Title: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 09, 2019, 06:15:40 am: Hello all, my name is Huw and for the past 4 or so years now I've been solo developing a game called Warsim, some of you may have heard of it as a large number of those who have played the game are dwarf fortress fans too, Warsim was based on many games I've enjoyed including mount and blade, dwarf fortress, the elder scrolls series and king of dragon pass.

I've always had an awesome response from fellow urists before so I thought I'd share the game with you all!

The game has been on steam for a while now and is rated as of this post, as the 191st best hidden gem on steam according to steam250.com, this is due to the 97% positive rating it has from 114 reviews, but relatively low sales.

the game features a heavily procedurally generated world as you try to rule the Kingdom of Aslona, a once great land now plagued by rebellion, a united horde of bandits, two strong kingdoms of goblins and five randomly generated independent kingdoms with randomly generated races as well as countless other side factions, I have always loved randomly generated content and so the game is full of it.

* Randomly generated musicians who play random songs (lutes, grunters, clickers, hummers, drummers and so on)
* Over 25 quadrillion randomly generated faces for many different kinds of races
* Randomly generated kingdoms with random flags, laws, rulers and relations that you can fight, or befriend
* Hundreds of encounters with people visiting your throne room to speak to you, the mighty king!
* Massive world exploration zone
* Randomly generated buildings and architecture
* Arena gambling, tournaments and grand champion fights
* Player Moddability, add your own things to the game!
* near infinite hireable companions such as jesters, generals, spymasters ect
* Thousands of random in game events and encounters to keep things interesting
* Tons of cheats and extra features stuffed into the game
* Millions of possible factions and wild and active gameworld
* and so much more!

A really good let's play made somewhat recently, though the game has grown greatly since this playthrough (https://youtu.be/j7XmTlI72IM)

Here's the games steam store page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_Aslona/?beta=0)

Feel free to check out our reddit community on /r/WarsimRpg (There is a link in the sidebar to download the old free version of the game)

I am massively open to feedback, I have a tendency to add things that are suggested by players into the game and will respond to pretty much all the comments I get! Happy to answer any questions you guys have and would love feedback of any kind! :)

Post by: Dostoevsky on January 10, 2019, 11:12:02 am: I bought this a while back but ended up bouncing off the UI. Is there a 'getting started' guide you'd recommend?
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 11, 2019, 04:47:01 am: @Ollobrains, It's definitely still done alright, but it could always be better! :)

@LoSboccacc, Thanks! hope you enjoy it

@Dostoevsky, There are a few tutorial videos and an internal guide, the best bet would be to speak to your initial diplomat if you have any issues, but if there's anything that's got you confused feel free to message me here or on steam/reddit and I will 100% get back to you

Post by: Aoi on January 11, 2019, 05:41:21 am: This is proving to be an interesting experience at launch:

Start up... options... "Adjust Screen Color Randomly"?... *spends five minutes trying to get it back to something that doesn't make eyeballs bleed*... gives up and Go Back... and it's back to normal. *facepalm*

So lets actually try and do something now:
The world is full of mystery and wonder, there are many peoples in this world, they are: Men, Horned Minotaurs, Star Ass
_{_{_{hthaki, Underworld Druids, Roving Fiends, Hedge Necromancers, Goblins and Demons of the Southern Gate.}}}

Yeeeeah, time to sleep. If a potato gets mentioned, I'm probably going to lose it.

Post by: Trolldefender99 on February 08, 2019, 08:35:11 pm: Is this game have an end? Or is it like dwarf fortress where its continual till you have fun dying or just want to start over?

I'm good with either, but just curious before buying to get an idea of what the goal (if any) is.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on February 09, 2019, 07:17:17 am: @a1s, Didn't spot that! the two nutcrackers, that's just what you want hahaha, and there's a bug report thread on reddit but I don't mind taking them here, whats up? :)

@Trolldefender99, So there are a few ways the game goes, I added timed games to allow for a forced ending, ie 25 years, 50 years and so on, but if you choose an infinite game, then the real goals are to defeat the demonic horde, which is a faction that can be found at any time but slowly grows and mid to late game becomes a real problem, after that you can destroy or vassalise the five independent nations. But once all kingdoms are destroyed you can explore and discover a set of new stronger ones which continues for infinity following a growth curve, so in theory you could keep playing forever
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Trolldefender99 on February 09, 2019, 01:42:18 pm: Thanks for the info :)

Also Warsim is surprisingly addicting. I wasn't really sure how I'd like it tbh, but its actually rather indepth from what I've seen of it so far. I'd have been happy to pay the full price if I got it off sale.

my favorite part so far, is the visitors you get (I didn't realize got visitors, so I had a bunch waiting in my castle for who knows how long lol) and especially the bards :) Some of the NPCs that came by made me laugh.

(edit:

I do have a question. Is it possible to play as a custom race? Or are custom races only for the AI to use? I tried figuring it out and google search seems to suggest its not possible, but the searches I found were back from 2017.

Though I'm almost positive someone created a race with "God" faces and he was able to play as them. But I don't remember the video now, and maybe it was just NPCs he met of that race.

Post by: Huw2k8 on February 10, 2019, 05:32:34 am: Glad you're enjoying it! :)

I love the throne room personally cause it's one of the areas of the game where as the dev I still cant predict what I am going to get, rare encounters, some randomly generated ones I've never seen before, it's always fun :)

It's not possible to play as anything other than humans or demonic humans at the moment, though it has been heavily suggested, I want to wait until I've completed all the things I need to complete, then I will look into making other races playable because I really want to make playing as another race feel like a different experience, so a lot of things will change

You can create custom races for your game though, they will be the kingdoms you interact with in the worlds you play in

Post by: Levi on February 11, 2019, 04:43:00 pm: I'm entertained that every visitor to the throne room has the option "Throw him into prison". :P

It seems pretty neat so far, I've been playing as a benevolent and well loved king and have killed all the rebels and almost wiped out the bandits. Also there is a race of two-headed elves, which is a bit terrifying.

I also for a while kept recruiting bandits from my prison, thinking they would become soldiers. Instead my "Benevolent Kingdom" sends them out to raid other kingdoms, which wasn't my intention but is pretty funny and makes a fair bit of gold for me.

Out of curiosity, if I continue playing a 25 year game after the 25 turns does the demonic hoard still become a threat? If not I might restart and pick the infinite game.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on February 15, 2019, 12:56:01 pm: So the next update for warsim I have planned is improvements to the godlings and demigods races, they were added a long time ago with the race generator when I was attempting to create the ultimate race generation system with as many races as possible, the system made them strong in battlescore but low in population and so on, but... that was more or less the only unique part about them.

I wish to change that with this update, If you are in a world with LITERAL GODS, you should be concerned.

I am trying to think of things that they should be able to do, special features of a race of half-gods, any ideas you guys have are welcome! the weirder the better

All replies to this will also be crossposted on to the reddit thread here - https://www.reddit.com/r/WarsimRpg/comments/aqxm35/the_next_update_focus_demigods_and_godlings_the/

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on February 22, 2019, 08:54:06 am: Hey guys, while I've been working on some warsim theory, the little mini things I've been working on, on the side have stacked up so I thought I'd push a release, there is no real focus of the update but one of the bigger changes was to the militia and the near north!

Post by: Huw2k8 on February 26, 2019, 09:56:21 am: Hey guys, another smaller update this time, some changes to Fort Northwatch and the Thickblood tavern in the Near north, making these areas better and more functional.

**MAIN STUFF**

When exploring a lot of those encounters with peasants looking for gold were asking for way more money that they should have been so they have been nerfed, it's still random but you're less likely to get such high self worth peasants. Also I had a race of gold orcs spawn in a world and was sad to see their skin wasn't gold, so now it is! And finally, as part of a continued effort to improve the sound of warsim, there is a new ambient track for the main menu.

* Dropped the min and max wage ask for peasants found in world exploration
* Added gold races now have yellow skin
* Added new main menu theme music to warsim

**THE THICKBLOODS**

The thickblood tavern is a location that can be, bought or visited, but for some reason you can't just attack it, well now you can, you can attack it, but there's a reason the place is still standing, it's popular with many northern folk and they are willing to die for it, be careful now.

* Added ability to attack thickblood tavern
* Added chance if fort northwatch has over 100 men they join defence of thickblood

* Added personal small army to thickblood tavern

**FORT NORTHWATCH**

Fort Northwatch was rather bland, seeing what could happen with forts with the updates of Gorthmek in the past I decided to give this place a spruce up, now there are a few more things you can do here!

* Fixed northwatch army non-existant and instantly refils every attack
* Added northwatch recruit 5 bandits per year (max 1200)

Post by: Huw2k8 on March 11, 2019, 04:06:49 pm: This update took a little longer than I wanted it to, but here it is! This update boasts finally pushing the race generator to well beyond 300k random races that are possible to be spawned in Warsim! 325'142 total. This update also contains lots of changes to the sounds systems within the game.

**CREATURE-LINGS**

This is what pushed the races over the edge, now every single animal type can also be a custom race, itself with 'lings' at the end, you can find Doglings and Catlings, Beetlelings and Giraffelings.

* Added 192 new animal race types (Doglings, Piglings, Maggotlings, Crowlings... etc)

**RACE SKIN COLOUR UPDATE**

This update sees race skin colour more affected by certain race suffixes, so Bone Orcs will now have white skin instead of green, Arctic Gnomes will be blue, Magma Goblins red and so on, this adds a bit more of a difference between races giving more of a change of an immersive world with strange creatures who occupy it.

* Added Bone races now have white skin
* Added Pale races now have white skin
* Added Skeleton races now have white skin
* Added Infernal races now have red skin
* Added Magma races now have red skin

**SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSICAL CHANGES**

New system for setting music at the start of a game, no more loud theme music if you don't want it, choose between 4 soundtracks, also tons of new sound effects added to the game, these last few updates have seen warsim go from being basically silent with a soundtrack to being far more sound based! hopefully this continues, suggestions for more are welcome.

I'll just leave it at that.

Post by: Huw2k8 on March 21, 2019, 06:38:42 am: Ok so as usual this update took a little longer than I wanted, but I needed to make sure all locations were covered with new destruction sounds, and tons of other stuff, let me know what you think!

**NEW JESTER FEATURES**

It's a dumb idea that came to my head, but as anyone who's been playing warsim for a while knows, those dumb ideas often end up in the game, well now any jester who's introductory speech to you starts with the words 'Honk Honk' or 'Wonk Wonk' will say that before every joke or riddle! Also you can find nervous jesters who will often mess up trying to tell you a joke or riddle!

* Added Joke telling jesters now show their face instead of a horse image
* Added possibility of nervous stuttering jesters
* Added possibility of jesters that say Honk Honk a lot
* Added possibility of jesters that say Wonk Wonk a lot

**BLACKMARKET TROOP CHANGES**

The Blackmarket has been buffed again, the place is a highly valuable location with tons of population but often a weak and easily beaten army, no more!

* Added 1000 starting troops to blackmarket
* Made blackmarket bandit troop wages half a gold coin per turn (instead of a single coin) to allow for more men to be on payroll without bankrupting the market
* Increased blackmarket troop limit for all leaders (6000 for bandit kings, 4500 for bandit warlords, 3800 for all others)

**NEW FACES**

Lots of new faces, demons by request and halflings due to their use by our new race!

* Added 2'869'278'572'160 (2.8 trillion) Demon faces (credit pinback)
* Added 2'525'644'800 Halfling faces (was 740 million, now 3.2 billion)

**NEW RACE**

A new race, Homunculi are tiny little troublemakers!

* Added new race 'Homunculi' to the game (small humanoids, smaller than halflings) using halfling faces, protofolk names and having terribly low population and strength stats

**RACE CHANGES**

Tried to go through the list of race prefixes to see which ones should logically change skin colour, so now races will look more and more unique, also three new prefixes! so you can get Ransacking Dwarves, Snow Elves and Desert Demons!

* Added 'Ransacking' race prefix (allows race to raid and gives +3 battlescore)
* Added 'Snow' race prefix (Gives White Skin, +6 battlescore)
* Added 'Desert' race prefix (-5 population level +7 battlescore)
* Added Ghostly races now have white skin
* Added Golden races now have yellow skin

I've been downloading Copyrightless sounds from Freesounds.org and mashing them up. If you have any ideas for places that could use sounds let me know!

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on March 30, 2019, 12:22:57 pm: It's something I'd like to add in the future but I have a ton of big big plans I need to finish first, if the player can be ruler of a different race I don't want it to be a simple reskin, I want the whole game to feel uniquely different race by race, which would be hard but hopefully do-able
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on April 02, 2019, 11:22:01 am: Hey guys, just want to make sure no one's in the dark, it's been just shy of two weeks since the last update and the reason for this has been the scope of the new update, the throne room is getting a few added layers of complexity, but the throne room has over 1000 different encounters and sub encounters, and almost all of them are being modified. In fact, every single main encounter will be reworked so it's been a hefty task though it will be worth it in the end!

Currently I have finished 25/130 primary encounters, so a fifth of the way, though many of the systems that have been written for the first 25 will be reused by the others so as development progresses it will get easier.

Now I can't reveal some of the new additions because they are secret for now! but some things that have been done so far:

* When goblins talk gibberish during throne room encounters, if your diplomat is a goblin/speaks goblin, you can actually ask what the goblin is saying, which reveals extra information
* Communicating with the demon overlord as a demon servant has been modified with some spooky additions
* Trials by combat can now happen if arrested people request them
* Some arrested people will fight
* Ability to hire new jester even if you already have one (you can also compare their stats)
* Savage kingdoms will not have a phrase but instead symbols or weird savage words

Anyway, that's some of what can be expected in the update, but by the time its finished there will be much more! :)

Thanks for sticking around! ~ Huw

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 13, 2019, 02:42:11 am: So this update took a lot longer than I thought it would, but it's part of a move forward with putting in important features into the game, there's still sooo much work to do, but the throne room is a lot more dynamic now, this update is big, so with it there may be a few bugs tucked away in some of these new features, find any and let me know!

**THRONE ROOM REMASTERED**

There are literally so many things that have changed in the throne room, the main goal through this was that basically every encounter was to have more dynamic/unpredictable responses to each of your actions and reactions, also for the textwrap situation to be solved and for all the text to be less yellowy and more fitting with the style of the other game text, also for me to add new stuff anywhere I could.

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 14, 2019, 08:50:35 am: Hey guys, so this update is a little soon (first time I've ever said that) but the time between updates prior to 0742 was quite long so I figured before I head away next week I'll try and get a bunch more work done and pump out some smaller updates, the main focus here was to do far more tests on the new throne room, remove any bugs and tweak anything I didn't like as well as to add new sounds and content where I could.

**THRONE ROOM TWEAKS**

Mostly small stuff, but my favourite is now if you get a sudden death player in your throne room you can rob him just like you can rob coin flippers! rip sudden death players coinpurses.

* Added new screen to advice giver paid

* Replaced bard 'begins to play for you text' with 'prepares to play for you' to avoid confusion

**NEW SOUNDS**

I've been continuing the drive of adding more sounds to warsim, these are mostly inconsequential but I think they do make the game feel more alive and quite a few of these are funny sounds, the goblin joiner one is my favourite but it's a secret! :o

* Added new laughing child sound effect (now two different ones used at random)
* Added new sound effect 'trumpet solo'

**NEW REACTIONS**

I plan to expand the reaction system more in the next few updates but here are a few I've added in this update, mainly for knights questing instead of the same common boring line coming up.

* Added 'hands over eyes' peasant execution reaction

**BUGFIXES**

Quite a few bug fixes here found from my testing, though I will need to continue testing the throne room extensively, there's also a major issue blocking you from being able to purchase the trap door upgrade (which was one of the crowning acheivements of the last update)

* Fixed baby mother dispute encounter text colour bug

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on May 16, 2019, 08:36:29 am: So another quick burst update, the main drive of this update was to continue developing the reaction system and testing the throne room, but it spiralled into a bit of spring cleaning my old warsim to-do list, I cleared it down from 1200 things to 1000 by a mix of (adding stuff from the list, merging ideas that were similar, removing things that are now in the game etc) As a result there are some interesting new things as well as some ideas that were suggested a while ago but are now finally in.

**NEW MAJOR FEATURES**

The major new features here are that now, any races that are Masked, ie Masked Dwarves, Masked Goblins, Masked Demons, will not have visible faces but instead use masks from a pool of 72 million procedurally generated ones.

They look like this
https://imgur.com/a/rLtdrBN

Also the arena (if unowned by you) can still be upgraded and grow over time depending on who owns it and how big it is ([see here](https://i.imgur.com/eI7LWto.png)), and there is a new special encounter where mercenary companies will visit you and offer a varied discount!

