Stag
Einherjar was a bit behind their paired Warriors. We forgot to update them when we changed Warrior’s stats.

Units

• Einherjar
      ○ Stats have changed: 60/10/6 -> 70/11/5

Raven
Raven is a good scout, but slowing them down a bit should be better for the game, especially for early rush strategies.

Knowledge

• Rangers
      ○ Scouting speed has been reduced: 50% -> 25%
      ○ Scouts now consume more food: 0% -> 50%

Bear
Bear is our beginner clan if you struggle during winter. We cannot change its identity, but we are trying to give it a direction that should be a clear clan assistant. You can now freely use Borgild and/or Kaija to help your clan. They are no longer needed for your economy.

Clan

• Fame 200
      ○ You gain +3 Fame per enemy unit killed in a zone with Borgild or Kaija.
      ○ Shield Bearer Camp increases zone production by 10%

• Fame 500
      ○ For every 100 Fame you’ve earned, your military units gain +1.5% attack power.
      ○ Kaija can now enter enemy territory

Boar
We all remember the Relic when it was at +10 and it was a forced relic to make. So we don’t want to go back to this. But we are making it more rewarding to build it. There is no more cost to summon, you have full control of the Giant Boar and it can even go outside your territory. We hope that it will give it a small place in some games.

Clan

• Relic: Cost to summon Giant Boar 150 Lore -> No cost
• Fame 200:
      ○ Knowledge given by this fame counts towards blessings

Units

• Giant Boar
      ○ You can control it during combat
      ○ Can go to an uncolonized adjacent zone of your territory
      ○ Stats have changed: 90/11/11 -> 120/16/12

Snake
In our understanding, Snake never mines. That is fine to us, but it is a bit too easy to not do it. So we wanted to delay it a bit. Also, it will be affected by other nerfed lore like Field Ration.

• Scorched Earth will now give less minerals, 3 -> 2

Horse
Horse, Horse, Horse. A lot of changes to try to give it an economic direction without killing its versatility build. We agreed with the fact that chiefs have too much work to do in your territory, so we sped up everything they do. You should be able to do other things with your chiefs now.

Clan

• Ruins and Shipwreck provide -50% -> -25% Krown.

Knowledge

• Ancestral Influence
      ○ Replaces Medecine

• Great Tower
      ○ Upgraded Tower becomes Great Tower, you have 2 free upgrades tower. Upkeep is the same as an upgraded tower.

• Volund Fire
      ○ Increases tools production by 5% -> 7.5%

Units

Warchiefs
      ○ Increases Mining speed, forging speed and building speed by 20% -> 40%
      ○ Building Speed of Etria increased to 30% -> 50%
      ○ Forging Speed of Brok increased to 30% -> 50%

Kraken
We agree with you that Kraken's current growth loop is a bit frustrating. So we sped up the spectral warrior recruitment, making it less punishing to not produce villagers. Also, by investigating the Kraken loop, we saw that Ràn's Blessing spectral’s growth wasn't working properly.

Clan

• We increased the speed of Spectral arrival. They should appear twice as fast.
• Relic - We added a protection to attacks from the sea (Mercenaries, Ghost Event)

Knowledge

• Endless Tides
      ○ Pop growth and Spectral growth increased by 20%

• Ràn's Blessing
      ○ Spectral growth is working correctly, now gives +20%

Units

• Seeress
      ○ Produces +3 -> +3.5 Wyrd
      ○ You can recruit a Valkyrie while being in negative Wyrd

Rat
We understand that keeping your pyres up can be overwhelming, so we are trying to give you more space by giving you a bit more time.

Clan

• Losing a unit gives you 20s -> 30s of purification time
• Earning military experience gives you 25% more purification time

Hounds
We’ve heard that Hounds is in a relatively good place. However, we are not happy with the sustain it has during combat, specifically against players. Also, we want players to choose more carefully which zerkers should be prioritized in terms of level to get lvl3 -> lvl 7. We didn’t change its clearing, but in mass combat you should be more careful about your zerkers.

• Carcass gives 15% more experience; resources given are unchanged
• We have reduced the amount of experience given by kills: 25% -> 20%
• Experience needed to get level 2: 250 -> 225

Turtle
Turtle is a beast when we talk about relationships. It can gain too much fame in a short amount of time. We are nerfing it a bit.

Clan

• The clan earns +30 -> 20 Fame for each positive level of relation with other clans and factions.

