Have you actually tried it? Because some who did could not play online after applying the patch. And considering that 1.6 is due for 27 September, I don't think that this update was intentional.

Works fine for me, but I currently play in Offline mode.
Version number does appear as 1.7 in-game and in Windows Explorer, when you look at the EXE.

EDIT: Online mode works too, but I got an error with the Cloud saves for some reason, so had to skip that part (there was a button to do so).

Not in the game, or at the PC I have it on. So I can't. Have there been any changes.. or have the changes in 1,5 been erased?

1.7 is as intended. Original plan/contract with Limbic was supposed to be patch 1.7 end of August. Probably they just realized 09 is actually September already so why not skip a little to end it faster .

Damn, this sucks! The Upgraded Glories Special ability textual description now no longer says they return after battle, and they really do not. But it would be much better if they did, as per old description - there is no way to resurrect them or even heal them.
(You can only resurrect Seraphs/Vestals/Crusaders.)

The bug was this:
Although the textual description in Heroes patches 1.4/1.5.x said Upgraded Glories that die from using their Special return after the end of the battle, they did not return.
So it seems they took the easy way out - just remove the text that said they return.

Mana leach works only on shooting so that is absolutely what it needs. No melee penalty would have fit the creature thematically better but now the ability is useful all the time.

For a unit like that? Are you kidding me? It means that, come turn 1 for the Breeder Moms, they can move ahead a couple of squares and fire a full damage salvo on EVERY intended target, not just on targets silly enough to come into range.
Alternatively it means, should they find themselves blocked, that they can move away from the blocker, punishing them with a full damage salvo.
Lastly it means, they can fire a full range salvo, to move away afterwards (and possibly out of range of a unit in question).

The ability is worth a lot more for the Breeders than for the Centaurs who have full range anyway, plus the maneuverability which makes them move away from any blocker that attacks them. Which means, Centaurs would make use of the ability rarely, while the Breeder Moms use it virtually every combat round.

As much as JJ is right there. It should be noted that the ability is slightly offset by Breeders low movement.
And as much as Moblie Shooter makes sense for Centaurs lorewise, practically, it is rather bothersome to move them about so much during their turns. Especially since if you ignore the movement, you forfeit any extra actions the Centaurs may take.

i agree, mobile shooter is a very useful skill for breeders, but they are now so much more expensive. Inferno really needs to spent the most money to buy all it's units per week, and they have the least number of units. i didn't calculate the overall unit costs of all factions, but i think this is true.

there is one problem with mobile shooter though. the advantage breeders can take from mobile shooter is very restricted, since they only have 5 movement as opposed to the 8 movement of the centaurs.

one other small thing that is confusing me, is that centaurs look like actual mobile shooters. breeders do not, they don't look like fast moving units. but that's secondary.

i think no melee penalty would fit breeders better.

edit: War-Overlord was faster than me.

Something that just occured to me is that to make mobile shooter actually more usefull for centraurs, without taking away their full range is an ability that makes them do more damage up close, or do more damage when moved.
