GOLEMS REWORKED (4 features… Or 36.3 billion)

After looking through all the face generation systems in game and ranking them by total faces they can output, Golems were at the bottom of the list with a measly 7 million possible faces. I've wanted to rework them for a while so I created some samples and completely remade the system from the ground up. Now the new Golems have 36.3 billion possible faces!

Here's the list of in-game face generators and their respective total number of faces that can be generated - https://i.imgur.com/1AL9Aay.png

* Remade Golem faces and scrapped the old system and it's 7 million golems
* Added 36.3 billion new Golem faces

DEATH SOUND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (4 features)

The way the death sound system in the settings was laid out was confusing, I've tried to improve it and make it clearer. I still don't recommend using it but I don't like deleting features that could be optional so it's still there. For those who don't know it's a system that gives a death sound effect to each dead unit in battle, unfortunately this doesn't work well and immensely slows battles down and delivers choppy half-cut sounds.

* Added a new sub menu in settings for the deathsound system feature

Deservant of a section of it's own, trawling through Goblinwood as part of my Wildwood review I found plenty of things in need of fix or improvement here.

EVERYTHING ELSE (4 features)

This section actually has a number of cool features that didn't fit anywhere else. There's a feature I added a long while ago where defeating kingdoms can form refugee camps though it didn't occur to me until recently how rare or even non-existant seeming this was. I've looked into it further and discovered that kingdoms only have a chance of forming a refugee group if they are destroyed by someone other than the player, now that's been remedied. Among other things here all goblin throne room visitors will now show you how much gold you'll get for enslaving them if goblin slavery is legal.

* Added refugee kingdoms can spawn when players invade last land of independent kingdom
* Made option to sell throne room visiting goblin to the goblin slaver not shows in advance how much gold that's worth to you
* Changed kingdom origin text for slaver option to try and be more clear that you're leading an army of enslaved not free slaves

Warsim 0.8.1.7 (Slave Revolt Origin and much more, 117 features)

Hey everyone,

So another week of successful clearing through big backlogs as well as some more playtesting myself to find bugs and areas to improve. This update has many different improvements all around and lots of new features that I hope you all enjoy!

NEW WAY OF DOING DIFFICULTY (4 features)

Well it's actually the old way, before a background difficulty scale was added that made enemies recruit more and generally be stronger and larger the difficulty used to pretty much soley mean what your starting resources were and nothing more. On the suggestion of u/Ubercharge1 from our reddit community I've added new game difficulty choices for playing default difficulty but with the starting resources of each choice.

* Added new debug mode 26 - Insane mode resources but increased background difficulty off (credit u/Ubercharge1)

SLAVES RISE UP (2 features)

This has been suggested multiple times by people who wanted to start the game as a freer-of-slaves, well now you can. Choosing this origin starts you off destroying the slavers fort and leading your ex-slave army to forming a kingdom!

* Added new kingdom origin start 'Slaver revolt' Start with destroyed slaver fort, ex-slave freed army, +10 public opinion (credit Multiple suggesters)
* Added chance of slaver revolt kingdom origin when you choose random origin

THINK OF THE CHILDREN (24 features)

No matter how many children you drop out of trap doors, there are always more who visit your throne room asking for money. No matter how many you give money to the odds of more coming is low. Now there will be a background tracker keeping a note of this, if you are horrible to young folk visiting your throne room you will find a lot less of them or maybe never see them. Treat them well and more and more will come!

MERCENARY CONVERTS IMPROVED (5 features)

Defender pointed out that the ability to freely convert your 100 battlescore troops to be members of merc groups with 190 battlescore units is a little exploity, now I've added a system to at least provide some growing costs depending on how advanced the merc units are.

* Added new system of paying to convert soldiers into merc groups with much more powerful units (credit Defender)
* Merc groups with higher than 200 battlescore units cost 6 gold per unit to convert (credit Defender)

Hey everyone,

Continuing on from the last few updates I've been cutting away at my immeidate to-do list, we've got new vassal options, new tournament control, balanced with bluetrii fruit, and a fair lot of other stuff too. I'm also currently looking into sharing Warsim via the Imgur community and doing more research for marketing and promotion so that when we finally reach a release for Warsim out of early access I'll have a better grasp of what to do!

LET THERE BE PEACE (5 features)

Prior to this, vassals could be commanded to make war against a certain faction, or ordered to make peace with everyone. Now you can also ask them to make peace with a specific faction instead of all of them. Their reaction to this request may vary however.

* Added new option to force a vassal to make peace with a specific faction
* Reworked text for telling a vassal to make war with someone
* Added intro to requesting peace explaining the ins and outs
* Added 15 possible random reactions to telling a vassal to make peace depending on leader personality
* Added ability to choose not to order a vassal to declare war on anyone and exit out of attack menu (previously no escape option)

TOURNAMENT IMPROVEMENTS (6 features)

* Added new kingdom type 'Satrapy' with ruler 'Satrap' and lord 'Warlord' available for Civ level 4 or above

BLUETRII BALANCES (11 features)

We had several Bluetrii fruit related unbalances recently so I've tried my best to rebalance them in game and remove some clever exploits. While I was looking through the Bluetrii farm I made some changes and improvements too.

In the Blackmarkets docks random ships appear each year, one of those is the long serpent, a vessel filled with demon fighting warriors who love a good drink. Previously when you met the crew of this ship they gave a dialogue inviting you to join them for a drink, but this was just text… now you can actually drink with them when invited. I've also improved as much as I can to the ship and its inhabitants.

So this update was going to be a general update, then it was looking more like it was going to be a throne room update, then a little while after the militia master plans popped up and got added, so now it's a mix of the three. Lots of new content and gameplay changes here!

MILITIA MASTERS EXTENDED (40 features)

Previously the militia, your main source of peasant hired recruits and sometimes a valuable defense assistant had little in the way of randomisation. The militia unit price would vary game to game and change over time and the leader of the militia always had a unique face and name but beyond that there was very little in the way of unique change. Now there are 20 different traits that the militia leaders can have, these vastly impact the militias functionality and variation.

