Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!

Todays update will bring to Kingdoms possibility to destroy already build buildings. I know, that many of you wanted this feature, it was discussed many time in the community, so here were are. Player, being leader of the settlement, can destroy every building in this settlement - exept well, notice board and common house. The mechanic is pretty much the same as for destroying bandits lairs - equip torch and use "sale/owner paper" on the building to destroy it. Speaking of bandits settlements. I saw a thread in the community, that many of you can't find all the bandits sometime to burn lair down - it's time to fix it. When lair have bandits alive, player with Traveller perk can hunt them down after pressing X (default) and kill - bantits alive positions will be marked. Alongside i've fixed some issue in AI scripts, when these fellows coud stuck at place, use wrong coordinates for walking etc. There are still a lot of work in this direction to be done, feel free to use in-game bug-reporter (F11) to help me to catch more bugs and make Kingdoms better with every update - there are still MANY to come.

IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter - it will help development a lot.
2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, i try to make save compability for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to expierence KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, unbuggy and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
