List of new features and changes in update 1.0.6 for Ara History Untold
With Ara: History Untold and Oxide Games, Xbox has brilliantly managed to add a string to its bow in the world of 4X. The game has some great arguments in its favor with its successful crafting system and its living world that we take pleasure in admiring. Find our review of Ara: History Untold for more details if you don't yet know the title. In the meantime, here are all the changes and new features of the latest game update, with a big change for the siege units which were a little too powerful.
General
- Additional localization updates in most languages.
- The description of Sappho's Tenth Muse buff has been updated to more clearly explain the regions it affects. The update now states that coastal regions are the ones the buff will impact.
- Catherine the Great's Siberian Expansion trait is reduced from +2 moves to +1 move per turn.
Improvements/Triumphs
- Farm textures that did not appear in Act 2 are now displayed correctly.
- Barracks security upgrade increased from 15 to 25.
- Upgrading Rammelsberg Mines now affects Workshops and their upgrades.
Technology/research/items
- The beer recipe now only requires one pot to speed up.
- The acceleration of medicinal herb wealth is aligned with production.
- The wine recipe now only requires one pottery to speed up.
- Trade goods now provide +10 security, +5 happiness, +10 knowledge.
City management
- Population growth cap from buffs increased from 100 to 1000.
- The cap has been removed for Happiness, Health, Knowledge, Security, and City Prosperity buffs.
- The feast recipe has been updated to have money (wealth) for all three accelerator slots by default.
UI
- The build queue now correctly expands to show all objects instead of just one.
Units/Combat
- The power of siege units is now significantly reduced. Their advantage is in breaking down walls and bombardments in general, not being versatile attackers.
- Chariots move from melee cavalry to projectile cavalry, as they have ranged weapons.
In the coming weeks, a major update will correct many issues.
Ara: History Untold is only available on PC. It integrated PC Game Pass from its launch. Remember that Oxide Games had hinted last year that its new game could arrive on consoles at a later date.
