Warsim: The Realm of Aslona News

Hey guys,

Firstly thank you for all the amazing birthday messages, it's been a lovely day so far.

I popped on steam for a moment earlier and saw this thread mentioning an issue with throne room visitors being permanently set to 0 every year. I figured it was caused by the new throne room limit option being incorrectly set by default so I've just done a quickfix for it.

If your save already has 0 visitors for a turn then it will remain that way but be fine the following year, and for anyone else it will be completely fine. Sorry for the issue, should have caught that one in testing.

Thanks again everyone!

Hey Everyone,

So tomorrow (monday) is my 26th Birthday. A few weeks ago in preparation for this I figured it would be nice if I did a little 26 feature update to celebrate, but ended up instead aiming for 260 features, which has been a ton of work. I decided to focus the main effort of the update on the complete rework of the second region of the Eastern lands, known as the Lost Jungle. Until now in my opinion it's one of the worst regions for having basically nothing worth doing there, so I've tried to change that.



The new lost jungle

[h3]RANDOMLY GENERATED PROTOFOLK VILLAGES (44 features)[/h3]

The crowning gem of the region are the up to two villages of Protofolk (cavemen) people who can occupy the region. These randomly generated tribes can be made up many different types that all have different effects and functions. You may find a tribe of hostile Protofolk who battle monsters in a central monster pit, or a tribe of dumb Protofolk who paint everything blue... Or maybe no tribes at all, just ruins.

[h3]MUSHROOM MEN REWORKED (3 features)[/h3]

Warsim discord member LeMachinga sent in a very interesting set of redesign concepts for the current Mushroom men face generator. I looked over them and compared and his version was in my opinion, better than the default. So I set out to rework the mushroom faces to fit his design, and in the process beefed up the generator to have an extra 1.44 billion new faces. As a thanks for his contribution to the mushroom men design, one of the random possible mushroom man character names is Mushinga, a reference to LeMachinga. Thanks mate! :)

[h3]THRONE ROOM MANAGEMENT IMPROVED (3 features)[/h3]

After a discord discussion between LeMachinga and LeechGirl the idea to allow a maximum number of visitors to the throne room was raised. It's a great suggestion and adds to our recent option to send away a custom number of visitors. Now players can set any limit they want and each year if the number of visitors exceeds this they will be sent away.

* Added new ability to set a maximum limit of visitors to the throne room (credit LeMachinga)
* Added screen for setting a maximum visitor limit higher than current visitors resulting in some being kicked out

[h3]WHAT'S NEXT[/h3]

I'm taking a week off for my birthday (milking it I know), when I come back it'll be combat update as usual. Thank you all for being such a fantastic and supportive community. All the comments, the reviews, encouragement and support has been and still is lifechanging for me. I'm humbled to be able to survive on making this game and to take on board all the great feedback I get to make the game better than it would ever be alone. Thank you all so much, I'll see you in a week!
Cheers

Huw

Hey Everyone,

The last week and a half has been amazing, since the Overwhelmingly Positive update we've had a ton of new amazing reviews and nearly 1000 new Warsim players! To everyone new, Welcome :)

This update is a pretty broad one, lots of little fixes and quality of life additions. I'm still working through a mix of bug reports and backlogged suggestions while also working through the combat update plans.

[h3]NAME SUFFIX SYSTEM EXPANDED (3 features)[/h3]

For a long time certain name suffixes have been able to have addons added to them 'Garbald the Sad' could also be 'Garbald the Sad Knight' or 'Garbald the Sad Raider' modified by Warsim's in-game suffix add on system. Unlike adding new name suffixes, adding new suffix addons was a harder process done only within the games code. I set out to completely replace that system and have it fully moddable and accessible just like the suffix system is, so now in a new text file called 'Name Suffix Addon.txt' in the main Warsim Data folder you can find all of the possible addons followed by the battlescore bonus they provide. While expanding this system I added a ton of new addon parts which has led to over a quarter of a million new possible random name suffix combinations. You'll see these as hirable champions, staff members, enemy rulers etc. This system is even more exciting for me because unlike the 3000ish current name suffixes, all of these will be random and unpredictable combinations that will even catch me offguard. Being caught offguard with random content in a game I've spent 5 years making and know like the back of my hand is always a bonus!