* Added new system of random traits for militia masters
* Added ability to see militia masters trait from the diplomacy screen under militia
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Recruiter - +10% more militia peasants recruited'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Recruiter+ - +25% more militia peasants recruited'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Recruiter++- +50% more militia peasants recruited'

* Added Militia Leader trait 'Cheap+ - 3 gold per unit, 25% less recruits'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Cheap++ - 1 gold per unit, half recruits'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Free - free units, half recruits'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Bulked - +5 gold to unit cost, +10 Battlescore'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Bulked+ - +10 gold to unit cost, +20 Battlescore'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Bulked++ - +15 gold to unit cost, +30 Battlescore'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Workers - Cannot hire militia units, they earn 1 gold each per year for you'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Soldierly - Hired militia units are soldiers not peasants'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Public - Militia spread the word, +1 public op per turn'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Low Barrier- 2x as many recruits, -10 Battlescore'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Grubber - +1 to militia cost per year (max of 45 gold)'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Grubber+ - +2 to militia cost per year (max of 45 gold)'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Terrible - only 1-2 recruits per year'
* Added system to prevent new leader copying old leaders trait accidentally
* Added 1/15 chance end of turn event with new leader
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader found dead'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader missing'

* Fixed text bug in militia upgrade list
* Fixed text bug in militia introduction screen
* Added new screen for disbanding militia from diplomacy screen
* Added new screen for orderign militia to defend
* Added new screen for ordering militia to attack

THRONE ROOM EXPANSION (24 features)

I recently wrote myself a little guidance tool for adding new throne room encounters as the system is very big at the moment and with Warsim there are so many different systems to remember in those 500'000 lines of game code that I sometimes forget. With my new guidance I set out to add a bundle of new throne room encounters to refresh things a little bit!

* Added new throne room encounter 'man wants to join army cause his cousin did'
* Added new throne room encounter 'man wants to join army to avenge recently dead father'
* Added new throne room encounter 'man wants to join army as seer in his dream told him to'
* Added new throne room encounter 'man wants to join army as its a family tradition'
* Added new throne room encounter 'man wants to join army to impress a girl from his village'

Hope you're all doing good!

Warsim 0.8.2.1 (Natural disasters and savage recognition, 54 features)

Hey everyone,

So this is quite a general update, we've got 2 new throne room encounters, recognition for defeating the Wildwood savages, better natural disasters and barren land recovery, improvements to village champions, improvements to the champion hire system and a bunch more stuff!

SAVAGE RECOGNITION (6 features)

When wiping out the up to 4 savage locations in Wildwood, once destroyed there is no change in the responses from the other local savage hating factions, now they recognise you differently if you've wiped the savages out! Cheers Defender

* Added new tracker for if you've wiped savages out in Wildwood (credit Defender)

Bgax of Goblinwood recognising the savages deaths - https://i.imgur.com/4uuzsb1.png

NATURAL DISASTERS & BARREN LAND (12 features)

The systems involving barren land have been a bit of an afterthought until now. There are also random disaster events that have a 1 in 75 chance of happening each turn, previously these were just small bits of text in your end of turn report but now they are full on events with their own screens and sound effects.

* Added new special event screen for random hurricane with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random magical cloud with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random landslide with sfx

An act of a higher being - https://i.imgur.com/4Nwt6vc.png

CHAMPION HIRE COLOUR SYSTEM (1 feature)

I added this system somewhat whimfully, I was hiring a champion from this screen but felt it would be much easier if there was a visual stimulus showing the range of champions and their values. Initially I went with a smaller range of colours but expanded it and am happy with the results!

* Added a new colour system breaking down the higher and lower skilled champions on the giant 16 champion hire list
* Dark red for champions with under 50 battlescore
* Red for champions under 75 battlescore
* Dark grey for champions under 100 battlescore
* Grey for champions under 150 battlescore
* Dark green for champions under 175 battlescore
* Green for champions under 200 battlescore
* White for champions 200 battlescore and beyond

This is what it was it used to look like - https://i.imgur.com/h5FcBmY.png

This is the new one - https://i.imgur.com/VemrBZd.png

A pair of decent ones but not a promising line up - https://i.imgur.com/QBTh1gD.png

Oof nothing good but definitely some bad choices - https://i.imgur.com/ODOZnQ0.png

There he is, Neal the Legend, 200 battlescore - https://i.imgur.com/ztwZLKI.png

VILLAGE CHAMPION IMPROVEMENTS (6 features)

It's a small change but a nice one for continuity thanks to a commentor called Clown on Steam. Now when you compete in a village champion battle, defeating the champion will drop the village population by one. If village populations drop to below 10 people then no new champions will spawn, this is to avoid a village being beaten into exctinction by annual duels.

* Added -1 villager notification when defeating champion of Rihhm (credit Clown)
* Added -1 villager notification when defeating champion of Smallhaven (credit Clown)
* Defeating village champion now knocks down village population by 1 (credit Clown)
* Made village champions not respawn if population is below 10 in the village (credit Clown)
* Fixed text bug with already fought village champion text in Rihhm
* Fixed text bug with no one to challenge village champion text in Rihhm

A village champion defeated - https://i.imgur.com/2HGIfuv.png

ORC NAME IMPROVEMENTS (2 features)

There are now 465 total orc names in game, a nice little expansion to ensure they never feel samey!

* Added 61 new orc names
* Removed 3 duplicate orc names

A FEW ENCOUNTERS MORE (2 features)

A pair of new encounters added, the more the merrier!

* Added new throne room encounter 'crazy person accuses you not being you'
* Added new throne room encounter 'Silent man'

What the hell are you staring at!? - https://i.imgur.com/z42Vlkq.png

BUGFIXES (18 features)

Quite a few bugs fixed here, thanks for the reports guys!

* Fixed Gauntlet of Frost purchase text error (credit licker98)
* Fixed emissary killed after successful diplomacy reaction screen text colour bug
* Fixed text split bug in owned wild north merc post
* Fixed 2 text bugs in Galbak the grunter turn around event

* Fixed Goblinwood typo when entering throne room
* Fixed issue with assassination debug option in independent kingdoms
* Fixed graphic colouring bug for goblinstone encampment
* Fixed incorrect screen shown when defeating goblinstone encampment
* Fixed incorrect screen shown when defeating old ruined village encampment

EVERYTHING ELSE (7 features)

Lots of different stuff here, highly civil races will never have stupid leaders again, now when a new militia leader rises up you'll be able to see how the cost of a peasant has changed and xenophobic kingdoms have a new response screen.

* Added new human name 'Byamba'
* Made kingdoms with a civilisation level of highly civil or more don't have stupid leaders
* Added a new system that shows how much gold the militia unit hire cost has changed whenever a new militia leader arises
* Reworked soldier loses bet throne room encounter text (credit u/DeplorableCaterpilla)
* Added new indicator of gained soldiers and population drop when recruiting from Hunters Rest
* Added new screen for diplomacy action blocked by nations Xenophobia
* Added screen for destroying old ruined village savage camp in wildwood

Now instead of a small string of text this is what pops up if a certain action of diplomacy is blocked by the opposing kingdoms xenophobia - https://i.imgur.com/Tuc6KT1.png

Another small but helpful change, now you are informed what the new price is when the militia price is changed by new leadership (or in this case stayed the same). - https://i.imgur.com/mpKsnNH.png

WHAT'S NEXT

So I'm getting pretty finished with leftover smaller things to code, I'm hoping to get started with overhauling the end of turn report from being a wall of really hard to digest text and find a nicer alternative, because it really can be a valuable overview for whats gone on but it's not shown well.

