Age of War Chapter 4 Hotfix (Public Beta Update 9 April 2024)

Greetings Exiles, Public Beta has been updated today with a release candidate for the planned Chapter 4 Hotfix patch, along with an updated Mod Devkit. The changes can be found here:

General

• Potion of Midnight is now craftable at a new station located next to the Werehyena who teaches you the recipe. This station is the only station where it can be crafted.

• Followers will now properly defend against the Werehyena Ambush
• Bearer Thrall HP increased to original pre-Chapter 4 values
  • (Dev note: This change is temporary, as we feel the current HP values of Bearer Thralls is too high. This will be revisited after a new feature in a future update)

• Increased pathing speed during Fatality Executions (e.g. your character will move into position faster)
• Thralls guarding a gate frame will no longer slide when the gate is opened
• Resurrected Corpse inventory fixed and usable
  • Also fixed an issue which allowed Resurrected Corpses to be given armor
