Hampstead, NC, 06 July 2006
In the eternal struggle between good and evil, between light and darkness, between Star
Trek and Star Wars, sometimes the gods see that the careful balance has not been
maintained, or perhaps mistakes have been made. In these cases what is wrong is righted,
whether through a celestial messenger, a powerful artifact of legend, or the continuing
downward spiral of both series into faded oblivion. In the case of a computer game
though corrections are slightly easier to make, coming in the form of patches. So please
welcome the version 1.20 patch for Land of Legends! We'll provide the file, you'll have
to provide your own triumphant music and ray of pure light shining down from the
heavens.
Developer Tiny Hero Game Studios, the Seattle-based team behind Land of Legends, has
been carefully listening to fans of their game since its release, and so the 1.20 patch does
more than just fix a couple of bugs, it boasts several new features and changes that
gamers will really appreciate. Additionally, the demo has been updated to match the
current state of the full retail game, ensuring that those trying out the game will be able to
fully appreciate what the full game offers. In fact, now demo players can play online!
The full listing of fixes, new features, and changes can be found on the Land of Legends
download page, but here are the highlights:
* (Fixed) Sometimes saves and loads in a campaign mission would change map terrain
types, this has been corrected.
* (Fixed) Online game maps are now properly limited by player levels.
* (Balance Change) Ogre units have had their armor and hit points reduced, while their
cost has gone up slightly.
* (New Feature) 1.20 demo players can play online, and missions completed in version
1.20 of the demo will be marked as completed when the full version is purchased.
* (New Feature) In the online lobby folks can now see which players are currently in a
game.
* (Change) Number pad is now supported.
* (New Maps) Two new skirmish/multiplayer maps.
* And much more... This is a major patch!