Hope you're all doing good!

Cheers

SATYR HORNS (2 features… or 72.2 billion)

SLAVE REVOLT ENHANCED (16 features)

Slave revolts felt a little bit flat before, now they are more functional and can be interacted with more in the diplomacy screen. You'll also be unable to do any diplomacy with the slave revolt while you still have slaves in your employ.

A CHANCE OF STUPID (5 features)

After the last release Liang Qi mentioned that it would be much better if instead of highly civil races having 0 chance of stupid leaders, there was still a chance even if rare! A very good point, the idea of things still being random enough that things aren't always clear cut is a very good thing to have! Great suggestion.

* Added 1000/1 chance of Max Civ level (Pan-Dimensional) Kingdom ruler being stupid (credit Liang Qi)
* Added 500/1 chance of 9 Civ level (Godlike) Kingdom ruler being stupid (credit Liang Qi)

WHAT'S NEXT

So I'm hoping to move on to the end of turn update soon, but before that I may quickly try and develop a small gnome village to expand the number of places players can encounter gnome insult battles, we'll see how it goes!

Hope everyone's doing alright! :)

Cheers

Warsim 0.8.2.3 (Hidden Gnome Village, 35 features)

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone's doing good!

**Warsim 0.8.2.4 (Tournament Control Update, 15 features)**

Hey everyone,

So this is just a small update while I'm settling in to my new place, we've got a rework of tournaments, a few new possible intro menus, and some fixes and changes.

TOURNAMENT REWORK (8 features)

A lot of people have requested this, most recently u/Snipe5000 and rightly so, previously tournaments with 32 fighters took absolutely ages to watch as you HAD to watch every single fight, every single gate rising intro. It's not fun if you're not very interested in all of the fights taking place. Now new controls have been added that allow you to skip anything you don't want to see, from wanting to watch only what you've bet on, to skipping entire phases of the tournaments just to see the semi-finals and final battle. Several other bugs and tweaks are also included!

* Added new graphic for larger tournaments second phases
* Fixed Grand tournaments being referred to as 32-man tournaments in most phases
* Fixed semi finals in large tournaments being incorrectly referred to as third stage
* Fixed grand tournament not counting as tournament done and allowing more tournaments to be done
* Added ability to skip fights during tournaments
* Added ability to skip entire phases of the tournament
* Added ability to only watch fights you have a stake in
* Added ability to watch all fights as usual

- The new menu before a fight in a tournament - https://i.imgur.com/mfexb44.png

AETHYRSIX'S MENU (2 features)

For those who don't know, u/aethyrsix as he's known on reddit is the creator of the original Satyr face in game and a very accomplished Ascii artist. He's recently come up with some new menu concepts that are too great not too include in the game, now there's a 1 in 5 chance you'll see his designs on the main menu.

* Added 1/5 chance of Aethyrsix's larger menu design appearing on Warsim main menu (credit u/Aethyrsix)
* Added 1/5 chance of Aethyrsix's smaller menu design appearing on Warsim main menu (credit u/Aethyrsix)

BUGFIXES (3 features)

Thanks for the bug reports guys! Always appreciated :)

* Fixed Crown of Mai rebel text when slave origin chosen (credit Maboy)
* Fixed refusing to hire a champion found when exploring doesn't work (credit wuhugm)
* Fixed court musician replacing already existent musician sends you back to wrong menu (credit wuhugm)

EVERYTHING ELSE (2 features)

Some new gnome names and a funny mini event involving Biggleroll in the Gnome Village.

* Added 1 in 15 chance of funny random event when playing Biggleroll in tavern (Bongleroll) (credit Cat)
* Added 5 new gnome names 'Zoggy, Toop, Friggle, Peep, Neeb'

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm still getting sorted out moving in but next week I hope to get working on the end of turn report, I've got some things planned for a rework and an extra feature I'm hoping to add to it.

Hope everyone's doing alright :)

Cheers

Hey guys,

So I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Warsim community, I certainly never expected to be working full time making a text-based kingdom management game in 2020.

Game development has been a dream job since early childhood and I never figured it actually possible just a nice idea. Now seeing all the comments, the reviews, the great ideas and reported bugs, I'm always humbled by it.

For the longest time I couldn't believe people were interested in the game, it was released on itch.io for free in 2016 and a small number of people downloaded and played it. Occasionally I'd even get the odd donation from players which always blew my mind. Warsim was a much more primitive and unpolished game back then (You can play the 2015 version by going to your Warsim directory and finding the Extras folder and then the Warsim Classic Edition (2015) folder)

After a few years it ended up on steam, since then the game has grown far beyond mine or probably anyone else's expectation with us recently passing 22'000 copies sold since late 2017 when the game was released.

I can't thank you guys enough, I've put my heart and soul into this game but it's so filled with the help, feedback, and talent of many others who I owe a lot of gratitude to.

So in summary, Thank you everyone. I love you guys and I will keep working to make this game the best it possibly can be as we approach a possible early access release in 2021. The game is selling enough copies that I can more or less sustain myself while I develop so I'm not rushing anything.

Cheers everyone <3

Hey Everyone,

So I'm glad to finally get this one out, it's been a grind to get through it but I've gone through every single end of turn event in the whole game and reworked them all, created several new report systems, totally reworked how the demon horde works, as well as a number of other tweaks and fixes. Thank you all for the continued support and I hope you enjoy the update!

END OF TURN REPORT UPDATE (8 features)

This was the primary focus of the update though as a result of this many things were added and changed as per the categories below. The main changes are the convoluted and disorganised end of turn report we're all used to is now customisable and much more legible!

* Added new end of turn report choice screen (three reports, simple, advance, custom)
* Added simple turn report showing summarised report
* Added advanced turn report showing all events of the year
* Added custom report where parts can be enabled/disabled/customised
* Added ability to choose a report to see each turn instead of choice

* Added new end of turn report note for demonic wipeout thunderstorm event
* Added less chance of soldiers fleeing demons end of turn event if you have high public opinion

NEW END OF TURN EVENTS (2 features)

While working through things I added a few new possible events at the end of the turn

* Added rare 1 in 100 chance of undead spawn event (between 150-3150 undead)
* Added rare event of loyal warrior winning a peasant tournament in your honour giving +2 public opinion

END OF TURN TWEAKS (18 features)

While trawling through all the end of turn events in the game there were a few things that needed to be fixed or tweaked or updated.

