Warlordocracy News

Mostly implemented new magic staves (see video): Pyromancer Staff, Cryomancer Staff, Biomancer Staff, and Neuromancer Staff, each held by high clerics of Izar. The War Table script is now finished, where you can view enemy forces, purchase henchmen contracts, and more. Also, you can now extinguish basic torches just by interacting (no bucket of water required).

Removed all ".PNG" extensions from the save files so they're a little smaller now, and it's making me think I should do something about the bloated Brigand saves eventually. Also added new cliff textures (mostly for caves), made blunt weapons have a chance to knock back targets with enough damage, fixed a few bugs, and updated the weapons section of the Player's Manual. Also your wealth and (to a lesser extent) inventory now contribute very slightly to party level.
