The beta for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes v1.5 is live! Download it through the Steam client to help us test the next update for our fantasy empire builder.

To get the v1.5 beta, do the following:

  • Launch Steam

  • Open your Library

  • Right-click Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, select Properties

  • In the Betas tab, select the v1.5 Beta option from the first drop-down menu

  • Once your download is finished, launch the game

We’ve done a lot of work with diplomacy in this patch, so you should see the AI talking to you more both about how it feels about you and its views on the other players in the game. There are also a bunch of tweaks to the diplomatic AI under the hood, which we think make for a more compelling strategy layer.

UI and balance have received their usual pass as well. Among many other changes, cycling units now skips armies set to guard, spell descriptions have been improved, and Heart of Fire has an unrest penalty to make early Fire magic less overpowering.

We also tracked down a couple of nasty crash and hang bugs that were afflicting some users. Legendary Heroes should be much more stable now.

Happy conquering, and please drop any feedback in the support forum.

Might want to edit the title to reflect the BETA nature of this...I was initially surprised this had gone out wo/the beta until I read the contents

Yes, thank you.

I'm excited to try out the diplomacy tweaks. This was my least favorite aspect of FE.  It was too easy to exploit the AI for everything it had. I'll check it out tonight. 

 

*edited* I might actually make sense now. I could not sleep last night. Today is a big day for me.

If it is like the other betas, the achievements should still work.

Some days I wish I worked at a place where I could play some games.

Agreed. I work in parking automation. "Press the button to get a Parking ticket" in my dreams.
