    What's new:

    • A slight increase in research time of the hand powers. On the majority of maps that means no change. On some rare maps where you've got to research the ability to slap or pick up, it now takes a few seconds to research, instead of being done instantly.
    • Fixed creatures with critical health being affected by Call to Arms. Before this fix if units returned to the lair/hatchery during CTA they would refuse to eat/sleep and would die from hunger. Now they will actually eat and sleep.
    • Implemented a fear system:
      - Creatures have a FearStronger property that decides when they run away from creatures that do x time more melee damage and have more health then they do. (Having allies helps, the enemy having allies makes it worse)
      - Creatures have a FearsomeFactor property that makes the unit appear to do X times as much melee damage when doing fear calculations. Compensates for units with useful spells and abilities to offset their low health and melee damage. (E.g. Spellcasters)
      - The old FearStronger calculation would do a 'luck role' which doubles damage and thus fear factor. My calculation averages out the chance for double damage instead.
      - Removed all traces of the KeeperFX 'official' fear-no-flee factor.


    The fear system is a big change, and I would love to hear feedback about this. In the first version of KeeperFX Unofficial I removed the KeeperFX fear system because it had a nonsensical toggle and made spell casters too afraid to even fight. However, some people still longed for a system where units would not run into their death on the other side of the map. (like flies or hell hounds). That's in now in. I had to said initial values for each creature, but it's possible that some units are to scared or too fearsome. So let me know if you run into this and I can tweak the values.
    The CTA change is also scary, if units misbehave during CTA be sure to let me know. Better yet, make a save of it and share it.

    On an unrelated not, I created a wiki page to show new KeeperFX controls: https://github.com/Loobinex/keeperfx...-Game-Commands
    Yeah you say you've removed the fear-no-flee factor. This was still in some of my crtrs files, hence they were coming up in the warning.
    It doesn't really matter, it works now, and my log no longer shows the same warning about creature attributes.

    Thanks for your input

    I know it’s a feature from DK2 but when you defeat an enemy in dk2 you claim their rooms instantly. Do you think this is something that can be implemented maybe as a script command, or something that can be turned off by a command so makers can decide whether they want the option.
    i mean if it’s even possible
    just an idea.
    I don’t know code myself or I’d try

    How does this feature work in DK2?

    This is a skirmish / multiplayer feature, it's not active during Single Player.

    Normally, defeating another Keeper causes them to give their mana to the one who defeated them, and in S/M, it's possible to additionally make it so the killed Keeper will drop Specials at their Heart or have all their land and rooms instantly converted to the ownership of the one who killed them.

    I've encountered an issue in version 2128 with the FULLY_HAPPY_WITH_GOLD bug fix. First of all, how much gold is needed to satisfy them now? A vampire didn't receive his payday and got angry, so I tried dropping 2 paydays' worth of gold on him, but he didn't care. It was split into many piles of gold though, does it have to be in 1 pile for it to work? I also tried dropping him in the treasure room but he just took his payday and continued to be angry. Vampires get more angry from praying in a temple so it's a real problem.

    It does not need to be in a single drop. A vampire getting angry from not getting a salary generated 2500 unhappiness. But it could be that you not paid him for longer and he got more angry. Actually taking the payday will give him -250 unhappiness, so it needs to take 10 paydays to get the happiness back. Hand dropping gold gives double the happiness, so roughly 5 paydays worth of gold dropped to compensate for 1 missed payday. A lvl1 vampire takes 750 gold for payday.

    Do these figures seem to match your experience?