* Reworked interest in end of turn report to show total bank balance
* Added indicator of how much staff skill is after improvement in turn report
* Made vampire debug mode it's own section on end of turn report
* Reduced cost per goblin head of Goblin scourge law from 10 gold to 4 gold
* Reworded Blackmarket tax end of turn event to be clearer
* Added info of how many miners returned in mine dried up event
* Made end of turn units fleeing to and from rebellion reports show actual troop changes
* Made overflowing prison resulting in released prisoners increase bandit level by 1
* Added visible public opinion change for statue of yourself events in end of turn report
* Added notification of how many properties you are recieving income from in Darkdale
* Reworked independent kingdom getting civil event text (credit Cat)
* Added notification in turn report when slavers fort is destroyed in slave revolt

* Made all goblins join you from goblin clan goblin staff event show how many goblins join
* Fixed layout bug with Krut and Erak troop spy reports
* Removed obsolete end of turn bar that says 'Aslona stats'

DEMON HORDE REWORK (12 features)

One big part of the end of turn update that I passed was the demon attack event, each turn the demon horde if active would find a random living faction (more likely the more land it has) and would attack them, be it killing a small number of troops, destroying a single trade caravan and losing them some gold, or rarely… destroying a territory. In hindsight this made the demon horde incredibly weak in everything other than defence, this world destroying army barely did anything when active, well now that has changed.

It's been in my plans for quite some time to overhaul it and as it was linked to the end of turn report I figured now would be as good a time as any. The demons now have up to three attacks per turn when active, the more attacks they do the more divided the attack force is, so 3 attacks from a horde of 1500 demons would make each force 500 strong. These demonic groups will no longer pester caravans or kill small numbers of peasants, each of the up to 3 attacks per turn will always be invasions. The demons will fight with the defending forces and try to kill them all and ruin the land. Now when the demon army rises they will shake up the world, killing and destroying factions and causing problems for everyone but more so for larger factions.

* Added demon horde get up to 3 attacks per turn dividing their troops by how many attacks
* Added special screen for demon horde attacking your lands
* Added special screen for demon horde destroying your last land
* Added special screen for demon horde destroying another faction
* Added 1 in 15 chance that factions will abandon a land rather than defend against demons
* Added 6 dynamic possible screens for demon horde pushed back depending on how many demons they've lost
* Added -10 bandit level if demons destroy Bandit Horde
* Added -3 bandit level if demons destroy a minor bandit gang
* Fixed northern hall bug that prevented demon horde from doing anything
* Added 5 random graphics for ruined land at the hands of demons
* Added code to prevent demons attacking pro-demon kingdoms
* Added code to show demonic attacks as good events if you're a demonic king

TROOP RECRUITMENT REWORKED (12 features)

While working through the end of turn stuff I had a chance to review the troop recruitment system and buffed everyone to be able to keep up with you. Normal modifiers to recruitment for these groups still apply but now by default and even more with higher difficulties these groups will all recruit much faster.

* Increased default rebel recruitment from 0-10 troops per land to 0-20
* Increased rebel recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level
* Increased default bandit horde recruitment from 0-8 troops per land to 0-18
* Increased bandit horde recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level
* Increased default Krut recruitment from 0-8 troops per land to 0-26
* Increased Krut recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level
* Increased default Erak recruitment from 0-8 troops per land to 0-26
* Increased Erak recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level
* Increased default Minor bandit recruitment from 0-8 troops per land to 0-14
* Increased Minor bandit recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level
* Increased default independent kingdom recruitment from 0-10 troops per land to 0-15
* Increased independent kingdom recruitment max per land +5 per difficulty level

PLAGUE REPORTS (19 features)

A dusty box that can be bought for a princely sum in the artifact market can be the undoing of the world, the plague box has been in the game for a long time but until recently hasn't been revisited in a long while. In this update I've tried to make sure it covered all newly added units and locations (who were previously immune to the plague) as well as adding better screens for the plague related events. Now the plague has it's own section in the end of turn report.

* Reworked tournament prices (credit Notfox)
* 8-man tournament is now 3000 gold instead of 10000 gold

Warsim 0.8.2.7 (A pile of new content and fixes, 73 features)

Hey Everyone,

So I've been in the middle of another house move recently but had this update loaded ready to go save for a few things for a few days now. There is no major focus but lots of new content and fixes and reworks.

MYSTERY AND WONDER (3 features)

When you start a new game and are told of the races in your world there is a random slightly different one of ten different rock and water images picked, they aren't great. I've replaced them with a new shared set of 20 random background graphics used for discovering new lands, I've reworked them and added plenty more for variety so that now it makes the introduction screen a bit different.

* Reworked new game world full of mystery and wonder screen graphic
* Added 10 new alternate graphics for new game world and discovering new lands screens
* Reworked several new game world and discovering new lands screens

One of the new intro screens - https://i.imgur.com/vIfUYDg.png

And another - https://i.imgur.com/MRHm5iF.png

And one more - https://i.imgur.com/lGsV5PG.png

And another for luck - https://i.imgur.com/0eKcKBf.png

Last one I promise - https://i.imgur.com/6acu75T.png

Oh go on, one more - https://i.imgur.com/dTUO9MP.png

RIHHMPROVEMENTS (11 features)

See what I did there… Rihhm-provem… ah nevermind, so while working on the wiki page for the village of Rihhm I found several things that needed fixing or weren't fully completed.

* Added +10 relation with Rihhm from starting trade route
* Added -10 relation with Rihhm for ending trade route
* Added -5 relation with Rihhm from demanding tribute
* Added +5 relation with Rihhm for ending tribute
* Made it so Rihhm elder will not speak to you if relation is lower than -5 instead of lower than 0

* Fixed random quest text incorrectly referring to Rihhm and Smallhaven
* Fixed bug when attacking Uktak village after having beaten Rihhm villages champion causing unexpected issues with the Arena
* Fixed Elder Atik angry introduction text bug
* Fixed tie in snail race screen
* Fixed tie in snail race with bet cancelled screen

New relation change effects with Rihhm - https://i.imgur.com/L6lsidA.png

SMALLHAVEN FIXES (9 features)

Not as catchy as the above header but I also had a few things to fix and improve in Smallhaven!

