Nordhold: Origins News

Due to a critical bug, we unfortunately have to roll back to the last version and are already working hard to fix the new critical bug (savegame related). We apologize for the trouble and will deliver another hotfix as soon as possible within 24 hours, which will bring back the changes of 0.5.7.12.

Thanks for the bug reports and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hotfixes:

• Castle Upgrades: Economy Budget and Tax Burden sorted as before (First Tax Burden again)
  
• Fixed a bug where Endless Mode is also incorrectly offered when Wave 20 is lost
  
• Bug fixed where the information at the bottom of the screen that a tower construction can be canceled by right-clicking remains
  
• Bug solved where the spawned minions spawn with a time delay in case of lags
  

Further Improvements:

• Purchased relics in the market are now more clearly recognizable as purchased
  
• Save game stability increased
  
• Optimized position of the saving symbol when saving the game
  
• Performance optimizations
  

It's really incredible how many people have already celebrated successes in our new mini-endless mode. More than 1500 players have completed at least Wave 21 and it's worth highlighting: This mode is for the pros, the heavy hitters. Hats off!

Your feedback has helped us a lot in identifying further bugs and optimizations.

We hope this makes the game more fun (especially the better performance)!

Wave 29 has been reinforced following WinWing's unbelievable triumph over what we thought was unbeatable. We didn’t believe anyone could make it through – until now! Prepare yourself for an even more intense battle in the next defense!

WinWing has been immortalized in our Hero Database, and now the top 10 players have a chance to stand beside him! Send us a screenshot of your rank on Discord, and we’ll ensure your legacy lives on in-game as a Hero name.

Hotfixes:

• Problem solved that chests/banner events contained mismatched banners (as a result, chests can only be opened in the economy phase)
  
• Wave 29 reinforced
  

Further Improvements:

• Boss relic chests now contain 2 relics instead of 1
  
• Oath of Bones (legendary Relic): Counter added
  
• Elite monsters no longer spawn regularly in boss waves (elite chance = 0%) - elite monsters can still be spawned in the boss wave voluntarily through hero selection / oracle selection (as additive increase in opportunities)
  
• Bugs in the visualization of the new elevation highlights solved
