**THE DEVELOP-A-THON IS OVER**
-
Thank you everyone who's been suggesting ideas, commenting, and supporting me! When I told a friend of this challenge in a pub last week I was told it would be harder than I thought, and it was! it's been a lot of work but I'm glad it's been done, some of the stuff that's come out of this weeks series of updates has definitely improved the game and I've loved the input from everyone!

This will most likely not be the last time Warsim get's a Develop-a-thon!

[huw2k8]

Another little update I've done since the end of the Develop-a-thon, this one has a couple of nice features in it like the new knight 2 hero system and the new independent crown system.

**KNIGHT 2 HERO SYSTEM**

You can hire any number of heroes each turn to take up one of the five spots, but not your own tough knights, not anymore, now when you enter the list of heroes to recruit to the positions you will notice a new option. The new option allows you to bring forth a random knight of yours and declare them a champion, thanks /u/animalsbite for the suggestion!

Here's the trial choice screen - https://i.imgur.com/8wVIDPq.png

I was playing around in the game the otherday and saw the sorry state of the crowns screen, it seemed more like an afterthought than anything interesting, I've updated the screen to vary depending on the personality of the kingdoms leader with each description and screen being more interesting than the solo default one that existed before

Here's an example of the dung crown screen - https://i.imgur.com/GpJF6LJ.png

Hey Guys,

So in the last month Warsim has undergone a ton of development

A month ago we had the gender choice update as well as 246 other features, we've had a develop-a-thon that saw 50 new features added each day for a week which included a custom character creator and tons of other features.

We saw the goblin slaver update and the addition of spontaneous tournaments in the Arena. We saw the race selection update allowing for massively custom gameworlds.

We saw weird stuff like over 100 thousand new helmets like these added to the game

And we had the goblin update adding over 3 trillion new goblin faces among other features!

To celebrate tons of improvement and addition to the game I'm doing a 30% off sale, I think the game is already fairly cheap for what you get but I want to entice as many people who are on the fence into trying it as possible, this game is a project of passion that has been in development for years and I want as many RPG fans to give this as chance as possible!

- 30% OFF on steam and Itch.io

Thanks

[huw2k8]

So let me start by saying this is one of my favourite additions to Warsim in a long time!

**LET THE PEOPLE DRINK**

The let the people drink aspect of the update is the meat of this, this is a major content update adding a new area of the game that includes lots of random events and interesting things, it adds a whole new dimension to the taverns of the world and a whole new way to explore them!

To summarise, you can drink one of many drinks in various taverns with you getting drunker as they go on. Events can happen while you drink such as throwing up, getting into fights, talking to people, tons of random and weird events and so on.

There is also the chance you passout or blackout if too drunk, this also results in additional random events!

I wrote a huge number of Wiki pages over on the Warsim wiki to explain the detail of the drinking system, check it out here - https://github.com/Huw2k8/warsim/wiki/Taverns

There's a page for every tavern, bartender, drink, and event!

* Added new massive drinking system in game with tons of drinks, encounters and events
* Added 2 new dialogues to Borwyn the Skullstomper

* Added new bet gold notification text to victory screen in brawl pit

**QUIT GHOSTING AROUND**

* Added new screen for diplomacy with ghost kingdom without stone
* Added ability to sacrfice to speak to ghost kingdom if they're evil

**LET THE PEOPLE DRINK FOLLOW UP**

I was planning on working more on let the people drink additions but I got carried away, fixed the vomit hole graphic to be a bit better though!

* Altered vomit hole graphic to be bigger

**KNIGHTLY ORDERS IMPROVED**

Having a recent look at the knightly orders screen it was a little strange compared to other menus, I decided to update it again and have added lots of new screens and sounds where there previously were none.

**REFUGEE CAMP OVERHAUL**

I ended up with a refugee camp in my test world and noticed the whole system was a bit lacking, So I spent quite a large portion of the day working on completely evolving the camps and making them much more dynamic, now there are better screens for actions with them as well as a large personality based system where you can speak to the leaders of the camps. Refugee camps are more likely to appear in game when a kingdom is destroyed than before and they include a ton of depth that wasn't there before. I would say this system has recieved a massive evolution.

GOBLIN SETTLEMENTS EXPANDED

A while ago the goblin settlement upgrade was added, something you can grow from a goblin hut all the way up to a megacity, well many people wanted it expanded and now it has been. Now once you have a goblin hut you can visit it in the other buildings tab on the main screen and upgrade it through there, each of the 20 or so different tiers has it's own graphic so you can watch the settlement grow before you!

* Added new system for goblin settlement (new screen in other buildings)

SAVE MANAGEMENT

A suggestion by RTT which is a good one, took a bit of work but I've got it sorted, now you can go through and type the name of a save file you want to delete to clear it and all its extra files away, helps if like me you have lots of different saves and test saves that get a little much, now spring cleaning is easy!