* Added new system for masked races (now instead of their default faces, they get a mask from one of 72.6 million possible masks)
* Added dynamic system for the arena to be upgraded when not owned by you
* Added new encounter 'Mercenary company visit' (4 different kinds of visit)
* Added ability for mistreatment of merc company leader to get you banned from hiring them forever
* Added certain crimes result in higher relation change when fugutive of other kingdom is accepted/killed/arrested etc (ie killing the rulers pet, treason etc) (credit Defender)
* Added ability to skip some or all guest introductions in celebration ceremony (with chance of relation drop)

**NEW RACE TYPES**

With these four suffixes there are now 5872 new races that can be found in your world, [the three headed idea](https://i.imgur.com/s7x3tfY.png) was on my to do list from a suggestion by Bookrage from Audiogames.net, the recently updated system for two-headed races made it surprisingly easy to make a three-headed face work properly. After getting the three-headed system in I tested to see if it worked with masks and to my surprise it did, so now there are Two-headed and [Three-headed races that wear masks](https://i.imgur.com/UQUzzQc.png), also Stout folk.

* Added new race suffix 'Three-Headed' (half population, three heads graphic, +50 battlescore) (credit Bookrage)
* Added new race suffix 'Stout' (much lower population, slightly stronger)
* Added new race suffix 'Three-Headed Masked' (half population, three heads graphic, Wears masks, +52 battlescore)
* Added new race suffix 'Two-Headed Masked' (two heads graphic, Wears masks, +12 battlescore)

**THRONE ROOM TWEAKS**

A couple of tweaks to things in the throne room!

* Added some no gold reactions significantly or slightly increase the odds of public opinion change
* Slightly increased the odds of public opinion loss for having no gold when agreeing to pay
* Merged knight questing reaction system

**SMALLER FEATURES**

Some smaller but still noteworthy features, a hilarious suggestion from /u/chronoligcal, when in the scorpion fighting pit now there's a small chance the 'scorpion' that comes out is actually a goblin in disguise. Now the goblinstone in Wildwood can be captured and colonised by savages (only if there are enough savages elsewhere). Free slaves is now do-able from the laws screen too and the whole free slaves process has had a little facelift, and you can generate masks in the extras menu because why not!

* Added chance that scorpion in scorp fighting pit is actually a goblin holding sharp claws (questionable scorpion) (credit u/Chronoligcal)
* Made goblinstone in wildwood colonisable by savages (rare)
* Added seperate introduction text to celebration from throne room (so the single use festival you pay for from entertainment is a little different from the one every x years you declared)
* Reworked screens for freeing slaves and slave soldiers (+new graphic)
* Added ability to free slaves in social laws screen too (credit 71)
* Added random mask generator to extras menu

**NEW SOUNDS**

Not a huge sound increase but a few little ones, I've got a big folder full of new sounds I plan to add to the game when I can, just trying to find the right places for them.

* Added new Ahem sound effect (now when used the game picks one at random)
* Added new Yeah sound effect
* Added new chain break sound effect to freeing slaves

**NEW REACTIONS**

As with the last update a good focus on expanding the reactions system, I want to ensure it really does feel fresh and different and that you couldn't predict what would happen, any suggestions for reactions in the throne room are always welcome!

* Added 'I shall find glory in your name' knight reaction to questing
* Added 'Sword be guided' knight reaction to questing
* Added 'sweet throne' no gold reaction
* Added 'sorry sigh' no gold reaction

* Added 'awkward' no gold reaction
* Added 'YEAH' Deep voice shout reaction to thank you
* Added 'Nervous humble man' reaction to thank you
* Added 'Exaggerated power' reaction to thank you
* Added 'Feinting man' reaction to thank you

**AARDWOLVES**

Aardwolves are in the game now, a small foxlike creature from africa, Aard being afrikaans for earth, so really they are earthwolves!

* Added New Race 'Aardwolf Folk'
* Added New Race 'Aardwolfmen'
* Added New Race 'Were-Aardwolfs'
* Added New Race 'Evolved Aardwolfs'
* Added New Race 'Half-Aardwolfs'
* Added New Race 'Shapeshifting Aardwolfs'
* Added New Race 'Aardwolflings'
* Added new kingdom type 'Aardwolfdom'
* Added new creature 'Aardwolf'

**BUGFIXES**

Not too many bugs this time around but I imagine there are still tons unfound!

* Fixed missing 'an' in intro for old ruined village in wildwood
* Fixed mercenary groups 4 and 5 not being accessible if the first merc groups land was taken
* Fixed celebration text grammar
* Fixed celebration commedian text colour bug
* Fixed jester introduction line break bug
* Fixed typo in sudden death encounter 'for instead of force'
* Fixed sudden death robbery reaction not giving correct name to the man
* Fixed one of the 6 laughing sound effects not working

**EVERYTHING ELSE**

* Made demonic dialogue text match exactly what the overlord voice actually says
* Reworded killing a guard independent refugee encounter text
* Increased cost of Demon Shield by 100k (credit Defender)

And that's it, let me know what you thought guys!

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 18, 2019, 10:28:12 am: Another little update here and probably the last before I'm away for a week, this one has a few main things and then lots of smaller stuff like bugfixes and new reactions in the throne room.

**NEW MAJOR FEATURES**

Now there are 26 billion masks and kingdoms can have new names, so instead of 'Kingdom of Krugg' or 'The New Nocturnal Land of Ngmek' you can find places just called Krugg or Ngmek, just single named entities, because why not!

**CHAMPION GUARDS**

An issue with assassinations was raised by ecclark, and in my opinion you should be able to essentially solve any problem in your kingdom with enough gold, so now there are better upgrades to pretty much remove assassinations of your grand champion from the game.

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 29, 2019, 02:41:41 pm: Hey guys so another quick update, this one focuses primarily on three areas, the presentation of the laws screen, guard helmets and adding more reactions.

**LAWS SCREEN REVAMPED**

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on May 30, 2019, 12:47:38 pm: This update has had a few focuses, mainly improving the hiring and firing of the grand champion, end of turn event screens (of which there are now far more) how bluetrii works before battle, and a few other things.

**NEW HELMETS**

Building on from last updates helmet system there are now 205k more helmets, previously the system had a good range but I love piling the procedural systems with content to make the possible outcomes get silly, you probably wont see a fraction of a percentage of these helmets but you can certainly try.

* Added 205'000 new helmets (was 20k now 225k)

**GRAND CHAMPION IMPROVEMENTS**

As suggested by steam player '71' the ability to hire the grand champion was removed from game a while ago due to bugs but never re-added despite reference to being able to hire the champion, so I came back and added the system again as well as some additional screens for bribing him to fight, and how he appears in the hall of fame if he joins you with a valid number of victories.

* Added ability to hire grand champion from grand champion screen (chance he'll refuse) (credit 71)
* Added new screens to bribing grand champion and refusal
* Added grunt sound effect when asking champion to fight again and refusing
* Added coin sound to bribing champion to fight more fights
* Added new Arena hall of fame tag (retired into king's service)

**END OF TURN SCREENS**

Prior to this update all these events would be single lines in your end of turn report, these are some more noteworthy events worth having their own screen to ensure you understand the imporance of them, each of them have a graphic and a sound effect.

* Added special end of turn pop up screen for Bandit Horde collapse of low troops
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for destruction of slavers fort (only if you have unlocked the slavers fort on your map)
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for faction doom event
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for arena built event
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for minor bandit gang merging with phenors horde
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for wasting kingdom collapse
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for wasting kingdom refugees
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for cousin returning with army

**BLUETRII SCREEN**

They way using this magic fruit is displayed before a battle is very unintuitive and scrappy, now it's got it's own screen and graphic and can be easily disabled if it gets annoying!

* Added new screen for bluetrii before battle
* Added ability to disable bluetrii pop-ups before battle from the pop-up itself
* Added special screen for being able to eat one barrel of bluetrii
* Added new screen showing use of the fruit and addition to battlescore
* Added new dynamic sound effects for eating bluetrii before battle (4 different sounds)

**NEW SOUNDS**

The effort to fill Warsim with sound effects continues!

* Added new sword clink sound effect for champion joining you
* Added grunt sound to skugg the blackmarket slums slaver
* Added new laughing sound effect
* Added two new doom sounds
* Added new whistling wind sound effect

**NEW UPGRADES**

The slave revolt seems more like an eventuality than something that may happen, now with these upgrades you can protect the fort a little better if you own it!

* Added slaver fort walls upgrade (10000 gold) (harder for slaves to revolt)
* Added slaver fort better walls upgrade (20000 gold) (even harder for slaves to revolt)

**NEW NAME SUFFIXES**

A new bundle of name suffixes seeing as I haven't added any in a while, may have gotten carried away with the blood-related names but they sound cool. My favourite is 'Very-Stable-Genius' can't wait to find a kingdom ruled by someone with that suffix!

* Added new name suffix 'The Last of his Line' (+45 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodwalker' (+51 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodswimmer' (+30 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodwasher' (+25 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodpainter' (+41 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodcollector' (+49 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'the Unstable' (-10 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'the Stable' (+1 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'the Very-Stable-Genius' (-50 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'the Capable' (+30 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'the Incapable' (-5 Battlescore)

**BUSHPIGS**

Bushpigs are now in the game, why? I needed to pad this update out that's why! Now you can encounter a Bushpigdom of Bushpigmen!

* Added New Race 'Bushpig Folk'
* Added New Race 'Bushpigmen'
* Added New Race 'Were-Bushpigs'
* Added New Race 'Evolved Bushpigs'
* Added New Race 'Half-Bushpigs'
* Added New Race 'Shapeshifting Bushpigs'
* Added New Race 'Bushpiglings'
* Added new kingdom type 'Bushpigdom'
* Added new creature 'Bushpig'

**BUGFIXES**

That second bug is pretty weird.

* Fixed strongth hirable from slum pit (credit 71)
* Fixed replacement champion for demoted arena champion steals previous champions face if the previous champion is demoted for refusing a bribe
* Fixed grammar issue with void army rise event

**EVERYTHING ELSE**

And some other little things that you probably wont come across in game!

* Made slave revolt against slavers fort slightly rarer
* Rewrote texts for slaver fort revolt end of turn report
* Added if minor bandit gang merges with phenor now gang's leader joins phenor as elite unit (disgraced hero 280 battlescore)
* Rewrote barren lands text
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on June 03, 2019, 04:41:06 am: Hey guys, so this update has been stewing for a few days and has mainly stemmed from me playing the game and then finding stuff during my playthroughs to update, I spent extensive time messing around with the arena as well as lots of bugfixing and updating, there's quite a bit of new and improved stuff in this update!

**A POLISHED ARENA**

After finishing working on the arena a few updates back I didn't think there was much to improve on, but recent testing and brainstorming has led to massive changes, including reworking the hall of fame which now has 3x longer descriptions for the dead heroes and it's own music. Demotion works differently, special events regarding champions that were previously blocked now happen, there are new screens for buying/taking over the arena, setting arena rules and laws has been improved and upgrades are explained a little better. Bribing the grand champion to fight again will also not cost as much unless you are bigger and more powerful.

* Added new dynamic descriptions to the busts of champions in the hall of fame
* Added new explanation text for Arena size upgrade effects in arena upgrades screen
* Added new screen when demoting a grand champion where you can choose how the replacement is selected (3 options) random replacement, later duel, immediate duel
* Added new system for bribing champion based on aslona lands (under 5 is 500gold)(under 10 is 1000)(under 25 is 1500)(more than 25 is 2500)
* Added 3 variants of resigned path for arena grand champion
* Added Arena champion who joins rebellion joins as a Rebel Lord not a soldier (+2000 gold to rebels)
* Added Arena champion who joins bandit horde joins as disgraced hero not a warlord (+2000 gold to bandits)
* Added new screen for champion refusing to join your personal retinue
* Added new screen for taking the arena from family member
* Added new screen for buying the arena
* Added secret coded 404 in arena to wipe champion and allow for a champion challenge
* Added new ominous loop to hall of fame in arena
* Added new screen for setting arena fights to play by play
* Rewrote arena upgrade text

**GOBLIN DEVELOPMENTS**

This is kind of a silly reference to an older part of the game, in the early days of warsim's exploration screen there was a single region of locations, one of them was a small goblin settlement that could be developed to absurd levels to provide cheap goblin hirelings, well this is similar but not as powerful. Still get to the point where you're raking in up to 2.5k goblin troops per turn. (Note: will be adding issues in the future for any kingdom where the goblins outnumber all others, so this will not be the most viable situation if you aren't also getting lots of other troops)

* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin Hamlet) 30000 gold (0-35 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin Hamlet) 40000 gold (0-45 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin Hamlet) 55000 gold (0-60 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin Town) 70000 gold (0-80 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin Town) 100000 gold (0-120 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin Town) 135000 gold (0-150 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin City) 150000 gold (0-200 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin City) 200000 gold (0-250 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin City) 250000 gold (0-350 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin Megacity) 350000 gold (0-500 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Huge Goblin Megacity) 500000 gold (0-750 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin City-State) 750000 gold (0-1000 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Huge Goblin City-State) 1000000 gold (0-2500 goblin per turn)

**NEW SMALLER FEATURES**

Now the throne room has a little more detailed blurb depending on how many visitors there are, there is now a bonus stat in the kingdom stats screen showing which kingdom is most densely populated which was quite interesting to see, now when a civ gets more civilised their people get a little stronger too. I was playtesting recently and in one event an emissary I sent got killed and I was sent his head, now there's dynamic a screen and graphic for that.

* Added Dynamic 19 different possible texts depending on how many visitors you have in throne room
* Added new screen to kingdom stats showing which faction is most densely packed
* Added 5% increase for all units battlescore when their kingdom gets more civilised
* Added new screen for getting sent your emissaries head

**END OF TURN SCREENS**

Continuing on from the last update I've made two more single line end of turn events now have their own screen as they are relevant to the game, though if you haven't discovered the blackmarket you won't get a pop up as it's far less relevant.

* Added special end of turn pop up screen for blackmarket century festival
* Added end of turn small notification of century festival if you haven't discovered the blackmarket
* Added new special end of turn pop up screen for great thundering skies secret event
* Added ability to understand thundering sky event more if your spymaster has a skill of 160+

**NEW SOUNDS**

A bunch of new sounds, now warsim has over 350+ sound files in total, shocked me when I counted them up but I guess the sound file has been growing recently!

* Added marching sound to northwatch reinforcing thickblood event
* Added new deathsound for dead emissary event
* Added gold coin sound effect when giving 1000 gold to cousin in throne room
* Added 4 new sounds for mmm sound
* Added mmm sound effects to 2 broke encounters in throne room
* Added new thundering sound effect
* Added 3 sound effects to dragon wench knight game
* Added grunt sound to arsam the all knowing intro

**NEW REACTIONS**

Only one new one, this is just someone reacting reasonably to you being broke.

* Added new 'what can you do' reaction to having no gold

**BUGFIXES**

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on June 22, 2019, 09:41:13 am: I want to start by saying that this may be one of my favourite updates in a long time, not that I don't like monster trainers or the improved arena or anything like that, but as the developer of a video game it's very hard to find something new that you haven't seen before, I've made every aspect of this game myself so I know it like my own hand... Until now.

As of the last Warsim update we had 396'775 races in the game, which I'll admit is a lot still, more than anyone could hope to see in 10'000 warsim playthroughs, but I wanted to find a way to get this number higher with a plan to submit the final figure to guiness as a possible video game world record.

After a lot more beasts added, tons of race prefixes, and some new types of race modifications things were looking good, but the real twist was a new concept to combine some of the race prefixes by splitting them into two categories, I thought about the elder scrolls and how they have Dark Elves in the game just like you can find in Warsim, I thought you could also get Reaving Dark Elves and it wouldn't sound out of place, but you couldn't have Reaving Laughing Elves, that just sounds silly.

So I split all of the prefixes into two categories, ones that are more like states and others that are more like traits, this creates a huge combo system where some races will use to random but mergeable traits to create races that we can't imagine, so to follow my earlier point about being a dev, with this new system the races that come from it are completely beyond my imagination and are basically always a surprise for me despite the fact I made the game, meaning I can experience things like the players do!

I am so hyped to bring this update to you guys and I hope you find some weird and wonderful races as a result of this, feel free to share any really weird ones or funny ones!

Oh and with all the new content and the new system in place, the total number of possible races in Warsim as of this update are... 55'822'936! 55.8 Million races! Hopefully we'll hear back from the world record people and Warsim can potentially get a world record!

