    111. Changes
    112.  
    113. Added an option to ransom the player’s sister by speaking with Gunnar after completing the “Defeat the Sea Hounds” quest. The ransom costs 10,000 denars, and the sister returns after approximately three weeks. This concludes the War Sails questline without playing the remaining missions.
    114.  
    115. Improved several naval storyline texts for clarity and consistency, including menu labels, tooltips, and dialogue lines. This includes clearer wording for postponing the story, adjusted restart options in set-piece encounters after checkpoints, gender-neutral dialogues, and an updated “Set Sail” warning tooltip when the player does not own any ships.
    116.  
    117. Adjusted the naval storyline so the final conversation now triggers immediately after the end battle, instead of after completing the “Return to Ostican” quest and visiting Gunnar at the port.
    118.  
    119. Added auto-save checkpoints during the naval storyline before set-piece battles. This functionality will still be disabled if autosaving is turned off in game options.
    120.  
    121. Adjusted the final battle of the “Speak to the Sailors in Omor” quest by increasing the player ship’s durability and reducing ballista damage taken while controlling the ship.
    122.  
    123. Improved the final battle in the “Hunt Down Emira al-Fahda and the Corsairs” quest so that being knocked out after sinking Emira al-Fahda’s ship no longer immediately fails the battle, allowing the outcome to be decided by the remaining fight.
    124.  
    125. Reduced the length of naval storyline quests by removing the following encounters:
    126.  
    127. Second generic Sea Hounds encounter from “Escort the Vlandian Merchants” quest.
    128.  
    129. Generic Corsair encounters from “Hunt Down Emira al-Fahda” and “Capture the Merchant Crusas” quests."
    130.  
    131. Added new voice lines and notifications for the "Speak to the sailors in Omor" quest.
    132.  
    133. Updated the player-controlled ballista in the "floating fortress" naval battle of “Capture the Merchant Crusas” quests to Heavy Stone Ballista. This should make it easier to cycle while aiming and simpler to see the projectile.
    134.  
    135. Added 6 additional focus points to all heroes in new games and existing savegames. (Added with a hotfix on 24/12/25)
    136.  
    137. Adjusted the ramming impact point requirements to make higher-quality rams easier and more consistent.
    138.  
    139. Naval blockades now begin as soon as a siege starts, rather than after siege preparations are completed.
    140.  
    141. Improved Skirmish order behavior for ships by reducing unnecessary turning as a reaction to the enemy turning and improved positioning by having ships maneuver more consistently alongside enemy ships.
    142.  
    143. Adjusted the skills of Nord Berserkir:
    144.  
    145. Increased Two Handed from 80 to 140.
    146.  
    147. Reduced Polarm from 100 to 40.
    148.  
    149. Equipped Nord Ulfhedinn with better armor versions of the same armor pieces:
    150.  
    151. Increased the armor values of their Wolf Pelt Cape version from 6 / 3 to 15 / 6.
    152.  
    153. Increased the armor values of their Wolf Head version from 16 to 48.
    154.  
    155. These versions with increased armor values will not be available on the market and will only be used by the troops.
    156.  
    157. Adjusted the skills of Aserai Convoy Guard:
    158.  
    159. Increased Athletics from 40 to 110.
    160.  
    161. Increased the armor value of Berserker Helmet from 22 to 42.
    162.  
    163. Increased the armor value of Berserker Reinforced Cloak from 34 to 54.

    169. Fixed a bug that caused ship mangonels to attack the player’s ship during a cutscene in the “Capture the imperial merchant Crusas” quest.
    170.  
    171. Fixed a bug that caused AI troops to have a harder time getting on and crossing the rope bridges during boarding due to a navmesh issue.
    172.  
    173. Fixed a bug that caused the ballista camera to switch to a different ship's ballista during Order of Battle.
    174.  
    175.  
    176.  
    177. Crashes
    178.  
    179. Fixed a crash that occurred due to a sound-related issue when starting the “Speak to the sailors in Omor” quest from a checkpoint.
    180.  
    181. Fixed a crash that occurred when the player attempted to retreat during the final battle of the “Escort the Vlandian Merchants” quest.

    200.  
    201. Fixed a bug that prevented all available troops from being used in simulations, which could previously cause losing battles due to limited troop numbers and entire sieges being lost as a result.
    202.  
    203. Fixed a bug that caused attackers to lose Lord’s Hall battles (both mission and simulated) due to low morale, even when they still had troops remaining.
    204.  
    205. Fixed a bug that caused settlement advantages to be applied in Lord’s Hall battles.
    206.  
    207. Adjusted shield stats and pricing to better match their size and visuals:

    772. We included a set of bug fixes that are meant to return your family to you (if you lost them after completing the naval storyline) and prevent them from disappearing in the first place.
    773.  
    774. As family members can be in a number of different states, your experience may vary a bit:
    775.  
    776. Family members like the younger brother and sister are disabled as long as their relevant quests are incomplete. This was already the case and wasn't changed.
    777.  
    778. If your sister was spawned before becoming an adult, this version should despawn her when you load your savegame. She should spawn again upon becoming an adult.
    779.  
    780. If you rescued your younger sister and she is an adult but she wasn't added to your clan, this version should add her to your clan and place her in a fugitive state when you load your savegame.
    781.  
    782. If the adult sister disappeared in prior versions, she should enter fugitive state upon loading the save in 1.3.9 (and newer). If it happened after you made her a governor, she should be immediately spawned and returned to that position.
    783.  
    784. Should another family member be missing (like the younger brother), the same rules apply.
    785.  
    786. Please note that "fugitive state" has a 30% chance to spawn the character daily. So if this applies to your case, the sibling/s should spawn after 3-4 days.
    787.  
    788. Fixed a bug that caused the Transfer Troops action not to work correctly.
    789.  
    790.
