Version 1.1e

Note: Apex Faction means any of the following factions: Beastmen, Witches or Bloodsuckers

Change #1
===
If you have fought an Apex Faction recently (within 15 battles), their spawn chances are significantly reduced, such that the other factions are more likely to spawn. If you have fought all 3 factions within 15 battles, then they each will have equal spawn chance during the next encounter.

Example: If you encounter Beastmen, then Witches/Bloodsuckers will have a higher spawn chance. Afterwards, if you encounter Witches, Bloodsuckers will have the highest spawn chance. Once you encounter Bloodsuckers, all 3 factions are equally likely to spawn.

Note: Bait Items ignore these logic changes, and the corresponding faction will still be allowed to spawn consecutively


Change #1
===
After defeating any Apex Lair Boss, the drop rate of that Lair's Map is permanently reduced, such that the other faction's Lair Maps are more likely to drop next time. This DOES NOT prevent Lair Maps from dropping, and if all 3 faction Lairs have been completed, they will have equal drop chances.

Note: Bait Items ignore these logic changes, and the corresponding map will still be allowed to drop consecutively

Change #2
===
If using Bait Items, Lair Maps for the corresponding faction are also increased

Example: If using Alluring Blood (Bloodsucker Bait), you're significantly more likely to get Lair Map (Courtier) when delivering Map Scraps



1. Bait Items are now free (before: Cost 10 Baubles)

2. Bait Items no longer expire (before: expired after 1 Inn)


1. Fixed Bloodsuckers not spawning during road encounters in some circumstances

Version 1.1d

1. In Confessions, Bloodsucker enemies will behave the same as their Escalation 3 counterparts.

2. In Confessions, the Hive Battle Modifier will behave the same as in Escalation 3.

3. In Confessions, the Archduke's Hive buff will behave appropriately.



The Cure is no longer guaranteed from Hospitals. Instead, it has the following spawn rates (Confessions/Kingdoms):

If 1 or less Heroes in your party have Crimson Curse:

Region/Escalation 1: 20%
Region/Escalation 2: 33%
Region/Escalation 3: 66%

If 2 Heroes in your party have Crimson Curse:

Region/Escalation 1: 69%
Region/Escalation 2: 71%
Region/Escalation 3: 80%

If 3 or more Heroes in your party have Crimson Curse:

Region/Escalation 1: 100%
Region/Escalation 2: 100%
Region/Escalation 3: 100%

Reason for Change: Makes it less trivial to completely cure the Crimson Curse, but still gives you options in case it spreads too much.

Additionally, in Kingdoms, maxing out an Inn's Physician upgrade will allow it to sell The Cure. The spawn rates are the same as Hospitals


1. Removed visibility of "blank" buff during Bloodsucker road/lair encounters