* Fixed text bug in Smallhaven trade route cancel screen
* Added indicator for trade route started and ended with smallhaven
* Added indicator for tribute started and ended with Smallhaven
* Added +10 relation with Smallhaven from starting trade route
* Added -10 relation with Smallhaven for ending trade route

* Fixed 2 text bugs in tribute cancellation text with Smallhaven
* Fixed 3 text bugs in tribute starting text with Smallhaven

MILITIA EXPLOIT REVOKED (12 features)

So u/TheGamingDictator brought to my attention a pretty surprising exploit that I'd totally missed. After the update to militia leaders there were 20 possible perks militia leaders could have, there were four that over-ride normal militia peasant hire prices to reduce the cost to either 5 gold, 3 gold, 1 gold, or completely free of charge. However what I clearly didn't consider is that the price over-ride only happened during the buying process and for selling peasants back to the militia it just showed half of the non-overriden price meaning you could be getting 100 free peasants, selling them back for 10 gold each and then getting those 100 back again from free, repeatedly for an infinite horde of wealth. Needless to say it's now fixed along with several other changes.

* Added Militia leaders face and name to hiring units in troop hire screen
* Added Militia leaders face and name to selling units in troop hire screen
* Fixed free militia units description text bug
* Fixed Terrible Leader militia perk incorrectly refering to helper militia leader perk
* Fixed 'Militia master hands takes the gold' text bug in militia hire screen text
* Fixed Exploit for getting peasants for free from militia leader and selling them back for profit repeatedly (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Fixed Exploit for getting peasants worth 1, 3, or 5 gold and selling them back for way more repeatedly exploitable (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added new alternate screen for giving troops to the militia for free (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added peasants being sold at 1 gold each cannot be sold back only given for free (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added peasants being sold at 5 gold are sold back at 3 gold each instead of exploit level cost (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added peasants being sold at 3 gold are sold back at 1 gold each instead of exploit level cost (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added alternate selling screen when selling troops to militia via militia diplomacy screen

Now you'll see the Militia leaders face when buying and selling troops to him - https://i.imgur.com/Uauo6JQ.png

A new option when trying to sell peasants to a militia that sells them for 1 gold (you can only give them for free) - https://i.imgur.com/Jl6cbZf.png

* Added new joke 'Magic Bee'

* Reworked 4 dialogues for Gboo of the Human's Toe Tavern

* Reworked bank interest report in end of turn report to be separate from normal gained gold (credit [TGD]weirdoo)

Hey guys,

I'm putting this out there Warsim is currently 40% off on steam and itch.io for the winter sale.

You can find the game on sale on steam here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/6…Aslona/?beta=0

You can find the game on sale on itch.io here - https://itch.io/s/43488/warsim-winter-sale-40-off

Warsim is a deep and rich text based kingdom management game unlike anything else. Complete with charming ASCII graphics, navigate the millions of different procedurally generated races, events and areas with a huge emphasis on player choice. Don't let its look fool you, there is depth in every direction.

A bigger breakdown of some of it's actual features are as follows:

* A huge explorable world with 100s of unique locations including hidden cities, giant markets filled with tons of stuff to do and lots of randomisation and tons more
* A throne room where you are tasked with talking to and dealing with the people of your realm, depending on your kingdom size it could be 10 people or 1000s. You will encounter gamblers, bards, tricksters, goblins, mercenaries, common folk, beggars and tons of others froma pool of 1000s and 1000s of different dynamic encounters.
* A procedural fantasy race system that has been in development for years through a mix of my own work and lots of help from the Warsim community and now can produce exactly 94,887,852 possible races. Which pretty much ensures all the races seen in your gameworld will never been seen again. You might find Seafaring Goblins, Fire Orcs, Eyeless Elves, Orange Ogretaurs, Inbred Trench Dwarves, and millions more races you couldn't imagine!
* A procedural face generator with over 100 Quadrillion possible faces that are unique and distinct race by race!
* A dynamic arena in your kingdom where heroes rise and fall, there is much you can do here if you own it including hosting tournaments and setting rules. It can also be found in many states and sizes
* Tons of mini games such as snail racing, a mini dnd game, animal pit fighting and at least 10+ others you can find in taverns and locations around the world, or you can hire a gamemaster to play them directly from your throne room.
* There are also absolutely abysmally terrible procedurally generated bards, including Goblin Drummers, Orc Grunters, Gnome Whistlers, and Vampyric lute players. I'm not going to pretend they are good but they are funny!
* The ability to send your men to find monsters from the depths of the world you can train and fight with other monsters, with 27'000 possible monsters and 45 different opponents. (this feature was player suggested)
* The ability to get absolutely hammered in one of the 15+ taverns of the world, my personal favourite being goblin taverns due to their 'vomit holes'
* And honestly a lot more than this

The game has been in development for 5 years and still has a ton more work to go, it has sold over 24'000 copies on itch.io and steam and has been supported by audiogames members the whole time.

The game is usually $7.99 but is reduced to $4.79 as it's 40% off

I'm happy to answer any questions you guys may have

Cheers guys

QUESTING KNIGHTS AND PUBLC FAVOUR (7 features)

In a report TJ mentioned that despite having a low public opinion knights were coming to quest for him in the throne room, checking the code I could see that regardless of public opinion questing knight encounters would pop up in the throne room. After some thought I've added a new system that will change how frequently these encounters are shown up, only appearing as frequent as they do currently if you have 100 public opinion, otherwise they will become a lot rarer.

* Questing knight encounters are 1/40 odds of happening if public opinion is below 0
* Questing knight encounters are 1/20 odds of happening if public opinion is below 10
* Questing knight encounters are 1/15 odds of happening if public opinion is below 20
* Questing knight encounters are 1/10 odds of happening if public opinion is below 40
* Questing knight encounters are 1/6 odds of happening if public opinion is below 60
* Questing knight encounters are 1/3 odds of happening if public opinion is below 100
* Questing knight encounters are 1/1 odds of happening if public opinion is 100 (same as currently)

NEW NAMES (2 features)

A new suggestion for a pair of gnomes names as well as another review username inspired set of human names, thanks Calasnetski!

REFUGEE CAMP IMPROVEMENTS (3 features)

Occasionally when destroyed, independent kingdoms will form refugee camps that can be interacted with through diplomacy. When destroying them previously you got nothing. Now destroying them results in some loot, the final possessions of the damned.

* Added between 1-7 loot chests discoverable when destroying independent kingdom refugee camps
* Fixed refugee camp screen still open even if all camps are destroyed
* Fixed ability to enter refugee camp number when option not displayed to go there when it's empty

Gimme that sweet imp loot - https://i.imgur.com/pmg7ykx.png

ARREST THOSE GOBLINS (10 features)

For a lot of throne room encounters involving goblins, if you ban goblin slavery you just have a blocked out option saying you can't enslave them as goblin slavery is banned… but what about jail? Now this blocked out option will be replaced by the to the dungeons option allowing you to jail them goblins as you please!

