Note: Previous save games are NOT compatible with this version and will be lost when installing. Bug Fixes: * Fixed a rare bug where you were not able to offer to sign a warrior to a contract at the end of the first contract you signed them to * Fixed a problem where the end of the last fight screen of the season appeared at the first fight of the next season if you failed to qualify for the playoffs * Corrected a bug that assigns a different warrior to a slot other than the one you picked in the Academy Draft * Fixed a glitch when loading a game where the first enchantment choice description wasn't filled in after loading * All "Error 9" and music-related crashes should now be resolved for those who had trouble with the game before * Fixed a bug that was introduced in 1.5 where the game crashed if you bought an enchantment and you did not have a Primary warrior selected * Fixed improper calculation where career kills were factored into the playoff tie calculation instead of current season kills * Corrected the Pre-Arena screen to display the warrior's current season record instead of their career record * Fixed a display glitch for Master Training that displayed the bonuses in the incorrect column * Auctions have been fixed to properly take into account only the warrior's base stats, not ones inflated from spells or potions * Also fixed auctions where a warrior with very high stats will not prolong an auction into a seemingly endless loop * Corrected a problem with stat enhancing enchantments that may cause them to keep adding their bonus to the warrior's stats over and over again Tweaks/Enhancements: * Toned down the effects and speed of season fatigue slightly so that warriors can fight in more matches and have better chances to qualify for the playoffs * Going to 0 Gold at the start of a turn now ends the game in bankruptcy * Eliminated the Exit Arena button after a fight is complete, it now pops up the match simulation screen automatically after a few seconds, saving a click and speeding up the game a bit * Slightly improved the chances of training being successful and added a cumulative counter that increases the chance of a stat going up the longer it is worked on without going up * Saved games are NO LONGER deleted when loading them. Keep in mind you only have 3 saved game slots, so if all are filled, you must delete one of your saved games to save a new manager. * Created new icons for the match-up screen underneath your next opponent to make the look visually more attractive and consistent with other screens that use icons * Tweaked aging curve to be a little more unpredictable and to drop off a bit more with ages past 50 or so New Features: * QUESTS - Added the training alternative where you can send a warrior on a quest to explore a faraway dangerous territory, at the risk of possible injury or death, for stat increases and gold * BRIBERY - You now may have the option of bribing your next opponent to go easier against your fighter in the upcoming match; possibility and amount based on the opponent's Intangibles and stats * PLAYOFF DISPLAY - You now can watch the progression of the playoffs, even if one of your warriors does not qualify * NEW - Added 10 new enchantments * BOX SCORE - The game now displays a stat box after each match that gives details about the match; Number of attacks, successful hits, hit percentage, average damage and more.
