Age of Empires: Castle Siege has scored a new patch with a focus on beefing up defense. The patch clocks in at versions 1.11, and mainly focuses on increasing the HP of Age Keeps and some tweaks to a couple of different units. Here's the breakdown of the changes in patch 1.11:
- Increased HP of Age 7 Keep by 20%
- Increased HP of Age 8 Keep by 25%
- Increased HP of Age 9 Keep by 30%
- Duration of caltrops increased from 10s to 60s
- Saladin and Edward have had their damage increased so that they can reliably take out most towers in a single ability use (except for Crossbow Tower Lv6 and the Musket Tower)
- Increased the range of Nikephoros ability by roughly 50%
- Increased movement speed by 25%
- Increased Ram's bonus damage against Gates by 100%
- Increased HP by 20%
- Reduced the range that rams will seek out gates, allowing them to be more reasonable in target selection
- Fixed an issue where John Kourkouas would occasionally crash the app if infantry budged in between him and his intended path.
- Conrad the Elder, once exiting his Siege Tower, will now possess the light pillar that highlights his position in the battle
- Alliance messages older than 90 days will now be discarded from chat
- Fixed an issue where targets being burned by both Tariq's Field of Fire and Nevsky's Scorched Earth would only receive damage from the first ability fired. Now both will apply.
- Fixed an issue where abilities that provided buffs would have inconsistent results when stacked on top of each other
- General improvements to usability, stability, crashes and connection errors
According to the patch notes, this patch represents some modest steps towards more of a focus on defense. The team says it'll be watching closely, and more changes may be coming down the line in future patches.
