Patch details:
With Patch 0.675.3, a first attempt at balancing trade has been made. It surely is inadequate. Let me know how trade is working for you: are any routes too profitable? Not profitable enough?
I also made the likely controversial change of adding a few female victory cries. With about half the populace female, it was a little too quiet at the end of battles. If you have access to other, better sounds that don't have licensing issues, I'd be happy to add them.
Patch 0.675.2 includes two potentially controversial changes, and feedback would be appreciated. The first is that heroes that are low on troops now hide out in their settlements if there is a party nearby that is significantly stronger. This was done to stop the cycle where a hero would escape only to be captured immediately.
The second is that parties now are more hesitant to grow beyond their "ideal" size. For hero parties: 20 if free, 50 if settlement, 100 if lord, 300 if faction leader. For roaming parties: 100. For lords that have taken over a settlement, this change is minimal as they would previously have dumped most of the extra troops into their garrison. Now, their garrison sizes will suffer a bit, but hopefully this isn't game-breaking. Free heroes, however, may see significant reductions. Those heroes around Custow that could get hundreds of troops will be limited to 20. Conversely, there will be more, bigger roaming parties around. In the future, I would like to cap their size to be relatively small as well, but permit some small chance of a large group coming together and having that horde go do horde-like things. For now, 100 is quite large but should make for a few fun fights.
Patch 0.675.1 adds two new features. The first is unique merchants for each settlement, which should make trade viable again. Their gear is randomly selected at compile time from a job-specific list.
The second new feature is resource regions. These are polygons on the world map which represents areas where resources are produced. The goal with these is to make Custom Settlements is two fold. First, it would be nice some day to be able to plunk down a settlement at an arbitrary location. The approach used here would let that settlement be useful for trade. The second goal is to minimize the amount of work done when adding new settlements. You should be able to just ignore trade productions and it will work out.

Help wanted:
- Diavolonia could use some touch up. Specifically, there were floating objects in e0m0, e1m0, e1m1, so I assume that there are some in the remaining scenes. The AI mesh in e0m0 and e1m0 was the default, so troops would prefer the river to the bridge and running into buildings to getting places. The AI mesh in e1m1 was largely disconnected and seemingly arbitrary. The other scenes could all probably use some love, and I'm a little sick of welding vertices at the moment.
- Trade goods are imbalanced. At this point I need to know what goods are being over/under produced. If you can give me reports on how trade is working, that would be appreciated. The production values for settlements can now be obtained from the cheat menu. The prices don't settle down until a few weeks into the game, so if you cheat to get your settlement developed don't expect trade to be useful for a while.
- I could probably use some more/better female victory cries that can be redistributed without licensing concerns. I haven't yet checked what other mod authors are using, although I noticed one sound I obtained is also in the Wedding Dance. If you have some, or know what has already been done, please contact me.
Todo/Known Issues:
short term:
add craftsmen and townspeople as higher classes of peasant
tie prisoner revolt chance to quality of garrisoning troops
have troops cost money
report on troop costs/effectiveness
generalize training menu
generalize giving of prisoners to prioritize high quantity stacks
check giving of prisoners for settler troops and transfer directly to population
code up bandit-takeover as putting prisoners into settlement prison
get troops to wander farther
have food withdrawn be propto square of production rates
*settlements were getting mangled titles (e.g. Manor Village)
*custom banners
medium:
?heroes can get stuck following non-existent (possibly attached) parties
add ambient noises in settlements
ability to manage trade routes
give trade goods as gifts, rep propto rarity at settlement
check Diavolonia all for AI mesh
check Diavolonia e0m1, e1m2, e2mX for floaters (merchants goods, tree to left of bridge and tree near bandit camp)
have lords shed troops if beyond significantly greater than ideal size
long:
delete native code from source
sort source into separate files
reduce max size on wandering parties and introduce roaming hordes
*completed already, in next patch
