This update has been a while in the making but I'm glad to finally be able to get it out! Originally a concept I feared would be extremely hard to code... turns out it was in fact extremely hard to code, WORTH IT :)

[h3]THE LANDS BEYOND (Infinite Procgen/Randgen exploration) (152 features)[/h3]

Now when you go to the exploration screen you will be met with an additional option to explore 'THE LANDS BEYOND', use your exploration chances here and find anything from literally over 2000 different encounter variants with themselves many elements of randomess!

I tried hard to make this unpredictable and content rich, and in my testing of 100s and 100s of locations one after the other I think it does the job!

I'll be fully honest and say I was so focused on the absolute trawl of coding this that at some point my changelog noting got a little lazy, so the changelog isn't a full reflection of every location and feature added.

[h3]HARVEST CHANGES (5 features)[/h3]

After a discussion on the steam forums LXI and Erovaren pointed out some issues with the harvest system and I got to work. Now instead of the brutal harvest system where your total peasants were recorded and randomised and the outcome was the harvest income, there are a few varying systems that can kick in at random, leading to somewhat unpredictable but in some instances less brutal harvest outcomes can happen... and in a rare instance an even more brutal one.

Hello hello!

So been a week or so since my last post and just wanted to keep everyone updated. I've been testing and playing around with the new encounter stuff and adding more and more new possible location types and it's going well. Recently I've started work a mega-template encounter that itself has 38 different sub types with 3 variants each (114 different types total) which has been a huge and tough piece of work to complete but I'm powering through it.

I've been thinking about it a lot recently and I'll be trying to playthrough the exploration stuff rigorously enough that I can spot any elements that feel repetetive over time and try to further flesh them out to avoid this. Some encounter types I've done have some variant elements and random parts but ultimately don't vary hugely, whereas others I've done have been really enjoyable unpredictable.

It's been a fun thing to work on, but at times I do look at the mountains that I'm building with my own concepts and ideas as well as the many awesome ones I've been getting from the Warsim community (especially our discord which has been a hotbed of activity in that department in recent months) and think to myself... Bloody hell

So I'm revising my previous statement estimating this will take 'a few weeks' and pushing the estimate to at least another month I reckon. However if I can keep the pace I'm hoping this can become a seriously juicy new feature to the game :)

Cheers and thanks for your patience!

Huw
ps. Some new screenies

New shrines of weather


I pray for fog


Here we go


Huzzah!


Also chaos weather shrines


With wilder weathers


Prayers unanswered this time... :(


Some new mountains






A hole in the ground?








Another hmm...








Buzzing you say?






Found another buzzing one but this wasn't a tiny nest of bugs... A DEEP HIVE OF MONSTERS!


EEP


Also a sneak peak at one of the 114 variant new encounter types I'm working on, this is the warpart of a foreign emperor!


These are still early screens and there are 100s and 100s more variants and encounter types to come to make random exploration a solid new addition :)
