Still primarily working on the combat update but have a bunch of features and additions that have once again accumulated into a very nice little update for you guys, [here's a little video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0jISkvWpoE&feature=youtu.be) delving into what it adds for those who don't want to read.

NEW MAJOR STUFF

Now the halloween pack can be used permanently, the troop death system now differenciates enemies and allies using a mount and blade style green and red for deaths. A new bonus location has been added to smallhaven and in the concepts menu you can test the battle approach system.

* Added Halloween race pack permanently
* Added new troop death colour system for warsim battles
* Added the laughing man of smallhaven to smallhaven
* Added ability to test the weather in game in the concept menu

CAFOFO'S SOUND EFFECT PACK

After scouring through /r/gamedev I saw this cool sound pack from Cafofo, https://cafofomusic.itch.io/human-vocal-sounds so I bought it and have installed a bunch of new sound effects to the game, there are quite a few I'm not yet using but will later including a great big bundle of female sounds.

* Added 15 new laughing sound effects
* Added 1 new sigh sound effect
* Added 4 new mmm sound effects

NEW NAMES

LeBronch, Hilarious!

* Added the name 'LeBronch' for Ents and Treemen

HIRE SCREEN OVERHAUL

After a bit of critique to the hire screen I realise it's fairly primitive compared to other features in the game and well in need of a rework. Now you will find that soldiers and knights will also start with a varied price in game, however each turn these prices will rise and fall at random, meaning if making a large purchase of units you might wish to wait for a better price. The new hire screen is split into several sub menus and is given more that can be done inside of it including access to the foreign mercenary units and the new ability to disband your armies.

* Split hire screen into 5 categories (hire, sell, disband, disarm&convert, upgrade)
* Added new disband screen to the hire section
* Added ability to disband soldiers, peasants, knights, goblins, and bandits
* Added new system for soldier price to be randomised before game start
* Added new system for knight price to be randomise before game start
* Added peasant price changes each year by +1 or -1 (min 8 gold, max 45 gold)
* Added Soldier price changes each year by +1-3 or -1-3 (min 20 gold, max 75 gold)
* Added Knight price changes each year by +3-6 or -3-6 (min 200 gold, max 750 gold)
* Added unit selling prices reflect half of the new cost price
* Added Small Market Favour Upgrade (500 gold) (10% more likely to get troop price drop)
* Added Market favour upgrade (2000 gold) (20% more likely to get troop price drop)
* Added Big Market favour upgrade (5000 gold) (50% more likely to get troop price drop)
* Added Grand Market favour upgrade (15000 gold) (100% more likely to get troop price drop)

UPGRADE UPGRADES

Upon reflection recently I've realised that upgrading your kingdom is really a more later game concept, and that's quite annoying. All too often new players look to upgrade early on only to realise they can't. I've decided to breakdown a lot of upgrades into smaller ones.

* Added nobility post (150 gold) 1 in 20 chance of +1 knight each year
* Added Large nobility post (750 gold) 1 in 10 chance of +1 knight each year
* Added Basic nobility quarters (1000 gold) 1 in 3 chance of +1 knight each year
* Added Small nobility quarters (2500 gold) 1 in 2 chance of +1 knight each year
* Reworked nobility quarters (10000 gold) 2 in 3 chance of +1 knight each year
* Reworked extended nobility quarters (25000 gold) 1-2 knights per year
* Reworked Advanced nobility quarters (50000 gold) 2-3 knights per year
* Added Grand nobility quarters (100000 gold) 3-5 knights per year

KNIGHT RARITY

Knights are powerful units, and they are more available than bad descisions on tinder, No more.

* Significantly nerfed noble quarters
* Nerfed number of knights available by default for different difficulties
* Nerfed number of knights added to available knights for hire list each turn

[pakoito]

It always surprises me how fast you develop features. What's your tech stack? How do you unitest things and find regressions?

 

[Wastelander404]

pakoito Thanks, I build Warsim entirely from the ground up so I understand most of it's innerworkings and systems. Therefore I know how to modify them, I've build a lot of them to be very easily extendable and moddable and so for a lot of pre-established stuff adding new content is pretty smooth.

I have templates for adding new throne room encounters for example, and some modder systems available for the player that I also personally use to add new things

 

[pakoito]

I meant, is it python, C++, Java, C# in Unity?

