Patch 1.0.23 (24 September 2018)

This update brings a new multiplayer/skirmish map, Russian and Japanese language support, and more!

"The Wharf" was the very first multiplayer map I built, and it's probably the most divisive one in the game. It's smaller than average and requires 5 victory points instead of 6, and I've received complaints that it doesn't feel strategically rich enough. And I've been frustrated to see The Wharf not live up to its potential, because I like the theme and central gimmick.

So! The Duelling Docks is a new map, and an improvement on the Wharf's formula. This time around there are two ships to duel over, as befits the map's name. The map is larger and has more twisty geography, and also quite a bit more stinky fish strewn about.

Antihero has also gotten Russian and Japanese language support! A Chinese translation is in QA right now and should be appearing very soon.

CHANGES:

New map, "The Duelling Docks"!

Fight for control of two steamships, and heaps of stinky fish.

Japanese and Russian language support

Text rendering improvements

Various tweaks and fixes

Hello All!

Patch 1.0.6 (13 October 2017)

This patch brings 6 new languages to Antihero. You can now play the game in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese!
CHANGES:

(Balance) "The Wharf" and "Big City" maps: additional scouted tiles near starting locations. (You're guaranteed to be able to scout your starting Trading House in a single action.)

(Balance) "Palace" and "Big City" maps: add henchmen near starting locations. (You'll always have a Gang attack target on turn 1.)

(UI) Multi-language support

(UI) Show number of remaining bribes in the Upgrade screen

(UI) Dozens of small UI improvements, tweaks, and fixes

(Fix-hopefully!) A handful of players have reported the game's visuals will occasionally freeze while audio continues playing. I haven't been able to reproduce this, but I've added some code that hopefully mitigates it...

This update also includes some behind the scenes work to prepare for some future content and releases but nothing that will impact your games.

Patch 1.0.5 (18 August 2017)

(Game) When a Thug is selected, clicking on the Thug or his tile will bring up the "Guard Tile" prompt, allowing you to guard the tile that the Thug spawned on.

(Controls) "Right-click for Actions" control option. When this is enabled, left-clicks will select characters (and show building info), and right-clicks will perform actions.

(UI) Live Match chat can be muted.

(UI) When Live Match chat entry is open, all chat history - that will fit onscreen - is visible.

(UI) Casual Matches list: invite matches now have a little "handshake" badge to differentiate them from automatches.

(Fix) Fixed a griefing exploit in Live Match.

Patch 1.0.4 (04 August 2017)

(Balance) Masquerade - initial Henchman starting locations have been moved to make Gangs less vulnerable in the early game.

(Fix) Live Match - winning "The Wharf" with a Cargo victory point no longer results in an error.

(Fix) Fix a rare login error that could occur on slow connections.

(Fix) Enemy Business info panels no longer display the number of infiltrated Urchins if the Business is unscouted.

(UI) On super-widescreen displays, the Casual Matches list no longer overlaps the matchmaking buttons.

(UI) Infiltration notifications are no longer blurry.

(UI) Biscuits are no longer from space.
Patch 1.0.3 (31 July 2017)

(Balance) Units can now move through their own guild house. This makes it easier to escape when an opponent tries to box you in with their thugs.

(Balance) Traps in Guard Towers and The Palace get removed when the Palace is burgled.

(Leaderboards) "Skill" leaderboards are now available for Casual and Live Match modes. The Skill leaderboards show your matchmaking rank value. We use a TrueSkill-like system for calculating player skill. Skill is not directly related to your number of wins - a player with a high number of both wins and losses may have a lower skill ranking than another player with a lower number of wins but very few losses. (The server has been calculating player skill since the game launched, so the skill values you see today account for all match history.)

(UI) "Transparent Buildings" hotkey. While this key is held, buildings become transparent, making it easier to see where your opponent has scouted. (You'll need to add a keybinding in the Keyboard Controls dialog.)

(UI) Clicking on an unscouted tile that you can't reach will show you the tiles you need to scout to get there, in grey.

(Fix) "-", "^", and "\" can now be typed in Live Mode chat

Several other minor UI tweaks and bugfixes

Patch 1.0.2 (24 July 2017)

Hotkeys! Antihero remains a very mouse-driven game, so hotkeys are entirely optional.

'Mute Audio in Background' option. (This is on by default, but we had some requests to leave audio unmuted when the app is backgrounded.)

Fixed a Gang animation glitch

Various minor bugfixes
Patch 1.0.1 (17 July 2017)

You can now skip turn-ending animations with the fast-forward button

Exiting a singleplayer game while your opponent is making their winning move will no longer trap you in purgatory, forcing you to watch your defeat over and over and over. Once you see the Victory or Defeat screen, your autosave will be removed.

Fixed several rare "Misfortune!" errors related to app launching, saved settings, and adding turn commands while the turn is already ending

It's possible there's another Secret Code out there somewhere