**RACE GENERATOR WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT**

* Added new race prefix stack system for race generation allowing for some extended race prefixes
* Added tons of new beast races to the game
* Total races in Warsim now 55'822'936 (was 396'775 as of last update)

**NEW RACES**

Some new races added, Fungus folk are kind of like mushroom men but green and with different troop trees, People are a new race of humanoids who differ to normal humans a little bit, and finally beast races now have additional modifiers that can get us some more weird and wonderful races like Demi-Pugs or Exo-Snails!

* Added new base race 'Fungus Folk' (Seedling, Living Fungus, Fungus Master) large population, really weak lower tier unit
* Added new type of animal race 'Exo' (Exo-Dogs, Exo-Tigers, Exo-Worms)
* Added new race type 'People' (Person, Warrior Person, Guardian Person)
* Added new type of animal race 'Demi' (Demi-Hawks, Demi-Wolves, Demi-Frogs)

**NEW RACE PREFIXES**

I'm actually really happy with a lot of these prefixes, some of them are little more than race descriptions and have no bearing on how they act, but generally as a rule I like to make the prefixes have an effect if I can, this allows for different races to have completely differing effects and with the new update it's possible for some of these to stack in weird ways. My favourite of the new prefixes are Fragile which sets the race to such low strength it would be light fighting glass people, Crying which has them cry out if you attack their lands, and Deformed which removes a random part of the deformed creatures face creating all manner of weird looking people!

* Added new race prefix 'Sparse' slightly more savage, +5 battlescore, obsurdly low population
* Added new race prefix 'Breeding' 5x population -10 battlescore
* Added new race prefix 'Subterranian' +12 battlescore

**BUGFIXES**

Lots of bugfixes here including some that have been on my list for quite some time, the most annoying two bugs were grand champions getting killed in a tournment and then not appearing in the hall of fame, after losing a favourite champion of mine in a game to this it got personal, also independent lords not having faces relevant to the race, so eyeless vampires in your throne room, and their leader would be eyeless but the lords would just be regular vampires... not anymore!

* Fixed ditch race description

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on July 05, 2019, 06:09:44 am: Wasn't planning on releasing this as an update but I discovered a game breaking bug with the race generation system and had to release this to ensure it doesn't mess up anyones game, luckily what I'd already worked on prior to the fix is enough for a nice little update!

**MAJOR FEATURES**

Now before a normal random races game, you can choose an additional choice of going like normal and taking what you're given or give yourself the option to review and reject the random races in your world and try for another random set, this allows lots of players to get a true feel for the randomness of the game and to get a game start more suited to them while still being random as hell.

Also in the extras menu generators screen there is now something called 'Advanced Race Generator' which allows you to spawn a big list of however many races you want.

* Added new menu for selecting races before a normal game
* Added new system for kingdom names to include weird proc genned name systems
* Added new graphical end of turn screen for any assassinations ordered by the player
* Added new extras generators race generator page where you can generate as many races as you choose (select a number)

**ANOTHER RACE EXPANSION**

The last few days I've been working through lists of suggestions and ideas for new prefixes for the race system as well as tweaking and adding new abilities to them, this coupled with the new 'taur' system mentioned below has resulted in an additional 10'079'211 races in Warsim. (Was 59'361'042 before, now 69'440'253). Many of these new races will have unique effects such as 3 sets of eyes, fixed leader personalities, longer heads and so on.

**GOODBYE CENTAARS**

This update contains another huge improvement to the race generator and its randomness, thanks to
a suggeston by u/Nighteye424, the idea was to have half-horse half-(everything) races instead of
just centaurs (half-horse half-man) or our special race of centaars (half-horse half-elf) centaars
were added long ago and well before the randomness of this race generator had picked up but now
they are no longer needed so they have been removed.

In their place however is a system that can generate tons of potential races including stuff like
Goblintaurs, Orctaurs, Elvetaurs, Trowtaurs, Trolltaurs, Cthuultaurs. Each of these races is it's
primary counterpart and half-horse giving them a battle bonus and a new name and description.

Now the races you find in the game can be even more random, though it's still rare to see a 'taur'
type race in game!

* Removed Centaars from the game
* Added new 'taurs' affix that can be added to all non-beast default races (except Men, Folk, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Minotaars, Satyr, Faun) as cool as it would be to see some Mentaurs...

**MINOR FEATURES**

Now King Gurnak has a face, All throne room executions look a little better, and freeing slaves screen has been improved with a new unique graphic!

Post by: Huw2k8 on July 10, 2019, 11:06:26 am: **WARSIM GENDER CHOICE UPDATE**

Hey guys, so I'm going to start this update with something I've needed to add for quite some time but just haven't gotten round to, when I first made this game it wasn't meant to be for anyone else, it was just a little test project to play around, because of that I never bothered adding options for how to be referred to, but I realised recently after watching a stream by a female streamer that it can be a little bit immersion breaking for those who want to imagine themselves in those roles being referred to as a King and a Lord, I've now added a system to allow the player to be male or female, but also to set their own titles of referal for anything non-binary or your own wacky titles, more freedom of playstyle is never a bad thing, sorry to anyone who has been waiting a while for this!

* Added new female name generator for choosing random names before game
* Added ability to play as a queen (or custom title) instead of always a king
* Added new graphic for choosing difficulty as a queen
* All references to Mister in game are now dynamic (Mister, Misses, CUSTOM)
* All references to m'lord in game are now dynamic (M'lord, M'lady, CUSTOM)
* All references to lord in game are now dynamic (Lord, Lady, CUSTOM)

P.S. I've tried to replace every single reference to the player being male, but there may be some I've missed so if someone plays as female and spots any I've missed please message me and I will update them to be dynamic! Thanks

**NEW MINOR FEATURES**

Two minor features I couldn't put anywhere else, now you can see the breakdown of unit battlescore in the troop report screen thanks to /u/nolat and there is dynamic text for the mercenary screen now that hopefully clears it up for some who don't click into the mercenary groups under the premise they'll have to pay to do it.

* Added new dynamic battlescore breakdown in troop report (for all troops including independent randomly generated ones) (credit u/Nolat)
* Added new dynamic intro text for mercenary screen

**MONSTER TRAINER UPDATE IMPROVEMENTS**

Nothing major but I've added additional variation for the monster hunting expedition, now it's more random and some groups dynamic text will give them a higher chance of success.

* Added 3 new additional possible dialogues for sending troops on monster capture expedition
* Added some dialogues will result in higher success rates from capturing a monster with no casualties

Post by: Huw2k8 on July 16, 2019, 08:18:28 am: **THE GOBLIN SLAVER EXPANDED**

While looking into the goblins and goblin slavery being banned I realised how flat and shallow the goblin slaver is, it's just a line of text and a random price cost of goblins set at each game start, I figured it could be far far more dynamic and interactive and so I spent the last two days making it just that. Now the goblin slaver isn't just some line of text, it's a real character with their own personality, battlescore, face, and name. You have a relationship with them that can grow and earn you bonuses and each goblin slaver will be different from the last with their own combination of a trait and their battlescores effect, meaning you might find a slaver giving his goblins away, or one selling them for 1000 gold each, or perhaps he's selling a bunch of humans painted green, it's all possible now!

* Added goblin slavers capturing ability tethered to their battlescore
* Added new type of goblin slaver (recruiter) More goblins each turn
* Added new type of goblin slaver (penny pincher) pays you half tribute
* Added new type of goblin slaver (generous) pay you twice tribute
* Added new type of goblin slaver (berserk) instead of selling normal goblins, sells berserkers (but has less slaves)
* Added new type of goblin slaver (mercantile) goblins twice as expensive, tribute is twice as much too
* Added new type of goblin slaver (discounted) goblins twice as cheap, tribute half as much
* Added new type of goblin slaver (coin collector) goblins cost 1 gold each
* Added new type of goblin slaver (misvalued) goblins cost 1000 gold each, tribute is 4x as much
* Added new type of goblin slaver (giver) goblins are free, cannot gain relation, captures less goblins
* Added new type of goblin slaver (berserk and cheap) goblins are berserkers and cost 1 gold each
* Added new type of goblin slaver (slaver) "goblins" are actually human slaves painted green
* Added new type of goblin slaver (efficient) can store 10x as many goblins
* Added new type of goblin slaver (stable) guarenteed at least half of the max capturable goblins each turn instead of full rng
* Added new goblin slaver slot in diplomacy screen
* Added ability to talk to goblin slaver with dynamic dialogue based on stats
* Added chance to gain relation with goblin slaver +1 for every 100 goblins bought (max 100 relation)
* Added global goblin slaver relationship that if hits -100 no goblin slavers will ever come again
* Added ability to have goblin slaver executed (-20 global relationship)
* Added 1015 Cheat (spawn new goblin slaver)
* Added 1016 Cheat (set slavers trait to specific trait from list)
* Added 1017 Cheat (adds 1000 goblin slaves to slavers ranks)
* Now goblin recruitment is based on the lands of Krut and Erak instead of Aslona Lands (so less goblins will be available if you annihilate the goblin clans)
* Added alternate dynamic graphics for goblin berserkers (5 graphics)
* Added alternate dynamic graphics for recruiting slaves painted green (5 graphics)
* Added 1 in 6 chance of goblin hunter fleeing from being hunted by goblin warlord
* Added 1 in 6 chance of goblin revolt (depending how many goblins held)
* Added 1 in 6 chance of goblin slaver being replaced by competitor
* Added full dialogues for goblin slaver (4 questions with dynamic responses)
* Added chance of +2 berserkers gift each year depending on personal relationship with slaver
* Added chance of +2 goblins gift each year depending on personal relationship with slaver
* Added chance of +half standard tribute gift each year depending on personal relationship with slaver
* Added if max relationship then you will get one of the above gifts each year

**BANDIT KING IMPROVEMENT**

I was looking through my to-do list and spotted this feature concept, it makes sense too, as a bandit king you will now recruit a mix of soldiers and bandits (mostly bandits) each turn unless you declare forceful enlistment.

* Added playing as bandit king will give you soldiers and bandits as recruits each turn

**GOBLIN DESERTION REWORK**

It was brought to my attention that the goblin desertion events were happening even with slavery banned, I checked and it was the same for celebrations too, I think it shouldn't be this way so now its fixed and there are new positive events to take its place.

* Made goblin desertion events 50x rarer if you have goblin slavery banned (credit Chara66613)
* Made goblin desertion events 50x rarer if you have goblin celebraiton (credit Chara66613)
* Made goblin desertion events 9999x rarer if you have both goblin celebration and slavery banned (credit Chara66613)
* Added small goblin joining pack end of turn event (if goblin celebration active and goblin slavery banned)

**SPONTANEOUS TOURNAMENTS**

Tournaments are fun and so is the Arena, but for some players tournaments are a far off concept they won't get to see, I thought it would only be fair if the independent arena owners occasionally went and ran their own tournament, so now in the early game you may notice that a tournament is underway and the arena wont function as it normally does, I've also expanded tournaments a little bit with a new introductory screen.

* Added new intro for declaring a tournament
* Added ability for arena not held by the player to hold tournaments too (1 in 6 chance each year)
* Added new pre-tournament text for arena owner dynamic depending on their personality
* Updated layout of bet screen in tournaments

**NEW NAMES**

Not as many as the last update but added a couple more names to keep things fresh.

* Added 5 new faction name generator parts
* Added 10 new female character names
* Added 10 protofolk names

**THE LUCKY GNOME**

What started as a small idea to expand the blackmarket stalls became a multi-pathed questline that took me hours to put in, make sure you swing by and see it for yourself, but beware the consequences.

* Added new mini questline (with multiple diverse outcomes and dynamic systems) 'The Lucky Gnome'
* Added new dynamic change to blackmarket gallows depending on outcome of quest
* Added new economic stagnation effect to blackmarket depending on outcome of quest
* Added new sound effect 'Gnome Squeeze'

**BUGFIXES**

A couple of bugfixes, mainly catching up with missed parts of the last gender update though I feel there are probably some more nested about!

* Fixed 'one true king' intro text error (credit u/Nighteye424)
* Fixed grammar issues in intro court event
* Fixed another king reference in intro text
* Fixed intro text grammar issue
* Fixed bluetrii stand buying and selling layout
* Fixed bluetrii stall owner having blue skin bug
* Fixed cruel ways to rule book visible even before bought (credit KlickPy from Discord)
* Fixed Arena grand champ beaten in a tournament doesn't get his tourney wins counted on his hall of fame record
* Fixed trumpet fail sound effect not working

**EVERYTHING ELSE**

* Added 8 circle flag parts to the faction flag generator
* Added rare chance the recruitment screen main graphic shows an alternate graphic
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on July 19, 2019, 10:52:53 am: **FULLY CUSTOM RACES**

* You can now choose a prefix to go along with race selection giving you full control

**PRE-BATTLE SCREEN IMPROVEMENTS**

Now when you're under attack you will not be given the same text everytime, hopefully improving things to be more dynamic and different over time!

**NEW THRONE ROOM ENCOUNTERS**

* Made 8-man tourney have two screens at the end (tourney chart, winners face)

-
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! :)

Post by: Huw2k8 on August 01, 2019, 10:26:44 am: 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

* Added ability to turn knight to hero on recruit hero screen (needs to do a trial to be promoted)
* Added ability to give knight the trial 'Find a rock atop mount Saaroth' (hard, reward: public opinion)
* Added ability to give knight the trial 'Find a random artifact' (finds a random artifact, reward: gold value of the random artifact)
* Added ability to give knight the trial 'Brawl another hero' (reward: knight gains 5+ battlescore if he wins)
* Added ability to bypass trial for a modest public opinion loss
* Added ability to hold a ceremony (costs 100 gold) for the new champion
* Added ability to proceed without ceremony for a modest public opinion loss
* Added new knight heroes will have Aslona helmets in their face graphic
* Added new knight heroes will have a special uniquely modified origin story including their journey as a knight to a hero
* Added 5 different pre-set knight suffixes for the champions

**SLIMES**

Added a new slime creature warsim's system!

* 266'823 new slime based races available in the game! (now 75 million total races)
* Added New Race 'Slime Folk'
* Added New Race 'Slimemen'
* Added New Race 'Were-Slimes'

* Added New Race 'Exo-Slimes'
* Added New Race 'Demi-Slimes'
* Added New Race 'Slimelings'

* Added new name suffix 'the Fleshsculptor' (+39 battlescore) (credit Defender)

**HERO ORIGIN STORIES**

After adding the new knight to hero system which uses hero origin stories I thought adding another big burst of them would be good!

* Added 'Used Wolf-hide coat seller' hero origin story
* Added 'still an adventurer' hero origin story
* Added 'Grandparents farm' hero origin story
* Added 'Slave friend' hero origin story
* Added 'Assaulted Recruiter' hero origin story

* Added 'Village guard burned village' hero origin story

**QUIT CROWNING AROUND**

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

* Rewrote classic viewing crown screen (now used for friendly and neutral leaders)

Under the latest steam proton I'm only getting the music and an infinite loop message: "Invalid Input, please reenter"

On the plus side, i'm getting work done I otherwise would not be doing had Warsim booted.

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

Post by: Huw2k8 on August 23, 2019, 08:26:52 pm: 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**

The odds of getting a ghost kingdom are fairly small but even so it didn't make any sense that diplomacy worked the same for invisible ghosts as it does for others, now that's changed

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

* Added dynamic screens and sound effects to Black Bank unpaid

**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.

* Added ability to have the first region of each direction pre-discovered in custom game (credit defender)

* Fixed loading bar appearing in ascii-disabled warsim (credit Rtt)

Post by: martinuzz on September 05, 2019, 12:37:53 pm: Just bought it because it looks like some good fun.
My first 2 cents: change going back from menus from <0> <return> to <esc>, would make navigating the menus a lot quicker.

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)
* Added ability to upgrade goblin settlement within the screen
* Added 20 different graphics for the stages of the goblin settlement

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!

* Added Raging Book Shop to Blackrow in Blackmarket
* Added Bookrage from Audiogames.net as a character (Defenders Idea)

JUST JOKING

Added 8 jokes that can appear being said by in game jesters and comedians

MORE NAME SUFFIXES

This was supposed to be 50 features but as it's a send off I've broken the rules a bit and gone a lot further on this update than I intended, 100s and 100s of bugfixes and tons of little featurettes, the crowning feature being naming your kingdom finally!

WARSIM THE REALM OF... WHATEVER

Something I've been wanting to do for a very long time, it has been requested by so many players I've lost count, now you can name your kingdom anything you want not just Aslona. I've tried to scrub the game of references to Aslona if you are playing custom but I guarentee I've missed loads so if you find any in your Non-Aslona playthroughs share them with me and I'll sort them out!

