Summary (AI)

Patch 1.7.12 for Birds of War adjusts multiple bird abilities, including making Charged Headbutt and stun effects scale with charge time, increasing Thermal Soar slam damage but reducing daze duration, and refining targeting and activation conditions for several abilities such as Blind, Stalker, and Flurry. Various bugs were fixed, including issues with ability activation during daze states, collision problems, and UI inconsistencies. The update also adds observer slots to custom games, introduces dedicated servers for non-Workshop maps, and improves party and lobby UI features. Additional quality-of-life changes include improved friend list functions, mastery XP gains, and new objective markers for better game navigation. Several terrain and collision fixes were applied across multiple maps, along with adjustments to voice lines and sound effects.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
