1.1.2 Patch Notes

Official Announcements
#61

I love the mercenary changes, now as I have complained the mercenary can win if their target gets exed by prince. Something mercenary has no control over. I mean since the mercenary won’t be committing sepoku as much the mercenary would be playing with their targets faction, and if the target is scum the BD will kill the merc. So this would prevent Merc’s from outing themselves and their targets. Good stuff overall!

Maid changes are good, especially for apostle it is so common for a mystic to get converted to apostle and puts some fear in the BD to whisper. So cult games I think the whispering will decline overall even more because apostle could start with starting cult.

Sorc circle before N3 is nice because it will prevent the prince meta due to sorcs are going to sacrifice themeselves to circle the prince N1 and take out all the healers.

Marshal having snoop is not bad. After all snoop is an investigative ability and the marshal class does not have a limited ability so I think it would fit in nice. Love the new patch keep up the great work!

Okay but it shouldn’t be poss, because that prevents Poss from jumping

#63

Why would it?

#64

Yeah I think I’m kinda in the same boat. Not that I have a better idea on how to do Merc without weakening Prince.

#65

Well unless Merc can still win with Poss after Poss jumps

Just make merc die if his contact dies, but keep the new win condition. I don’t think there is a big issue with improving merc win rate, and winning with faction is a very nice buff.

The only positive I can think of with the merc as is, is it’s a decent NK claim. However as prince if I have a merc out himself late, I’m probably killing him immediately.

I’m curious to know what it is that prompted another Merc buff and can’t imagine it being anything other than popular demand. During yesterday’s tournament rounds Merc had a 64% winrate which was the highest out of every other class. With this latest patch, he no longer suicides and shares his contract’s win condition, which only makes it logical to assume he will become even more powerful these coming days. Did anyone actually think he was underperforming?

With what I consider to now be the strongest class’ (That is, the Merc) faction being completely RNG based, and based on my own personal experience playing this game, the outcome of each match is starting to become more and more coin-flip. Even what is arguably considered to be the second strongest’s (King) alignment has been approaching a similar 50/50 toss up with its recent reworks.

I can’t understand how people can complain about Prince/King metas as if they were somehow game-breaking, while at the same time having a player who counts as two bodies, speaks and votes for two, forces the court’s vote, is death immune for the better part of the game (Assuming the contract isn’t already death immune to begin with), prevents visiting - so you couldn’t determine their allegiance even if you tried -and not only that, in the off-chance an already disheartened Sheriff decides to test the RNG gods and visit, can kill him for it. Whichever weak points the Mercenary initially had have now been removed this latest patch. None of these changes seem to be keeping up with the theme of a game called Throne of Lies when the most powerful role in the game isn’t even a member of the court.

The deciding factor in my games as of late has been the King and Merc’s starting factions neither of which can actually be investigated, just Yolo exed/poisoned by some rogue player who’s smart/dumb enough to not care about the consequences.

I can already imagine a BD merc contract being defiled as assassin making merc think he has to side with the unseen xD

#69

wouldn’t merc know he was defiled as the contract would tell the merc they were converted…?

#70

Only in the magical land where mercenary contracts actually corporate with their mercenary. Also mercenary is no longer confirmable in any real sense for the target, so it is difficult to trust whoever claims to be your mercenary.

Not really. Contracts typically won’t tell if they’re converted or even their real role if they’re evil to their mercenary for fear that either a Noble is spying on or in the event that their Mercenary is actually a Mystic.

Be creative as in a princess flirting

#78

To be fair I’m usually able to get a claim out of my target as scorned this way.

#79

Wait you can do that?

Then you do

“I’m a assassin protect me”

Then you like HEY MYSTIC HERE I JUST WHISPERSD TO THIS GUY CLimed asssassin

#80

What? No. You just use that to tailor your accusation.

For example it’s better to claim a noble or mystic is converted while you can directly accuse a knight or CW.
