Talisman: Digital Edition Patch - 05/06/2023

Hi Talisman fans!

Today we rolled out another patch for Talisman: Digital Edition across all platforms.

➊ General Fixes:
---• If you quit and resumed the game, you were prevented from using spells against the Lord of Darkness on the Treasure Chamber space. As much as the Lord of Darkness would have liked to keep this bug in, we’ve now fixed it so you can properly cast spells on him.
---• Occasionally, the game would hang and get stuck when there was a Stand Off during the Battle Royale ending. This has now been fixed, so your battle royales can continue with no interruptions.
---• We fixed an issue where finishing an online game would cause a “Lost Connection to Server” message to pop up.
---• We’ve also fixed Steam Cloud saves not syncing correctly - your saves should all now save to the cloud properly, so you can continue your games on a different PC.
---• Previously, the reward for the 'Defeat 100 Demons' challenge was giving people the wrong title. It has been fixed to be the correct title, so demons will now be appropriately intimidated by you.

➋ Crash Fixes:

We’ve rolled out some more crash bug fixes in this patch, including:
---• A crash caused by using immobility and spell call when playing with the Sprite character.
---• A crash that happened when you pressed the ‘Delete Account’ button when you didn’t have a Nomad Account.
---• An occasional crash when reloading player account avatar images.

If you notice any issues or would like to report a bug, you can do so either through our official Nomad Games Discord. If you’d like to keep up with everything happening with Talisman: Digital Edition and us here at Nomad Games, check out our full list of social media channels. ♥️

Greetings Lords and Ladies,

The time has finally come, all the patches, updates. fixes and improvements that you've been testing in the Public Beta during the weeks are finally entering the main build of Lords and Villeins. A lot of things have been changed / added, so we recommend going through the Change Log below, especially if you were not a part of the Public Beta testing.

For a short summary, we have redesigned nobility and royal taxation, extensively improved UI, put additional work into performance and added new ways for you to control the economy. As this patch is making significant updates to the internal data structures, you will not be able to continue playing your save files from the previous version
, so if you are not ready to switch yet, we will keep the older version available in the "oldversion" branch for some time.

We are incredibly thankful for your help with the testing and for the overall support, we would not be able to get this far without you! And that's not all, more awesome things are on the way! For now, enjoy the current update and let us know what you think about it on our Discord server, here on Steam forum or feel free to write a review of the game.

Next on our roadmap is the promised Campaign update, so stay tuned for more info soon!

Change Log:

Performance Optimization

All visitors now share a common pathfinding map instead of each family calculating their own.
Prioritization of path search for NPC over animals and further limiting animals use of pathfinding in a single frame.
New option in the settings to serialize pathfinding data. It will increase save and load time, but prevents spike on reload.


Replaced Nobles with Artisans
Chapel is no longer used by artisans. They share the church with everybody else.
The Tavern was removed. Artisans arrive through the Inn.
Inn now also serves mead and wine.
Donations to clergy no longer reflect noble families. The clergy simply expects the player to donate a calculated amount of valuables over some time.

Noble houses are generated automatically at the start of the game.
Their growth is stimulated automatically outside of the map.

1.12 Planet B Mission

Welcome to our latest update. We serve you some more crisp features with update 1.12, but read for yourself. Summer greetings, Jens & Martin

➊ New Challenge - Saving Planet B
We have a special challenge for you this week, a new planet to basically explore the idea for a new game mode in Imagine Earth. Would be happy if you feel like thinking with us about how we can make this more interesting.

The basic idea is that the players don't have to build up a civilization first, but find a relatively heavily built-up planet with cities. So you become directly the rebuilder and improver of the world, which is an exciting challengel. The emissions balance is also already tipping into the negative, so climate change is imminent. So you have to consider with all expansion steps to compensate the additional emissions of the new buildings and additional supply buildings with reforestation and other methods.
In return, you'll find plenty of infrastructure and technology on the planet that you can take over and optimize through strategic realignment.
As I said, we're testing this out and seeing that we need to balance planets in this game mode to make it fun and challenging.

➋ New construction ring
An amazingly simple, yet effective change. The build ring just got bigger and now includes all the available build options plus the tools, functions and inventory. We studied other simulation games and their gamepad controls to come to this conclusion. As a result, the building ring is now also much more distinct from the building options and the individual building categories.

➌ Hitech building in technology panel
This move was only logical since we put the Hitech special buildings for terraforming and geoengineering into one category in the build menu, making them so much more available, look in the technology panel for better what a wide variety of build options, Imagine Earth offers.

➍ The Takeover Panel
We have also redesigned this to make the acquisition of competing cities clearer. With the necessary majority of shares in a corporation, you can directly take over individual cities and bring them under your control.

➎ Population free areas on the planet
When we built the above planet B, we wanted to enable the scenario of finding more cities or soon maybe slums on the planet that could be taken over and transformed in an efficiency and environmentally friendly way. To do this, we first had to create the condition that even in areas not controlled by factions, people live in the cities and are supplied by farms and power plants in the surrounding area.

➏ Gamepad - Major changes
---• We have once again intensively rethought and optimized the gamepad controls for Imagine Earth. It should be almost more dynamic to control than with the mouse, give it a try.
---• [Digitalpad controls the main UI elements: Tree menu, resources, building list, trader menu.
---• [Left shoulder: research, tech, stocks
---• [Right shoulder: city navigation
---• Select & Start: Navigation, game menu, journal, statistics
---• Therefore no more additional menüring
---• Significantly more overlays directly in the UI

➐ More optimizations and fixes
---• Dialogs no longer overlay pause screens and other panels that pause the game.
---• Improved Storytelling - First entry in planetary journal reports that no story has yet taken place on untouched planets.
---• Bora Mission - Added direct rebuild target for city centers.
---• Unintended city placement basically disabled.
---• Jump to cities - buildings no longer appear with delay
---• Midras merchant, permanent icon is out of the game
