Hi folks! As the holiday season unfolds, I wish you all joy, warmth, and epic adventures! I’ll be taking a short vacation to recharge, but rest assured, work on the 3rd major update for Erannorth Renaissance will resume shortly after. In the meantime, enjoy today’s patch! It lays the groundwork for things to come and addresses a few pesky bugs. You can read more details below: [h2] Patch Notes - 17/12/24 # 0.6.02 [/h2] [b] Bugfixes [/b] [list] [*] Fixed an issue with Teleport Move actions not working when they had an AP cost. [*] Fixed an issue where replacing unstackable effects would partially replace the old effect, causing duplicate icons to appear in the initiative order portrait and actor details panel. [*] Fixed an issue with pathfinding allowing movement through blocking tiles when the movement range was increased due to passive bonuses. [*] Tags on non-companion/non-random NPCs weren’t properly saved. This didn’t have any adverse effects previously, as they weren’t used before, but they are now. [*] Fixed an issue where Resist and Resistance effects displayed a blank icon when used with the Caster or Adjacent keywords. [*] Fixed a potential exception issue on the world map when a hostile band was in range but unable to move to a tile near the player. [/list] [b] Misc improvements [/b] [list] [*] Actors now follow the shortest tile-based path instead of moving in a straight line, making movement feel smoother. [*] Move actions now support the "Caster" keyword. [*] Composite keywords like Dispel, Resist, Resistance, etc., now also support the "Caster" keyword. [*] In Character Creation: Added arrows to cycle through the Species and Heritage options more quickly. [*] In the Perks Editor: Added a filtering field.

[*] Tweaked various codex entries for species and heritage lore.
