Today we uploaded a patch that adds spawn points to the game. Right now there is one spawn point in the Abandoned Mine map where you fight skeletons. The addition of a spawn point makes the battle potentially much, much longer. I will need to reduce the size of skeleton armies and other armies that use spawn points in order to account for the extra lances that will show up during battle.
We also fixed a few other problems that became apparent while implementing spawn points. Damage popups and health bars had disappeared from obstacles on the battlefield, for example, and we fixed those.
Now that there is a working example of both strategic capture points and spawn points, we have the opportunity to add a lot of variety to the battles. We will be rolling out updated and varied battle maps in the near future. We also need to fix illusionist attacks, which apparently can still crash the game. And we need to fix a few known bugs related to spawn points, such as new enemy lances not having their team's coat of arms. And we are working on the backlog of minor bugs and desired features as we have time. For now, the big long-term task we will be working on is adding shops and NPCs to all of the late-game towns, including those in Yamatai and the Northern Shores.
We hope to have another update ready in the next day or two.