* Added the ability to select your own kingdom name at game start

* Rewrote text for destroying monument of kings
* Added destruction sound effect to Monument of Kings

BLACKMARKET LAYOUT IMPROVEMENTS

Now you can see your gold in more screens in the Blackmarket, it's annoying not knowing your gold when you're trying to buy things!

* Added new layout for hiring goblin scum from the market (including seeing your current gold)
* Added kingdom stats bar to each blackmarket district main screen and district selection screen
* Added new layout for hiring slavers from slums slaver post (including seeing your current gold)

SLUM GOLD SYSTEM IMPROVED

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on September 18, 2019, 06:38:46 am: 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

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 men from merc captain leaders (if truced)
* Added ability to sell men to expert recruiter leaders (if truced)

* 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 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**

A couple of bugs and tweaks done during the development, also a little cheat code for testing different types of bandit leader!

* 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
* Reworked layout of minor bandit screen
* Merged minor bandit code and made it 5x more efficient

Post by: Huw2k8 on November 04, 2019, 01:32:09 pm: 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

DEV PLAYS BUGS AND FIXES

During the Devs Plays video I did here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDsXAFqSzSU&feature=youtu.be) I encountered a number of bugs! Now none of them exist.

* Added Long live you throne room encounter

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on November 12, 2019, 09:43:25 am: 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 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 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

* 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 new screen for raiding rihhm

Post by: bluephoenix on November 14, 2019, 05:29:15 am: This looks interesting and you're pumping out those updates really quickly which is admirable.

Gonna dig into the game myself and see what it is all about.

EDIT: Bought it and played for a few hours so far. It's great fun.

Successfully invaded an enemy independent nation, got a whistling gnome musician as my court minstrel and made the people like me.

The realm exploration part is a bit confusing though, I found a mine and it gives me the option to attack it but it doesn't give me any information on what will happen if I do choose to attack it (will it get destroyed, do I take it over?) I'm also not quiet sure if the other factions can capture/destroy the various villages and landmarks to the north/east/south/west or if I'm the only one who has access to them.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on November 14, 2019, 09:55:26 am: Hey Bluephoenix, Thank you a bunch for the support! :)

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. As for the exploration attacking the mine will give it to you if you win, then you can put your peasants in there to work for you. As for other factions capturing the lands, there are one or two locations that can be effected by outside influence but otherwise it's just you.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: bluephoenix on November 14, 2019, 07:17:52 pm: Ah okay thanks.

Do you mind if I sometimes post questions in here?
Or report bugs? (The only bug I found was when someone comes to see me in the throne room and I select an option that doesn't exist like option 5 when there are only option 1-3 it kicks me back to the main throne room screen and the person disappears with the game not telling me what happened to his request)
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on November 15, 2019, 05:27:27 am: No problem that's fine by me. I'll look into the throne room thing! :)
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on November 17, 2019, 07:00:32 pm: 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 Arena upgrades
* Added new colour system for Prison upgrades
* Added new colour system for Throne room 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)

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

* Made Garden races have baby faces

* Fixed order of race effects file

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on December 09, 2019, 12:02:57 pm: Hello everyone, while work ramps up more on the combat stuff I've still been bobbing in and out of fixing and adding things here and there, and as usual this has cumulated into enough for a nice little update. Still now that combat is in the testing phase these side updates may drop in frequency as combat development amplifies even more.

BEAST RACE DEVELOPMENTS

I saw a magic the gathering card online while searching for new warsim ideas, the card was Beetleform Mage . This gave me the idea to add a prefix that would take any animal and turn it into a mage form race. So you can get 'Dogform Mages' 'Turtleform Mages' 'Eagleform Mages', they will have a lower race population but will usually be fairly civilised. Thanks to the complexity of the games race generator at this point, adding the new beast type modifier adds 262 new beast form core races that mixed with the many combinations and singular race prefixes takes us from 85.9 million possible races to 94.8 million, which is quite a huge jump!

Check the card out here - https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-0kvv9/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/250977/345775/mtgdragonsmazebeetleformmage__94788.1519978736.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on

* Added 'ANIMALform Mages' beast race type (+8'891'494 new possible races)
* Now 94'887'852 possible races, Was 85,996,358
* Updated Animal folk description (credit u/TrueIronKing)
* Updated Animalmen description (credit u/TrueIronKing)
* Updated Demi-Animal race description (credit u/TrueIronKing)

BLACKMARKET PEACE

Some of you may not know that with a chaos orb artifact it's possible to calm the blackmarket down and put essentially a peace seal on it, meaning you can't attack it, brawls don't happen in taverns etc, it was pointed out that the screens related to this little side effect were so poorly done it wasn't even clear why they were happening, I have since upgraded all of them from single short lines to having their own screens and being far clearer.

* Added new screen and sound effect for removing chaos orb from sewer wall
* Added new screen and sound effect for putting chaos orb in sewer wall
* Added new screen for wall watcher prophecy screen
* Added new screen for pitside tavern brawl blocked by market peace
* Added new screen for slums pit blocked by market peace
* Added new screen for dragons kneecap tavern blocked by market peace
* Added new screen for blackrow tavern blocked by market peace
* Added improved screen for being unable to attack the blackmarket explaining it's due to chaos orb in sewer wall (credit u/Ziven001)
* Updated graphic of the wall with the orb in it

SOUND EFFECTS

Not much in the way of sound development but a random sound effect that is used lots in the game is further diversified.

* Added 3 new Mmm sound effects used in various places in game (from Cafofo's sound pack)

PREFIXES

A bunch of new prefixes, my favorite is 'The Pilferer' just because it sounds funny to me. There he is Halmyr the Pilferer!

* Added new name suffix 'Shadowcloak' (+21 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Audacious' (+9 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Whelk' (-10 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Envoy' (+5 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Dream-Feaster' (+39 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Agonised' (-5 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Opal' (+11 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Opaline' (+10 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'of the Farbogs' (+9 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'Nightwing' (+19 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Pilferer' (+1 battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Crawler' (+2 battlescore)

KINGDOM TYPES

Thanks almost entirely to u/RabidRab there's another big expansion of the kingdom types in the world further mixing up what kind of kingdoms you can find. The list includes some unusual ones such as the scottish based 'Mormaerdom' and the welsh based 'Teyrnas'

* Changed divine kingdom with pope ruler to Papacy (Credit u/RabidRab)

KINGDOM UPGRADE IMPROVEMENTS

And a slight immersion tweak in that having recruitment signs somewhat reduces people visiting you in the throne room asking to join you.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on December 16, 2019, 06:25:48 am: Hello everyone,

DRINKING OVERSIGHT

In a playtest where I had no gold I ended up getting drunk and ending up into minus gold, then realised no tavern drinking code had a check to see if you had the gold first, now they all do and a few other bugs were discovered and fixed during this process!

* Changed white milestone explore encounter to give 1 additional explore chance (credit Looker845)

Post by: Huw2k8 on December 20, 2019, 07:21:20 pm: Hello everyone,

So no combat update this friday and I won't be releasing an update until the first friday of the new year but instead here's something I've worked on this week!

Mods! I've wanted to do this for a while and decided it would be a nice idea as a gift to the Warsim community for Christmas!

Warsim - Mount and Blade Warband Mod

Here's an album showing off this mod - https://imgur.com/a/dtTTtQR

I spent a lot of time with this one as I'm a serious mount and blade fan. The player is a small faction at neutral with the main kingdoms of the mount and blade world (minus the vaegirs). The mod gives you full troop trees, each faction uses denars, all the leaders and major lords, mercenary companies and relevant bandit factions.

Perfect for a mount and blade fan! Beware though as the kingdoms of Calradia are pretty tough out of the gate.

Warsim - Skyrim Mod

The development of this mod began with one of the weirdest coincidences I've ever had in Warsim. I had pre-chosen where the main factions were going to go, first the Imperials, then Stormcloaks, etc. As I got to edit the faction names in the save file I saw that the second faction which was going to be Ulfrics factions was aptly randomly named Thumm (like Thuum, the name for the way of the voice in skyrim).

https://i.imgur.com/MEswxJ3.png

It was definitely a sign to ensure I dropped the best mod I could make!

Here's an album showing off the skyrim mod - https://imgur.com/a/idHxXKk

The mod sets you as Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun, with your staff being Proventius and Irileth. The world is made up of two major factions, the Imperials and the Stormcloaks (Imperials have more land, stormcloaks have more units), but also includes the College of Winterhold, The Forsworn, and the Thalmor as smaller main factions.

There are also bandits and mercenary groups relevant to the game, each faction uses septims as their currency and troop trees are all sorted. Faction relations were also fairly finely tweaked so that it makes sense who is fighting who.

Warsim - Uberhard Mod

This one is more just a challenge, the races of this world were specifically selected to be tough and are started with enlarged populations. Behemoth Trolls, Colossal Godlings, Titan Vampires, Nightmare Ogres, and Deatheater Wizards.

Good luck!

Where to play?

All of these mods should be loadable as save files from the latest updated version of the game on steam and itch.io!

I hope you all enjoy and have a great holiday period, and thank you all for the support in developing this game, it really means a lot!

Cheers

Huw

Post by: martinuzz on December 23, 2019, 01:20:37 pm: Just out of curiosity..
Did you put the 'garden' race variety in the game just so there can be garden gnomes? :D
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on December 23, 2019, 07:29:41 pm: It was absolutely where the idea originated from, but I laughed at the thought of Garden Trolls, and then considered some other possibilities and deemed while it might be silly, it would still be something that you could imagine existing in some wacky fantasy world so I put it in.

Garden Vampires and Garden Elves, All sorts of pesky little garden sized creatures.

There are lots of little changes and improvements in this update and I'm excited to release them. I want to thank everyone for the awesome support this last year and I hope everyone has a good Christmas.

DWARF FORTRESS MOD

Oh right and forgot to mention above, the great response to the other mods got me thinking, and given that both skyrim and mount and blade were great inspirations why not a mod honouring Dwarf fortress, a game which definitely was a great influence to Warsim. So here it is:

You play as a ruler called King Urist McYou and rule a small humble kingdom with a little population and territorial holding.

The Kingdoms you share the world with are - https://i.imgur.com/hcsroFp.png

* The Kingdom of Bronzemurder (Bronze Dwarves) - https://i.imgur.com/25wJqTA.png
* The Creation of Ferns (Elite Dwarves)
* Glazedcoast (Stupid Dwarves) - https://i.imgur.com/Nzmdh70.png
* The Kingdom of Boatmurdered (White Dwarves)
* The Field of Kindling (Cannibal Elves) - https://i.imgur.com/IzARnMi.png

The Creation of Ferns is somewhat of an anomaly being a dwarf kingdom ruled by an Elf - https://i.imgur.com/9sF8jRc.png

There are also 5 bandit groups - https://i.imgur.com/R7Y8a40.png

And several mercenary groups such as The Pit Dwarves led by Urist McKhur the Lost. - https://i.imgur.com/9tTSPTZ.png

You have a great group of staff to help you rule the realm. - https://i.imgur.com/TP11f4S.png

I've tried to honour Dwarf fortress as best as I can with the mod.

You will find the mod in your saves folder, just load the save called DFMOD.

I'd like also to welcome the hundreds of new people who have picked up Warsim this week during the christmas sale! Thank you for the support and welcome to the community.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to you all

Cheers

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 05, 2020, 08:38:10 pm: 16K SALES CELEBRATION

Hello everyone, so this update is something of a celebration for me and Warsim as I can happily (having checked steams recently updated rules that allow devs to talk numbers) announce that Warsim has sold over 16,000 copies on steam finally since it's entrance to the platform in June 2017.

I could never have imagined this would ever transpire and honestly want to thank every single person who contributed to that number and has the game in their steam library, it's not easy for a game that runs through a console and uses a purely text based visage to do well when competing with tens of thousands of games with flashy graphics but I'm glad we've been able to carve a place out here.

To celebrate I set myself a goal of making 160 feature and bugfix changes for an update and have finally today managed to complete it, that's only 1 feature per 100 copies sold but it's the best I can do :)

All jokes aside I am honored the game has done this well and hope it will continue along this path. I'm not stopping working on Warsim until I can complete a good number of major promised features as get it out of early access! (even post-ea I don't plan to stop with Warsim updates)

THE UPDATE

This update rather than having one single focus has many areas of improvement in different directions, now I plan to finish scrubbing through my immediate list of stuff that's accumulated over the holiday period before returning to combat update development!

COMBAT ACADEMY EXPANDED (17 features)

BANDIT SCOURGE REWORKED (2 features)

* Made bandit scourge cost 5 gold per bandit instead of 20 gold

MORE CRIME (12 features)

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 09, 2020, 01:33:57 pm: Hello everyone, so I'm putting this update out as I'm going away for a few days and won't be able to reply or work on the game at all. It's been hard work but there are a ton of things in this update that nicely improve the game, I am in such a rush I can't even make screenshots for the changelog so you'll have to see the changes yourself!

Will be back as normal by next week!

DEMON GATE INTRO (4 features)

* Added unique version of intro text if you are a demonic agent
* Added unique version of intro text if demonic horde is dead
* Added demon gate location name is changed to be less conspicuous until discovered

DEATH TO THE MAD KING (6 features)

The mad king is one of the possible game starts you can have, being the mad kings child offers the ability to speak to or release the mad king but no option to end it all and finish him off, now I've added it with a little bit of randomisation to how it goes including a rare random event.

Taking a tour of your new land, and filling the garrison with troops. As well as a new possible and stackable market boom event that can be triggered by certain aspects of these features.

ITEM DISCOVERY IN THE THRONE ROOM (25 features)

These item discovery encounters grow your treasury by the value of the item from a list of 60, the encounters are rarer the lower your public opinion is and there's also a very small chance that the item is some kind of illusionary trick. I have made sure they aren't super frequent but they should be completely randomly generated meaning even I can't predict what will happen, could make for some very interesting random throne room events that no one else has seen but you!

* Added found RANDOM ITEM near a tree throne room encounter
* Added Stole RANDOM ITEM from bandit warlord local to his village throne room encounter

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 24, 2020, 04:54:17 am: Hello Everyone, so this update comes at a big time! We have three things all colliding on this date: Hitting 1500 subscribers on the subreddit, The Steam Lunar Sale, And the Vassal update!

THE LUNAR SALE

Warsim is now 40% off on steam (http://"http://store.steampowered.com/app/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_Aslona/?beta=0") for the Lunar sale, now most if not all of the people reading the changelog on this sub already have the game and have seen it on sale many times before but as always if you don't have it nows the time, and if you know anyone who might like it!

I'm also always open for ideas on places to share or post the update/sale/or game in general, the internet is a broad place and the majority of the people there are not going to be Warsim players, but some might and I'm always up for finding them :)

THE VASSAL UPDATE

This is primarily an update of the vassal system but there are still 109 additional features and bugfixes alongside the vassal stuff so lots of new stuff to dig in to!

**VASSAL UPDATE (131 Total features)**

Vassals, the result of having great strength in the game but really not the strongest of features beyond it's symbolism. This update plans to change that and make vassals much more interactive as well as the process of getting them.

**LOOSE VASSAL UPDATE ITEMS (7 features)**

* Added all vassals have same actions you have with allies
* Fixed text colour and spacing of pre-existant vassal text
* Added ability to take 0 tribute gold from vassal (Credit Defender)

* Added a vassalisation randomised cooldown (3-18 years) once a kingdom rebels or gains independence from you
* Made it only possible to attempt to vassalise a kingdom once per year (used to be infinite stupidly)

**VASSAL REVOLTS (5 features)**

Treat your vassals bad and they will eventually revolt against you, how you deal with this is up to you!

* Added warning event when vassal is on the verge of revolt (6 dynamic responses depending on leader personality) (credit u/RabidRab)

**OFFER OF VASSALISATION (48 features)**

The offer of vassalisation previously was just one of two single lines of text based on a small relation and leader type based dice roll. You either got 'Our kingdom will burn before joining you', or 'KingdomLeader accepts'. Now that has been replaced with a large and dynamic system that allows you to choose an emissary to deliver such news as well as a much more complex system that decides on the outcome of the attempt with a fair bit of randomness dashed in. You can have coin flips, dead emissaries, preposterous offers, and lots more turning this once single line of information into a part of the game in its own right!

The faction relations screen has gone from being a pretty bad and tucked away feature to a much more easily usable and referenceable tool. Now while speaking to a faction you can check and see what their relations are to all other factions but also they are now colour marked so you can tell by the red and green who the allies and enemies are.

**BANDS OF MEN TO FIGHT THE DEMONS (5 features)**

There is an encounter triggered when the demon horde is active where a warrior brings a random number of soldiers to your court to join you, usually between 3 and 30 free soldiers and it's a moderately common encounter, well now it's been improved and expanded.

