Wartales update 20211216.1821 (December 17, 2021) is now available to download on PC (Steam). According to the official Wartales patch notes, the latest update added a new reworked Happiness system, and bug fixes. Apart from this, today’s Wartales patch also includes stability fixes.

Recently, a big update added new changes, fixes, and a long list of improvements.

Unfortunately, since the last patch, players are experiencing several issues. Today’s Craftopia update will fix a few of these issues.

What is new in Wartales December 17 Update?

Happiness system has been entirely reworked

Happiness is now accumulative. Some actions, such as assigning companions to the campfire, generate Happiness points. Conversely, not feeding or not paying your troops results in a loss of Happiness points. By accumulating Happiness, you reach levels that give you bonuses. If your total drops too low, your companions will be quick to leave your group. If a companion is ready to leave you, you will be afforded a last chance to convince him to stay with you.

Tutorials/Tooltips

Saves

You can now choose among three save modes :

  • Free : You can save at any time and make multiple saves of the same game
  • Normal (as it is actually in the game) : Only one save per game, but you can go back at any time to certain checkpoints, like the last village you visited, the beginning of a battle, etc.
  • Ironmen : One save, one chance! You cannot go back and any Game Over is irreversible.
