Warlordocracy News

Added 7 new magic weapons that recharge in the sunlight, darkness, or water (depending on weapon). Party members no longer get killed when pit-fighting in Ch.2, just knocked unconscious. Still planning on expanding the pit-fighting later, but for now at least it's functional. Improved a few other things.

Finally, expanded the badlands maps for Ch.4 to include a coastal town for the pirate faction.




Complete list of changes:

-Expanded scope of Badlands overworld map (Ch.4), updated manuals.
-New scripts that charge magic weapons in sunlight, darkness or water.
-Weapon charges no longer drain on attack unless stated in attack script.
-New magic weapons: Everfrost Sword/Axe, Sunburst Sword/Axe, Stun Mace/Spear, Corrosive Mace.
-If mobile is knocked unconscious in attack script, attack no longer immediately cancels status.
-If "stopCombat" command is called or faction becomes non-hostile in attack script, AI no longer retaliates.
-When player uses ability while moving, character position is now reset to original tile for targeting.
-Fixed Ch.2 pitfighting scripts, party members now get knocked unconscious instead of dying.
-Fixed script bug with splash effect extinguishing fire (when using buckets of water).
-Gave Mantios a Stun Mace in Chapter 3.

Included 14 new achievements, as well as two new gemcracks with eight new spells. Added a ton more dialogue and quests into Ch.3, plus a new bedroll item that lets you rest anywhere, and some nifty little hats you get from killing rich people that do nothing. Also, you can now craft instruments with Woodcraft ability.

Also, you can now swim from Windside Beach to Berindal's Refuge if everyone in the party has the Swimming ability. Finally, added some new music and audio resources for later, thanks to Sonic Kitchen.

Still haven't finished the Ch.3 party banter, but there is a new party member to recruit in Ch.3, Stringer the Bard, along with a new side quest. Also, new script command to prevent party members from dropping certain items (like their precious stash of booger sugar).

There are now playable instruments but they don't do anything yet besides play sounds. Gonna make a music minigame soon, along with a lockpicking and persuasion minigame, right after I finish Ch.3 party dialogue and romance.

Here are the 3 new recruitable party members in Chapter 3: Shale, Dustbiter, and Stringer.




Complete list of changes:

Chapter 3 is out, my babies! I didn't have time to write the party banter/romances yet, but that will be patched in by Monday, along with a couple more side quests and about 100 bug fixes. Give me your money now, and... maybe wait till the next patch on Monday to play?
