Update 1.5.12 (28 March 2018)
Hello there! This update is not big but still very important because it finally brings Spanish language to the game and also fixes a few nasty bugs which could affect your gaming experience.
SPANISH LOCALIZATION
Yes, we finally did it. It is a shame it took a great deal of time and we didn't manage to make it on the release but it's finally here. We hope all Spanish gamers will enjoy our game and will be pleased with translation.
Please, let us know if something's wrong. And have a good time in the world of Terminum.
ENGLISH LOCALIZATION
After the release we received a lot of complains about English localization, but since that we managed to significantly improve the localization during regular updates. And today we publish the final update for English text (at least, we do hope it is final) and hope you will be pleased with our work.
Thanks to everyone for sharing feedback.

Patch 1.2 (13 April 2018)
IRON MAN MODE
As you may know, we were very attentive to community feedback after the release, and one of the very first problems was very high difficulty of the game. Of course, we took it into account and made some changes to make the game more comfortable.
But this decision also disappointed the ones who prefer to face challenges, that's why we decided to make a separate hardcore mode for them—and today we are glad to introduce you 'Iron Man':
- You have only one save
- No lowered attributes for AI units
- AI has no limitations since the very first level of Reaping
- You can't change the level of Reaping manually
- Balanced abilities, which can be used to create so-called 'imba-tactics' based on such classes as guardian, fighter and archer in small teams
- Three additional achievements which could be earned in hardcore mode only
POST-MORTEM
Players who already beat Ash of Gods, also wanted to know more about what happened in the end of the story and what happened to the rest of their beloved characters.
It was a great idea, and we changed the end of the game with post-mortem, where you can find some additional details about what happened with the world and those characters who still alive. But keep in mind, that fate of characters are non-linear as well and depends on your unique story.
COMBAT LOG
Now you can track everything what happens on a battle field with combat log. It is hidden on default but you can easily turn it on by pressing the icon with 'L'-letter near the clock.
Combat log available in both single-player and multiplayer.
PORTRAITS AND EMOTIONS
Now you can talk with your opponent in multiplayer via our chat analogue, which allows to share emotions like 'Well played!' or 'Victory will be mine!'
Bots also use emotions to answer you.

Patch 1.0.44 (30 March 2018)
- Fixed a rare bug with Chapter 1 loading screen
Patch 1.0.41 (30 March 2018)
-
Hey! Balancing patch for the AI behavior at the Reaping level of 4+ (see details below) is on the way which brings some balance to difficulty level and AI behavior. We also would like to explain a couple of things about how it works.
-
The difficulty in the game is set by several matrices—the complexity changes smoothly from chapter to chapter due to the increasing coefficients for AI, so at the beginning of the game we weaken enemy's AI, and in the end we strengthen them to keep up with the developed player's units.
-
The second matrix—regulates the increasing levels of the Reaping, which add up to the parameters of the chapters and, most importantly, changes the key AI settings—its responses to defense, attack, tactical depth of analysis, priority of targets. So, for example, when Harvest level is more than 7, AI attempts to attack units that already have injuries, and on difficulty 2, it almost does not see protection and happily attacks those who would receive no damage.
-
We constantly collect impersonal combat stats—how many turns and round combat lasts, what units are the most effective, what AI did and how it affected the game. We also constantly read your feedback and recommendations and thus we have decided to improve the behavior of AI at levels 5 and above, allowing AI to analyze the field better, respond better to units in defense and counter-attack, better choose its goals.
Changelog:
- The maximum Reaping level is limited to 10
- Updated localization for the Italian language
- A small update of the Ens faction (sometimes in combat they had difficulties with making tactical decisions and stood in place in a counterattack instead of attacking the player)
