Lords and Ladies!
Our automatic in-game toggle for Halloween assets may or may not have leaked this update 🎃
Nevertheless,
the spooky season is upon us, so either embrace the unique look of
Rising Lords' annual Halloween patch, or decide to leave things as they are by switching to the non-Halloween branch!
To switch branches, go to Rising Lords in your Steam Library, press the gear icon and select 'Properties', go to 'Betas' and select 'no-halloween' from the drop down menu.
In addition to the visual changes, you can look forward to some bug fixes and improvements. As always, thank you for your continued input here on Steam and on our
Community Discord! 🖤

[h3]Some AI changes for very small maps:[/h3]
- Added reckless land grabs for small maps where the AI player only has a single region. This will break up stalemates on small maps with the same resources in each region.
- Added AI to bypass maximum building restrictions on maps of 4 regions or less, but only if there is a region with more, or equal structures.
- Removed AI allowing any army strength to attack neighbors in maps of 4 regions or less.
- Added AI to clear fields on maps of 4 regions or less, even if their personality doesn't want to.
- Added Aggressive AI to no longer deal with beggars by mustering an army on maps of 4 regions or less. Now it builds, which is the default.
- Added stables to be built on maps of 4 regions or less without having need for them.