* Added new moddable system for name suffix addons
* Added 265 new name suffix addons (was 57 now 322 total) (With 1199 total modifiable name suffixes this means there are 386'078 possible random name suffix combinations now)
* Made name suffix addon system 2x more likely to be used when generating names

Some of the random names created by the new system


[h3]MILITIA GROWTH (2 features)[/h3]

A good point was made on our discord by Paul-2020 about not being able to see Militia unit growth, I've now added mention of it to the end of turn report.

* Added ability to see how many peasants have joined the milita each year in end of turn report (credit Paul-2020)
* Added alternate text for militia recruiting a single peasant in end of turn report

New militia end of turn notice


[h3]NEW KINGDOM TITLES (5 features)[/h3]

Some new titles for kingdoms and their rulers and lords that can spawn in your world, thanks for the suggestions guys!

* Added 2 new rare king titles 'The Sleeping God' and 'The Dead God' 1 in 1000 chance of appearing as a king title (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Pact' with ruler 'Grand Master' and lord 'Pact Maker' avaialble for civ level 3 and above (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Alliance' with ruler 'Overseer' and lord 'Guardian' avaialble for civ level 4 and above (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Tyranny' with ruler 'Tyrant' and lord 'Underling' avaialble for civ level 3 and above (credit 5HO)
* Added new kingdom type 'Cult' with ruler 'Great One' and lord 'Worshipper' available for civ level 3 and above (credit Pathfinder)

[h3]SUDDEN DEATH IMPROVED (4 features)[/h3]

* Added ability to back out of an attack in the raid/invade/skirmish screen of main combat (credit Vlyn)

* Fixed bug with trying to attack goblin horde when not active skipping your turn in combat
* Fixed combat phase skipping bug
* Removed redundant error messages for attacking dead factions in combat screen

New attack screen option


[h3]DOMAIN NAMES IMPROVED (2 features)[/h3]

I'm not talking about .com's here, there's a rare chance that a kingdom of gnomes could end up being called "Dibble's Domain" however this system was bugged and resulted in a lot of these 'Domain' names not coming out as intended. After a surpring number of 'fixes' not actually fixing it I managed to get it all sorted. I don't see these names too often in game as there's a 1 in 60 odds of them appearing in the 5 kingdoms you get per game. I've decided to make it a much higher 1 in 6 odds so you'll be seeing these a little more often.

* Fixed issue with 'domain' based kingdom names generating brokenly ie "'s Domain"
* Made domain based names 10x more common

[h3]TROOP TREE IMPROVEMENTS (3 features)[/h3]

When vieiwing the troop tree of independent kingdoms you will now be able to compare them with your own and see more information.

* Reworked troop tree screen in independent kingdom diplomacy
* Added the option to compare your default 3 troop tiers with independent kingdoms in diplomacy (u/videovillain)

[h3]WHAT'S NEXT[/h3]

So I've recently fixed a big bug with my current combat update prototype, I'm now going to be looking to move forward and get more progress on the other events and mechanics of the new combat stuff in the background. At the same time I'm going to keep on top of bug reports and try and continue pumping out updates.

Cheers and hope everyone is doing good

Hey Everyone,

So after 3 years in early access Warsim has hit Overwhelmingly Positive on steam. A fantastic milestone that is purely thanks to the players and the community.

The new loot!

[h3]WHAT'S NEXT[/h3]

Now that this is out of the way I'm continuing on with the Combat update stuff. I will also be keeping on top of bug reports and best I can.

We've done it!

It's been a long time coming in the more than 3 years the game has been in early access on steam. I couldn't have dreamed of this but It's so awesome to finally see it on the storepage of the game.

It couldn't have happened without literally hundreds of awesome reviews by people who've enjoyed the game and made the effort so this is all entirely thanks to you guys!



Thank you so much

Huw
