Age of Empires: Castle Siege is making some changes to its version of Henry V, so he is a bigger threat in the action-strategy game. It's part of the 1.10 update that's now available for Windows Phone and Windows 8.1. gamers.
Microsoft explains the changes to Henry V in its latest Age of Empires blog post, stating. "Henry's new theme is wreaking chaos from distance. We're going to give him some basic stat increases so he is more of a threat on his own (i.e. harassing resources, taking out enemy troops, and staying out of the line of fire). We're going to add more utility to his Ability by having a lasting effect on any structures that have been targeted. Lastly, he should be easier to use, as we are doubling the casting range of his ability."
- Henry's Disable casting range increased by 100%
- After the duration of Disable expires, the targeted tower's attack rate is reduced by half for the rest of the battle
- Henry's attack range increased by 12.5%
- Increased Henry's damage by 25%
- Henry will prioritize wall troops over other targets that are within his attack range
Here's what else is included with the 1.10 update:
- Relief Force Donations tab added to Alliance Messaging
- Peace Treaties now also protect from revenge attacks
- Rurik has developed Sword Mastery which dispatches any wall troop in a single blow
- The duration of the Terrorize ability has increased
- Winrich will deal bonus damage against Grenadiers
- Defensive Grenadiers speed has been reduced and they no longer deal bonus damage against Teutonic Knights
- Engineers are now easier to select
- Laddermen will go over walls more quickly and take less damage while doing so
- Laddermen will dispatch ranged wall units in a single blow
- Crossbowmen and catapults now deal bonus damage against Grenadiers
- Defensive units will use breaches and gates more often
- Muted alliance members will stay muted until the next launch of the app
- Rurik now prioritize towers over non-threatening structures
- Guard House troops that have been Converted by Joan no longer prevent further troop deployment
