Capital Defense — changelog

← back to the main page

v0.6.8 19.08.2026

Paired defence: two players hold the capital together, meet each other in a direct duel every fifth wave, and the duel result counts towards the shared score.
The preparation timer and the state of your opponent are visible right in the capital, next to the garrison.
The duel rating table opens from the main menu: your own place, clear headings and readable winner names.
The duel room moved to a Russian host; the previous server stays as a spare and the game switches over on its own when the main one is unreachable.
Waves: melee fighters no longer land in the back row, late waves are not diluted with goblins, and a boss no longer takes more than half of the wave experience from its retinue.
Fixed crashes and freezes: item dragging, the summon check, a stuck wave start and an empty rating table.

v0.6.7 02.08.2026

The current run can be saved on exit and continued from the main menu. The button shows the wave, race and difficulty, and saves from another patch version are rejected.
The Forge can bless a skill twice per run and ban a skill twice per run. Irreversible choices require confirmation and remain stored with the run.
Scroll and spell summons unlock on waves 1/6/11/16/21. They receive no bonus on waves 1–10, scale to ×1.25 on waves 11–20 and ×1.5 from wave 21; only one summon is allowed per wave.
Only one mercenary may be purchased per run. Unit types already owned by the player no longer appear in the offer.
The front row of a generated wave is reserved for genuine melee fighters instead of ranged units that merely happened to be placed there.
Spell icons in scouting open the full spell card while the right mouse button is held; broken Cyrillic text in the pre-wave magic description is fixed.
Healing potions 25/50/75/100/200 now use a separate independent reward roll and appear in the reward preview.
Forest Walking and Navigation have been removed from hero level-up choices because they have no arena use.
The Forge interface has been rebuilt: round buttons, labels and sockets are aligned, while the bless/ban menu now follows one consistent grid and the game's visual style.
The game starts on Windows 7 and 8.0 again: online features are disabled where the required WebSocket API is unavailable.
Forge preference restoration, safe run continuation order, and the English localization of the new features have been corrected.

v0.6.6 31.07.2026

Reinforcements have finally reached the capital's defenders. Treasurers and alchemists improved early supplies, armouries lowered prices, and outbreaks of unstable magic were contained.
Boss waves now form a distinct 15% strength peak while the neighbouring targets are softer.
Early gold and mana gains are higher. Bosses award 50% more of both resources.
Wave 10 grants 1-3 random permanent +10 potions, wave 29 grants 1-3 +15 potions, and wave 30 grants an Ascension Elixir.
Healing potions 25/50/75/100 and resurrection potions drop about twice as often and are distributed more evenly by tier.
Orbs and talismans cost half as much, learned spells cost 25% less, and the new buildings cost 10% less.
Every effect-potion name now states its duration: [One battle] or [Permanent].
Pre-wave magic can now use curses and debuffs of the appropriate circle. Scouting reshuffles at 40%, with a price that grows by wave.
Generated waves contain slightly more melee fighters.
The eighth rating season is open because the new wave and economy curves are not comparable to 0.6.4/0.6.5. Those results remain on the archive board.
Temporary summons no longer take a share of wave XP away from the permanent squad.
The defeat screen shows the player's real nickname instead of Player.
The Semga branch restores healing under damage/healing buffs.

v0.6.5 30.07.2026

Reinforcements have joined the siege. Mid and late waves are more dangerous, and only the strongest squads will hold the capital.
The middle and final stages of the siege are more dangerous. Near the end, the enemy sends its most hardened warriors.
Boss squads gain more random elemental wards as the run advances.
The enemy keeps growing after the finale, and higher difficulties make the assault intensify faster.
XP from a kill barely depends on the enemy's level now: levelled-up opponents no longer shower you with rewards, so your squad stops racing ahead of the waves.
Bosses no longer grant a guaranteed Ascension Elixir because free full levels bypassed the XP curve.
Forge and sharpening healing bonuses now work correctly, and all 11 acquired Forge skills are displayed.

