Weekly Update Plan (June 23–June 29)

[p]This Week’s Focus: Refining the Private Troops System[/p][p][/p][p]Last week, we launched the first version of the private troops system, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. So this week, we are not adding any new features. Instead, we’ll focus on improving and expanding what’s already there.[/p][p]1. Add a chance for friendly noble families to assist you when you are attacked by another family's private troops.[/p][p]2. Add an option to give up a farm in exchange for peace when you are unable to resist retaliation.[/p][p]3. Add new recruitment sources for private troops, such as refugees and prisoners.[/p][p]4. Add scenarios where noble families involved in private troop skirmishes may request your assistance.[/p][p]5. Add the ability to directly dispatch private troops to seize farmsteads from other families.[/p][p]6. Add the ability to send private troops to abduct characters from the courtesan lounge.[/p][p]7. Add a chance for the royal court to be attacked by private troops from rebellious families. Players can choose to help defend; if already a royal relative, you can ask other families for support. Win the battle, and you can eliminate the entire rebel clan.[/p][p]8. Add the ability to form alliances with other noble families to jointly attack the Royal City.[/p][p]9. The success of inciting rebels to harass other families will now be affected by the size of the target’s private troop force.[/p][p]10. Improve the mechanics behind how other families' private troop numbers increase or decrease over time.[/p][p][/p][p]We plan to update the game 2 to 3 times this week. If time allows, we’ll also sneak in some small improvements, like last week’s new character search feature in the family tree.[/p][p][/p][p]And finally, regarding performance issues that many of you have mentioned, this is a long-term process. We are constantly optimizing parts of the system each week to reduce lag and heavy processing. You might not feel the difference right away, but we are on it. Thanks for sticking with us![/p]
