It’s been a week since Primal Fury released and we’re happy to see how much everybody has been enjoying the Content Pack & Update. As you might have seen in the General Discussions the new Leadership Clash has been a bit off a hot topic. We’ve read through the feedback and have come up with a couple of changes to tackle the concerns raised. We’ll be making the following changes to the Leadership Clash: [list] [*] Leadership Clash only applies between Heroes. This means that you can have your Ruler and a Hero in the same stack without penalties. [*] Leadership Clash will now apply to AI Rulers. This applies to any Ruler versus Ruler Combat, in battles against the Independents the effects will be disabled. [*] Hero Acquisition Cooldown. AI Rulers will no longer be able to hire multiple Heroes in the same turn. The duration of the Cooldown will depend on the difficulty of the AI. (Not implemented yet) [/list] It’s important to understand that there’s little time for us to address feedback regarding these changes. We can make changes/tweaks until Thursday 7th End of Day (17.00 CET) so if you have any feedback please give it sooner rather than later.
