    Yeah, the bad guy mode will hopefully be an iap $update sometime!

    If you beat at least arena round 2 before dying, you'll get a common rune. Arena round 12 gets an epic rune. I don't know, but I imagine Legendary rune can't be too far off, eh?

    Edit: "Reached Round 14!" gave a Legendary rune. :)
    [level 17 I got a Legendary Shield, so I think runes are just likely, but random item]

    Wave 41 and Wave 48 are defend & siege, so new easy leveling xp spots... play 48 slowly the first time through though, as the new spider (with the typo'ed name!) doesn't come out for a long time (assuming you want all the enemies described in your bestiary).

    Big boost for Dwarf including all "siege" units now on the 25% skill discount. My Dwarf's new favorite enemy distractor is Plainsman (and the graphic glitch is gone, too!).

    Great game!

    Love the new Arena mode :) No mana regen makes it quite hard but it makes sense.

    Got to round twenty and received a legendary rune, I'd bet legendaries appear ~15 or so?

    "Reached Round 14!" gave a Legendary rune. :)
    reached 12 was only Epic
    level 17 I got a Legendary Shield, so I think runes are just likely, but random item
    level 19 I got Legendary Dwarven Armor, fighting with an Elf Hero

    so level 13 is worth a test, but 14 seems golden!

    I've now made it as high as Round 24... I've never seen a Legendary missing a Perk, so these are decent prizes!

    I remembered to die after reaching 13... It's the first Legendary, FYI.

    Anybody run into a bug where none of their heroes are regenerating mana? I basically had to stop playing the game outside of low level History grinding because none of my heroes can regen mana so I am stuck with only the mana I start with at the beginning of each mission. This appears to have persisted for me for about a month or two now across multiple patch updates.

    It's about time, can't wait to play with you all. Can anybody else confirm that mana isn't regenerating in arena mode? Is it refilled between rounds? Or now just a finite resource? Does this nerf apply in arena mode only or is it present across all areas of gameplay?!?!
     
  9. It's gotten real quiet over there in North Carolina... too quiet... I do know they said somewhere, can't remember where, they're working on 2 games, releasing info soon, yada yada.

    Arena Mode: Guys, did you all read the prompt when you first started it? No Mana Regen. Part of the challenge.

    Not sure if you are reading patch notes, but the first major update changed so that mana doesnt regen if you have an duration-based skill active.

    Specifically in the new Arena mode, mana doesn't regenerate during a round, but replenishes between each round. Your health is a finite resource and never replenishes at all. That's the tough thing you need to manage.

    Having fun with the new Waves so far.

    this game is awesome, can't wait for the android update for arena mode and cross platform that works. did something change with the servers? had a few games with a friend last night with consistent 130 ping (in california) instead of 140-280 like normal.

    hopefully the game gets androidtv support soon so I can play it on the nvidia shield TV!

    I didn't pick up this skills previously as I am often having too much golds and I normally use elf units.

    So now "siege" units are included? What are all the 'siege' units? Siege archer and plainsman has "siege units' in their descriptions.

    iOS v1.2 nicely fixed for "siege units" discount

    I've tried to include normal vs discounted pics, but iirc (max 25%) discount, v1.2, is for...
    all gunpowder users: blunderbuss, forge master, rifleman
    all siege units: siege archer, dreadnaught, plainsman, rhino
    all siege machines: canon, catapult

    The elephant has somewhat siege-like behavior, but isn't a siege unit.

    Note that the discount applies even in scenarios where no "siege" is possible (pure defense, or skirmish). Some siege units, like Dreadnaughts, are especially effective in non-siege battle (ie not obsessed with running to the enemy castle)... they don't have AP, so using the Dwarf skill Runic Curse makes them potentially awesome.

    Thanks for the reply, I actually checked that when the bug first hit my characters (I basically just threw out one shot abilities and watched my regen), but forgot to recheck with non-duration ones afterwards. Lo and behold you are correct and I my regen is working correctly between when I first encountered the bug and now.

    ^_^

    I'm crashing every time I die or surrender only in arena mode. Can anyone else on android confirm the same issue?

    how are you guys receiving rewards? i've gotten nothing and i'm at round 34, i'm guessing its because i'm crashing every time i die? :(

    time to take a break until this gets fixed

    Under your bed
    Any way for there to be set spawn points for enemies in arena, so I won't end every run by getting destroyed with 50 arrows from guys who spawn behind me?
