Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.7b changelog

Thank you!

When is this update coming across? I just logged into Steam and no updates were available.

On a side note... Whatever happened to new heroes spawning at your capital instead of right next to your sovereign?  

This was a very sneaky update... I had no idea there was an update coming. Great stuff.

Though I was never really satisfied with the playing experience FE:LH gave me, I must express my respect for the extensive support of the game. 

Thanks (i think)

Yah, I was surprised by the update today.. I haven't played it in a month or a year.. (I was upset last about the challenge problems.. aka A.I.) and I've noticed that you guys made the AI harder with 1.7/whatever.. good job! And I do love this game.. when the challenge is tough (right now the A.I. stinks on age of wonders 3.. so congrats on outclassing them on their hard worked projected good game = yes doesn't crash like FE:LH did mostly a few years ago.. but their A.I. is sh*T)

(vs. my previous thread) but all those updates/script changes have made the game crashy and even with 1.7b having tried it the last few minutes still crash's.. (I turned up all my graphics with it) I was noticed however that the crashes for me are related to graphics (at least with 1.7) so I'm turning down my nvidia graphics with 1.7b and hope the crashes go away

Another poster suggested reverting the settings to default.  i deleted the prefs file under C:\Users\<LOGIN NAME>\Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroes and do have to say it along with choosing a smaller map have made a huge difference in stability.  No crash in the game so far today even with the 1.7 GA release.  Prior to this, I couldn't get more than a few rounds with it crashing to desktop or hanging at the end of the turn.  

Yah.. I turned my settings down again.. and she's mostly stable.. so for me whether it was 1.7 or this new 1.7b (which doesn't show in the main menu just says 1.7) but steam says it's installed so "okay"? Something in the settings like I suspect "anti-aliasing" right now.. whatever is turned on.. constantly crashes the game through the setting

I don't get many crashes, but sometimes when there are two many things happening at once (such as multiple towns finishing production, research finishing, timed events triggering) it can hang or stall for a long amount of time.  I tend to play really big maps such as in the XtraDeconstruct mod (13x10 sectors I think) but to counteract that I only have four opponents.  I like to quest around the map, build up my NoXPSplit heroes, and I also use new skills and abilities from XtraDeconstruct.

I like building up my Sov using the Commander skill tree (and the +XP traits), and I use the Armorsmith XtraDeconstruct skill to get one level of armor higher than what I would normally get.  I get all the benefits of the Commander skill tree, plus once I get Chain Armor Proficiency I can wear Plate Armor (and I start with the ability to wear Chain Armor).

I'm wondering, do these crash fixes work for pre-existing 1.7 games?
