General Notes
This patch is mostly bug fixes. However we've also added some additional hotkeys that are working well and a big improvement to our combat animations (they look much more fluid).
What's Releasing Next Week?
New Defensive Buildings
- Outposts
- Wooden Guard Towers
- Stone Guard Towers
- Keeps / Castles
New Feature
- Player Diplomacy Mechanics (Ally / War / Peace)
- Share Line of Sight with Allies
- Non-Aggression with Allied Teams
We really appreciate everyone sending bug reports in and we're excited to show some of the new content as well (including guard towers and castles!). Our diplomacy mechanics are coming along really well too, they will be added very soon.