EXPLORATION DIVERSIFIED (63 features)

NEW ENCOUNTERS (43 Features)

Previously the game would pick some generic encounters to pop up while you explored, whether you were exploring the deep southern demon lands, the western woods, or the savage north, you'd get the same encounters. Now there are a huge number of new and mostly dynamic encounters that you may get while exploring each of these regions. Some of them are inconsequential and others are good fun!

THE REST OF THE UPDATE (63 features)
-

All of this was originally going to be the update until I spent the last three days working on the above system! This is still a juicy update in and of itself though, difficulty changes and several other systems being improved. Weirdly this ended up being the same number of features as the above, so it's kind of two identically sized updates.

DIFFICULTY REWORKS (12 features)

Warsim's difficulty choice mostly affects how the game starts off rather than how it progresses as you play, I have attempted here to do a bit more of both starting disadvantages as well as long term harder gameplay in certain areas. Now independent kingdoms will grow faster in population depending on the difficulty and many other locations garrisons are bigger. Randomisation still exists for troops costs and certain units but they will be higher on average with these new changes.

* Added kingdoms get a 1.5x increase in recruits in normal difficulty
* Added kingdoms get a 2x increase in recruits in hard difficulty
* Added kingdoms get a 3x increase in recruits in hard difficulty
* Added kingdoms get a 4x increase in recruits in hard difficulty
* Added militia costs +2, +3, +4, +5 gold in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added soldiers cost +4, +6, +8, +10 gold in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added knights cost +10, +15, +20, +25 gold in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added Slaver Fort Garrison gets +100, +150, +250, +350 soldiers in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added Thickblood bandits get +150, +250, +350, +550 troops in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added Blackmarket garrison gets +300, +600, +800, +1000 troops in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added Gorthmek fort gets +200, +400, +600, +700 troops in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty
* Added Combat Academy gets +50, +100, +150, +200 champions in Normal, Hard, Solid, And Insane Difficulty

LEADERS POST-ANNEXATION (8 features)

This was planned for the vassal update but I couldn't get it done in time, now it's in! Once annexed this tells you what becomes of the leader of the now annexed kingdom from a range of random possibilities.

* Added new system for what happens to leader of independnet kingdom once it's annexed
* Added 'isolated life' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'strange distant lands' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'humble life' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'trader' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'way of the bard' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'never seen' outcome for independent leader
* Added 'highest tower' outcome for independent leader

FORTS IMPROVED (15 features)

So I revisited forts recently and noticed that upgrading is pretty terrible and that there are some 'secret' features such as your chosen commanders battlescore directly influencing how many troops a fort can have and their recruitment rating so now those are less secret and installing a leader or upgrading a fort both have their own nice new screens.

* Added new upgrade screen when upgrading Fort Kullak
* Added new upgrade screen when upgrading Fort Gorthmek
* Added new upgrade screen when upgrading Fort Northwatch
* Added new upgrade screen when upgrading Your Fort
* Added new screen for choosing champion for fort Northwatch
* Added new screen for choosing champion for fort Gorthmek
* Added new screen for choosing champion for fort Kullak
* Added new screen for choosing champion for Your Fort

* Fixed Grammar bug in northwatch
* Fixed Grammar bug in Gorthmek
* Fixed Grammar bug in Kullak
* Fixed issue with northwatch graphics
* Fixed issue with Kullaks graphics
* Added screen for new fortress commander being instated (explaining their bonuses)

LAVA PIT REWORKED (2 features)

So this place was accidentally a total secret weapon against the demons, for the low low price of 6 peasants the demons were stopped forever! Now it's fixed, but I have made it easier to automate the process of stopping the demons recruitment patterns.

* Added ability to autosacrifice peasants at lava pit if you sacrifice 6 per turn for 2 turns
* Fixed sacrificing 6 peasants in the lava pit completely blocked the demons from ever spawning additional demons

AM I FUNNY? (1 feature)

Some of you may have discovered that having a custom celebration where people getting drunk is selected will cause many new throne room events, one such event includes a drunk wandering into your court and peeing on the floor, I had this event occur the other day and thought It would hilarious if, provided you had a jester, he stepped forward and said 'Urine trouble now!' - It made me laugh at least!

* Added Urine Trouble joke

NEW BLACKOUTS (2 features)

Two more events you can wake up to if you get Blackout drunk in a tavern or booze stall.

SUMMARY

In summary, this update offers a new expansion on the exploration encounters had while exploring the realm and makes them region specific. It expands on the difficulty effects in game making difficulty both increase difficulty at game start and add missing elements of permanent difficulty differences between settings.

It adds a small missing part from the annexation update which is the stories of what the leader of the annexed kingdom does post annexation. The four forts discoverable and ownable in game have been expanded on with new features making it much clearer when upgrading and installing a leader what that leader does for the fort, revealing fort leader mechanics that were previously not openly shown by the game.

Other than that there were lots of other smaller tweaks, bugfixes, additions, and changes to the game such as new blackout drunk events, improvements on the lava pit, and an improved snail racing circuit.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on February 10, 2020, 04:06:47 pm: Hey everyone,

So after being asked by a few people if I had any way to further support me beyond buying the game I've decided to open a patreon. I'm not going be promoting it everywhere or anything like that so after this post you won't hear about it for a while, but I'm happy to offer it as option for people who want to help support the game further in it's developments.

I won't be doing any Warsim DLC as I don't want to gate content from anyone, but it is a struggle sometimes with continuing to fund development.

In 2017 following the games launch on steam there were 20 updates, then in 2018 there were 32, and then in 2019 just last year the game got 58 updates (more than one per week!) Although this year so far we're on 5.

https://i.imgur.com/zA5L2we.png

There are currently three tiers on the Patreon (but I'm open to ideas):

* Helpful Goblin Tier - $1
* Loyal Warrior Tier - $3 (your name on Gro'lok's stump, and some names in game)
* Supportive Ogre Tier - $25 (the above +I'll mail you some notes and concept art from the development that month... Although there's only five of these)

You can find the patreon page here - https://www.patreon.com/Warsim/membership

Any support is appreciated but not expected, Thank you for all for being here regardless :)

Post by: Huw2k8 on February 11, 2020, 12:03:56 pm: Hey guys so just a little fun update, 10 features per patron since the launch last night! Thanks to the people who signed up for it my day/week/month is made :)

RACE EFFECT ADDITIONS (3 features)

As you guys are aware there are 94+ million possible races that can be generated in the game, thanks to 1000s of different prefixes and race types. The vast majority of the procedurally generated races have effects and stats and abilities that make them all vastly unique from eachother but a smaller number of them don't have any unique differences, for example Faceless races. Faceless Men sound cool but in reality in game they are just normal men... No more! Now they will get a blank face, same for unborn. I'm always happy to add new tweaks that further add diversity to the millions of races you are unlikely to ever see!

* Added 'Faceless' races will now have blank faces
* Added 'Unborn' races will now also have blank faces
* Added new racial trait '45' for blank faces (can be used for any new prefixes)

Post by: Huw2k8 on February 21, 2020, 09:35:46 am: THE VAMPIRE UPDATE (67 features)

So while working through my long planlist for Warsim as I prepare the roadmap to getting the game released, I found a small list of various plans for the Vampire city of Baiaa and it's respective features. I then searched the list for the rest of the vampire related ideas and read through all of them before deciding to clear them all in a little update.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on February 26, 2020, 08:21:37 am: Hey Everyone, so this update is part of my attempt to cut down my 500+ feature list of Warsim to-dos. The list is made up of around 100 loose feature ideas and then 20-30 large feature updates such as Rpgification (The addition of more first person elements to the game), Expansion on Adventurers, Noble Houses, Demon Improvements, The Ancient Isle, And so on.

I am aiming to completely clear this list in the run up to full release on steam and hope to get there within this year if possible. This update is made up mostly of small things cleared from that list as I move on to my next update... Diplomacy!

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on March 07, 2020, 04:06:03 am: THE DIPLOMACY UPDATE - Coming soon!

Hey everyone,

So just letting you guys know that the Diplomacy update which I've been working on since the last Warsim release 9 days ago, will probably be released sometime near the end of next week.

The work that's been done already has in my opinion massively improved the experience of diplomacy, especially in trying to make peace with other kingdoms which was built to function similar to the vassal system but more in-depth and bigger.

So far the update is sizing up to be a huge one, with 214 features in at the moment but surely many more to come before it is complete.

**THE STORY SO FAR**

The update as it currently stands includes:

* A completely reworked peace process that includes an emissary system identical to the vassalisation process, as well as dynamic reactions for 30+ independent race prefixes, such as Light races being much more inclined to make peace with you if you're a good ruler, and Death races completely rejecting peace permanently, or pacifist races guarenteed to accept. The system also includes 49 different reactions to peace that range from asking you to pay a single coin, or accepting but murdering your emissary, to someone asking you to sacrfice 1 peasant per -1 relation, or asking you to answer a riddle... for peace!
* Improvments to hiring independent kingdom units including kingdoms friendly to you offering 10-20% discount
* Improvements and screens given to setting up and closing trade route with other kingdoms
* New pop up events at the end of turn including one that stops you from reaching the highest limit of number that can be stored in the games gold counter which is 2 billion (or more specifically 2,147,483,647) so if anyone reaches 1 billion they will be met by hyperinflation... sorry comrades but there be no billionaires in the realm of Aslona.
* Tournaments have been improved with lots of new screens, as well as a guarenteed public opinion boost depending on the size of the tournament, taking a hint from ancient rome on that one.
* Also following a player suggestion I've made it so the sorry old fields of Rihhm Village in the East can now be terraformed if you have the terraformers guild which greatly improves the village's economic output
* Also 98 billion more demigod faces after a few experiments
* 38 bugfixes and misc improvements
* And perhaps my favourite of all, the Arena now has a screen showing your lost gold when paying to watch an arena fight (if you don't own the arena and the arena owner charges you to watch fights). You can also get random events such as being let in for free or accidentally being only charged half... but that's not it... You can now still try and enter and watch and arena fight even if you don't have the gold, if it's your first time Gordeth the Ticket Attendant will happily let you through... but do it more and he might have to get the manager... or you know, you could let out your inner Karen and do it yourself!

**SCREENSHOTS**

* Instant peace when requested with Pacifist Fungus Orcs - https://i.imgur.com/nTwVJQd.png
* Gordeth is a good guy really - https://i.imgur.com/HQPcc3F.png
* Release the Karen! - https://i.imgur.com/HtzRXil.png
* The new peace emissary system - https://i.imgur.com/ZATcLYD.png
* Chances look good - https://i.imgur.com/pqxY2YX.png
* Oh no... what does he want? - https://i.imgur.com/n8VNHkp.png
* Publicly... Ugh - https://i.imgur.com/T9jyy4w.png
* Ok... how are we going to word this - https://i.imgur.com/vwcmjzF.png
* There were good people on both sides - https://i.imgur.com/Gh1zrnA.png
* Well... better than nothing - https://i.imgur.com/5pZxZ7Q.png

**WHAT'S LEFT TO DO**

I still have a number of systems I still want to work on before I release this diplomacy update and call it a day. They are as follows:

* Rework of the gifting gold system to adjust the gold gift amount from 500 gold to proportionally 100th, 10th, and a quarter of the kingdom in questions income as well as dynamic reactions
* The chance for diplomatic actions from other kingdoms such as gifting you gold and offering you peace
* The ability to declare war on a neutral or friendly faction with varied reaction
* An updated system for requesting military or financial aid
* A rework of the alliance system following on from the peace and vassal systems with emissaries and tons of varied reactions
* And several other things that are probably but not definitely going in to the update depending on time

I'm already happy with what's been done and feel like it's going to breathe life into the diplomacy system and make it much more interesting.

So that's it for now, looking forward to releasing this update! :)

Post by: Micro102 on March 16, 2020, 08:19:14 pm: So I've had my eye on this for a while, and looking at how the updates are coming, is it safe to say that 95%+ of the mechanics are fleshed out, leaving only story and bugs to be added? I don't want to burn myself out playing a version that isn't going to be the final product.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on March 17, 2020, 04:53:25 am: Hey Micro,

So at this point I would go so far to say it's a fully playable game and has been for a while. It's just there are new features I am working on adding and one or two locations of the 100 or so discoverable in game.

Saves are also updatable so if you played a week ago or two years ago your save file will always be compatable with the latest version of the game!

Cheers

Huw

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on March 30, 2020, 02:43:55 pm: Hello everyone,

Just announcing that after 4 years of development and the 100+ updates on steam early access I am going to be increasing the price of Warsim on steam from $4.99 to $7.99 as of next month.

I'm always weary of pricing it to the point where it will exclude people who might genuinely want to play but I'm surviving almost entirely on a mix of Warsim and some savings at the moment and the difference in price really will make a difference for me.

I think when I first put the game on steam I didn't think much of it and wasn't sure if people would give it a chance but now after all this time and effort I know the game is worth it!

But regardless it will still be in seasonal steam sales and things so it will be possible to find it for less and it is still currently on 35% sale at it's current lower price :)

Happy to answer any questions and hear your thoughts!

Cheers

Huw

Post by: Huw2k8 on April 15, 2020, 12:31:38 pm: CHOOSE YOUR ORIGIN SYSTEM (12 features)

So for the longest time unless you played a custom game your origin was completely random. Random is fun, but sometimes you don't want to be shoehorned into being a demonic servant, or a bandit overlord right out of the gate. Now the system has been expanded and you can still choose randomness in the way of the new FATE option, but otherwise you're welcome to choose an origin that suits you and your desired playthrough a little better. I've also added a few differences in some of the options so even choosing the same origin twice might give you variation.

* Added ability to choose fate (get a random origin)
* Added new origin 'pulled sword from stone' (+5 public opinion)
* Added new origin 'Village elder last in line gets the throne after the rest died in disaster' (Arena is destroyed, -public op)
* Added rare chance that the disaster kills off old croll and gives you a random new diplomat
* Added rare chance that the disaster kills off ghoryn pikener and gives you a random new general
* Added new origin 'Slave army conquest' (-public opinion, start with slaver fort, start with slave army, mass desertion of normal army)
* Added rare chance that the slaver fort is destroyed during the conquest and you don't start with it
* Added new origin 'Winner of a tournament of strength' (+opinion, start with two strong champions)
* Added new origin 'It's a long story' (+public opinion, +new item in throne room, +some gold)
* Added rare chance the the 'long story' has an extra part where you gain a strong champion called 'Omer the Friend'
* Removed origin select screen from custom games

MERMEN MADNESS (4.3 Billion features)

Was messing around with the mermen faces and added a new eye type with a lot of variants, combined with all other possible parts of mermen faces there are now twice as many possible which has added over 4 billion new faces that can be generated... you know for all the folk who got bored of the first 4 billion of them.

* Added new eye type to Mermen/Triton faces
* Created a total of 4346939520 (4.3 Billion) new Mermen/Triton faces (8.6 billion total faces now)

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on May 10, 2020, 10:56:07 am: So this update is focused primarily on overhauling staff meetings as I was reviewing some notes I had for staff in my development plans. There's also the ability to tell jokes and get paid, and a couple of bugfixes and other misc stuff!

STAFF MEETING OVERHAUL (17 features)

Staff meetings can be held in your throne room where you can ask your current staff any of a number of questions. The system had some good information in it but there weren't many questions and they were laid out and designed poorly. The system has now had a reboot with lots of new questions split into categories, a new layout, and new systems such as the random arrival of staff, the ability to dismiss staff from meetings, and more answers that vary depending on the state of the world. This was a mountain of work as over 400 dialogues were written or revised but I'm glad to be able to finally present it!

* Added new council arrival for meeting system with sound effect and random entry text

* Added 'Are there any points of interest in this realm?' question (30 replies)

ARE YOU JOKING? (4 features)

Now once you've taken the jester's society class you will gain the ability to tell jokes for laughter and tips. You'll be better off in the higher class taverns but you can do what you want!

I've not managed to log a ton of hours into programming recently but I'm trying my best. I hope everyone is doing as good as they can during this pandemic, without further ado... the update.

TROOP HIRE AND TRAINING CHANGES (8 features)

Videovillain suggested that when you have a Barracks or Grand Barracks you should be able to do the troop training the upgrade offers outside of the location itself and in the main troop menu, this makes perfect sense and should have been done way earlier so It's now in the game.

WHAT'S NEXT

Hey everyone, I'm doing a bit of spring cleaning of my Warsim to-do list recently clearing loose ideas collected over the years. My next update will be looking into Bandit gangs and the potential of new groups rising where others fall.

