WHAT'S NEXT
I've been cracking on with the combat update for quite a while now and things are going well. I'm currently in the process of creating special events for different races and groups when starting in battle. Demigods might levatate down to the battlefield, goblins might arrive and throw a volley of stones, zombies might scream and shamble forward, Draconians might shoot fire at their enemies, and witches might cast some kind of spell to weaken their opponents. There are so far about 60 different events unique to different races with plans for at least 100+ more relating to certain prefixes.
Here are some screenshots of new events
Those must be some sharp pebbles
How rude
I ain't afraid of no many-eyed ghosts
So magic is your game eh?
I'd run if I saw Iron Shadow Giants on the horizon
It's a big pile of work but I'd very much like the game to interact specially with different prefixes and race types as I think the more it does the more unique each batch of random kingdoms you get will become. Still very early days on the combat stuff but I'm happy to be making progress into it.
Cheers and hope everyone is ok!
