Adventurers,
Just wanted to give a heads up the additional features as discussed for the Fort attacks were added over the weekend.
This included but not limited to:
Ability to click on the army on the map
Army Icon will flash when awaiting a decision so you should be free to continue adventuring without having to watch the armies like a hawk
Forts properly going into "vulnerable" status after diminishing the army. Allowing for you to conquer the fort
A new event for when a fort is unable to be conquered
Rewards for conquering a fort, experience for adventurers in the attack party, gold, and reputation
Adventurers sent with armies can now be killed if the entire army is lost
With this a lot of Update 3 has been completed but before fully moving onto Update 4 I plan to do a major polish pass. This should clean up some random bugs or even just some UI oddities that are currently being seen to fix some remaining issues, so if you see anything odd don't hesitate to throw the bug in the forums. There will be an updated demo as well once the polish pass is done for those who want to try it out again.
The shift to fort attacks being about conquering forts instead of being attacked is mainly due to wanting to really flesh out the end game events where forts and some unannounced other events will start to attack the land and towns, but I'll hold off discussing that for now. The hope is to really bring some of the towns more to life a bit. This will play into the major end game events and choices you pick at the start of the game. Due to this I want to change the plans for Update 4. Update 4 will no longer have the end game events but instead flesh out the remaining character classes so the end game events can really utilize all there is to offer. This means the warlock is entering the fray sooner than originally planned.
