Divine In(ter)vention

Version 1.1 of Southfury Banks is mainly focused on improving the general game flow and the accessibility of the unit upgrade system.

In addition to a number of smaller interface improvements and an (extended) game preparation phase, a cinematic introduction was added to briefly summarize the background story, show all important locations, and clarify the victory conditions.

Major Changes:

• Added cinematic introduction.
• All possible upgrades for a unit and the required tomes are now visible at all times. Upgrades, whose requirements are not met are grayed out.
• Added game preparation phase: 30 second countdown during which players can look around the entire map freely. After 30 seconds, player units are spawned, the camera is locked to each player’s unit, and the game begins.
• Added a respawn timer to the GUI, indicating the time until a player unit respawns after being killed.
• Added a kill / death ratio to the GUI, indicating how many opponents a player killed and how many times he has died.
• Added a player statistics overview, showing a player’s faction, name, kills, and deaths at the end of each game.
• Increased respawn time for player units to 10 seconds.
• Reduced time to capture a flag from 2 minutes to 1 minute.
• Book vendors no longer have health and mana regeneration auras. Instead, they now sell one-time health and mana regeneration for 250 gold.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Alliance Arcanist and Horde Witch Doctor from being interrupted while summoning.
• Fixed a bug that occurred when more than one player were assaulting the same flag.