v0.6.4 27.07.2026

Waves are built from scratch. A wave's roster is picked to hit a target experience value: what the wave is worth is exactly what the player is paid for it. Runs in progress will see a new wave ladder.
A wave always fills the field: two-cell units count as two cells, so no empty slots are left in the formation.
A wave brings no more than three melee fighters, and summoners stay out of a full roster where they would have nowhere to summon.
Every wave has a theme - race, tier, branch - instead of a random mix.
Leftover wave budget goes into an even level bump for the whole wave instead of one overgrown unit.
Wave levels stay close to the player's own squad: early waves no longer arrive overlevelled.
Wave strength comes from its roster, with no external multipliers on top.
Wave placement in battle depends on the run: every seed gets its own row order.
The final wave is no longer overgrown. Per-level stat growth was read past the game's own data, so the generator treated levelling as free and pushed the finale far beyond its own level.
Bosses: every tenth wave is led by a named hero, the strength bonus grows with each decade, and the priciest names are held back for the final wave. A boss never repeats twice in a run, and neighbouring waves do not repeat their rosters.
The boss arrives at the level of its own wave.
Endless waves: strength grows by 10 / 11 / 12 / 13% per wave depending on difficulty, the level continues from the finale of your own ladder, the roster is always full, and any unspent budget goes into damage and health.
Every four endless waves the roster gains a ward against one source, and every eight an immunity.
A full endless field is counted in cells, so a wave can consist of just three large units.
Wave gold follows one even line, while gold and mana vary within 15% and differ from run to run.
The seventh rating season is open: waves have changed, so records from earlier versions moved to the archive board in full. Nothing was deleted, they are still visible.
Squad cards on the rating board show levels correctly.
Mana Forge: four new squad skills. Healing 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30%, between-wave regeneration 3 / 5 / 8 / 12 / 20%, initiative 2 / 3 / 5 / 8 / 12%, accuracy 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6%.
Caps for the new branches: healing 100%, initiative and regeneration 60%, accuracy 20% - the engine clamps accuracy above that anyway.
Wave gold, wave mana and experience now give 3 / 7 / 10 / 13 / 20%.
Forge bonuses apply to both the hero and the garrison, and a skill never repeats inside a card set.
Fusion and sharpening bonuses are visible on the item card itself, sharpened item icons are correct across the whole interface, and fusion bonuses are recalculated after the garrison is re-equipped.
Talismans arrive with ten charges, and the crash on handing out a talisman as a reward is fixed.
The permanent immunity potion costs 6000.
A one-battle potion works again on repeat use: its effect was not fully cleared after the battle, so the next identical potion was wasted.
The ascension elixir no longer depends on buildings.
Armour potion descriptions state the cap: armour never exceeds 85, and at the cap the potion does nothing.
The capital guardian no longer carries the fight for the player.
Griffin and Sky Lord reach has been put right.
Melee is faster, and so is starting a run: the wave ladder is built only for the chosen difficulty.
After a defeat the game returns to the menu only once the map view is really gone.
Modifier-chain corruption is fixed: item metadata no longer enters the chain, and managed modifiers have a single owner.
The broken ent is out of every pool.

v0.6.3 26.07.2026

The patch no longer installs silently over the wrong build: the archive carries a branch marker, and on a mismatch the game states plainly that the patch belongs to another version instead of dying on the splash screen.
The Mana Forge no longer crashes the game when an upgrade card is picked.
The frameless Blade of the Exalted no longer crashes battles — the item is out of the loot pool in both branches.
An armour potion is never wasted: with armour already at the cap the game refuses the drink and the item stays with the player.
The Elixir of Ascension can no longer be used in battle, where it was consumed with a sound and no effect. Levelling still works from the party window.
Spell base damage is capped at 125: the data held values up to 750, and the wave strike multiplied those across the whole party.
Wave strike magic multipliers are cut by another 30%.
Retreating no longer pays experience: the enter-retreat-collect loop is closed.
Level drain and level loss use one shared formula, and the hero keeps their gender.
The Semga branch regains the function every global buff calls, and battle AI target selection is guarded — spells such as Dwarven Forging no longer break combat with script errors.
Slasher MNS: the Lord of the Skies reaches as far as stated, and the number field in the interface is aligned.
Launcher 1.21: hold the mouse button on a donation to read its full text, and squad portraits load instantly instead of flickering.