Hippogriff
Hippogriff is a monster in mid late game with its Varangian, at least that’s what we wanted, but we didn’t want it to go only Varangian. Varangians should be an elite squad: you convert some and work with other units. So we reduced the camp needed to get some, but we increased the scaling cost of the Varangians.
We didn’t want to touch the “quality” of the units, but make it harder to stack them. So you should be able to make fewer Varangians.

Knowledge

• Ember of Prosperity
      ○ Brazier produces +0.75 -> 0.5 Krown, +1.5 -> 1 during Ignite

Units

• Varangian
      ○ Camp gives more space for them: 2 -> 3
      ○ Their scaling cost has been increased: 60 + (15 * nb) -> 60 + (45 * nb)

Flotsam 1.0 launches with its biggest update ever!

Your floating town is ready for its biggest adventure yet!

After years in Early Access, Flotsam has officially reached Version 1.0, bringing a fully playable main story, new specialists, new regions, building upgrades, and a wide range of improvements across the entire game.

Here’s an in-depth look at what’s new:

Main Narrative Questline (Finish the Game!)

For the first time ever, you can play through Flotsam’s full story from start to finish.

What’s in:

• A complete main questline
• Story progression tied to exploration and old-world discoveries
• A proper ending to your drifters’ journey

Specialist Quests + 4 New Specialists

Every specialist now has their own questline, bringing new buildings, tasks, and small adventures to your floating community.

New specialists added in 1.0:

• Chemist
• Electrician
• Birdkeeper
• Aquaculturist

What’s new in this system:

• Specialist-specific quests
• New buildings tied to each role
• Progression choices through the new Radio Signals system (pick which specialist or quest you pursue)

Two New Regions to Explore

1.0 expands the world with two new biomes, each with its own look, dangers, and resources.

Industry Region

The most polluted area yet, filled with Polluted Goop, Electric Eels, and hazardous waters.

Polluted Woods

A new take on the Woods biome, now split into healthy and polluted sections.

Upgrade System + 10 New Advanced Buildings

Constructions can now be improved with installed upgrades that change how your town functions. (Example: adding an Air Filter to drifter homes to reduce pollution every sleep cycle.)

1.0 also adds 10 new advanced buildings, introducing new resource chains and new pipelines such as:

• Bio-energy pipelines (convert bio-waste into energy)
• Advanced production loops tied to the new regions and specialists

These additions expand mid- and late-game depth significantly.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

We’ve improved dozens of systems based on community feedback, including:

• A reworked School
• Smoother flow for early progression
• Clearer UI and visual feedback
• Performance and stability improvements
• Many small fixes across the entire game

Thank You for Being Part of the Journey

Flotsam’s full release is a huge milestone, and it would not have been possible without everyone who sailed with us during Early Access.

From all of us at Pajama Llama and Stray Fawn Publishing: thank you for helping us bring Flotsam to 1.0.

If you enjoy the update, a review helps the crew a lot.

Now set sail, rescue survivors, and keep your floating town thriving!

Third day, third round of improvements! Boatswain XP is now earned through ship repairs, Shipmaster XP gains have been doubled, and friendly troop banners display correctly. We’ve also added more refinements to the naval storyline, and Xbox players will be able to exit the smithing screen with improved stability. Massive thanks for all your feedback, support, and patience.

War Sails v1.0.3

The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.

Changes

• Added a warning and blocked launching the title if the versions of War Sails and Bannerlord are not compatible. This can occur after a patch release when there is a delay between the downloads.

• Reduced the bow skills of Fian Champions and Khan's Guards. This reduction should have a more pronounced effect on naval combat (War Sails) than on land battles.

Fixes

• Improved lighting for night and overcast atmospheres.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash related to mounts that occurred while saving the game.

• Fixed a crash related to expanded tooltips on the campaign map.

• Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to retreat from an army during a siege.

Patch Notes - WS v1.0.5 / BL v1.3.9

Greetings Warriors of Calradia!

After a short breather, another round of improvements is here!
Continuing with refinements to the naval storyline, added the ability to receive crash dumps for launcher-related issues, and further polishing with bug and crash fixes.

Please note that there may be a delay between the download of the base game and the download of War Sails. If you launch the game prior to both of them being updated, you will crash. If you face this issue, please verify your game files.

