Not on PC anymore. Your Gem converters now do something else that scales with Magic and if not, their Magic is set to 0.

Just checked, and it looks like an incorrect language file went out with the English version… all other languages were correct, but the English had a hard-coded 5 in it… just fixing that now

Yay, more cool new toys…

Edit: @sirrian - unclear from text, but does Royal Engineer give the Armour buff before or after summoning? text seems to suggest before, but after would work much better…

For now. Dragon Soul’s third trait sometimes left a ghost troop behind. The trait will be changed back once that issue is solved.

Shouldn’t there be an in-game news page about this, like there was for Slyanimora and Kruarg?

Is there some way of intentionally triggering this “selection” sound, or is it just for when you acquire them or encounter them on a quest?

No Bombots yet but I’ve been having fun with:

Carnex  
Giant Spider  
Draco  
Mechanist w Black Manacles

Lots of Explody, draining, devoring fun 🙂

Not that I’m aware of; I think someone told me at some point that on Console, it plays when you select that troop for a team, but I don’t think it works like that on PC/mobile. Regardless, all the select and spell-cast sounds are now on troop pages in the Database, if you want to hear them.

One thing about bombot, it will take a while to reach mythic, unless people throw a LOT of glory at it (about 13000)