* Added new system with modified versions of goblin enslaved reactions for goblins being arrested

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm currently spending most days now working through my combat update work and spending off days working on clearing bug reports. Since jumping back into combat update stuff I've added a new system for testing battles and fixed a number of bugs with my last build of the new combat update stuff, namely an issue where random units would appear in battles they weren't supposed to be in and issues with the way event text was written for events where the player was under attack.

I'm slowly but surely working my way in and hopefully can keep the momentum up and start getting the combat stuff to a point where it can be partially released while I finish it off. I still estimate it to be potentially months and months of work and as it progresses these updates may slow down or stop temporarily… anything to finally get this bloody update out though.

Waffling aside, I hope everyone is good, Thanks for reading and supporting the game!

Cheers

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 - https://i.imgur.com/BuEDddU.png
- How rude - https://i.imgur.com/CARKuYD.png
- I ain't afraid of no many-eyed ghosts - https://i.imgur.com/J56t0kL.png
- So magic is your game eh? - https://i.imgur.com/IadNy8D.png
- I'd run if I saw Iron Shadow Giants on the horizon - https://i.imgur.com/3MFlli3.png

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!

Hey everyone,

I recently went looking through steam data and was blown away when I realised just how many countries Warsim
is being played in. Considering how niche it is what I found was amazing.

So perhaps unsurprisingly the biggest country for Warsim copies sold is the USA accounting for more than half of all copies (Thanks mates!)

The top 10 countries for Warsim sales are:

USA - 11.6K copies
UK - 7.3K copies
Canada - 1.5k copies
Germany - 1.3k copies
Australia - 935 copies
Sweden - 403 copies
France - 381 copies
Netherlands - 327 copies
Poland - 369 copies
Finland - 259 copies

Already mind blowing!

What really blows my mind is how many different countries and regions there are where there are active Warsim players.

Each of the below countries Warsim has sold between 1-250 copies

Honduras, Morocco, Ghana, Guadeloupe, Montenegro, Mongolia, Bolivia, Algeria, Albania, El Salvador, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Moldova, Gibraltar, Guatemala, Bangladesh, Oman, Venezuela, Palestine, French Polynesia, Nepal, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Andorra, Macedonia, New Caledonia, Cyprus, Jamacia, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Jersey, Kazakhstan, Brunei, Macau, Pakistan, Qatar, Guernsey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Paraguay, Jordan, Malta, Peru, Costa Rica, Isle of Man, Guam, Bahrain, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Luxembourg, Belarus, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Faroe Islands, Vietnam, Latvia, Taiwan, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Croatia, India, Lithuania, Hong Kong, Israel, Malaysia, Indonesia, Chile, Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico, South Africa, Greece, Argentina, South Korea, Estonia, Phillipines, Iceland, Turkey, Hungary, Portugal, Czechia, Romania, Japan, Singapore, China, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Brazil, New Zealand, Spain, Austria, Russia, and Norway… And breathe.

Here's a map with all countries Warsim has sold copies in marked in blue - https://i.imgur.com/XUNwq4g.png

The fact that the game is even played by one person from anywhere already makes me feel complete. Thank you all wherever you are, for playing and supporting the game, it means a lot to this small little indie dev in Wales.

All the best

Hey Everyone,

So another update, I've been working a fair bit on some combat stuff but in the mean time between bug reports and suggestions I've been building up what has now turned into another update so here it is!

NORTHWATCH BAN (1 feature)

It's no secret that the bandits of Fort Northwatch in the North love the Thickblood Tavern, so much so that if you attack it part of the Northwatch garrison will march down and get involved sometimes. Well now thanks to a tip by TJ the fort won't be so friendly to you if you've destroyed their beloved tavern. Your options go from being able to explore the fort, buy it, watch fights, and learn more, to just being able to attack or leave.

* Added alternate screen for Fort Northwatch if you've destroyed the Thickblood Tavern (credit TJ)

The new screen for an unhappy Fort Northwatch https://i.imgur.com/5kyMntX.png

WHAT'S NEXT

So I've finally finished the 100th encounter for the battle intro system, all the race related battle intro events are now complete and have their own sound effects sorted out. I'm looking into considering race prefixes next and making sure the events make sense as best I can (ie no intro event where an enemy kingdom charge in screaming if they are Mouthless Trolls)

There's still tons more to do but it's progressing nicely. I've built several systems that will be used in the battle intro events and once I'm fully finished with it all I'm going to get on with making a plan for the rest of my combat update workload.

Here are some of the new encounters:

The arrival of some demi-gods https://i.imgur.com/YjxRZSX.png

A horrible Cthuul kingdom https://i.imgur.com/KuBLWQm.png

Some Bogeymen arriving https://i.imgur.com/Dihx2X1.png

Good old gnomes, the sound effect for this is hilarious too https://i.imgur.com/YZrWKMe.png

WHAT'S NEXT

Now that this is out of the way I'm continuing on with the Combat update stuff. I will also be keeping on top of bug reports and best I can.

Cheers

Huw

Warsim 0.8.3.6 (The Quality of Life Update, 119 features)

Hey Everyone,

The last week and a half has been amazing, since the Overwhelmingly Positive update we've had a ton of new amazing reviews and nearly 1000 new Warsim players! To everyone new, Welcome :)

This update is a pretty broad one, lots of little fixes and quality of life additions. I'm still working through a mix of bug reports and backlogged suggestions while also working through the combat update plans.

NAME SUFFIX SYSTEM EXPANDED (3 features)

For a long time certain name suffixes have been able to have addons added to them 'Garbald the Sad' could also be 'Garbald the Sad Knight' or 'Garbald the Sad Raider' modified by Warsim's in-game suffix add on system. Unlike adding new name suffixes, adding new suffix addons was a harder process done only within the games code. I set out to completely replace that system and have it fully moddable and accessible just like the suffix system is, so now in a new text file called 'Name Suffix Addon.txt' in the main Warsim Data folder you can find all of the possible addons followed by the battlescore bonus they provide. While expanding this system I added a ton of new addon parts which has led to over a quarter of a million new possible random name suffix combinations. You'll see these as hirable champions, staff members, enemy rulers etc. This system is even more exciting for me because unlike the 3000ish current name suffixes, all of these will be random and unpredictable combinations that will even catch me offguard. Being caught offguard with random content in a game I've spent 5 years making and know like the back of my hand is always a bonus!

