[2019] Conan Unconquered Game Update (Patch Notes for 02/07/2019)

Hello everyone, we've just pushed the latest changes from the test branch of Conan Unconquered into the live branch!

We really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to test these changes and provide constructive feedback, so don't hesitate to share any further thoughts and suggestions, we're listening!

GENERAL FIXES:

• Added a cap for all advanced, elite and siege wave enemies to prevent instances where the number of attacks can be overwhelming. Handles 30+ Large Spiders on Co-op Mission #5 (for example) in Co-Op and Unconquered Modes.
  
• Corpse catapults will now block nearby structure placement as intended.
  
• Additional check added to Avatar of Mitra to prevent him attempting to attack while in summon animation (and breaking the summon).
  
• Fix for a case of units getting stuck with a protected order, unable to receive new orders from the player. Basically, fixes issue where player units can no longer be controlled.
  
• Adjusted targeting settings for all player ranged units (Javelin Soldier, Archer, Heavy Archer, Sorcerer); units should now spread their shots out more when garrisoned in towers and facing large numbers of enemies.
  
• Passability changes to prevent units from clipping into water areas and other odd behavior in relation to general pathfinding.
  
• General crash fix when issuing orders (no specific repro case for this)
  
• Fix for Coop teammates unable to research if they hide production buttons in game options.
  
• Added logic to allow the fire slinging wave units to target additional walls (so that they are not stuck on the first wall they attack)

BALANCE CHANGES:

• All unit fire-fighting ability increased by 20%. In addition, fire-extinguishing sand now hits in a slight AoE, allowing for easier extinguishing of burning walls.