v0.6.2 25.07.2026

Призыв существ больше не ломает отряд: юнит перестал пропадать из строя после боя, а расстановкой заведует сама игра.
Призванное существо приходит уровнем в полтора раза выше героя, не занимает место в лидерстве и не забирает опыт отряда.
Призыв, оставленный в гарнизоне столицы, больше не остается там навсегда: после боя он исчезает, как и положено временному.
Отказ в призыве объясняет причину: полон отряд, нет свободного ряда для двухклеточного или нет ни одной свободной клетки.
Заточка научилась усиливать опыт отряда и силу критического удара: +2% за ранг. «Книга войны» точится в опыт, «Топор палача» — в крит и собственный урон.
Исправлена подмена характеристик у части предметов: профиль собирался по чужому одноименному скрипту, из-за чего терялись родные бонусы.
Разброс сложности десятой волны сокращен вчетверо: она больше не выпадает то легкой прогулкой, то стеной.
Урон боевой магии на поздних волнах снижен на 30%, а его множитель теперь виден в разведке заранее.
Опыт за волну в разведке считается честнее: учитываются навык мастера оружия и надбавка сложности, а не только карта кузницы.
Загрузка стала заметно быстрее: убран лишний расчет, съедавший около двух секунд на каждом запуске.
Исправлена ошибка «Arena template was not found», из-за которой после проигрыша новый забег не начинался до перезапуска игры.
Описание Алтаря приведено к настоящему шансу благословения — 35%.
Рекорды 0.6.1 и 0.6.2 соревнуются в одной таблице: это один и тот же баланс, новый сезон не открывается.

v0.6.1 24.07.2026

Горн силы: индивидуальные профили для 428 предметов. Заточка усиливает то, что предмет реально дает, и больше не добавляет выдуманных характеристик.
Заточенная вещь везде показывает исходную иконку со значком ранга +1…+10: в сумке, в карточке, в окнах Горна и Портала.
Портал слияния: 10 слотов вместо 7, безопасное создание с откатом при любой ошибке. Сплав можно оставить в городе, пара исходников не теряется.
Сплавы складывают одинаковые свойства и переносят вампиризм, критические и дополнительные атаки, защиты, иммунитеты и сетовые эффекты. Иконка собирается из двух исходных.
Кузница маны: плавная кривая опыта с 1 по 10 уровень, Shift + клик заливает x5, исправлен вылет при закрытии выбора улучшения клавишей Esc.
Алтарь: шанс благословения повышен с 25% до 35%, а само заклинание теперь видно в разведке заранее.
В магазине появилась кнопка обновления товара: 30 золота плюс 5 за каждую волну. Набор гарантированно меняется.
Призыв снова работает: заклинания больше не отказывают сообщением «бесполезно в этом режиме», а для двухклеточного существа выводится понятное требование освободить место.
Призванные существа и одноразовые банки снимаются после боя всегда, включая вылазки, когда герой нападает сам.
Разведка показывает фактический опыт за отряд с учетом надбавки Кузницы, а расстановка волны теперь совпадает с боем, включая двухклеточных юнитов и платную перетасовку.
Банка повышения уровня работает на защитниках города, применяется к выбранному юниту и не тратится впустую после проигрыша.
Важно при обновлении: в 0.6.0 в раздачу попадала лишь часть служебных скриптов заточки, из-за чего бонус мог молча не работать. Теперь состав патча собирается автоматически из данных мода.
Для 0.6.1 открыт отдельный сезон рейтинга: заточка наконец работает у всех, и результаты сравнимы только между собой. История прошлых сезонов сохранена.
Разведка показывает ту же расстановку, что и бой: линии берутся из самой волны, а передняя линия рисуется с той же стороны, что и в сражении.

