Stability & Performance

Greatly reduced the temporary freeze that can occur when Ultimate Crisis mode fires every end game at once.
Pressing escape while dragging ancillaries in the Character Details panel no longer freezes them in that place indefinitely.
Fixed a softlock that could occur when AI Katarin or AI Kostaltyn won the followers race.

Gameplay

Below are changes made to the gameplay systems, AI, and other mechanics that define how the game is played.

Rules & Systems

Fixed Settlement building costs showing the unmodified value on not yet unlocked buildings (higher tiers).
Gifting a region to another faction no longer incurs control penalties.
Special Heroes that come from rites (Ptra’s Necrotect, Pestilent Scheme Priest and the DOOOOM! Engineer) can no longer equip magic items, as they would be lost as soon as the Hero performed their action.
Fixed an issue where recruiting units from a horde army was not possible when the horde army was within a settlement.
Fixed Action Points not updating correctly when re-recruiting a lord after convalescing.
Units with the Always Flying attribute can no longer melee attack buildings (gates, walls, constructible defences).
The UI now informs the player why recruitment is unavailable, when it’s because they cannot change stance.
Added a tooltip to character trait choices in dilemmas.
Changing the battle difficulty when on the pre-battle screen now correctly updates the auto-resolve result.
Fixed effect range in ability tooltips not showing correctly in campaign when it has been modified by effects.
Fixed an issue that was stopping abilities from correctly decreasing reload speed.

AI Rules & Logic

Addressed issues of AI units moving indecisively when attempting to enter settlements.

Exploit Fixes

Fixed a UI exploit that allowed banners to be assigned to units that shouldn’t be able to equip them.
