Hello everyone,

Small, but critical update, it was meant as a hotfix, but it contains a little extra.

This update adds free camera mode and an improved single combat camera. The AI in sally out battles is fixed and ladder destruction now correctly lets the player fall. Player voice pitch and several formation related crashes have also been resolved.

This update also fixes the tournament arena colliding with the new castles causing it too float in the air and the pathfinding around the Leiden Castle gate.

Changelog

• Add free camera mode (can be toggled off in settings, also disabled as part of the 'realism mode' features.) Default keybind: T
  
• Add better single combat camera
  
• Add open hoarding and stair hoardings as props
  
• Tweak bastard sword animation set
  
• Fix AI breaking during sally out battles
  
• Fix player not falling when ladder is destroyed
  
• Fix player voice pitch issues
  
• Fix tournament arena colliding with custom castles
  
• Fix Leiden castle hoarding opening pathfinding
  
• Fix possible crash related to formation sound
  
• Fix possible crash related to formation combat logic
  

Hello everyone!

This update replaces all default castles and adds 9 new castles to the base campaign with full upgrade trees.
This brings the total number of castles to 13, not counting the castle creator.

You can load old campaign saves without issues.
However, to have the new castles appear in their correct locations, you will need to start a new save.

Thank you for all the support so far!

If you have suggestions, bug reports, or general ideas for the next update, feel free to join the Discord or drop by the discussions. Always happy to hear your input.
