Hooray, the long-awaited update!
This update is the largest of all time. Many problems that you have often complained about have been fixed.
Resistance
Have you always thought about why the city could be captured by a small detachment? It's in the past! Added new resistance mechanics. Now the cities are resisting capture and can defend themselves (however, they will suffer losses)
There are a lot of balance changes in this update.
For example, slingers have become weaker and it is now unprofitable to do only them. Factories now produce specific goods, not just money. It's harder to attract capitalists now. And much more.
Diplomacy has been redone.
Now it has become more difficult to create a federation, and the bot will not agree to a peace treaty if it wins.
A lot of work has been done on optimization.
The game has become much faster. Also, a lot of bugs and crashes were fixed.
You can read the full list of changes below. I hope you will appreciate the update and write a positive review.
Best regards,
Alexander, developer of Kingdom's Life
