Imperial Ambitions News

[h3]Patch notes[/h3]

[h3]
• New tile shapes:
  [/h3]Replaced flat-top hex tiles with pointy-top hex tiles. I think this makes the game spread more east-west orientation, in the same direction of European exploration.
  
  
  
  [h3]
• Labor output balancing:
  [/h3]Now slaves and peasants produce 2, apprentices produce 3, artisans produce 4 and masters produce 5 labor. This change makes easier to support larger armies while decreasing the impact of masters.
  
  [h3]
• New Depth of Field effect:
  [/h3]The new Depth of Field blur method creates much smoother blur effect.
  
  

Emil Posner has created his masterpiece, "Past Centuries" for Imperial Ambitions.

I cannot share the full version, but those who signed up for the beta can listen to it in the campaign.

[h2]Gameplay Changes[/h2]

• Now unfed units and agents get "Hungry" trait. If they are still not fed after 3 turns, they will have the "Starving" trait. These traits will have impact on the dicipline and cause disbandment. (To be completed)
  
• Units and agents lacking their luxury items will go melancholic ("Melancholy" trait). When left unsatisfied, they will grow "Depressed" after 5 turns. These traits will have impact on the dicipline and cause units refuse commands. (To be completed)
  

[h2]Visual changes[/h2]

• Now sandy beach tiles are added besides the cliffs. The European coastline in the main campaign map is updated using geological survey data. Thanks to all scientists worked in the project for their contribution.
