Hotfix v0.7.1 for the brutal real-time strategy game Age of Darkness: Final Stand is now available. Although this is only a minor patch, it is quite welcome due to the quality-of-life improvements it brings.
The Watchtower was added to Age of Darkness: Final Stand as a means of helping players know the location of the next “Death Night” wave so that they can prepare accordingly. In Hotfix v0.7.1, this structure has new functionality that indicates the direction of the closest unrevealed Point of Interest (POI) regardless of distance. This happens in between Death Nights.
A Point of Interest in Age of Darkness: Final Stand is an area rich in resources. Players can capture this by defeating enemies called Nightmares that guard the area. Claiming a POI is vital to the players’ survival, especially for those who need more resources to complete structures, train units, and purchase upgrades.
