Introduction
Hello, War Mages! A new patch for Orcs Must Die! 3 is here and brings some exciting changes with it. This update focuses on frequent player feedback and improves, among other things, the balancing of traps and the difficulty level in various game modes. But that's not all - keep reading to learn all the details!
Trap Balancing & Difficulty Adjustments
The developers have responded to player concerns about trap damage compared to player damage and adjusted the balance accordingly. This should allow you to effectively bring more traps into battle.
In addition, some scenarios in Rift Lord difficulty and on certain endless maps were found to be too difficult. These battles have now been made fairer, so hopefully you can achieve better scores and skull rewards.

The latest patch adds three new endless maps: Abandoned Passage, Order Enclave, and Slag Field. Additionally, some rare but annoying crashes have been fixed that were affecting the gameplay experience.
