August Update: rally points, spawn points, smarter AI
Hi everyone! Just as we've tried to keep up with all the patch notes, we'll also try to write a monthly update from now on. This month, the biggest changes were the new map objectives--the rally points, spawn points, and treasure chests that keep battles moving across the map. We also added more-realistic AI that pulls lances back after they've taken too much damage, making the battles even more mobile and dynamic. In addition, we also added new locations, new characters, and more detail in general. And as always, we squashed tons of bugs with your help. We'll take a look at the highlights here. For all the details, you can check the patch notes in the News section of our Steam Community page.

Rally points around the map can give your troops a bonus that may mean the difference between victory and defeat. However, reaching these locations may force you to split up your army, leaving one of your lances cut off and surrounded.

New spawn points for undead and demon armies create new opportunities and challenges. These enemy armies are now smaller at the start of the battle, but if you don't destroy their spawn points quickly, you may find yourself overwhelmed.

New locations and new characters give additional detail to the world and lore of the game.

And they provide necessary services, like allowing you to hire mercenaries or purchase supplies.
New features and new locations like these are helping us to polish Himeko Sutori to the shine we would like to have before our full release. And we added this in addition to all the 13 patch notes' worth of bug fixes this month. We hope to focus much more on additional content next month. And we'll try to keep up all of the patch notes and monthly summaries.
Thank you everyone for your ongoing support for Himeko Sutori. We'll be back with more updates very soon.
