Da Nutz ‘N’ Boltz update has now been further updated with some high-priority tweaks and fixes. These are as follows:
- Fixed a bug in the Vortex Campaign final battle which caused all four enemy armies to appear together at the start, making it exceedingly tough. Their arrival is now correctly staggered

Technology
We’ve received lots of community feedback regarding the balance between Orcs and Goblins, particularly in the Greenskin Technology Tree. On review, we agreed that the Orc bonuses were a bit one-note (leaning heavily on Weapon Strength), so have adapted several technologies to apply their effects to a broader set of units.
- ‘Eavier Clubs
- +5 Melee Attack for Savage Orcs replaced by +8 Melee Attack for Orc Infantry
- ‘Eavy Metal
- +3 Melee Attack for Orc Infantry replaced by +10 Armour for Orc Infantry
- Weapon Strength bonus reduced from +10% to +5%
- Better Arrer Heads
- All effects now apply to all missile infantry (was previously just goblins)
- Boar Painting
- 10% recruitment cost for Savage Orcs replaced by +10% speed for Orc Boars
- Gobbo Crackdown
- +10% speed for Goblins replaced by +10% speed for all infantry
Scrap Upgrades
We’ve also adjusted the following upgrade available to Orc Boyz, as we felt that, while strong in a specific context, it lacked the all-round value of equivalent upgrades.
- Padded Shield
- Missile Block Chance reduced from +40 to +30
- Now grants +15 armour
Other Changes
Over time we’ve tended to reduce the recruitment time of higher-tier units. Several units had not been updated accordingly, so we’ve made some changes:
- Big ‘Uns, Savage Orc Big ‘Uns and Boar Boyz recruitment time reduced from 2 to 1 turn
- Norscan Giant and Greenskin giant recruitment time reduced from 3 to 2 turns
