Statement regarding Plans for Singleplayer and Engine

Users who are viewing this thread

Warriors of Calradia,

Today we will be sharing some of our current singleplayer and engine related priorities with you.

Since the release of the game, we have been hard at work to improve stability and performance for our players. This will continue to be a top priority for us. Naturally, we are also working on other parts of the game. Below you will find a list of some of these:

    • Kingdom Decisions for Declaring War and Making Peace.
    • Adjustments to Kingdom Policies.

Sweet, thank you for the information!

Maybe put this in big bold text: "Please keep in mind that these priorities are neither all-encompassing nor set in stone. We will adjust them if the need arises.", at the top and bottom.
 
10/10 game of the year

I am glad that ya'll put this out. it is nice to know where the team's focus is. Does
Character System
  • New perks that will likely be added on a per skill basis. You can see the beginning of this in our latest beta version (e1.4.0).
  • Skill Progression & Effects Balancing

Include training troops? It would be great to have a method to train troops more readily since looter will kill troops in auto-resolve now, sorta forcing the player to spend additional time on something is not really fun. All that is needed is F1-F3 and you will win the battle against looters with 0 casualties, compared to autoresolve where there is a risk of losing your high tier troops.
 
Awesome, i'm having a blast with the game already and can't wait for the future of it.

Formations and tactics improments? Great! Hope AI fights better in formation advancing in shieldwall and such
 
There is a great lack of features in kingdom management. No mention of that?
 
-Adding new weapon parts for crafting
-Creating new armor design concepts


If these two are here I'd assume reworking the smithy stamina system should also be on the list of worked on changes,higher priority as well.Are you planning to keep it unchanged?