* Added new moddable system for name suffix addons
* Added 265 new name suffix addons (was 57 now 322 total) (With 1199 total modifiable name suffixes this means there are 386'078 possible random name suffix combinations now)
* Made name suffix addon system 2x more likely to be used when generating names

Some of the random names created by the new system - https://i.imgur.com/nwb460p.png

MILITIA GROWTH (2 features)

A good point was made on our discord by Paul-2020 about not being able to see Militia unit growth, I've now added mention of it to the end of turn report.

* Added ability to see how many peasants have joined the milita each year in end of turn report (credit Paul-2020)
* Added alternate text for militia recruiting a single peasant in end of turn report

New end of turn report notice - https://i.imgur.com/MzqqNlH.png

NEW KINGDOM TITLES (5 features)

Some new titles for kingdoms and their rulers and lords that can spawn in your world, thanks for the suggestions guys!

* Added 2 new rare king titles 'The Sleeping God' and 'The Dead God' 1 in 1000 chance of appearing as a king title (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Pact' with ruler 'Grand Master' and lord 'Pact Maker' avaialble for civ level 3 and above (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Alliance' with ruler 'Overseer' and lord 'Guardian' avaialble for civ level 4 and above (credit Pathfinder)
* Added new kingdom type 'Tyranny' with ruler 'Tyrant' and lord 'Underling' avaialble for civ level 3 and above (credit 5HO)
* Added new kingdom type 'Cult' with ruler 'Great One' and lord 'Worshipper' available for civ level 3 and above (credit Pathfinder)

SUDDEN DEATH IMPROVED (4 features)

A few fixes to the games text and now a much better option to forfeit the game with it's own screen, thanks Prof Nonagon for pointing it out!

* Fixed 10 text bugs in sudden death game text
* Added indicators of gold changed and gained for opponent when winning and losing sudden death
* Added new screen for forfeiting sudden death game
* Fixed forfeiting sudden death game made the bet money disappear (credit Prof Nonagon)

ATTACK SCREEN IMPROVEMENTS (5 features)

A couple of improvements to the attack screen where you choose who to fight, including the ability to now change your mind and attack someone else or no one.

* Added ability to back out of an attack in the raid/invade/skirmish screen of main combat (credit Vlyn)
* Fixed bug with trying to attack nonexistent undead horde skipping your turn in combat

* Removed redundant error messages for attacking dead factions in combat screen

New option on attack screens - https://i.imgur.com/uh90VfX.png

DOMAIN NAMES IMPROVED (2 features)

I'm not talking about .com's here, there's a rare chance that a kingdom of gnomes could end up being called "Dibble's Domain" however this system was bugged and resulted in a lot of these 'Domain' names not coming out as intended. After a surpring number of 'fixes' not actually fixing it I managed to get it all sorted. I don't see these names too often in game as there's a 1 in 60 odds of them appearing in the 5 kingdoms you get per game. I've decided to make it a much higher 1 in 6 odds so you'll be seeing these a little more often.

* Fixed issue with 'domain' based kingdom names generating brokenly ie "'s Domain"
* Made domain based names 10x more common

TROOP TREE IMPROVEMENTS (3 features)

When vieiwing the troop tree of independent kingdoms you will now be able to compare them with your own and see more information.

* Reworked troop tree screen in independent kingdom diplomacy
* Added the option to compare your default 3 troop tiers with independent kingdoms in diplomacy (u/videovillain)
* Added colour changing breakdown depending on if troops in the same tier are greater, worse, or the same as eachother

A mixed troop tree - https://i.imgur.com/OEAcT3C.png

WHAT'S NEXT

So I've recently fixed a big bug with my current combat update prototype, I'm now going to be looking to move forward and get more progress on the other events and mechanics of the new combat stuff in the background. At the same time I'm going to keep on top of bug reports and try and continue pumping out updates.

Cheers and hope everyone is doing good

Huw

I really would like to play this but I'm waiting until the official release after Early Access. Smashing work you're doing, though, thanks for making what seems like an incredibly cool game! :)

@TheRealmFluent,

Hey I appreciate the comment, and that's totally fair with the early access stuff. I have a few overhauls to work on and then I will be pushing it out of early access.

All in all if you are interested in the game though, it's not the typical early access build in that the game is 100% playable and includes all of the advertised content on it's steam page. Of the 100+ explorable areas there's a single region of 10 that aren't yet added but beyond that it's a full and playable game.

But totally valid to wait either way. I hope when you do eventually get the chance you enjoy the game :)

Thanks Wastelanderr. I grabbed the game just now. Not sure when I'll get to it but I look forward to playing it!

Hey mate that's awesome, thank you for the support. I hope you enjoy it mate :)

I've been keeping an eye on this one for quite some time, and I'm another that doesn't do the early access route, but rest assured that I will be playing this at some point.

@Carnifex, Cheers mate I appreciate the support :)

Warsim 0.8.3.7 (The Birthday Update, 260 features)

Hey Everyone,

So tomorrow (monday) is my 26th Birthday. A few weeks ago in preparation for this I figured it would be nice if I did a little 26 feature update to celebrate, but ended up instead aiming for 260 features, which has had been a ton of work. I decided to focus the main effort of the update on the complete rework of the second region of the Eastern lands, known as the Lost Jungle. Until now in my opinion it's one of the worst regions for having basically nothing worth doing there, so I've tried to change that.

LOST JUNGLE OVERHAUL

The new lost jungle - https://i.imgur.com/uSQDMOl.png

JUNGLE TEMPLE REWORKED (9 features)

MUSHROOM MEN REWORKED (3 features)

Warsim discord member LeMachinga sent in a very interesting set of redesign concepts for the current Mushroom men face generator. I looked over them and compared and his version was in my opinion, better than the default. So I set out to rework the mushroom faces to fit his design, and in the process beefed up the generator to have an extra 1.44 billion new faces. As a thanks for his contribution to the mushroom men design, one of the random possible mushroom man character names is Mushinga, a reference to LeMachinga. Thanks mate! :)

THRONE ROOM MANAGEMENT IMPROVED (3 features)

After a discord discussion between LeMachinga and LeechGirl the idea to allow a maximum number of visitors to the throne room was raised. It's a great suggestion and adds to our recent option to send away a custom number of visitors. Now players can set any limit they want and each year if the number of visitors exceeds this they will be sent away.

