Fixed several issues with the objective in Malakai’s ‘The Skaven Scheme,’ which required the player to use the Spirit of Grungni ability five times.

Fixed a bug that disbanded the entire Waaagh army when the player disbanded the first unit.
The -10 aversion between Khorne factions in diplomacy has been removed to better align with the intended design.
Fixed an issue where Gold Wizards would not apply the extra Winds of Magic capacity when embedded in an army while playing as Balthasar Gelt.

When entering a settlement, Repanse de Lyonesse’s armies will no longer receive the Water Supplies effect if they are already immune to desert attrition (e.g., from a building’s effect).

UNITS

Fixed an issue where Ikit Claw appeared to be missing a leg in his Character Details view.
Updated the ‘Orrible trait for Oglok the ‘Orrible to affect more specific unit groups.

UI/UX

Fixed an issue where Louen Leoncoeur could be renamed in campaign.
Fixed an issue where Empire politics dilemmas using male pronouns would incorrectly assign female characters as possible targets.
Renamed the Kislev ‘Walls’ building to ‘Stanitsa Defences’ to avoid confusion, as it does not actually provide walls to the settlement.

BATTLE

GENERAL/GAMEPLAY

Fixed an issue where chariots and some other entities were being hit by the same projectile multiple times, taking more damage than intended.
Fixed an issue where certain units, including Bull Centaurs, Norscan Giants, and others, did not receive the 20% movement debuff when moving through trees, in cases where they were marked to do so.
Fixed an issue in Archaon’s quest battle, ‘Slayer of Kings’, where a capture point appeared in the battle when played via the campaign.

Fixed an issue where units that broke the gate would remain idle instead of entering the settlement.
Fixed an issue where AI melee units would force path through archers on walls and become stuck, repeatedly switching between re-engaging and moving to a point. Melee units will now keep fighting if engaged on the wall.
Resolved an issue where, when the AI settlement attacker’s units entered the fort, they would return to attack the player’s units on the wall instead of focusing on capturing the victory points.