v0.6.0 23.07.2026

Mercenaries are always offered at level 1, preventing ready-made overlevelled units from bypassing normal progression.
Rune Shield no longer traps the enemy party in permanent Defend and now runs without Lua errors in both MNS and SMNS.
Repeating the same spell within one wave now displays the actual one-per-type limit instead of telling the player to learn it.
The Toasty easter egg now always ends, stops its sound and cannot persist into the main menu or the next run.
Version 0.6.0 starts a separate leaderboard season while preserving all earlier season history.
Bug reports now accept screenshot uploads, available to the owner in the private statistics dashboard.
Forge party damage, armor and HP bonuses now apply correctly in battle in both editions, including existing 0.6.0 saves.
Fusions preserve source immunities, protections, vampirism and set properties; cards now show gained experience and conditional effects.
Fixed the missing Abyss effect Lua error in MNS and SMNS.

v0.5.9 23.07.2026

The Power Forge and Fusion Portal now use normal equipment handling: bonuses apply and clear correctly, work in the capital and battle, and stack with other modifiers.
Sharpened items retain their source icon, display ranks +1 through +10, and immediately refresh a compact description with the effective stats.
Fusion icons are built from both source items; descriptions are shorter, and normal hero skill restrictions now apply.
Armor now has a shared cap of 85. Capital/battle discrepancies and the order of difficulty, capital defense, temporary potions and permanent potions were fixed.
Power Forge and Fusion Portal service placeholders can no longer enter shops or rewards.
Endless damage growth was increased by 50% of the previous wave's bonus.
The leaderboard now checks suspicious progress jumps more strictly; 0.5.9 uses a new season without deleting historical scores.
Fixed the Fusion Portal's purple fringe, composite-icon background and two-banner rendering.

v0.5.8 22.07.2026

Added the Power Forge: selected equipment can be sharpened up to +10. Its original effect stays intact, positive numeric stats scale with rank, and the cost depends on item value and is paid in gold plus racial mana.
Added the Fusion Portal: two items from one compatible group become an equippable fusion carrying both source effects. It occupies one slot; the fee is 15% of their combined value, with a 50-gold minimum.
Fixed the transition into Endless mode: the first post-finale squad continues the final wave's growth instead of falling back to weak level-15 units.
Banners, relics, boots and other equipment are now capped by wave-based quality and value, preventing endgame gear from dropping at the start of a run.
Capital garrison units regenerate after victory under the same rules as the hero squad; the Infirmary now also affects defenders who did not enter the battle.
The Ascension Elixir is no longer consumed on dead or otherwise invalid targets; permanent-bonus duplication that could push damage to 300 was also fixed.
Defend now reduces the complete final hit by exactly 50%, including critical and per-target damage.
The target strength of Impossible wave 70 was reduced from roughly 50,000 to 40,000.
MNS and SMNS pools were separated and cleaned of useless potions, map scrolls, empty spells, the Tactical Retreat perk and broken buildings.
English localization was synchronized with 0.5.8, and the victory screen can now start the next wave immediately.
0.5.8 scores rank above older patches without clearing the table: existing leaderboard records are preserved.

v0.5.7 19.07.2026

Fixed a hard game freeze when closing the scouting window while it showed an incoming strike spell.
Wave 1 no longer brings zero-damage units (e.g. the 235 HP Sacred Tree): early waves are combat units only.

v0.5.6 19.07.2026

New building: Altar of Blessings (800 gold). With the Mage Tower built, a random blessing lands on the hero squad before battle with a 25% chance; blessings grow with waves.
Enemy strikes reworked: spells follow magic circles by wave (1-10 = circle 1 ... 40-49 = circle 5, 50+ mixes circles 4-5 with +1% damage per wave), drawn from your mod branch's own spell pool; bosses cast varied curses.
Scouting shows the incoming strike spell with its icon; wards and immunities properly block strikes.
Scout reshuffle: a third of successful reshuffles move a ranged wave unit to the front line and a melee one to the back.
Lords gained Capital Defense bonuses: Warlord — mercenaries 15% cheaper; Guildmaster — buildings 10% cheaper and +5% gold per wave; Sorcerer King — +1 spell cast per wave and +10% mana.
Arena-dead map spells (fogs etc.) removed from rewards, the spell shop and the merchant.
Useless level-up perks were removed on the Norwegian Salmon branch (rods, roads, sea travel).
Mana Forge buttons now highlight on hover/press, and the level-up button got a label.

