Spectate a game, and watch it back
Watch a friend's game live, or replay any finished game from a shareable link. Computer opponents now play under the same fog of war you do. Game engine 40 → 41. In-flight games were migrated automatically.
New
- Watch a friend's game live, if they turn spectating on. Any finished game can also be replayed from a shareable link — scrub through it turn by turn, no account needed.
- Hand a turn to your AI general and read a full account of what they did while you were away.
- Heroes standing on the same tile can pass a magic item from one to another.
Balance
- Computer opponents no longer see armies and cities they have not scouted. They play under the same fog of war you do, which makes them noticeably less able to ambush you with perfect information — and, where they can see a force, they now judge its strength more accurately.
- AI opponents can read and play a dungeon crawl properly instead of guessing at it.
Fixed
- A game with an AI opponent can no longer get permanently stuck waiting on a turn that never comes.
- AI opponents stop wasting turns on moves your game's settings don't allow.
- An AI hero's level-up and skill choice now appears in your log instead of happening invisibly.
