Warlordocracy Early v11.3 to 12.0
Here are the patch notes for the last 8 updates for Warlordocracy Early Access. Just uploaded the first Ch.3 alpha to Patreon, as well as a PDF guide to mythology and magic called The Shrouded Arts (minor spoilers). Pathfinding continues to improve slowly, and meanwhile I'm cramming tons of crafting recipes in there that most players will never use, because why not?