Please also note that Console hotfixes arrive with a delay, as their release processes take a bit more time. Releasing to PC without waiting on this process allows us to gather data and feedback more quickly - benefiting all platforms.

War Sails v1.0.5

The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.

Changes

• Updated the “Visit” and “Talk” tooltips to display “Take a walk around the port and find Gunnar to talk to him.” instead of “This feature is disabled.” when the “Speak to Gunnar and Sister” quest is active.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused AI behavior issues during the escape phase of the final storyline quest.

• Fixed a bug that caused troops in the player’s party to lose their experience when entering and exiting the naval storyline.

• Fixed a bug that prevented troops from leaving the oars to use the hooks.

• Fixed a bug that caused ship debris to spawn during the Naval Order of Battle phase.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a save file created immediately after concluding the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest mission.

• Fixed a crash that occurred during land and naval battles related to the physics simulation.


Bannerlord v1.3.9

The following changes are part of the base game and apply to the War Sails expansion as well.

Changes

• Players will now be able to send crash dumps for launcher-related crashes. This should help resolve launch issues sooner.

Fixes

• We included a set of bug fixes that are meant to return your family to you (if you lost them after completing the naval storyline) and prevent them from disappearing in the first place.

--• As family members can be in a number of different states, your experience may vary a bit:

----• Family members like the younger brother and sister are disabled as long as their relevant quests are incomplete. This was already the case and wasn't changed.

----• If your sister was spawned before becoming an adult, this version should despawn her when you load your savegame. She should spawn again upon becoming an adult.

----• If you rescued your younger sister and she is an adult but she wasn't added to your clan, this version should add her to your clan and place her in a fugitive state when you load your savegame.

----• If the adult sister disappeared in prior versions, she should enter fugitive state upon loading the save in 1.3.9 (and newer). If it happened after you made her a governor, she should be immediately spawned and returned to that position.

--• Should another family member be missing (like the younger brother), the same rules apply.

--• Please note that "fugitive state" has a 30% chance to spawn the character daily. So if this applies to your case, the sibling/s should spawn after 3-4 days.

• Fixed a bug that caused the Transfer Troops action not to work correctly.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when the leader of a siege leaves.

Patch Notes 1.11.4 - Fixing creatures failing to spawn

Hey slugcats,

New Patch Alert!

This patch fixes regions in the Watcher campaign sometimes failing to spawn any creatures, fixed tracked key items sometimes respawning in previous shelter, and more.

If you would like to read full patch notes you can read them below!

Patch Notes

• Fixed regions in the Watcher campaign sometimes failing to spawn any creatures depending on how the warp points were interacted with.

• Fixed tracked key items sometimes respawning in the previous shelter that they were stored in, rather than the most recent shelter location.

• Fixed the screen sometimes shaking violently or the screen going black in certain scenarios where lizards interacted badly with sloped terrain.

• Fixed the Passages perk in Expedition mode freezing the game.

• Fixed some information in Expedition mode's menus failing to display on certain consoles.

• Fixed the Jukebox menu in Expedition mode freezing depending on your music settings.

• Fixed a warp point issue with Watcher's final ending that would cause the ending to break if you replayed the ending a second time shortly after the first time playing through that ending. (For players who already are experiencing the glitch in their current save file, this won't retroactively fix it, but hibernating for at least 5 cycles before replaying the ending will also fix that issue in your current save)

• Fixed an additional console-exclusive hardlock that would occur after spawning ripple rifts at higher ripple levels and hibernating in the same region as the rift(s). Or equivalently, warp points crashing if warping into a region that includes those player-spawned ripple rifts.

• Fixed visual glitches that would occur when entering the void sea while in ripple space.

• Fixed the void sea sequences in non-Watcher campaigns breaking in various ways if you were in Jolly Co-op mode and one or more of the characters were playing as The Watcher.

• Fixed a bug that caused the wrong illustration to show on Watcher's statistics screen depending on which installed DLCs were enabled/disabled.

• Improved the lighting interactions with sloped terrain.

• Fixed some memory leaks in the Remix menu.

• Fixed a glitched piece of level geometry in the Sinkhole arena that would instantly kill the player.

• Fixed an incompatibility with the Region Kit mod that would cause the Heat Ducts region to crash the game for players using that mod.

• Updated the speedrun validation strings to include info for cheat configs for Watcher and Remix.

Thanks for reporting these issues to us. If you run into any bugs please report them here!
