• UI improvement: the game now gracefully handles weapon-switching while attack tiles are visible onscreen.
• updated the moddable version of the main Together in Battle campaign with scripting fixes from the last month of updates.
• fixed: a change to the game's code intended to let it gracefully handle missing dialogue lines in other contexts had caused it to stop generating missing response lines on the fly during camp.
• fixed: the Reinforcing Spine item was not adding to the target weapon's max uses correctly.
• fixed: selecting a skill and then equipping a new weapon that retained access to the selected skill was not causing the game to update damage and to-hit-chance data reflected in the attack tiles based on the weapon's new stats.
• fixed: selecting a skill and then equipping a new weapon that causes the character to lose access to the selected skill (or the base skill the selected skill depends upon) was not causing the game to deselect the skill and clear its attack tiles.
• fixed: selecting a skill and then unequipping a weapon that grants the base skill the selected skill depends upon was not causing the game to deselect the skill and clear its attack tiles.
• fixed:  the game was using an item's full, base value rather than its modification cost when charging the player for repairs and engravings at the blacksmith.
• fixed:  one of the snow-chasm-transition terrain tiles (snow-chasm3TipTL, to be exact) had incorrect rotation data.
• fixed: the game was not wiping its memory of old characters when starting a New Game Plus (as it was supposed to be), meaning that custom characters recruited in the prior playthrough would not show up again during recruitment.

• fixed in version 1.0.53: human female hairstyle 20 had somehow lost its formatting, causing it to no longer show up.
• fixed in version 1.0.53: the character creator was overwriting character default facial expressions when filling in gaps at the conclusion of character creation.

Hotfix 1.0.52a:

• in version 1.0.52a: rapier-based attacks Thrust and Lunge now have a huge, +75 accuracy buff to provide more counterplay against Dodge tanks.
• in version 1.0.52a: increased the energy cost of Defiant Stance from 2 to 4.
• fixed in version 1.0.52a: because the brother from the brother leader arena event and the inspirational leader from the inspirational leader arena event shared a script ID, and because the brother from the brother leader event was saved as a persistent characters, if the brother leader event happened and then, in a subsequent battle, the inspirational leader event happened, the brother would deliver the death monologue for the inspirational leader in place of the inspirational leader themselves, in turn causing the game to lock up upon completing the battle.
• fixed in version 1.0.52a: there were a couple of remaining cavosphere activity narrations that shadowlings could get which used the descriptor "kick."
• fixed in version 1.0.52a: female human hairstyle 20 was sitting a little bit too high up on the head.

[fixed]

• fixed: character tooltips had begun showing up when mousing over attack tiles in battle, which could obscure important information with certain AOE attacks.
• fixed: character tooltips could be made to show up in the gap between an army winning and the victory/defeat screen popping up, which would then obscure the victory/defeat screen.

[fixed]

For version 1.0.52:

• increased the salary and appetite of cavaliers somewhat to help offset how strong they are.
• reduced the energy gain on the Mant Lancer promotion from 10 to 8.
• the "-arch" promotion variants for the four elemental psy fighter types now gain +20 accuracy on their relevant elemental blast skill instead of an energy cost reduction, making these variants more competitive with the "-kurios" alternative.
• fixed: the boss, assassin, and psy healer would remain immobile in the Snow Leopard League qualifier even if the player entered their area, so long as 9 rounds hadn't elapsed yet.
• fixed: when choosing who to make a buy-out offer for, Ishita Svaamee was using characters' displayed levels instead of their true levels, leading to her oftentimes making offers to buy out early promotes instead of characters who were actually low level.
• fixed: upon winning the battle in the northern stepwell or the smuggler's den battle, the game would progress straight to the calendar screen instead of back to camp.
• fixed: following the revenge quest battle, the player would return back to camp at a normal time instead of late.
• fixed: if the player lost the treasure thicket battle, they would restart it instead of being returned to camp.
• fixed: the Sick camp event could display the wrong character name.
• fixed: clicking an extra time during the introductory dialogue to Battle in the Northern Stepwell, just before the kidnappee is shoved into the water, could result in babble sound effects playing continuously until the end of the dialogue.
• when creating items for a custom campaign, users can now set them to equip in new and arbitrary equipment slots.
• fixed: the Neck equipment slot was missing from documentation (and from auto-completion in the item editor).
• when adding traits to characters for a custom campaign, the game now displays descriptions of the personalities, physical traits, and backgrounds.
• fixed: a previous fix to a different bug broke the physical attribute and background selectors for new unique characters in the character creator.
• fixed: camera bloom was making explanatory text in the character creator's text fields quite difficult to read.

[fixed]

• fixed in version 1.0.51b: some background- and trait-specific camp activities for certain custom characters were still not showing up post-hotfix.
• fixed in version 1.0.51b: portraits for certain generic characters were not loading due to a mistake in the code adding support for custom static generic character portraits.
• fixed in version 1.0.51b: a bug fix from a previous update was causing characters already present among saved characters to not get recruited during battle (most noticeably during the character sibling event in the arena).
• fixed in version 1.0.51b: skills which place multiple holds or create multiple objects at once were granting experience multiple times.
• fixed in version 1.0.51b: skills which place multiple holds or create multiple objects at once were counting multiple times for purposes of how many times the skill had been used in battle.

[fixed]

• added in version 1.0.51a: the game now actively checks non-Golem, non-Spirit custom characters when initiating camp and--if they're missing Practice, Clean, and Talk camp activities--adds them.
• fixed in version 1.0.51a: custom characters were being generated without certain core camp activities available to them.
• fixed in version 1.0.51a: mind controlling an enemy minion during Psy Clash would result in the minion's attack sound effect reverting to a sword slash sound.
• fixed in version 1.0.51a: the epilogue used the word "screenplay" where "stageplay" was appropriate.
• fixed in version 1.0.51a: there was a "the" missing in one line of Malatose's dialogue during her first interrogation ("Getting straight to point now, are we").

