Paranoid Interactive finally launched Update v1.2 for the Norse colony sim Frozenheim after several weeks of playtesting. This patch features a complete rework of the AI logic, meaning players might have a more challenging time dealing with enemies now than before.
Frozenheim’s Update v1.2 also includes other new features, such as the ability to auto-attack enemy buildings within range and militia support for AI. The latter means that the AI will now readily turn their lowly villagers into battle-ready peasant militia when the need arises.
This patch implements a few nerfs as well. First, the Battering Ram’s HP is reduced from 1,100 to 900. Second, archer damage is decreased to 35, likely as a measure to lower their insanely high potential to turn the tide of battle because players can recruit them early on. And third, the damage done by the Battering Ram is reduced considerably by 200 points and is now set at 600 (from 800 previously).