I hope everyone is doing good and staying as safe as they can!
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on May 30, 2020, 09:23:10 am: Hey everyone,

Thanks for your patience on this one, I'm proud to announce the 'Bandits of the Realm' update. This update completely reworks how minor bandits work and adds a sort of background population of bandits. It's now possible that a realm can become infested with bandits, where all bandit factions gain huge recruitment bonuses, and any defeated minor bandit gangs are quickly replaced with new ones. Of course the bandit level can be reduced by defeating these gangs and putting down any bandit influence in the realm as well as enacting policy.

My recent post about this update with a fully documented infested bandit playthrough can be seen here - https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/659540/view/2209525206376708977

* Added new bandits of the realm screen with 11 dynamic graphics and tiers

* Added ability to ask how you can reduce the bandit level
* Added ability to ask how you can increase the bandit level
* Added ability for new bandit groups to arise at the end of a turn if there are free slots (depending on how high the bandit level is)
* Added the ability to disable notifications of new bandit groups popping up
* Added ability to view the current effects of the bandit level
* Added 'secret' code 69 which if entered on bandits of the realm screen sets the bandit level to something random
* Removed diplomacy skill requirement to see minor bandit groups
* Renamed minor bandit groups section of diplomacy to bandit groups
* if game start with no minor bandit groups then bandit groups section is renamed to bandits of the realm and takes you directly to bandits of the realm assessment screen
* Added all minor bandit gangs get a custom and unique graphic for what their troops look like (121.5 million total)
* All newly spawned bandit groups get completely random relations with all factions in the game
* Added ability to choose a custom bandit level when playing a custom game (in the bandit scenario settings)
* Added new cheat code 450 (allows bandit level to be set to anything you wish)
* Reworked view minor bandit stats to show proper unit breakdown now
* Added if loading a save from pre-bandit update, bandit level will be randomised upon load

NEW BANDIT GANG FORMATION ORIGINS (21 features)

ROOTING OUT THE LAST REMNANTS OF BANDITRY (5 features)

Have you reduced banditry to the brink? struggling to find those final pesky bandit groups?

BANDIT LEVEL MODIFIERS (23 features)

As you and other groups exist and interact with bandits in your world the bandit level will rise and fall, if big bandit groups die off then overall banditry goes down, but a prison break? some pro-bandit laws? maybe you free 3000 of your bandit units and let them loose, then you'll see the bandit level skyrocket, helpful if you've got some rivals who are always picking fights with bandits.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: EuchreJack on May 31, 2020, 09:16:45 am: Dunno if bug or powerful feature, but if you sent a mercenary of any size versus a bandit group (dunno about other groups), then even when they lose, all the bandits disappear (zero troops). Works somewhat with the Rebels too.

As to awesome randomly generated fun, I looked over those independent nations that were at war with us. Two were lead by hostile leaders, so not likely to be peace anytime soon. But one was a race of half-demons lead by an idiot. I sent an emissary to establish peace, and their stupid ruler asked me if it was a good idea. I said "do it", and then we were at peace. I pushed it a bit more and asked for an alliance. He agreed. They're only twice as strong as humans...
I did have to free all my slave soldiers, but most of them stayed on as regular soldiers, so that was a basically a win-win.

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 31, 2020, 01:59:00 pm: Hey Euchre,

Cheers for sharing the bug report. I'd noticed something like this but just assumed I'd not been paying attention, just tested now and can confirm that the merc attacks seem to wipe bandits clear.

Will be looking into this asap so thanks for reporting it. When it's fixed I'll credit your username next to it!

Also that's awesome about the alliance with the half-demons, gotta love stupid rulers!
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: EuchreJack on May 31, 2020, 05:39:15 pm: Thanks!

My biggest fear is that my stupid ruler ally will die and someone competent will take over.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on June 01, 2020, 04:58:53 am: Hey,

Just a followup, I spent all of last night testing this and man it goes way deeper than just minor bandits and mercenaries.

It seems a section of code for each group post battle was written slightly wrong and though it looked like it was returning troops post battle it doesn't seem like it has been.

I found issues with Rebels, Krut, Erak, Bandit Horde, and Minor Bandits.

With and without it being a merc attack, in Skrimish, invade, and raid!

I think it's fixed now so In the next release the entire section about this big flaw will be dedicated to you for reporting it.

This major issue has been in the game for 4 years and none of the 20k steam users have reported it, nor have I seen it in all my tests and playthoughs haha

Thanks EuchreJack

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on June 03, 2020, 08:42:12 am: Hey everyone,

This update is me catching up on player reports and the result of some playtesting. We've got better village champion battles, slight tweaks to tournaments, tweaks to the stones of the realm, more loot, better fort demotion, a new system for kingdom names, improvements on a special event, a fix for some combat issues, and tons of other bugfixes and improvements.

VILLAGE CHAMPIONS IMPROVED (14 features)

The challenging village champions system was an afterthought, you send a champion to fight and kill the village champions if they win cool, if they lose you lose a champion... Boring. Now when you win you'll be shown the rival champion being burried and then will be awared a random item of loot from the village. While adding this in I also reworked and fixed several things in these villages champion challenge system and beyond.

* Added defeating village champion gives you a random item reward from the village

TOURNEY TWEAKS (5 features)

* Fixed grammar issues in many tournament screens
* Added indicator at end of 8 man tournament of +1 strength reward for winner
* Added indicator at end of 16 man tournament of +2 strength reward for winner
* Added indicator at end of 32 man tournament of +3 strength reward for winner
* Added indicator at end of grand tournament of +3 strength reward for winner

THE STONES OF THE REALM (15 features)

There are many (mainly northern) stones that can be touched and rubbed for various effects, in a playtest I realised some parts of these were lacking, now they've all been reworked!

* Added new sound effect for rubbing a stone

MOAR LOOT (20 features)

CHAMPIONS RETURNED (4 features)

When you demoted champions from their positions running your fortresses for you they were gone forever, now if there is room for them they return as a champion and if not you are asked if you are sure you want to demote them as they'll be removed forever!

KINGDOM NAMES (2 features)

When asking for a random kingdom name I felt most of the random ones weren't satisfactory, now there's a huge mix of cool names for your kingdom if you don't fancy Aslona!

* Added new system when asking for a random kingdom name at game start with 2/3 chance to pool from new list of kingdom names
* Added 512 new kingdom names

INCREASED CIVILITY EVENT (4 features)

It's rare but theres always been 1 in 100 chance that a group with less than 3 civilisation level could gain 1 civ level in a special event, this event previously was a line of text in the end of turn report screen but now it has it's own pop up event so if it happens you don't miss it!

* Added new screen for when independent kingdom increases it's civility in random end of turn event
* Added special notification showing if they have increased to diplomatic and trade level
* Added special notification showing their strength bonus
* Made new sound effect for independent kingdom gaining civility (modelled a little after the monolith scene from 2001: a space odyssey)

MAJOR COMBAT FLAW (5 features)

Bay12 forum member EuchreJack pointed out that attacking minor bandits with mercenaries, even if the mercs lost any of the surviving minor bandits from the battle wouldn't return home. I checked this and found that it went way deeper and effected all factions and sometimes even non-merc attacks. The code involved would have been the same for years so this bug has existed for almost all of Warsims development and gone unnoticed. I always remember seeing situations where factions lost a bunch of troops post battle but I just assumed I'd not been paying attention and they'd been attacked by someone else in the meantime. Thanks EuchreJack for reporting it!

* Fixed minor bandit troop issue (credit EuchreJack)
* Fixed krut and erak troop issue (credit EuchreJack)

Post by: Huw2k8 on June 26, 2020, 09:14:31 am: Hey everyone,

So the summer sale is here again finally!

I know many of you guys have Warsim, but if you don't have it yet or someone you think might like it doesn't have it yet now is definitely as good a time as ever.

Check out the Steam page here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_Aslona/?beta=0

To all the people who've purchased the game so far, thank you so much for the immense support in these 3 years the games been on steam. We're immenently going to hit 20k total copies sold by the end of today which honestly when I think about it, as a Console window text based game in 2020 is pretty wild so thank you all for that.

I've got an update brewing which has no one specific theme but covers a lot of different areas. I'm aiming for 200 total features to commemorate hitting 20k copies sold. So far I've got 159 features done so the update will likely be out this week.

Thanks again and to any people who've newly discovered the game, Welcome!

CAN I AFFORD THE BOOZE? (22 features)

I noticed that while in taverns where you can buy ale, you can't see how much gold you've got. This is because once upon a time taverns were just locations to see but drinking in them and spending gold wasn't do-able. After the 'let the people drink' update we've been able to buy ale but still you can't see how much gold you've got. Now every tavern in the realm has something that checks how much gold you've got first. I also fixed a handful of little tavern bugs noticed while updating them all.

KNIGHT TO CHAMPION (5 features)

The knight to champion screens were a little lacking, it wasn't clear what happened to the knights sometimes so now you will be shown you've lost a knight, and if it's a brawl you'll not lose the knight even if he loses the fight... he'll just lose a bit of pride.

* Added screen for knight winning fight to become champion (credit u/Jean287)

UPGRADING THE BLACKMARKET (8 features)

Previously upgrading the Blackmarket gave you no screen or notification, once done things automatically improved but the player would be clueless as to what had improved...

The Black Bank has been improved and brought up to speed with the Royal Bank, and several other things have been improved and fixed.

A while ago the royal bank got a facelift, but these upgrades never reached the Black Bank, now the Black Bank is improved in the same ways as the royal bank, but it also has had an improvement on it's loan system, previously Black Bank loans had to be repaid within the same year or you'd be killed, now they allow you up to 5 years.

It's been a busy time with the steam sale, but I also just figured out how to get Morrowind on Andoid and lets just say, I forgot how great and immersive of a game Morrowind is.

Cheers

Post by: Huw2k8 on July 14, 2020, 11:25:24 am: Hey everyone,

So this update didn't have any particular direction, the main aim was to clear through bug reports and recent suggestions and to continue testing the exploration locations of the game world and make sure everything is working as intended.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on July 22, 2020, 06:16:08 pm: Warsim 0.8.1.3 (Defender Update, 118 features)

Hey everyone,

So this update is a special one and is almost entirely thanks to members of the Warsim community, chiefly Defender from Audiogames.net a community for blind or visually impaired gamers and one of Warsim's main longtime community strongholds. Defender had like many times in the past few years spent some time collecting a large list of bugs, errors, and suggestions from his playthroughs. The list was impressive and contained over 100 things and I've tried to clear through it all as best I can. Thanks Defender, and everyone who has helped make this game better!

SELF FIGHTING GOBLINS! (4 features)

After reading a bug report from Misery on steam mentioning some units hitting themselves instead of their opponents I found it hilarious, it's now a feature. Now the goblins of Uktak have a strange passtime! Self-fighting, who can beat themselves up for the longest?

* Removed 9 duplicate human names

I SEE ASCII! (5 features)

Thanks for bringing these to my attention Defender! Warsim's Ascii-less text only version for visually impaired players is mostly fine but Defender's identified a few bits of ascii that appear to have snuck through the filter and thus will be read aloud by screenreading software and annoy the hell out of the people playing. All fixed now!

* Fixed ascii art for Goblinwood berserkers not filtered by ascii blocker (credit Defender)
* Fixed ascii art for viewing wilderman saaroth camp not filtered by ascii blocker (credit Defender)
* Added Gro'lok's stump names visible when ascii is disabled (credit Defender)

* Reworked text for discovering the Baiaa (credit Defender)
* Added new screen with sfx for knight placing flag in newly discovered Baiaa door (credit Defender)
* Fixed text bug in attacking Baiaa text (credit Defender)

* Added new text if vassal only sends a single unit
* Added new text if vassal cannot send any troops instead of just showing normal text with you are sent 0 troops (credit Defender)

MORE SOUND EFFECTS (5 features)

Can never have too many sound effects in game, now more areas that were devoid of sound have it!

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
* Updated Golem face generator to use the new system

And some new proc gen golem races - https://i.imgur.com/P1BpHKf.png

After the above race face tracking, I planned to improve the generators for the remaining 4 races below a billion. Now there are no face generators in Warsim that produce less than 1 billion faces!

* Added 1.6 billion new blogroki faces (was 74 million now 1.67 billion)

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

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on August 11, 2020, 11:08:34 am: Hey everyone, so this update is a mix of two things. Primarily the reworking of the games tutorial to make it a bit more informative and better laid out instead of just walls of text.

TUTORIAL OVERHAUL (6 features)

The previous tutorial was just lots of large walls of text on various topics, I've tried to make this one a bit easier to follow as it goes through the different menu options in the main game screen so new players can have a better idea of what to expect and what to do, this may need further tweaking but I think at the very least it's a step in the right direction.

GOBLINWOOD IN REVIEW (41 features)

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. I also found that purchasing some things in Goblinwood had a small feature where a percentage of your purchase gets added to the Goblinwood treasury as tax.

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
* Improved grunt sound effect by removing extra noise and reducing filesize

WHAT'S NEXT

Now that the tutorial stuff is out of the way I'm going to continue sweeping through my bug reports and suggestions list to shrink it down a bit more and will be having a little bit of a break as I have a few things I need to sort out. I imagine another update will come soon enough though!

Cheers

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on August 28, 2020, 10:34:10 am: 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 23 - Normal mode resources but increased background difficulty off (credit u/Ubercharge1)
* Added new debug mode 24 - Hard mode resources but increased background difficulty off (credit u/Ubercharge1)
* Added new debug mode 25 - Solid mode resources but increased background difficulty off (credit u/Ubercharge1)
* 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!

* Added youth relation figure tracking your background relation to the youth in throne room encounters
* Added having 75+ youth relation grants 4% bonus in throne room visitors

* Added paying Blackmarket pickpocket gang a coin each to disband gives +5 youth relation
* Added paying Blackmarket pickpocket gang 10 coins each to disband gives +10 youth relation

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)

DRUNKEN CAT PETTING CONSEQUENCE (9 features)

In Darkdale there's a cat tavern, you can get drunk and pet cats. But logically the drunker you get the more likely you would be to irritate those cats. Well now it's a feature!

* Added being a bit drunk or more and trying to pet cats in the Darkdale Cat tavern has 1/3 chance of negative outcome (credit Defender)

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: lukerules117 on September 01, 2020, 10:42:02 pm: Decided to grab the game while it was on sale, so far I'm only about twenty years in and I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of things, my biggest question now is what do the climbing pick upgrades do? Is it just a general success increase for questing knights or is it for specific quests only?
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on September 02, 2020, 03:55:52 am: Hey cheers for picking it up, I hope you're enjoying it so far.

As for the climbing picks there are a few locations in game when exploring where Knights can be sent to climb (up or down) to discover deeper and more hidden locations.

By default this is very hard and often results in failure, in the climbing down location this failure results in dead knights.

With each climbing pick upgrade the odds get better and better until basically it's risk free.

Hope this helps mate and I hope you enjoy the game going forward :)
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: lukerules117 on September 02, 2020, 12:40:28 pm: Makes sense, I hadn't noticed anything like that while glancing over the end of turn summary and it seemed oddly specific so I thought it might have been metaphorical picks for "climbing" up in the world, or that climbing had some odd meaning I've never heard before. It sounds dumb as I'm writing it out but I just never noticed anything about climbing from any of the successful knights.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on September 02, 2020, 01:08:34 pm: That's an amazing interpretation actually, yeah it's a weird one to be honest. If you think I could potentially explain it better in game I'm always open to ideas though :)
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on September 04, 2020, 11:10:51 am: Warsim 0.8.1.9 (A bundle of all sorts, 72 features)

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)

When you ran a grand tournament in the arena all of your personal champions are automatically entered and at most one will survive, you may not want this so now you will be allowed to choose if you enter them or not.

* Fixed grand champion recognition not working in grand tournaments
* Added ability for you to choose if you will enter your champions into grand tournaments instead of automatically entering them
* Added ability to enter all champions into grand tournament instead of choosing for all individually

* Fixed text bug with grand tournament intro
* Fixed spacing line bug with grand tournament intro

NEW KINGDOM TYPE (1 feature)

I was watching a documentary on Alexander the great and saw mention of the somewhat independent rulers within the persian empire, now these little kingdom types are added to our ever growing list of possible titles, see the rest here https://github.com/Huw2k8/warsim/wiki/Kingdom-Types-and-Leadership-Titles

* 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.

* Added new finite level of Bluetrii available from unowned fruit farm (credit Caccio72)
* Added random new fruit grown in farm per year between 0-15 barrels (credit Caccio72)

* Added new screen for destroying snowfolk village
* Added new loot chest for destroying snowfolk village
* Fixed destroying snowfolk village skipped to visiting ruins screen

POLISHING THE DRYLANDS (6 features)

I went through and combed the Drylands region fo the south for any issues or possible improvements, not too much to be done here but I did find a few things.

