Frozenheim v 1.4 - AI Update: Archetypes

The bustling sounds of the marketplace fill your ears. The commerce is doing well and your clan has secured what they needed for the coming winter. Yet, as the foresters tend to the saplings you are left to wonder - what your foes will come up with next spring?

[h2]Northfolk![/h2]

Time has come for the pre-anniversary update that we have teased some time ago and as the name suggests you can expect another big update in June. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves and focus on what the team has brought for you.

[h3]AI Update and AI Archetypes[/h3]

We have made significant steps in the department of AI with our previous updates - albeit not without hiccups. Staying true to our promise, we are continuing to improve the experience of playing against AI. With the addition of the archetype system we aim to deliver a more varied experience to skirmishes.

[h3]Marketplace and forester[/h3]

Besides the AI improved, we have added a new building, the forester’s hut, and added a new functionality to an already existing one, the marketplace. The forester will play a key part in regrowing the woodline. From the marketplace you will be able now to send resources to different players.

[h3]Other quality of life improvements[/h3]

Apart from the above mentioned changes, you will also find a plethora of new additions, such as new cursors and build menus. For the full list, see the changelog below.
