23B:
Did some adjustments to the newer vore formulas:
Escape is slightly less likely at all levels, and considerably less likely at very low health values
Formulas have been adjusted so that early level ups don't affect them as much, and significant stat differences have a more pronounced effect (to have a feel more like the previous system)
Vore odds again decrease as predators fill up with prey (accidentally forgot to include that part)
Stomach damage has tweaked to better keep up as units gain levels (though a level 10 digesting a level 10 will still take longer than a level 1 digesting a level 1)
Fixed some miscellanous rare exceptions. (Including updating the windows versions to come with the Userdata and saves and maps folders instead of creating them when first run (To try to fix a super rare exception that's probably related to permissions))
Fix that running out of mana for a unit can cause buttons in that slot to be disabled for other units instead of correctly resetting when a new unit was selected.
23A:
Fixed the tutorial not loading properly, though it probably would have also been affected by the issue below.
Fixed glitch loading a pure tactical save from a previous version with the summon spell, and fixed an issue with loading a previously saved tactical save throwing an exception during the stats page.
Fixed up some dragonfly sprite issues
23:
Updated the formulas for vore attack / prey escaping, and vore damage. It's certainly possible I may have introduced bugs so let me know.
The short version is vore is easier to do, but escape chances are higher.
For a longer version
Vore now takes into account the size of predator and prey, also the attacker's health percentage has an effect. The defender's strength also plays a minor role in vore defense (will is still the dominant stat)
The Prey escape rate has been increased by a fair amount in most cases. The odds take into account how full the predator is now, and there's a sizeable bonus to escape chance if the prey are bigger than the stomach (such as when dimishment wears off mid-digestion). It now uses 50% will, 16.6% strength, dexterity and endurance each as the stats for escape.
Digestion damage is now more complicated in general, instead of solely based on the stomach stat. Digestion damage decreases as there are more prey in a stomach, and larger prey take more damage (due to more surface area). 25% Voracity and 75% Stomach are the attack stats, and endurance and will are the defense stats. Digestion also does more damage the longer the prey is in the stomach.
Since Harpies were argueably the weakest race, they have recieved the trait Keen reflexes (which pushes them into the upper middle range). I was tempted to use Artful Dodge, but there's already a lot of things using that.
Light weapons (mace / simple bow) now have a small accuracy bonus to make them more interesting.
Fixed a bug where only 1 fleeing unit headed to a town that was no longer theirs would pick a new town each turn, and the rest of the travelers would not update at all for that turn (even ones that were supposed to be heading to that town)
Can now skip the rest of battle during the AI turns if the other empire is a player, any options you check apply to the player's side (surrender, etc.)
Added options to prevent the AI from ever fleeing, and also to allow the AI to hire special mercenaries (It will still be fairly rare)
Added additional sliders to the map generator for finer control (forests, swamps and hilliness)
Fixed bug where if the world generator had to add village paths (like it does if you have a very high water percentage), the pathfinder would still consider those tiles as invalid until you loaded the save again or entered and exited the map editor.
Dragonfly race added as a monster race
Can no longer buy stock weapons for allies to avoid cheesing allies you plan to betray (The AI also didn't really need help on that front, and would probably fight anything you tried to do). Also fixed it so if you buy a village building for an ally, it uses your money and not theirs.
The Unit exchanger now uses less harsh movement rules, rather than setting the mp of both armies to 0. I've tried to end up on a fairly logical system. If an army receives a unit, it will then have the MP of either the transferring army assuming it moved into that square, or the armies current MP, whichever is less. So if an army has 2 MP, is on grass, and receives a unit from an army with 2 mp, the receving army would now have 1 Mp. (The Receving units were assumed to have 2 mp, and moved, and had 1 left, so they effectively slow the army down). If the transferring army had 3 mp and the reciever had 2, then the MP of both armies would be unchanged. This also means that a solo army can split off units without losing mp, so it can be cheesable, but the tradeoff of being less of a hassle is worth it. You still need at least 1 mp for both armies though, even though if one of the armies only transfers it won't be charged. (This is mainly to keep the screen from having to reject moving units and open with only partial functionality)
Spells now count properly as kills (for direct damage hits, not damage over time), properly awarding kill experience, showing up in the unit's kill count, and showing up in the tactical log and at the end of battle.
The player's army will now not retreat when given control for a turn, and the skip rest of battle allows you to choose whether they can retreat (previously they could retreat in single turn mode, but couldn't in skip, or at least I think that's how it worked)
Cleaned up a few oddities in the tactical message log, including making self belly rubs use their own text.
Vagrant paralyzation odds decrease the more times it has paralyzed a single target during the same battle.
Traits that are explicitly removed from a unit by the unit editor will now stay gone, instead of coming back at certain types when the traits are refreshed from race traits (like between versions). Also fixed exiting the world settings screen overwriting units that had been specifically made preds / non preds by adding / removing the prey trait.
The maximum delay on actions has been increased in the options menu as requested as an option for slower pace.
Fixed save create strategic game settings option and export not working correctly on mac.
Fixed monsters getting stuck in allied villages under certain circumstances.
Rags now hide their lower half properly if the clothes vanish on cockvore setting is set.
Fixed a bug where taurus with a belly and an erection were not behaving as intended
Fix for enlarging and then reducing the combat log text would cause the window to be misaligned, also fixed it having text exceed the window height.
Can now edit the relations between any two empires in the cheat menu (For now you can't change the actual relation type, but the relations would update automatically whenever either empire takes a turn (offering peace, declaring war, etc.)
Fixed being able to give negative gold to allies (though I'll admit it was amusing you could make empires mad at you by stealing their gold).
If Diplomacy is on, empires that have allies but have no villages (I.e. are being kept in play by having allies) have their relations quickly fall so that the alliance will be broken after a few turns.
Dragons now display the selicia belly correctly even with a single prey
