UPDATE 0.672 [BUGFIXING]
Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
First of, make sure you didn't miss yesterday big update, that significally improves performance and add multithreading support to Kingdoms. Today I decided to make a bugfixing - previous update was really large and I definitely missed some bugs - but thanks to your reports and active help (Remember to use in-game bug-reporter - f11!) I can fix those. I think Friday's update will be also about bugfixing and since Monday i'll start to add new stuff - I have kept a LOT of cool ideas during working on performance update. But now, to fixes list:
CHANGES
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.
4) You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