* Added ability to delete saves (credit RTT)

BOOKRAGE

For those who don't know, Bookrage has been involved in the Warsim community for quite some time over on Audiogames.net (specifically this thread) and has come up with I would say somewhere in the range of 500+ ideas over the years, frequently dropping a big list of concepts and ideas whenever I was brainstorming with things like the race system or name prefixes, some notable members of the Warsim community have been featured in the game and Defender suggested that Bookrage be added, why not! Now you'll find a place called Raging Book Shop in Blackrow where you'll find him!

[huw2k8]

Alright so let me start by saying, this week has been interesting and troublesome to say the least. I have come into multiple problems and setbacks with my laptop and I'm awaiting a new keyboard after some keys got accidentally destroyed, there have also been some other issues I'm trying to solve so the workpace hasn't been where I've wanted it to be...

...However, I'm still super excited to bring this update which breathes a bit of life into an area that was flat and devoid of any depth for so long, it wasn't planned but after visiting the minor bandit code to put in the ability to hire the groups directly as a bandit king (thanks to a suggestion by Defender) I saw just how shallow the whole system was and decided to put and end to it.

**MINOR BANDIT OVERHAUL**
-

**New kinds of bandit leaders**

So this system was somewhat modelled on how the Goblin Slaver update was done, meaning there are numerous different traits available each having a different effect on how the leader acts. There are 10 different personalities total, some are similar like recruiter and expert recruiter, and some allow for special abilities like Mercenary captain or Land merchant.

* **Recruiter** (Double units each year)
* **Hordevassal** (Supports Phenor's Bandit Horde if it's active)   
* **Brutal Trainer** (Half recruits, Men have +60% stats (120 battlescore bandits and 200 battlescore Warlords)
* **Expert Robbers** (Take more gold)
* **Honest Men** (No robbery)
* **Expert Recruiter** (Triple units each year) (option to sell them your bandits, at 10 gold each)
* **Merry Men** (Doesn't rob as much gold, and never robs you if it means you have nothing)
* **Moneygrubber** (+20% Gold gain from rents and robberies)
* **Mercenary Captain** (Option to buy bandits from him, Occasionally runs merc contract events)
* **Land Merchant** (Sells any lands above the one they have, if they have only one land he invades automatically)

So you'll now see a group a honest men who won't rob anyone, right next to a bandit group with an expert recruiter growing in number fast only to be replaced by a brutal trainer who turns that large army into a feared unit where a warlord could kill one of your knights with ease.

* Added expert robbers take twice the gold
* Added moneygrubber leaders gain 20% extra rental gold each turn
* Added honest men don't rob anyone
* Added land grab factions always invade when attacking and on only one land
* Added updated battlescore for brutal trainer units (125 and 200)
* Added merry men dont' rob you if it would leave you broke
* Added moneygrubbers gain +20% of normal stolen gold
* Added recruiter leaders get double units each turn
* Added brutal trainers get half units each turn
* Added expert recruiters get triple units each turn

**New stuff you can do with minor bandit groups**

This update hasn't just changed what they can do, but also what you can do with them. Now you can view additional stats, you can talk to the leader directly, you can speak to random local bandits and if you have the 'Bandit King' backstory you can actually attempt to hire the group with a chance of gaining it's leader as a personal champion whom you can send to the Arena/to run a fort/etc. It's also now possible for you to try and have your diplomat broker a truce with a group instead of just paying gold, but there are risks!

* Added ability to buy land from land merchant bandit leader (if truced)
* Added ability to buy men from merc captain leaders (if truced)
* Added ability to sell men to expert recruiter leaders (if truced)
* Added ability to view all stats for bandit leaders
* Added ability to hire bandit group if you are the bandit king and (public op lower than 20 or group is merry men or honest men) (credit Defender)
* Added ability to speak to random bandit (25 dialogues)
* Added 36 unique dialogues (4 for each bandit leader type)
* Added ability for bandit group leader to join you as a knight if his group is assimilated with you
* Added ability for bandit group leader to head off into the world if his group is assimilated with you
* Added ability for bandit group leader to join you as a champion if his group is assimilated with you
* Added dynamic refusal from bandit group leader if you ask them to join
* Added ability for diplomat to broker truce with the bandits
* Added ability for diplomat to be killed brokering truce with bandits

**New bandit leader random events**

Now there are several events with at least one for each trait that can happen at the end of a turn, and some pre-existing bandit events have been improved upon.

* Added rival group join event for recruiter bandit leaders
* Added successful robberies event for expert robbery bandits
* Added new potion merchant raid event
* Added new old artifact seller raid event
* Added robbed nobles for village event for merry men bandit leaders
* Added defend village and gain recruits for honest men bandit leaders
* Added impassioned speech event for expert recruiter bandit leaders
* Added call for the bandit horde event for hordevassal bandit leaders
* Added half men to horde event for hordevassal bandit leaders
* Added brutal training regime event for brutal trainer leaders
* Added land capture event for land merchant leaders
* Added merc contract event for merc leaders
* Added 1 in 3 chance event for successful scam to double gold for moneygrubber bandit leaders

**Minor bandit bugs and tweaks**

* Reworked the hire attack screen
* Fixed bandit group 5 giving all of their end of turn gold to bandit group 1
* Fixed capitalisation bug in minor bandit group screen