 

[Wastelander404]

pakoito C++ entirely

 

[Wastelander404]

So again, I'm still cutting away at the combat update, but a little bit of bugfixing and the odd new feature here and there has led once again to an update. Here's my latest video covering what's been added and changed.

https://youtu.be/o6NwaiaVmGY

**RISE OF THE GILLGHOUL**

What went from a small doodle of a weird head to a race with 43 billion faces, welcome to the Gillghoul. These are the living corpses of bodies lost at sea!

* Added new race 'Gillghouls' to the game
* Added 43'823'445'120 Gillghoul faces (43.8 billion)
* Added Gillghoul face generator in extra screen
* Added Gillghoul concept.txt to extra folder in games files
* Added 59,294 possible new races of Gilghoul type (Hell Gillghouls, Two-Headed Gillghouls, Combat Gillghouls, etc)

Here are some gillghouls in action

https://i.imgur.com/Dj5ERt8.png

**RACE GENERATOR EXPANSION**

This is a single new prefix added to the race system, after a little test I thought it would be interesting to see what the different races would look like with no mouth, this led to the mouthless prefix however the code itself was already in the game it just wasn't being used by the race generator. Now you can find all kinds of mouthless creatures. This doesn't work on races with irregular face lengths like goblins but almost all other races it does. As a result of this and gillghouls additions the total possible races available in Warsim have gone from 75,066,204 to 75,470,122, not bad!

* Added new race prefix 'Mouthless' (-1 civ level, -5 battlescore, Faces have no mouth)
* Added 344,624 possible new mouthless races

Here's a look at some of the mouthless faces

https://i.imgur.com/PW1dYxD.png

**UPGRADE SCREEN REWORKED**

It was brought to my attention that upgrade screens didn't always tell you if you didn't have enough gold to buy the upgrade, this is very user unfriendly. I have decided to add screens for every upgrade and for not being able to afford every upgrade, it was a lot of work but now the upgrade screens are much more informative and some are unique.

* Added new screens for all kingdom upgrades you can't afford explaining the cost and showing your own gold (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added new screens for all kingdom upgrades when bought (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screens for recruitment signs and militia recruitment signs (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for prison whips and steel whips with sfx (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for goblin slaver bodyguards (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for pitchfork and scythe harvest upgrades (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for pickaxe upgrade (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for market favour with sfx (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for hiring arena champion guards (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for constructing beast cages in arena (credit u/Gamerzguy)
* Added special screen for building spike pit in arena (credit u/Gamerzguy)

* Added fart sound (from Cafofo's pack)
* Added new sound effect Aroused Hmm (from Cafofo's pack)
* Added new sound effect Big Sigh (from Cafofo's pack)
* Added new dynamic grr sound (6 different sounds) (from Cafofo's pack)

**THRONE ROOM REACTIONS EXPANDED**

Another mountain of throne room reactions, now the throne room visitors will have even more different possible reactions to the things you do and say. Also 5 reactions I'd previously coded were not actually able to appear in game due to a bug! so those are added too

* Added child blows rasperry and runs throne room reaction

* Added angry sound storm out throne room reaction
* Fixed 5 throne room reactions to kicking someone out of court not appearing in game

**DENLAND VIDEO BUGFIXES**

Turns out recording Warsim videos is the best bugfixing system possible, because whenever I try to show off the game I encounter all the bugs! Another bunch found while delving into denland now all solved.

* Fixed drunken monkey performance gives two splitlines
* Fixed mine collapse code being negated by not enough miners to work code (all 3 mines)

* Added ability to cancel attack when hiring bandit group to fight for you (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added ability to pay for celebration from bank gold if not enough normal gold (credit u/TheGamingDictator)
* Added ability to pay for celebration from mix of bank gold and normal gold if not enough (credit u/TheGamingDictator)

[Citizen]

Added 43'823'445'120 Gillghoul faces (43.8 billion)

Can someone who owns the game please upload all the faces as codex avatars

 

[Wastelander404]

Citizen ALL OF THEM? hahaha

Here's some of the default race faces

https://i.redd.it/97zjc89jpll11.png

 

[Jimmious]

The asymmetry on the dwarf's beard is killing me :p

 

[Wastelander404]

Procedural janky beards for life!

