Age of Darkness: Final Stand is a real-time strategy (RTS) game set in a dark fantasy world. You must build your defenses against hordes of enemies known as “Nightmares.” The game also uses a technology called “SwarmTech” that can render over 70,000 AI units on screen at any time.
Recently, developer PlaySide Games launched Patch v0.4.1, which adds quality-of-life changes to the Siege Catapult. Certain aspects of the catapult have been improved, including its reload animation and projectile speed. A visual that shows you the range of the said unit has been added as well.
Some fixes for the Siege Catapult have been implemented too. For instance, the issue where it can be moved in Siege mode after auto-attacking has been resolved. Moreover, you can no longer research the Siege Catapult if you don’t have the Stone Keep upgrade first.
Anyway, Hardships are modifiers that can make the game even more challenging. That said, the Custom Hardship UI has been updated and is now more dynamic. You’ll notice that hovering your mouse over Hardship icons now displays a description underneath the bottom row of icons. The developers also left some extra space there that will allow you to add extra Hardships someday.