* Added new sound effect for discovering coastal wall
* Fixed text bug with no nomad mercs available option in nomad camp
* Fixed issues with discovering demon gate text split
* Fixed demon gate title line text bug
* Fixed 3 text bugs for already discovered coastal wall
* Fixed 5 text bugs in coastal wall text

THE LONG SERPENT IMPROVED (12 features)

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.

Post by: Huw2k8 on September 11, 2020, 12:13:37 pm: Hey everyone,

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 'Strength - +5 Battlescore to milita units'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Strength+ - +10 Battlescore to militia units'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Strength++ - +20 Battlescore to militia units'
* Added Militia Leader trait 'Cheap - 5 gold per unit, 10% less recruits'
* 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'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader retired'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader died of natural causes'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader stepped down amid scandal'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader lost leadership armwrestle battle'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader stepped down out of boredom'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader died and passed rule to his son'
* Added random end of turn event 'Militia leader fallen from a high place'
* Added new dynamic screen for new leader and their perk/trait effect explained
* Added new screen for not having the gold to buy militia peasants
* 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'

* Added goblin gift encounters have 1/15 of being a fake item trick
* Added goblin gift encounters have 1/10 chance of being uncapped any item
* Added goblin gift encounters have 9/10 chance of being item of 10 gold or less in value

GOBLIN THANKFUL REACTIONS (11 features)

Previously goblins had no reaction to being thanked, I've now added this new section with 10 random reactions.

* Added new throne room room reaction section for thanking goblins
* Added goblin grins and hops away reaction
* Added goblin smiles and bows reaction

CRAPPY GOBLIN LOOT (21 features)

* Added 'Jar of interesting looking leaves' random loot item (worth 3 gold)
* Added 'Doll made of leaves and a mysterious smelly glue' random loot item (worth 3 gold)

Post by: Huw2k8 on September 18, 2020, 05:19:41 am: 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)
* Added new intro to Bgax when visiting Goblinwood for the first time if you've wiped savages out in Wildwood (credit Defender)
* Added new alt answer when asking Dulief of the Hunters Rest about local savages if you've wiped savages out in Wildwood (credit Defender)
* Added new alt answer when asking Geks advisor of Goblinwood about local savages if you've wiped them out (credit Defender)
* Added new alt answer when asking Geks advisor of Goblinwood about Hunters rest if you've wiped savages out (credit Defender)
* Added new intro to Dulief of Hunters rest if you wipe out savages (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
* Added new special event screen for random earthquake with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random volcanic eruption with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random act of god with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random lightning with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random meteor with sfx
* Added new special event screen for random tornado with sfx
* Added new screen instead of single line of text for terraforming barren land
* Added 5 random possible terraform graphics for terraform screen
* Made it so that natural disaster events will cannot wipe your last land out

Magical Cloud - https://i.imgur.com/OPrkKi6.png

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 peasants referred to as slaves in round up and burn diplomacy event
* Fixed slaves referred to as peasants in round up and burn diplomacy event
* Fixed Baiaa 25 slave yearly tribute to lock the gates still happens if Baiaa is destroyed (credit licker98)
* Fixed Baiaa 25 slave yearly tribute to lock the gates still happens if you are hostile with Baiaa
* Fixed Hyruk the Moneygrubber not paying your reward for the titan skull quest (credit Storm)
* Fixed incorrect text shown when selling bluetrii fruit (credit u/OTRainbowDash5000)
* Fixed text bug with one of the hunters rest intro screens
* Fixed ability to declare demonic kingdom even when the horde is weak (credit u/OTRainbowDash5000)
* Fixed 7 text bugs with various hunters rest options
* 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

I will try again when the game is out of early access as perhaps that is the reason but there is a small poll here on gog to get Warsim added and it has 50 votes so far.

SATYR HORNS (2 features... or 72.2 billion)

Aethyrsix sent me a new concept for his old Satyr design that was put into the game, we reworked it a bit to use ascii that would work in the game and in the process I added enough new parts that 72 billion additional Satyr faces can now be made!

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.

WHAT'S NEXT

Hope everyone's doing alright! :)

Cheers

Post by: EuchreJack on October 02, 2020, 12:31:09 pm: Drunk encounter idea: What does the Ruler do when the drunk lunges towards them (as drunks are wont to do)? Kill/Imprison/Reward? Or is that already in the game?

The drunk is probably just trying to hug the Ruler. Drunks like hugs. Maybe hit the Ruler. Drunks like hitting things, but Professional Drinkers can tell the difference.

Hey everyone,

So after last updates new massive expansion of the gnome insult battles, I was sad that they appear only as an option in upgraded throne room entertainment acts. The only solution... a gnome village. But where could such a village go?

Post by: Huw2k8 on October 09, 2020, 05:21:21 am: **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)

- One of the new menu concepts that can appear - https://i.imgur.com/Uhl5zCN.png

BUGFIXES (X 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 (X 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

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on October 10, 2020, 05:52:59 am: 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

Post by: Huw2k8 on November 24, 2020, 12:25:26 pm: 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 staff quitting without being paid now has a pop up screen (credit 'Napalm Sticks To Kids')
* 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

* Scrapped old end of turn code allowing independent kingdoms to recruit troops from your guilds

* 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.

* Added new turn report section for plague report if ancient plague is active
* Added new screen for world ending due to plague leaving no one alive
* Added new screen for ancient plague ending due to 1 million deaths

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

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on December 12, 2020, 09:06:07 am: 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 Old Storyteller's Hut text bug in Rihhm
* 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
* Added -5 relation with Smallhaven from demanding tribute
* Added +5 relation with Smallhaven for ending tribute
* 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

NEW CONTENT (3 features)

Always good to keep the game fresh with plenty of new content. The name Halbazaar was inspired by this song's catchy chorus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2oC99e_xPY&ab_channel=MiksonvlogsTV

* Added 5 new human names 'Halbazaar, Balgazaar, Bulgazaar, Kralbazaar, Spactazaar'

* Added new joke 'Cold night broomstick'
* Added new joke 'Magic Bee'
* Added new joke 'Close eyed wizard'
* Added new joke 'Big Hat wizard'

DIALOGUE IMPROVEMENTS (4 features)

Still working through adding things to the wiki and while documenting all the dialogues in the game I see many that aren't perfect or have errors in them, also opportunities for extra dialogues and expansions.

* Added new question 'What's with the Vomit Hole?' for Gboo of the Human's Toe Tavern
* Reworked 4 dialogues for Gboo of the Human's Toe Tavern
* Fixed text bug in Gboo of the Human's Toe Tavern fight break up text
* Fixed 2 text bugs in Gboo of the Human's Toe Tavern dialogue options menu

BUGFIXES (15 features)

* Fixed Smallhaven sound continuing after leaving the village (credit u/TheGamingDictator)

EVERYTHING ELSE (2 features)

There was an issue TGD weirdoo pointed out which made your end of turn report appear to misreport your income as it merged bank interest with your earned sum, now it's displayed separately in the end of turn report to make it much clearer.

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

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on December 22, 2020, 05:23:52 pm: 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/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_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

Post by: ThtblovesDF on January 12, 2021, 05:31:01 am: Thanks mate, your game really brought me great joy, especially while stuck with slow internet & slow hardware at some point, it was a great help. I love the exploration aspects especially and my favourit was properly the "very meta"-room.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on January 13, 2021, 06:37:53 am: Cheers mate that's so lovely to hear!

And damn, if it's the room I'm thinking of it isn't the easiest to get to. Glad you like the exploration, I think my favourite place is probably Darkdale with the Blackmarket close second, but the gnome village and goblinwood also have a place in my heart haha.

Post by: Secretdorf on January 16, 2021, 01:08:31 am: Well, this is a great game, I have to say. I love the races and the locations are great too, though I haven't explored much. I already love playing DF and LCS and this game is veryyy good. The streamlined but troop heavy combat was also great. I'd say it was definitely worth the money. :)

NEW NAME SUFFIXES (27 features)

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!

* Added new human names 'Calas, Calasan, Calasar, Calsaro, Calsanar, Calasaar, Calantir, Calantias' (credit Calasnetski)
* Added new gnome names 'Gromble-Grimble and Grimble-Gromble' (credit Cat)

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!

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!

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on March 08, 2021, 11:26:48 am: 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

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.

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

Post by: Huw2k8 on March 11, 2021, 10:06:02 am: 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)

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

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on April 03, 2021, 11:48:28 am: 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)

* 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

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

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

Is having to press <Enter> after a menu choice a design choice, to make the game easily accessible to the visually impaired (so that a screen reader can read them their choice before acting it)?

Post by: Huw2k8 on April 14, 2021, 04:34:55 am: It's just the way I capture input, it's a happy coincidence that it works well with the blind.

There are options 1-9 that would work without such a thing, but also 10+ which wouldn't work for example.

Post by: Huw2k8 on April 25, 2021, 10:54:10 am: 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

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

Post by: Huw2k8 on June 15, 2021, 05:27:56 am: 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.

* Rewrote main text for custom game mode options
* Added new category system for custom game mode options

* Added ability to have bandit horde small (half usual troops and size)
* Added 30 to the max bandits that can spawn per territory for minor bandit gangs at game start
* Added 8 to the max warlords that can spawn per territory for minor bandit gangs at game start

BANDIT HORDE FRIENDSHIP (11 features)

When you have a truce and a good relationship with the Bandit Horde, why not see some benefits of it. Now the bandits may occasionally send you gifts, but much more so if you have a higher relation. Gifts could include, a cut of gold from a raid, some goblin slaves, a new bandit hero as your champion, and more!

* Added chance of Bandit Horde sending you a gift if you have a truce with them

FRIEND OF THE MERRY MEN (6 features)

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. TJ suggested having them be recruitable if you had 100 public opinion. Now you'll have the option and if they do join you, there's a chance the leader will offer to join you as a champion.

* Added ability to attempt to recruit minor bandit gang if they are Merry Men or Honest Men and you have 100 public opinion (credit TJ)

* Fixed 2 text bugs with Blackmarket event with adventurer's groups
* Fixed adventurer group bug that can cause negative soldiers as event kills soldiers instead of knights even if player has no soldiers

BRAWL PIT UPGRADE COST CHANGES (2 features)

After a discussion with Themastaman it was made clear that 40k of upgrades and sometimes less than 500 gold per turn in profit isn't a good mix at all. I've reduced the prices by a fair bit to make it a bit more balance.

* Reduced cost of Brawl Pit size upgrade from 10k to 5k (credit Themastaman)
* Reduced cost of Brawl Pit Aesthetic upgrade from 10k to 2.5k (credit Themastaman)

* Removed jarring sound from the monster fighting pit (credit Themastaman)

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 :)

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on July 06, 2021, 12:28:36 pm: 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! :)

THE ARENA REMASTERED (53 features)

* Added system to make it 5x more likely for much weaker units to win fights they ordinarily would not (Example Soldier vs Peasant previously would be 99 wins for soldier, 1 for peasant, it's now 95 for soldier, 5 for peasant via my tests)
* Added new system for Pacifist units in the Arena (they will no longer fight)
* Added 8 moves for pacifist fighters
* Added 10 new sound effects for light stabs/slashes

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

THE EXECUTION OF A CHAMPION (27 features)

A nice suggestion from Anarcho-Raoism on our discord for executing champions got me thinking, so I present to you a new system with lots of outcomes and randomisation!

* Added the option to execute a grand champion (Credit Anarcho-raoism)
* Added 15 different reactions from arena owner (if not owned by you) depending on their personality
* Added begging for exile outcome (includes option to exile instead of execute)
* Added take my gold outcome (includes of option to accept gold and exile instead of execute)
* Added crying champion outcome
* Added stone cold expression outcome
* Added laughing at death outcome
* Added suicide outcome
* Added Last stand outcome
* Added chance of random 0-2 public opinion loss when executing champion
* Added +3 public opinion loss if champion has 30+ wins
* Added +2 public opinion loss if champion has 15+ wins
* Added +1 public opinion loss if champion has 5+ wins
* Added lesser public opinion loss for exile
* Added new blurb for hall of fame beheaded champions
* Added new blurb for hall of fame exiled champions
* Added new blurb for hall of fame suicide champions
* Added new blurb for hall of fame last stand champions
* Added 1/30 odds of Arena being destroyed in peasant riot in aftermath of execution
* Added 1/30 odds of small riot happening
* Added 1/30 odds of small protest happening
* Added odds of protest/riot/destruction much higher if public opinion is very low
* Added odds of protest/riot/destruction 25% less likely if public opinion is above 50
* Added odds of protest/riot/destruction are more likely if champion has lots of wins
* Added 5 different comments from Arena owner if unowned arena is destroyed
* Added option to choose who replaces champion if you own the arena
* Added champion challenge notification for when the champion is dead and you don't own the 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 5 fights per year limit to smallest Arena type 'Fight Pit'
* Added 10 fights per year limit to second smallest Arena type 'Little Arena'

15 Fights to go - https://i.imgur.com/CIYvaxJ.png

No fights left - https://i.imgur.com/zmREysy.png

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

Active hall of fame - https://i.imgur.com/gagfhOj.png

COLOURFUL SCORPIONS (10 features)

After a suggestion by our discord member 14Patrik, scorpions now have varying colours, Good idea mate!

* Added new colour system for scorpion pit scorpions (credit 14Patrik)
* Added white colour for Albino scorpions
* Added Grey colour for ancient scorpions
* Added purple colour for enchanted scorpions
* Added green colour for questionable (goblin) scorpions
* Added dark grey colour for black scorpions
* Added red colour for red scorpions
* Added grey colour for old scorpions
* Added white colour for white scorpions
* Added green colour for healthy scorpions

Two shots of colourful scorpions in action - https://i.imgur.com/smCu5yL.png https://i.imgur.com/uxCWTSy.png

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

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm getting back into the combat stuff again as this update was meant to be a short break to get back into coding after my computer broke down for a week.

COMBAT WEATHER TYPES (25 features)

The combat update includes a new weather system which gives each battle one of many possible weathers.

They can also allow for bonuses or penalties to be applied to certain independent races, for example Lightning Trolls would be much stronger during a storm, but Day Elves would be weaker fighting under a crescent moon. These weather buffs also affect your own troops if they belong to any of those races.

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on August 17, 2021, 08:05:37 am: Warsim 0.8.4.2 (Combat Additions and More, 52 features)

Hey everyone, so following up from the recent combat update I've been fixing and expanding some of the pre-existing features while working on the next part of the update. Still in a lot of work to go but I'm glad that the new progress can be easily shared thanks to the combat updates Alpha release!

NO ARMY REACTION (8 features)

Sometimes an enemy force that has been well and truly battered, will have 0 defenders by the time you launch an invasion or a raid. Now the game with recognise this and skip the majority of the battle screens to immediately show you a new alternate set of victory screens. The same is true if you are attacked and have no troops to defend.

* Added new system to skip battle majority of combat if no defenders
* Added new screen for player invading empty enemy land
* Added new screen for enemy invading empty player land
* Added new screen for player raiding empty enemy land
* Added new screen for enemy raiding empty player land
* Added new screen for player skirmishing empty enemy land
* Added new screen for enemy skirmishing empty player land

No defenders - https://i.imgur.com/UinGwqz.png

BATTLE REINFORCEMENTS (4 features)

In the old combat system your forts and friends could provide reinforcements to you when being attacked or attacking, but it was not present in the new combat system. Well now it is!

* Added reinforcement system for attacking
* Added new pop up for attacking reinforcement showing how many soldiers are gained
* Added reinforcement system for defending
* Added new pop ups showing troops gained by defending reinforcements

STONE SKIPPING (2 features)

There's already one location you can skip stones in thanks to a player suggestion, but in a recent playthrough I made it to swamps end and wished I could do the same. Well now you can!

* Reworked the graphic for swamps end in the west
* Added the ability to skip a stone in swamps end

Skip those stones - https://i.imgur.com/JW9ZmxP.png

FRUIT FARM IMPROVED (5 features)

Came across the fruit farm in a recent playthrough and saw that it wasn't quite up to scratch with the rest of the game, now it is!

* Reworked gold indicators in magical fruit farm
* Added new screen with sfx for planting fruit in magic fruit farm
* Added new screen for not having the room to plant fruit
* Added new screen for not having the gold to pay to plant fruit
* Fixed 5 text bugs with fruit farm texts

BATTLE REPORTS FOR WATCHED FIGHTS (4 features)

In the combat update you have the option to watch enemy battles if your spymaster is skilled enough, however I noticed that without the end of battle reports like the player gets at the end of their own battles, the enemy battles just abruptly end and the game moves on. I've added little reports that should help explain and breakdown how the battle went before you choose to move on so it's not so jarring and abrupt!