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

Ghost is the best.

I actually bought the game on a whim, although haven't played it yet. Maybe tongiht I'll see what I can do to provide all sorts of wonderful faces for the Codex Avatar repo.

 

[Wastelander404]

Werdna's Revenge Haha, you joke but weirdly there are around 179 quadrillion ghost faces.

The reason why is that the ghost face is infact the human face generator but their invisible on screen. You can actually copy and paste the text off the screen and see a real unique human face. Or if in game you can find an artifact called the 'Seer stone' which makes invisible and ghost races visible.

Here's a gif of it in action - https://imgur.com/ZDFwkU0

And thanks for the support! I hope you enjoy it when you get the chance

 

[Wastelander404]

Another update born out of adding and tweaking things alongside the combat update stuff. This update adds a bunch of new things including some changes to the upgrade screens layout I'm really happy with.

UPGRADE SCREEN ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

I was looking at the upgrade screens that were changed in the last update when it dawned on me that there was another way of making the upgrade screen more intiutive, by adding colour to show if it is buyable, too expensive or sold making it much easier to tell. Now upgrades you can't afford are coloured red, stuff you can afford is coloured green, and stuff you've maxed out goes grey, it's a much bigger improvement on upgrades.

* Added new colour system for upgrade screen options
* Added new colour system for recruitment screen upgrades
* Added new colour system for Arena upgrades
* Added new colour system for Prison upgrades
* Added new colour system for Throne room upgrades
* Added new colour system for Militia upgrades

* Added new race prefix 'Noseless' (will have no noses, -3 battlescore) (credit u/Thegamingdictator)
* As a result of this there are now 344'624 new noseless and noseless combo races in game (75814746 total races) (credit u/Thegamingdictator)

NEW NAMES

A few new names for the characters of your world

* Added 10 new ghoul and gillghoul names

BUGFIXES

Only a few bugfixes this update, can't tell if that's lucky or not!

* Fixed spacing issue for faction attack announcement
* Fixed there is a pretty long line missing of bug (credit u/theGamingDictator)
* Fixed become a village of farming text bug

EVERYTHING ELSE

New sound effect and some other things!

* Added tags to the blackmarket takeover descision to show what each option means
* Added 3 new advices to the games advice pool (throne room advisors/gar gallock/staff advice)

 

[Wastelander404]

So this update has taken the majority of my time this week but it has resulted in tons more possible random races that you'll likely never see in game, as well as a bunch of tweaks and tons of bugfixes.

RACE SYSTEM EXPANDED

Big thanks to u/AdministrativeTreat7, Ash, Bookrage and AlternateEnding for many of these suggestions. I did the math and these 22 new prefixes add a total of 6,841,800 possible new races, be they Rainbow Halflings, Super Trolls, Damned Ghouls, Scrawny Hobgoblins, Might Gnomes, Bush Zombies, Conjoined Necromancers, Wasteland Goblins or millions more! Each of them has different effects and bonuses and I can't wait to see them in my gameworld!

RACE PREFIX CHANGES AND TWEAKS

While checking through all of the prefixes in the game I found many with effects that didn't make sense, a few with bugs in them, and a handful that were lacking features that would improve them slightly. Now the already existant races possible have been given lots of tweaks and changes that hopefully make a lot more sense! I also removed some duplicate race prefixes I'd noticed in there that were slightly different to eachother but not enough to warrant them being seperate

[Major Seven]

Bought this game earlier today (on itch.io) and played a few hours. Think I barly scratched the surface but so far it's very good!

Wastelander404, keep up the good work and thanks for supporting drm free platforms

 

[Wastelander404]

Major Seven Thanks a bunch for the support! Means a lot

 

[Ludwig von Eisenthal]

It's totally unbelievable to me how you push out tons of features again and again in short time. I purchased your game on Steam and itch.io and love what you do, there is simply no game like Warsim out there. But it makes me seriously dizzy to read your massive updatelogs. And every single time I decide to begin a new game and get into it you come around with another update... It's madness, I say! Sheer madness!

 

[Wastelander404]

Ludwig von Eisenthal Thanks man that's really kind of you to say and I appreciate the support!

I try to keep them coming as often as I can, Hopefully another good one coming this week!

 

[Wastelander404]

Hello Everyone,
