UPDATE 0.633 [PROTECTING GUARDS]
Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
0.633
Todays update can be basically called "sieges#2.5" because main new feature will find use (and partly already did) in sieges. Now guards in settlement can react to enemies around - kill wild animals, attack passing by bandits, attack enemy army during siege - the attack range is 100m. I've also made some tweaks there and there to increase damage delivered by AIs weapon - now guards should survive bear or wolf attack and not to die one by one. For player it will be also a bit more challenging to fight AI and good defense (=good armor) is now really matter. Army men will do the same, but only in case they're not at march or in war-camp. The only exception is siege - in that case army will return to settlement to defend it.
The rest changes follow:
CHANGELOG & BUGFIXING
FULL LIST OF UPDATES
IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot.
2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
