[p]Hi adventurers,[/p][p][/p][p]I'm back from my summer break with a new update! And I've been adding quite some new mechanics for this "
Raids Update"![/p][p]First of all I'm really glad that fortress walls are not just for decoration and prestige anymore, now they'll protect you from
real threats. And I really hope that you'll enjoy building
traps and
defense weapons.[/p][p]I'm curious about your feedback on the raid system, as it probably needs some tuning and
balancing, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts about it.[/p][p]And apart from that, I also worked on some of the
most requested features from the community: improvements to the
hero selection screen and the
recruiting board. So now you can regenerate only the hero look or stats, and you can also save your favorite heroes and reuse them in other games. And for recruits, you can finally dismiss them, and you can also regenerate their look to make sure they'll fit with your colony dress code![/p][p][/p][p]
