Hello all!
Today's testing branch update brings a lot of fixes and improvements to the previous build. This included a full merge with all of the updates expected into the next regular patch including the new mod support system.
The testing branch will now always be ahead of the regular build, so if you want a peek at new features, updates, and fixes. The testing branch is for you. Instructions below.
Test Specific Fixes
- Siege battle - Player defense army no longer starts outside walls.
- Gold and prisoners are correctly loaded after battles.
- New option to reset VOC mode when starting a new game.
- Towns and villages faction will change correctly after won battle.
- Hero battle leveling correctly showing in the campaign map.
Campaign map
- Save message displayed once save is complete. (Needed because on some systems people will not realize it is saving.)
Battle scene
- Fixed issue where units would sometimes spawn in mid-air.
- Fixed issue in the map: Swamp1. retreat position is no longer underwater.
Main Menu
- Fixed error where the horse would appear on the screen when canceling starting a new Veil Of Crows game.

- Option to reset VOC world only added when starting a new VOC game.
- Old reset game button now only resets game settings.
Mod Support
- Can now select if banners overwrite existing banners, or add to current banners.
- Mods are now separated into folders, allowing for the player to select from a list of available mods.
- Custom weapons can now be loaded into the project. .obj files accepted.
- Custom shields can now be loaded into the project. .obj files accepted.
- Custom helmets can now be loaded into the project. .obj files accepted.
Instructions
If you would like to opt into the testing branch and have access to these latest updates:
A) Right click on VOC in your steam library.
B) Select Preferences.

Thank you all for your ongoing support!
