More changes, fixes, and contend added to Tabletop Tavern! Including a big overhaul to flanking & morale as well as testing the new artillery units.
Changes
Updated Freyja's model
Flanking & Morale Overhaul
New indicators above health bar to display when a unit is dealing/taking flanking damage
Attacking units in the flanks now causes a large morale penalty and melee attacks ignore 50% of melee defense, making them 2x as likely to land a hit
Firing into flanks does not impose a morale penalty but does ignore shields
Charge collisions when large units hit small units has been moved from formation contact to unit specific, looks a lot better
Renamed a bunch of Sakura Dynasty units to make the weebs history buffs happy
Berserkers now have throwing axes cause I want them to
Reduced ranged damage by ~11% cause it felt a little too OP compared to cav and infantry. May bump up or down depending on how it feels
Reworked Autoresolve to make it more punishing, reenabled autoresolve for higher difficulties but removed the preview
Renamed Skinwalkers to "Sons Of Fenrir" to better fit the Viking aesthetic
Properly sorted units by tier for custom battle and collections
Improved Ranged unit targeting to make the AI more intelligent
Slightly nerfed enemies in autoresolve
Some sfx improvements
New Additions
Artillery is live on the beta branch! To switch to it go to settings -> properties -> betas and select the beta branch. If you want to wait until it is perfect then stay on main for now.
Added hotkeys for fire at will, guard mode, and melee mode. All remapable in settings
Added a minimum range so berserkers were not negative range in the rain - will add a proper hybrid unit type in the future so that their range wont be affected by rai
New Fire at will and Melee Mode Commands
Toggling off fire at will will prevent your archers from auto targeting when not in guard mode
Melee mode orders units to holster their ranged weapons and fight in melee combat
Added about half a dozen new unit icons to better represent each troop type
Added tons of new sounds to units, they are all a bit yappier when positioning and charging them in battle.
Added a few new icons for rifle and great axe units
