Hey Guys,

Still plugging away working on the Darkdale update but for any who are watching but don't have the game yet Warsim is now 35% off for 2 weeks. If you do have it but know anyone who might like to give it a go let them know!

With the global coronavirus pandemic on there's not been a better time to lock in and play some games.

Stay safe!
Huw Millward (Solo developer of Warsim)

For those of you who don't know, Darkdale is a currently uncoded location in Songwood in the West. Currently if you try to enter nothing happens but it has been on the list of things to add for a long time.

Darkdale is a small city nestled in the woods and will include three districts that you can visit, those being:

* The Market District (Brewery, Bookwriter, Trade post, Leafburner guildhall, a tavern, 2 buyable properties, a champion hiring business and a goblin slapping stall)
* The Noble District (Guardpost, 2 buyable properties, a tavern, the treasury, an order of knights, a barracks, the main fortress, and the city census office)
* The Folk District (Peasant recruitment, jesters society, 2 buyable properties, a fight pit, a cat tavern, some local characters)

There's already lots coded but I'd say I'm about 20-30% of the way done. I estimate it could take maybe 1-3 weeks to complete depending on the complexity of some features but I'm excited to get it finished.

Hey everyone, so this is a little something I worked on, on the weekend. This update includes a new questline where you can dismantle and profit from the Titan's Skull to the south; Improvements to the brawl pit and it's owner; A bit of a change to the end of turn battle screen which you will all notice once you play... hopefully it's an improvement! And a few tweaks, changes, and bugfixes everywhere else!

It's possible to find a valuable fragment of a titan's skull as an item of random loot in game, there's also a giant titan's skull... some of you probably see where this is going.
