Greetings!

We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.0.4. Here's what we've got today:

• Confederating minor factions will no longer increase the cost of confederating Legendary Lords in the Great Book of Grudges
• Fixed an issue where the Nurgle Plagues button could sometimes become permanently disabled in multiplayer campaigns
• Fixed an issue preventing Anvil of Doom characters from performing melee attacks under certain circumstances
• Added some missing VFX and audio to Thorek's Anvil of Doom melee attacks, including a fresh new effect where his anvil runes glow brighter when making a strike!
• Made Malakai's gun a tiny bit less eager - it now fires its bullets in sequence instead of firing every bullet immediately on the first shot
• Added audio to Malakai's third shot in his firing sequence
• Fixed an issue where several different Legendary Heroes (I've got my eye on you, Ghoritch!) could spawn at a random character that did not belong to the player
• Fixed health bar not filling correctly on unit information panel in campaign
• Fixed an issue where Hero character names and icon outline did not match the player's colour
• Fixed an issue in multiplayer campaigns where the Tomb Kings Mortuary Cult HUD button was locked if another player was Dwarfs
• Fixed an issue where Chaos Lords of Nurgle and Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle variants were missing their Nurgle Authority skills
• Fixed the bandits caravan event not triggering
• Fixed an issue where some generic combat skills in the Daemon Slayer's skill tree used the hero variants (three levels instead of two that lords usually require)
• Fixed crash when loading a saved character in the army setup
• Fixed an issue where horde factions could infinitely recruit capped units by creating and loading a save immediately after recruiting them

As always, thanks for your ongoing feedback and bug reports. See you on the battlefield!
