so I pulled back to Brunehorn to regroup.
When I made my way back to Ember Core through Razed Wheel Road the game will not let me go past the entrance to again face the Seer Lords.
I can stand my group on the entrance but will not trigger entrance to the next window. Any advice? I tried rebooting the tablet. It is an android tablet.

By the way, I love this game. Lots of great fun.

[Dean]

never mind. I figured out what I was doing wrong.

[fallen]

Thanks for posting that you figured it out dean!

Enjoy the game
