Defender Chronicles 1.3 (revoked until 1.3.1 is approved)

[gimka]

Issues with 1.3
1. Those upgrading from 1.2.2 may experience constant crash (about 25% chance)
2. You won't be able to access Legend with 1.3

For temporary, we are removing the app from iTunes. The game will not be available for download until the patch is out (1.3.1). The patch has been submitted yesterday (10/05/09).

For those who have downloaded 1.3 and are getting the crash, be assured that your save game is fine and it should work after the patch. So, don't delete if you want to keep it. For those who haven't upgraded yet, just wait for 1.3.1.

Elf Priestess of the Valley of the Snow

New Features
- New map "Helegom"
- New enemy that can attack mages: Banshee
- New system for item grades and ranks based on hero reputation. Powerful items will also require high reputation to wield.
- More tokens from freestyle mode (up to 18 tokens + bonus from morale skill)
- Removed Elf Hut level 2 secret (Elf hut level 2 is unlocked for free now)
- New: Boss Bestiary
- Updated Orc Bestiary to include Banshee
- Some more secrets at the Great Library
- New magical enhancement to improve Resist rating. Resist works similar to Armor but it reduces damage against magical attack, such as the ice attack from Banshee. Armor doesn't reduce damage from magical attack.
- New graphic for double gold star
- Stronghold and new mage hero are now unlocked after Helegom (not after Tarnwood)
- Changes to Mage hero skill (see below)
- Ultimate helm (see below)
- Tahl Asel now does triple damage against golems and requires Reputation of Renowned (5) to wield.
- On Silverkeep, Melwen will be replaced with Archmage, thanks to Closter
- Achievements and Global Leaderboards via Open Feint (see below)
- New options: Vibrate and HQ Graphics
- Enhancements from Berserkers and Rangers now affect Barog and Orrin
- Improved bestiary: bestiary will now show enhancements from items (see below)
- Misc bug fixes

Changes to Mage hero skill
- Sorcery increases attack rating and attack radius.
- Wisdom increases mana points and resist rating.
- Power increases spell power and health points.
- Infantry commander NO CHANGES: it works the same as the General's.
- Bowmen commander NO CHANGES: unlike the General, it'll NOT increase attack radius of Archers and Rangers.
- Mage commander NO CHANGES: unlike the General, it'll increase the attack radius of the mages.

To differentiate the commanding skills of the General and Melwen further, each will instead have a different ultimate artifact (see below).

Ultimate helm
Ultimate helm is acquired by defeating the boss in Helegom. It requires Reputation of Glorious (6) to wield.
It will give different beneficial effects:
1. Equipped by General:
- Allow infantry guild lv.6. Level 6 warriors & berserkers guilds will host 3 units.
- Double the attack rating of all infantry units.
2. Equipped by Melwen:
- Allow spellcaster guild lv.6. Level 6 Mages Guild will host 2 units.
- +100 to resist rating of all spellcaster units.

Improved Bestiary
Both Empire and Orcs bestiaries have been improved.
The Empire bestiary will now show enhancements from items and commander skills. For instance, if you have +Rage to Warriors item, the bestiary will show this. Attack rating boost from infantry commander will also be shown.

Woot, can't wait for the storehouse and other things 

[Demon of Fire]

so this elf priestess is gonna be the one who we see in as the other upgrade when we try to upgrade mage commander? and is she also the one who casts the holy magic that is extra effective on the undead?

[asder]

[Tower_Defender]

Ice Ghoul?  YES!! MY IDEA WON!!!  Thanks Gimka!

[The Jon]

Wait if we switch to the priestess hero, all our skill points such as bowmen, cunning, moral, etc... from the general won't carry over correct? A bit disappointing if it's true lol but still can't wait!

[patryx]

haha.. congrats tower defender..

[Trutheory]

cool...I see some long nights ahead with this app.  Seriously was suprised when I installed on my ipod touch not know what to expect from another TD game, but hey you guys developed a banger!  Thanks!

[Tower_Defender]

haha.. congrats tower defender..

Thanks! 

I can't wait for this patch to be completed and submitted.  So much to look forward to.  Mostly the storage house, the ice ghoul, and the new character .

[Closter]

Make Thal Asel cost 999 token and make it equipable as an accessary instead
