Hi and thanks for playing and following Wartile we are very excited to be part of this journey together with you all.
Since the release of Adventure Pack 0.5 we have experienced surprisingly few bugs, allowing us to jump directly into developing some of the planned features.
What are we working on right now.
The merchant
When returning to the Campaign board from a raid, you can visit the merchant to by armor or weapons. It will also be possible to trade your looted but unused equipment into coins.
Reward scene
We have been working with the reward scene where everything you have killed, looted or earned will be show at the end of a battle board. This will help you and your vikings to evaluate the rewards of a hard days work.
New combat system
We have made some changes to the back-end combat system, with the intention to smooth out the combat, avoiding situations where figurines keep blocking each other attacks, dragging out the fight.
The Dark forest battle board
We are working on a new battle board with a new environment theme. It's still work in progress and we cant share much at the moment.
New figurine class
We are also testing a new figurine class that we aim to include into the Wartile universe soon. We can reveal that its a female Völva who knows her ways with the Norse gods.
General feedback on difficulty
As you might know we have been collecting feedback from our audience by reading all posts here in the Community hub, but we have also asked players for more detailed feedback. Since we released Wartile to early access more than 400 players have done so, but we will just share our latest feedback coming from around 42 players.
We are very aware of the difficulty in Wartile, knowing that it’s really hard to find the right balance between the variety of our players. As the graph below show, almost half thinks that the current difficulty is ranging from hard to very hard.
When asking our audience about the difficulty, a large portion thinks its hard, and some even that, its way to hard. We like to think that Wartile is for everyone, and are looking for ways where we can create a good and fun challenge for everyone.
As a reaction to the feedback we have been trying to identify the difficulty spikes at the boards and have tried to adjust the difficulty to be more accessible and fitting the overall learning curve of the player. We will release a small patch very soon, with these changes.
Kind regards
The Wartile Team
