Noblesse Oblige v0.14.1.4 "The Shadows Within" Public Release! (Patreon)

Noblesse Oblige: Legacy of the Sorcerer Kings  v0.14.1.3 "The Shadows Within" is now available to the public!

Edit #4: I've updated to v0.14.1.4. This fixes a bug where the cost of Grove Defenders was incorrect.

Get it here! Or on Steam.

 Edit #3: I've updated to v0.14.1.3.

This fixes a rare potential crash related to Freeze effects as well as fixing some passability issues in Avalonia.

Edit 2: Updated to v0.14.1.2 to make a few fixes, notably:

- Fixed a crash in the sanctum after accepting Eris's deal

- Added a save point before deciding whether to accept Eris's offer

- Added a translucent text background to the post-duel textual scene

- Various other minor bugfixes and typos.

Edit: Updated to v0.14.1.1. This corrects an issue with shop unique items and an issue where Story Mode would not be deactivated if used during a unique dungeon. If you have a save stuck in story mode, feel free to comment with a link to it or come to the discord and I can fix it.

v0.14.1.0 "The Shadows Within" Patch Notes (1-31-2025)

• 104k(!) words of content.

• Significant new section of the story.

• New partial Castle Kharos iteration.

• New combat sections.

• Major optional side section for some routes (those with Somnus who kept Tychus for interrogation).

• Five new achievements for those playing on Steam.

• New level up skills available for several party members!

• Three new loyalty skills (Ariadne 75, Ligaea 75, Somnus 50).

• One new throne room scene (Cynthia).

• New Ariadne art! Ariadne's outfit has been redone by Mimo! I'm very happy with the results of this. A patch to use the old outfit may be added in the menu at a later time.
  

• New bust art cut-ins for "ultimate" skills such as Wildfire and Power Shot! (Can be turned off in the System Menu if desired).
  
  

• Door customization for the doors in the throne room at Castle Kharos have been added!
  
  

• Graphical rework of Avalonia! This includes redone mapping and a new Alcinian Sanctum in Avalonia. Several other early game maps have also been improved!

= Balance Changes

• Adjusted the damage of Ariadne's Burning to scale less strongly with level.

• Adjusted Wildfire damage to be reduced slightly more by mdf.

• Lorena's Swift Slash now deals more damage and will have a guaranteed follow-up during Holy Avenger.

•  Swift Slash becomes Chilling Slash under Radiance, which deals less damage but now has a higher Skill rate. Chilling Slash will be learned on the version transition, or on fighting one battle.

• Howling Slash's follow-up now hits the main target if facing a single enemy.

= UI Improvements

• Expanded skill selection box and reworked party UI in battle. Character's expression changes from buffs or low HP should now more visible.

• Added a turn counter to combat.

• Added icons and colored text to passive effects to improve readability.

• Sir Leonidas and the honor guard now have custom sprites if the proposal "Elite Honor Guard" was invested in and completed.

• Added a KOed sprite for Lorena, used during the first two meetings.
  

= Bugfixes

• Corrected the description of Unrelenting to properly indicate that it restores 30 TP rather than 40 TP.

• Fixed a bug that caused enemies who attack multiple times a turn to do nothing when affected by Enthrall or Beguile.

• Added a fallback to autosave to prevent the game from hanging on a failure to autosave correctly.

• Barrage or other instant skills no longer consume Ligaea's Confidence.

• Echo of Light and other instant skills no longer consume Calysia's Full Moon.

• Howling Slash's cooldown is now 3 rounds as per the description (was 4).

•  Potions are no longer incorrectly classified as Key Items, no matter how much you hoard them. =P

• Various typo reports and fixes to old content (thanks to everyone who reported).
