Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord got an update:

Update released (v3.2.0)!

Hi all,

as usual a couple of weekend fixes and updates:

• Bug fix: fixed disappearing tooltips (sometimes disappearing after battle in full-screen)
• 7 new items and artefacts: holy chalice, blood chalice, skull belt, etc.
• Fire/cold/lighting/poison resistances - we are slowly moving into rock-paper-scissors design, where attack are more or less effective against certain kind of units

We have only 5 more terrains to re-drawn for AOF1!
Expect an HD version soon!

Patch 2.7.5 for Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord is out:

Hi all,

Thank you all for suggestions and play-testing!
Morale seems to be very fun feature, but there is still more tuning to do.

In this patch:

• (Linux only) game home folder will be moved to ~/.config directory - please let me know if it causes any issues
• enslaved, summoned, possessed and hypnotized units death does not cause morale loss
• champion and terror give +2/-2 morale
• dwarven ale gives +2 morale + healed hp
• enslaved units have -2 morale
• hero has +4 morale
• heroes cannot escape battle
• warg can evolve champion for all wolves
• wolf gets killer blow
• goblin assassin gets poison flask
• couple of new icons
• bugfix: it's no longer possible to 'Undo' panic, berserker or confusion
• bugfix: short unit summary was not always refreshed upon action
• bugfix: 'new items in your cache' message won't be displayed if there are no item in cache
• bugfix: evolveable attributes which are also given by items are working correctly now
• other minor tunings

Take care and have fun!

Age of Fear 2 update 2.7.0 adds a morale value to your units:

Hi all,

this is the BIG UPDATE - we have implemented lots of new features:

• MORALE - units have morale value - they will panic, get bonuses from high morale, etc.
  It's quite complex feature and we did not add Tutorial section yet.
  For more details see this thread.

• HAND mouse pointers - just to add flavor to game. Now cursors look like skeleton hand, orc hand, etc. Old cursors (arrows) are still available from Configuration menu.
• OBSERVER mode - to watch AI playing vs AI. Previously used for testing, but here you have.
• BACKSTAB ATTACKS - unit will get -2 Defence penalty id attacked from behind. Perfect for slaughtering those retreating units!
• RALLY skill for Hero - some heroes can stop retreating units and add morale to your troops.
• NEW BUGS! - implementing all those features introduced a bunch of bugs and maybe de-balanced armies. Please let us know ASAP so we can fix them.

Take care,
Les

Age of Fear 2 got some patches in the last few weeks:

Patch 2.66

this time a small update:
- status indicators were iconised and will be displayed under unit's life bar

IMHO, it makes game look much better

Also, we are thinking of introducing a major feature - Morale.
Please join discussion there:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/341150/discussions/0/496880503067012622/

Patch 2.64

some more features and fixes:
- upgradable Dual Wield for heroes (only warriors) - hero can equip two weapons
- enable/disable units' confirmation voices - from Sound tab in configuration
- optimised drawing of terrain - by default it's off - it can be switched on from Display I tab in Configurations
- minor rebalance changes

Patch 2.61

This is major update as we are releasing restrictions to upgradable skills - till now every skill was available at any time if unit had enough experience.

With this update skills are limited to unit's level - for example, Archmages will get Time Shift spell only at Elite level.

Also, for Mac OS X and Linux users - Java has been bundled (1.8.0_60), therefore it's not necessary to install it separately any longer.

All feedback is welcome!

The developer of the game - Leszek Sliwko - wants some feedback on Age of Fear 1 & 2, so he provided RPGWatch with 5 Steam keys of each game.

Watchers (minimum post count 30) who want to play both games and give us and Les some first impressions should reply to this thread. I'll PM the keys to the first 5.
