Since then I’ve come across a herd of Goatkin, having a picnic in a lush field. These marvelous creatures seem to have a particular taste for nature. I’ve seen whole Trees being consumed without as much as a drop of sweat. Today’s update, which comes slightly off schedule, aims to tackle some of the feedback we’ve received following the release of Primal Fury and the Wolf Update. Most importantly we’ve decided, after reading through the feedback and looking at what we want from the hero system, to remove the Leadership Clash. We will revisit this later on as part of a bigger look at the roles heroes play in armies and how they develop. May your Pantheons thrive [b]Game Version: 1.006.003.91033[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43512488/4b6dec109d06e23278bc7073608a458d36d8ec60.gif[/img] [list] [*] Removed the Leadership Clash [*] Implemented AI Hero Recruitment Cooldown [list] [*] The cooldown scales based on the difficulty settings for that individual AI.
