Comments from the development team:
Denis Poprykin (project manager) has commented the changes in the mechanics of sieges:
"Anyone can destroy someone else's stone walls and buildings, the only limiting factor was a long (8 hours) delay the construction of siege engines. This has resulted to the fact that players do not receive any protection, it's not difficult to find the 8-hour time when the owner is not in the game.
In version 0.8.22, we have removed a long construction of siege engines (now 10 minutes) and made "hour of siege" once a week (only at this time, you can use siege engines). This led to a more active part in the siege as a defenders and the attackers. But still there was a problem when the defender could miss the siege for some reason, and return to the game when his ownership completely destroyed during the siege. Therefore, in the version 0.8.23, we have implemented a new mechanic. Now, player's dominium can not be completely destroyed during the sieges.After dominium received last hit, it becomes broken, and all of the locks on the doors and containers stop working, that is, the base becomes vulnerable to looting, but it can be repaired and restored.
Observing the course of the siege, we also have concluded that it is necessary to review the characteristics of siege weapons and reconfigure durability of the walls and buildings, order to the siege became more active and interesting, what has been done in the version 0.8.23."
Michael Ochnev (art director) told about visual changes in the game:
"All sprites of the game have undergone color correction and 3D models of global illumination has been changed to a more uniform and appropriate.
Originally the game was conceived in the style of Dark Fantasy, in the dark tones similar like Diablo. However, we have not dared to take this step, taking into account the fact that the games market is replete with acid colors and the audience is accustomed to such color schemes. As a result, the first concepts of the game looked like this:
At different stages of the project development have worked different artists, which naturally increased the color hysteria going on in the game. When preparing for the celebration of Halloween'16, I had the idea to radically transform the game, relegating the color scheme exactly as originally planned. Became apparent that the game began to look much more interesting. Was decided mute the brightness of outlier elements. All sprites have been adjusted to the same color palette. Missing glare of 3D models. On the whole, the picture is no longer hurts your eyes by different brightness and combine colors."