[fixed]

For the next update, version 1.0.51:

• increased the availability of battle primers somewhat in the shop to make it easier to catch up underleveled characters.
• increased the range of levels where novice and intermediate battle primers are effective to keep them useful for longer.
• in the shop, intermediate battle primers are now much more likely to appear instead of novice ones once the player enters Gharial League; and once the player enters Snow Leopard League, expert battle primers are now much more likely to appear instead of novice or intermediate ones.
• fixed: the game was playing drowning sound effects when checking environmental damage for destructible objects submerged in water.
• you can now use custom static portraits for generic characters in the character creator!
• you can now manually select skin and hair palettes for generic character portraits in the character creator.
• updated placeholder text in the tags field for the Unit Properties window in the map editor to remove deprecated "Add," text.
• fixed: the character creator was formatting portrait data for generic characters in such a way that their hair layer wasn't being detected upon loading the campaign.
• fixed: the character creator was not saving hair palette or skin palette data for generic characters.
• fixed: the map editor was throwing a null error when trying to create tooltips upon mousing over FromPlayerRoster character stand-ins.

For version 1.0.50q:

• added in version 1.0.50q: the palace guard now has a unique reaction if you tell him your name is Manbir Raksha, Aadavan Haath, or Ajit Haath.
• added in version 1.0.50q: increased the difficulty of the golem attack battle a bit when playing on brutal difficulty.
• fixed in version 1.0.50q: under rare conditions, it was evidently possible for an enemy to take another action even after using a turn-ending skill.
• fixed in version 1.0.50q: the -ARMYNAME- special character wasn't working correctly due to a missing variable in the cloneDialogue() method, leading to every character referring to their team as "my army."
• fixed in version 1.0.50q: when creating a character in the campaign editor's character creator, if a character had neither physical traits nor a life background selected, the game could throw a null error when attempting to fill in those blanks.

[fixed]

For version 1.0.50p:

• fixed in version 1.0.50p: a few of the custom dialogue lines in the custom character maker had incorrect settings attached to them that could make them save in the wrong spots.
• fixed in version 1.0.50p: the game would create log files whenever the player hit the 'L' key when typing in text in the custom character maker.
• fixed in version 1.0.50p: a null error had started occurring when hitting "New Character" right after creating a new campaign in the campaign editor.
• fixed in version 1.0.50p: the engine would suffer a null error if the player used the Recruit script action in OnLoaded dialogue at the start of a battle and then attempted to load that character into the deployment screen.

[fixed]

For version 1.0.50o:

• fixed in version 1.0.50o: some of the unit buttons in the reserve supplies screen (characters 10 through 15) had misaligned mouseover tooltips.
• fixed in version 1.0.50o: if the player chose to undertake an action that would return them to camp late (such as rescuing the blacksmith), any plot event scheduled to occur in camp that evening would be skipped--and not rescheduled.

[fixed]

For version 1.0.50n:

• fixed in version 1.0.50n: when playing on Relaxed difficulty, a script action in Battle in the Print Shop was referencing the wrong coordinates, causing a window to gain passability Closed, thereby preventing characters from shooting through it.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: in Battle in the Print Shop, the central bowmen and guards near the top of the map would not react to enemies entering their move-and-attack range unless Sandesh Andhera had already reached the ledger.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: if Sandesh Andhera reached the table with the ledger in Battle in the Print Shop, the game would replace the wrong table object on the battlefield.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: stripping one specific type of non-aggro AI tag from an aggro group (e.g. Inactive or Passive) via a script action such as RemoveTag would automatically result in every other type of non-aggro AI tag also being stripped from that aggro group.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: one particular grass-chasm variant tile among dozens had incorrect rotation data.
• added in version 1.0.50n: the character creator now lets you set a character's romantic preferences alongside their other traits.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: loading a character in the character creator was not setting the trait pickers to reflect their personality, physical traits, or background.
• fixed in version 1.0.50n: babble dialogue noises could still play on dialogue branches where actual voice acting had been initiated via the PlayDialogue script action, thereby overriding the playback of the VA dialogue.

[fixed]

For version 1.0.50m:

• fixed: the New Campaign button's tooltip in the campaign editor was displaying an outdated file path for where the campaign would be created (saying "Telepath Tourney" instead of "Together in Battle").
• fixed: the invisible button in the campaign editor to edit a campaign's name and description was no longer in the correct location; it is now once again fully covering the area where the campaign's name appears.
• fixed: updating a custom campaign's description did not refresh its description in the campaign list, causing the old description to reappear upon clicking the campaign's name a second time.

[fixed]

Pushed the above as version 1.0.50l.

• fixed: when a character finished acting and their experience bar was animating to full, there was a short window where you could click to select a new character between the experience bar filling up and the level-up screen popping onscreen. This would both interrupt the level-up screen and prevent the actions bar from reappearing.

[fixed]

• fixed: when playing with gamepad controls, in battles where a character left the battlefield via a dialogue option upon moving onto a designated space, the game could throw a null error when checking for interactables adjacent to the now-missing character.
• fixed: when playing with gamepad controls, using "B" to back out of the save game menu mid-battle would inappropriately return gamepad focus to the battlefield instead of to the new turn window.
• fixed: under rare circumstances, when playing with gamepad controls, it was apparently possible for the gamepad cursor to end up with focus in the Actions Bar even after the victory screen came up at the end of battle.
• fixed: gamepad cursor alignment was off on numerous buttons in the reserve supplies screen following its redesign.
• fixed: when playing with gamepad controls, the gamepad cursor was not visible on the victory screen when clicking to continue at the end of battle.