* Added new ability to set a maximum limit of visitors to the throne room (credit LeMachinga)
* Added screen for setting a maximum visitor limit higher than current visitors resulting in some being kicked out

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm taking a week off for my birthday (milking it I know), when I come back it'll be combat update as usual. Thank you all for being such a fantastic and supportive community. All the comments, the reviews, encouragement and support has been and still is lifechanging for me. I'm humbled to be able to survive on making this game and to take on board all the great feedback I get to make the game better than it would ever be alone. Thank you all so much, I'll see you in a week! <3

Cheers

Huw

Hey Everyone,

So it's been quite some time since the last release and that feels terribly uncomfortable for me if I'm being honest, but it's been for the greater good of getting this combat update progressed. In the last month the combat update has gone from about 15% done to 28% done and I'm gearing up for getting it to the point where I could potentially pre-release it to be tested and played by everyone which will be exciting.

As for this update, this is a collection of all sorts of side things worked on alongside this month. The majority of this stuff has come from discussion in the community forums/discord/subreddit and bug reports. Thanks everyone who lurks or is active in the community and those who've recently discovered Warsim, it's always very motivational to see all the activity and discussion!

CUSTOM GAME SETTINGS REWORKED (21 features)

The custom game option is meant to allow players to start a game that is customised and tweaked to their liking, but in many ways this custom game system was lacking. I've reorganised it a bit and added a bunch of new features such as, the ability to tweak the arena, and to start the game owning Darkdale, Blackmarket, and the Arena. As well as lots more customisation with the bandit horde and bandit gangs.

When bandit gangs form, there are many types of bandit they could be. Most are better are recruiting, or more vicious, or steal more, but Merry Men and Honest Men are your more Robin Hood types.

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm returning to combat update stuff next week and am going to start looking at the fundementals of having the new combat system merged into the game with the current standard combat. I'm expecting some issues but if I can get it to work I could potentially get this early combat rework released much earlier than previously planned. This will be exactly what I've been sharing in combat update screenshots and posts but not much more than that.

Once It's released I'm looking forward to the feedback and of course from then on any combat update work won't be hidden away but will be released like regular updates. I'm giving myself 2 weeks to get this combat merge done but it could be longer depending on how things go.

I'm excited about the idea of it though!

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone is doing well :)

Warsim 0.8.3.9 (The Arena Remastered Update, 114 features)



The Arena was once the heart of the games one on one combat, but in the time since it's addition years ago, brawling/scorpion pit fights and more have been added, and all of them have been displayed a lot better than the Arena, despite the Arena being a huge centre piece. This has always bothered me but I've never had the chance to do anything about it and so have been saving a list of ideas and suggestions for the Arena for a while. I ended up here by mistake as I was working on some Arena bugs and got so deep in I figured… well, I'm here now, might as well overhaul it.

There are tons of different features and additions in this update and it's taken a lot of work, but I'm very happy to be able to finally show it, I hope you guys enjoy! :)

SLAVE GAUNTLET (4 features)

While working through my old Arena plans I saw a suggestion for a slave gauntlet by UltimateBlade from the Audiogames forums, It looked like a cool idea so why not. Now as long as you own the Arena and have 8 slave soldiers you can host a tournament for their freedom, and your profit. It will differ from normal tournaments in the way that you can't bet, and that it makes you money instead of costing it. This could be yet another avenue for profit for an unscrupulous evil ruler, or a slave baron.

* Added a new tournament type 'Slave Gauntlet' (Only if you own the Arena and if you have 8 slave soldiers) (credit UltimateBlade from Audiogames)
* Added new scenes and text for Slave Gauntlet
* Added -1 public opinion drop for running a slave gauntlet
* Added between 100-1500 gold profit for hosting a slave gauntlet in your Arena

A LIMITED OCCURANCE (7 features)

Infinite fights per year was a bit excessive, and also allowed the cherry picking of when to bet and when not to. Now each year there will be a limited number of fights in the Arena depending on the size of the Arena. This won't be very noticable at the higher level of Arenas unless you are an arena fanatic.

* Added new limit of total number of fights in the Arena

* Added 10 fights per year limit to second smallest Arena type 'Little Arena'

* Added 30 fights per year limit to 'Colossal Arena'
* Added new secret code '69' which sets total fights to 99 (enter on arena main screen)

OTHER ARENA TWEAKS (6 features)

While working on this big arena feature addition I ended up adding and fixing things in other areas too, the one I'm most excited for is the hall of fame changes. Now when a champion dies in a normal fight, if he is added to the hall of fame, the hall of fame entry will track who it was that killed him. Previous the entries didn't have this information and still worked ok, but with this information it adds another element to the hall of fame, maybe the number one champion of all time was defeated by the number 8, perhaps some of the hall of famers were defeated by champions who themselves were defeated too quickly to enter the hall of fame themselves but are forever immortalised as the ones who defeated the greatest champions. It's a minor change but in my opinion it's quite a big improvement to the hall of fame and I'm super excited to see the new hall of fame stories develop while I'm playing.

* Added arena hall of fame entries now show you who defeated them
* Fixed issue with arena 32 man tournament second stage graphic
* Fixed text bug with public opinion loss for grand champion arrest
* Added missing menu option for housing upgrades in arena
* Removed irrelevant warning texts for bribing grand champion to fight
* Added new screen for bribing grand champion but there isn't a grand champion

* Added white colour for Albino scorpions

* Added purple colour for enchanted scorpions
* Added green colour for questionable (goblin) scorpions
* Added dark grey colour for black scorpions

DUMBLE-PACK (2 features)

The scourers of the Artifact Market may know of the artifact 'The Staff of Dumble' a staff that if given to a champion who bears the name 'Dumble' it will double their strength. The issue with this is there are only 4 Dumble-esque names in game and the odds of them occuring are super slim among the 1776 other human names that could be chosen. The artifact was always made to be a practically impossible one to pull off, but to help a little I've quadrupled the amount of Dumble-esque names in game, good luck!

* Added 12 new human names 'Dumblesquek, Dumbledink, Dumbledonk, Dumbledork, Dumbletwoo, Dumbledimp, Dumbledok, Dumbledoop, Dumbledonk, Dumbletork, Dumbledee, Dumbledwep' (credit NotFox)
* Added ability to give the dumble staff to a dumble champion directly from the arena menu

BUGFIXES (3 features)

A handful of bugs based on helpful reports from players. Thanks guys :)

* Fixed text bug with demon advice (credit Fatalweirdo)
* Fixed trap door upgrade being incorrectly refered to as throne room upgrade (credit Matt1211)
* Fixed mystery slaver never giving demons (credit KoningKrush)

EVERYTHING ELSE (2 features)

A few changes unrelated to everything else

* Made 'press space bar to skip' option now say 'Hold space bar to skip' (credit Adrive)
* Made 777 on Warsim main menu open up an Arena Fight tester