v0.5.5 19.07.2026

The Norwegian Semga client was rebuilt on the current clean 1.44a+fix4 base.
Spells are now read from your mod branch's data: curses no longer land on your own squad, and strike damage matches your branch.
Mercenaries: overpowered epic units (Mizrael, Nebiros and others) were removed from the camp.
Arena item icons (potions, scrolls) were restored in the Semga client.
All merchant discounts were reduced to 5% (Lute and hero perks).
Missing item and boss-attack scripts were restored in the Semga client.

v0.5.4 19.07.2026

Срочное исправление: на базе Норвежской Семги при просмотре карточки юнита выскакивала ошибка скрипта (unitEncyclopedia/locationBonus). Теперь карточка открывается корректно.

v0.5.3 19.07.2026

Волны стали легче еще на 20% по всей кривой (суммарно почти вдвое с версии 0.5.1); золото и мана за волны не изменились.
Убран неубиваемый юнит «Ничто» (полная регенерация каждый ход): больше не появляется ни в волнах, ни у наемников (спасибо за репорт: Unikorn).
Убран таймер перед боссом: босс ждет вас сколько угодно, пока вы закупаетесь. Исправлен бой, где столицу защищал гарнизон вместо героя во время покупок в магазине.
Броня столицы теперь честно показывается на панели юнита и вне боя — та же цифра, что действует в бою (по сложности: +30/+20/+10/+0).
Разведка: тексты вражеской ударки очищены от служебных пометок; для лекарей показывается их лечащая атака.

v0.5.2 19.07.2026

Сложность волн снижена на 30% по всей кривой, а награды считаются от прежней кривой — золото и мана не урезаны, прохождение стало честно легче.
Исправлены вылет и зависание после поражения: при падении столицы все фоновые механики мода отключаются, а экран поражения сам возвращает в главное меню через несколько секунд.
Тиры пересмотрены: тир есть только у расовых юнитов столиц с ветками развития; нейтральные юниты вне тир-правил. Исправлены неоправданно сильные лидеры на ранних волнах.
Разведка: карточка вражеской ударки — иконка, название и описание заклинания (ударки начинаются с 12-й волны; на боссах показывается и их проклятие). Лишние служебные тексты убраны.
Дроп щедрее: экипировка с шансом 10% на любой волне (элитные и боссы — как раньше), боевая банка на один ход — 50% каждую волну, свитки заклинаний — каждая вторая волна.
Магазин: постоянная банка появляется на рестоке с шансом 50% (было 25%); из наград убрано «Зелье магической устойчивости».
Превью волн на сайте: карточки юнитов показывают фактический урон с учетом множителя волны.

v0.5.1 18.07.2026

Генератор волн переработан: уровни юнитов растут плавно от первых волн к финалу — первые волны честно слабые (все юниты 1 уровня), финальные отряды — витрина: свита 23+ уровня и легендарные боссы.
Сила волн идет ровной кривой без провалов и скачков; сложности упорядочены: финал на Легком теперь заметно слабее, чем на Невозможно.
Сила к финальному боссу и приросты маны снижены по итогам тестов (мана примерно на треть).
Отряды волн собираются ровнее: юниты в отряде близки по силе и уровню, лидер не слабее свиты; слабейшие юниты и призыватели не бывают лидерами после 5-й волны.
Поздние боссы строятся вокруг эпических юнитов (Небирос, Дева битвы, Падший и другие); у финального босса гарантированы массовый яд, разбитие брони и массовый контроль.
Постоянные банки одного типа разного качества (+5 и +15) теперь складываются на одном юните; повторно ту же самую банку выпить нельзя.
Каждые две волны в награде дается слабая одноразовая боевая банка (атака, защита или сопротивление).
Игра и сайт считают волны из одних данных: игра теперь видит юнитов нестандартных серий (Носферату, Дриада, Архидьявол, Демиург и др.), превью волн на сайте совпадает с игрой.
Кнопка выхода в главное меню — в столице, правый нижний круг панели.
Стабильность: исправлены вылет и зависание после поражения («Столица пала»), выход с экрана поражения ведет прямо в главное меню.

