Patch 10257 (19.01.22)

Patch 10257 focuses on balance changes and bug fixes across a variety of civilizations with the goal of addressing some of the most critical issues faced by each. As seen in the full list of patch notes below, we’re addressing player feedback related to the Mongol civilization and Fire Lancer unit feeling overpowered, as well as resolving several Delhi Sultanate bugs to ensure the civilization’s distinct mechanics shine through.

We believe Patch 10257 works toward our goal for fair and fun play across skill levels and provides more opportunity to execute at a high level with more of our civilizations. We’ll be keeping an eye out for your response as we continue to fine tune! In the meantime, we’ve already begun to prepare a February patch based on what we’ve seen in the forums and other social channels, as well as our own experiences in-game. Right now, we’re looking into strengthening the Abbasid Dynasty, improving counterplay vs. siege weapons, tuning demolition ships, ensuring elephants and mounted cavalry units no longer attack faster when their animation is cancelled, and a variety of other changes.
