Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
0.623
Next week will continue siege thematic, but before that - bug fixing is coming. Thanks to all players who is using f11 to report various bugs - for small indie games it's very important to have such dedicated players, so thanks you a lot for your activity and participation - this means LOT for the game and its quality, believe me. Full list of changes follows:
CHANGELOG & BUGFIXING

IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - 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 saves compatibility 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 experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