v0.4.9 17.07.2026

Mana was rebalanced: higher starting amounts by difficulty (300/200/100/50) and smoothly increasing wave rewards (about 1000 by the finale), enough for both spells and the Forge.
Mage Tower spells are cheaper: level 1 costs half as much, level 2 costs one third less, and level 3 costs one quarter less.
The permanent-potion shop no longer floods the player: a random potion appears by chance, with at most one type and one copy; level potions appear every 5 waves; Scroll Mastery appears only after wave 1.
Permanent potions for the same stat (+5/+10/+15) can no longer stack on one unit; the old check failed and allowed unlimited growth.
The shop now rotates 12 one-use protection potions covering weapon, mind, death, elements, control, poison, debuffs, drain and direct strikes.
Bosses and wave rosters now match the generator design: the spawner no longer silently drops large two-slot units.
Scrolls now apply the exact scroll you dragged instead of the first scroll in the bag.
On the Norwegian Semga base, the technical %PART3% marker was removed from unit descriptions, balance changes were aligned with Slasher, and a critical armor-calculation crash was fixed.
A post-defeat freeze on the Norwegian Semga base was fixed: the Capital Fallen cutscene no longer loops and returns to the main menu correctly.
Capital siege stalemates now count as an honest loss when the guardian cannot finish a boss, instead of a false victory caused by the enemy 'fleeing'.
Endless waves after the finale once again arrive as full six-unit squads instead of occasionally collapsing into weak groups of three.

v0.4.8 17.07.2026

Fixed a critical game crash caused by reading unit armor outside valid squad slots, for example during interactions with a Wyvern.
The Norwegian Semga 1.44 version menu now shows the mod title (Capital Defense), matching the Slasher MNS build.
Launcher reliability was hardened after an audit: strict patch-file validation, safer self-update rollback, atomic installed-file inventory writes and UI recovery after internal verification errors.

v0.4.7 17.07.2026

Final wave bosses now reliably arrive with full squads featuring poison, armor break and mass control; bosses also use life damage more often, making defense harder.
The capital siege starts only after the entire squad is dead (hero and all units), not when the hero alone falls; survivors can now finish the wave.
Permanent Mana Forge upgrades no longer disappear when a unit levels up; repeated copies of the same bonus remain separate.
Mercenaries no longer reuse a squad tier from another game, and recruit levels now scale to the current squad.
The incoming-strike warning is now shown correctly when replaying a wave.
Closed an exploit that allowed leaving a besieged capital by using a scroll from the city inventory.
The launcher now replaces files safely through connection loss or low disk space, blocks version rollback, fixes Retry stalls and rolls back failed self-updates; offline starts no longer leave the game without mss32.dll.

v0.4.6 17.07.2026

Mercenary Camp stock now scales with your squad: recruit tiers grow with you, new recruits start at level 1, and top-tier units arrive at levels matching the squad.
Permanent potions (+15% health/damage/armor/initiative) no longer disappear when a unit levels, and still cannot be applied twice.
Elixir of Ascension once again offers development branches to experienced units; previously any unit above level 1 received only another level.
Enemy waves no longer flee from combat.
Enemy strike spells cannot hit your squad before wave 12, and a warning appears before the battle.
Cheap small healing potions (25/50/100 HP) are always stocked for support-unit healing.
The Nothing unit was removed from the Mercenary Camp.
Fixed a false Main Path Complete result when the capital guardian finished a wave after the hero died; guardian-only victories no longer enter ratings or records.
Launcher distribution was fixed so Interf.ff reaches players; missing it previously broke windows and icons after updating.

v0.4.5 17.07.2026

The squad-defeat easter egg now shows an unobstructed portrait in the lower-right corner, without a black screen, and at a lower volume.
A compact cameo window replaces the old half-screen darkening.
The website gained a gofile mirror button containing both ZIP packages.