* Added new battle report for enemy fights you've watched
* Added battle report for draw battle
* Added battle report for defender victory
* Added battle report for attacker victory

The Report - https://i.imgur.com/ddoytN6.png

BRING BACK MY DEATHEATERS! (3 features)

A rare racial trait in Warsim is Deatheater or Souleater, these races gain +1 battlescore per unit for every 25 kills they get. After some testing I realised this system wasn't in the new combat so I've now added it in and created some new pop up screens you get to show off the battlescore gain as it happens.

* Added deatheater battlescore growth system to the new combat
* Added notification screen when troops gain battlescore from deatheating (with sfx)
* Added notification for it both attacker and defender are deatheaters and both gain battlescore

A screen from both fighters being deatheaters - https://i.imgur.com/ELcmYIo.png

SEE YOUR DEFENDERS (1 feature)

When you're attacked in Warsim, the game divides your total troops by your total lands. There's nothing in the game that explains this to you so it can seem quite arbitrary. I've added a new screen that pops up when you're attacked that shows you how many defenders you'll have and explains exactly why you have them.

* Added defender breakdown screen when player is attacked

Defender Breakdown - https://i.imgur.com/LPekaso.png

NEW BLUETRII PRE-BATTLE OPTION (1 feature)

It occured to me that before every battle I was using bluetrii, and using the max I could order to be eated each time. I realized I could just add an option on the first screen where you choose if you want to use bluetrii at all, to say 'Use max' and have the game use the most you could use to streamline this. It's a simple little change but it saves a bit of time, and time is money!

* Added new option to choose to eat max bluetrii before battle

The new option - https://i.imgur.com/g4qlJGJ.png

EGGHEAD BUILDING (3 features)

In the last update a new feature was added to post battle screens, Eggheads. Now they've been fleshed out into the world a bit more, to be more than just a random thing in the reports.

* Added new building in Artifact Market 'Egghead Building'
* Added alt screen for Egghead Building if player has killed battle report Egghead
* Added 6 dialogues with Head Egghead

It's the head Egghead - https://i.imgur.com/IpZ2weP.png

GOBLIN PEBBLE BARRAGE (6 features)

While working on this update I figured it's never a bad time to add new random events that can happen during battle. So here's a new one that only happens if you allow goblin slavery, with 5 alternate versions for certain weather!

Post by: Huw2k8 on September 17, 2021, 04:15:31 am: I've been working on some background stuff for Warsim and also went on a roadtrip so I've not spent much time working on stuff I can release, but I have accumulated this little bundle of new features and fixes so I figured I'd release them now before I start working on another chunk of combat update stuff!

WHAT'S NEXT

Cheers

Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: AlStar on October 06, 2021, 10:41:48 pm: Hey, I'm pretty sure you're already working on it (I came across some recent Steam posts that were complaining about the same thing), but I just wanted to say - dude, you've got to turn down the pillaging!

I was lucky enough to find and capture the Blackmarket on the very first turn; so you'd think I'd have a strong economic base to work from... but nope! I have yet to collect even a single piece of gold from trade or taxes in about half a dozen turns. Even after taking out a loan to build a palisade (the recommendation I saw to try to combat the problem), I still lost 100% of my gold on the several turns I played after before throwing up my hands and giving up.

It's incredibly demoralizing to lose your troops and advisors due to being unable to pay them; and even worse to be unable to hire new troops and/or build upgrades due to having absolutely no gold on hand.

At the very least, I'd suggest capping the maximum damage that bandits can do to your tax collection at somewhere between 75-90%
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on October 11, 2021, 05:13:06 am: Hey mate, I appreciate you making your voice heard on the issue!

It's something I plan to tackle this week but I fully agree with you and I'm sorry for any inconvenience
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: EuchreJack on October 11, 2021, 08:56:32 am: Eh, if my kingdom is overrun by the bandits, it makes sense that I can't collect any taxes. Gotta clear those bandits out a bit if you want to collect gold, or join up with the bandits. Still, it can produce a death spiral that is hard to evade, so more options would be nice (deputizing the bandits makes the most sense).
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: AlStar on October 11, 2021, 10:10:04 am: I think the main problem is that there isn't any way to assign guards for your caravans / taxmen. I was able to fend off attacks from other nations, but apparently my soldiers (or the militia, for that matter) don't bother to raise a hand against general banditry.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on October 12, 2021, 08:38:52 am: I totally get where you're coming from Euchre, but I also see AlStars point. These bandits without taking a single loss can steal every penny from your kingdom even if you have 10000 men and a single land.

It needs to be made at least more believable, and I'm working on it currently so won't be long!

@Euchre, deputizing the bandits sounds hillarious
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on October 14, 2021, 09:56:23 am: This update has been focused on addressing some issues players have been having with bandit raids so I'll continue more on it below!

BANDIT RAIDS OVERHAULED (32 features)

The points raised by players have been logical so I've sought to address them in a way that keeps the threat there but has it at least make more sense. Now instead of freely being able to pillage every penny you earn, bandits will have reduced capacity for raiding and can end up fighting with your troops and killing some as well as losing some of their own.

* Added new system for handling bandit raids
* Buffed weak independent kingdom bandit raids
* Made Horde and Minor bandit raiders be divided by their total lands instead of their full population
* Added 50% chance of raid failing if player has 3x the defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 30% chance of raid failing if player has 2x the defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 25% chance of raid failing if player has 1.5x the defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 20% chance of raid failing if player has less than 1.5x defenders but more than the raiders sent
* Added 50% chance of raid success if player has 3x less defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 30% chance of raid success if player has 2x less defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 25% chance of raid success if player has 1.5x less defenders on the land than the raiders send
* Added 20% chance of raid success if raiders have less than 1.5x but more than the player
* Made each separate bandit raid be reported by itself instead of using merged system just saying minor bandits robbed you
* Added big success raids with double the income
* Added weak success raids with half the income
* Added system that tracks how many raids have been blocked by your palisades and lets you know at the end of the turn
* Added curfew law being active makes bandit raids twice as less likely to succeed
* Added new notification of bandit raid changes when enabling and disabling curfew law
* Added 1 in 20 chance a failed raid will destroy defence palisades
* Added 1 in 40 chance a failed raid will downgrade heavy defence palisades
* Added 1 in 60 chance a failed raid will downgrade thorn-laced defence palisades
* Added new pop up screen with sfx if palisades are destroyed/damaged
* Added event for failed raid killing a lone bandit
* Added event for failed raid killing a random number of bandits
* Added event for failed raid killing a random number of bandits and your soldiers
* Added event for failed raid killing a random number of your soldiers
* Added event for failed raid killing a lone one of your soldiers
* Added event for failed raid with raiders captured and killed (if prison closed)
* Added event for failed raid with raiders improsoned (if prison open)
* Added event for failed raid where bandits are caight and flee
* Added event for failed raid where bandits can't find a way in
* Added event for failed raid where bandits are chased off by angry peasants
* Made players bandit pillaging 50% less effective (out of fairness)

A comparison of old and new raid systems - https://i.imgur.com/xBD4XMd.png

INSTRMENT OF FATE (9 features)

Some players recently complained that they wished they could choose the fate of the independent leaders of enemy kingdoms when they defeat them, I have now made that possible with a number of options!

* Added new screen when invading the last land of an independent kingdom (credit Anarcho-raoism and CristianCam)
* Added 6 variant texts for ruler captured depending on their personality
* Added option to execute the leader
* Added option to force them to drink poison (6 variant reactions)
* Added option to toss them from the highest cliff
* Added option to exile them (6 variant reactions)
* Added option to set them free (6 variant reactions)
* Added option to ask them to become your champion (if champion slots are free)
* Added alternate outcome for champion request if their leader is hostile personality

The new options after defeating a kingdom - https://i.imgur.com/vOFVNhO.png

Poison it is - https://i.imgur.com/x9Ogs7y.png

You can join me - https://i.imgur.com/NjTB2Pr.png

LOCAL BANDIT GROUP CHANGES (3 features)

In game unless you have the artifact that prevents them, sometimes little bandit groups spawn within your own lands and swear to destroy you. I found their destruction to be quite boring as you are told the leader is executed in some end of turn text but you don't see it happen. I've expanded things now!

* Added pop up bandit groups to the new combat system
* Added new screen for defeating pop up bandit group showing leader execution
* Added +3 public opinion gain for defeating pop up bandit group

Take that, bandit scum - https://i.imgur.com/FDhy1Lp.png

BUGFIXES (4 features)

A few bug fixes, cheers for the reports guys!

* Fixed destroyed arena text bug (credit Aegis)
* Fixed annexation text bug (credit Danwar)
* Fixed bug with last 5 bandits from 5th bandit gang not being sent to battle
* Fixed an issue with skirmish victories being incorrectly reported in end of turn reports

EVERYTHING ELSE (3 feature)

This contains an actually pretty big change, the new non human champions thing is quite exciting for me!

* Blocked egghead reports for last stand only battles as they show nothing
* Added new system that allows for non human champions to be hired from the champions choice of 16 (credit Helloo)
* Added 9989 code to spawn pest group

A golem champion being hired - https://i.imgur.com/dxOfU6j.png

and a giant - https://i.imgur.com/i7I3YNf.png

WHAT'S NEXT

Now that the bandit stuff is out of the way I'm finishing coming up with some new combat system concepts before I move on and start creating them, lots of work to do but it's good to see it all come together!

Cheers

Hey guys,

It's Halloween again so here's a little Halloween gift for those enjoying Warsim at the moment or those who are diving back in!

A new halloween mod to play and a small update with 50 new halloween themed items!

I'm still working on the multi attack system (allowing players and enemies to launch more than one attack per year) and it's going well but there's a lot I wish to add and improve so it's going to take a little while longer.

But in the meantime I'm happy to be able to at least put out something for you guys!

To those who have been active in the community at all over the last year or so, thank you all so much. No matter what has happened this year, good or bad, there has always been daily comments across steam, reddit, youtube, twitter, discord, and the forums for Warsim and they are pretty much entirely positive and kind comments that mean so much. Such a lovely connection to the community and those who clearly love the game is so wholesome and is one of the strongest fuels that keeps this passion project in development full time for so many years now!

Beyond that, if anyone here doesn't own Warsim (or does and knows anyone who might enjoy it)

Warsim is on sale at 40% off for Steam Halloween sale so it'll be a lot cheaper to pick up ($4.79) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/659540/Warsim_The_Realm_of_Aslona/?beta=0

Post by: Huw2k8 on November 01, 2021, 05:51:20 am: Warsim 0.8.4.7 (Champions Tournament Update, 14 features)

Hey guys so I wasn't planning on releasing another update yet but a ton of people have been reporting an issue with the Arena and infinite fights against pacifists so I'm releasing this to patch that! (Sorry to anyone who's had the bug!)

CHAMPION FOR HIRE TOURNAMENT (1 feature)

While playing Warsim the idea popped into my head and I had to make it possible, now for 8000 gold and as long as the Arena is big enough to host 16 man tournaments, you can make all of the champions for hire fight, and hire the winner!

* Added the ability to launch a tournament from the champion for hire screen using all the fighters present with the winner becoming your champion

The new option - https://i.imgur.com/LrBlELy.png

The tournament is on - https://i.imgur.com/J0HPKvl.png

Post by: Huw2k8 on December 11, 2021, 12:43:00 pm: Warsim 0.8.4.8 (THE 30K CELEBRATION UPDATE, 333 features)

Hello everyone, I've been working a while on this content update as a big thank you to everyone for their support in helping Warsim reach 30'000 copies sold online! For a text based kingdom management game in 2021, that is surreal to me and it means I can work on this passion project for as long as I need!

I set out to do a number of things to celebrate this fantastic milestone and one of those was to make a 300 piece update, unfortunately I overshot it a little, so I added a few more things to push it to 333!

* Here's a video announcement about the 30k - https://youtu.be/iErWH8hmt1o
* And Warsim is currently 30% off for the 30k milestone. Though I will say, don't get your hopes up for 100% off if we make it to the 100k milestone, hahaha

Without further ado, here is the first section of the update, a new interesting character that will occupy and explore the realm.

ELYK THE MADMAN (32 features)

Elyk the Madman is a new character you may encounter in Warsim. He's a perpetual drunk and a wildcard that once befriended can pop up on occasion all over the game and help you out. Once met you can go and get drunk with him at the Three Blades inn at the Artifact Market anytime using the new 'Drinking with a friend' system I've added to the game.

I saw a talk on game design recently that opened my eyes to instances where a generic number is used to convey something and it made me think, so I've added a new section to champion stat screens to show with extra text what sort of strength a champion is, there are now 13 different ratings a champion can be based on their total battlescore from Absurdly weak, puny and weak, up to Elite and Absurdly Powerful.

* Added 13 different strength indicator texts 'As strong as a soldier / Elite / Absurdly Weak' etc

- A weak hero - https://i.imgur.com/ZT3dx45.png

- One of the best I found - https://i.imgur.com/aVbVf8t.png

BANDIT EXECUTION EFFECT (15 features)

It occured to me while watching a Warsim stream, that executing bandits in the throne room didn't have the effect it could, reducing bandit level. If you heard the king was giving the chop to every bandit in the throne room you might reconsider your ways!

HERO NAMES EXPANDED (246 features)

Name suffix additions are thing that can be added to random name suffixes. For example a character could be called Jorg the Ugly, but the suffix 'The Ugly' itself can be further randomised so it could be Jorg the Ugly Staffmaster, etc. With 100s of new additions to the many pre-existing name suffixes there are now 1000s more possibilities!

There were too many to include directly in the changelog so I've had to remove them, to see the full list of all 246 of them see this new wiki entry - https://warsim-the-realm-of-aslona.fandom.com/wiki/New_character_name_prefixes_added_in_Warsim_0.8.4.8?venotify=created

Post by: Huw2k8 on December 20, 2021, 07:34:30 pm: Hey guys, it's that lovely time of year again and I wanted to do something nice
for the homeless in my city. I used to do it every christmas and would spend
some of xmas night in my city giving out gift bags I'd bundled together.
The last Christmas I was able to do this in 2018 was with a friend and it was difficult but definitely worth it.

Having recently hit 30k copies sold with Warsim, while I'm not living the champagne
hot tub lifestyle I'm able to support myself well enough and am saving up for the
future, but now and especially in the age of covid I do wish I could do more.

I had planned to take every penny earned by Warsim over the 5 days leading up to
christmas to buy loads of gifts and essentials and go and give them out again but
hopefully on a bigger scale than before, but unfortunately covid cases are skyrocketing
and my girlfriend and I were recently directly exposed and are now quarantining.

I'd still like to do something of this kind though, so I am instead going to collect
all Warsim income the next 5 days and donate it all to a homeless charity called
Shelter.

I will record a video a day showing how I'm getting on, so stay tuned if you're interested.

Thank you all for reading, wish me luck! <3

Post by: Huw2k8 on December 21, 2021, 05:02:33 pm: Hey guys!

Had a fantastic response to yesterdays video and after the days end I'm happy to announce the results of the first day.

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

$111 from 15 units sold, Steam takes 30% ($33.30) leaving me with $77.70 (call it $78) and then by my checking today $78 converts to £58.87 (call it £60) so now with my original £200 starting donation we're at £260 which I'm super excited by!

Post by: Huw2k8 on December 23, 2021, 01:40:45 pm: Warsim Christmas Charity Project - Day 2 and 3 Summary

Hey guys!

So I missed yesterdays announcement because I've been a bit sick but we made $73 on steam two days ago, and a whopping $454 last night on the first day of the winter sale!

Absolutely fantastic to see.

We also had £60 in donations after the last video via paypal, so thanks so much guys!

THE MATH

$527 for both days combined, Steam takes 30% ($158.10 oof) which leaves me with $368.90 and then by my checking today $368.90 converts to £275.

With the £60 paypal donations and the £275 raised these last two days that's £335 total, and added to the previouys days £260 leaves us at a nice and tasty £595.

Fucking awesome.

We've still got today and tomorrow left before it's finally counted, but thank you so much to everyone who has supported this, the people gifting the game, the paypal donors etc, it's all super helpful and has made this awesome number possible.

Hey guys!

It's going to be Xmas soon for us, and probably is for many of you already! MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

Yesterday Warsim made $329 which is awesome!

**The Math**
-
$329, Steam takes 30% ($98.70 oof) which leaves me with $230 which converts to £171.89 (which I'll round up to £180).

Brings our total so far to £775 which is an awesome effort :)

Still got todays income which hasn't yet finished coming in, so tomorrow I'll release the final announcement and donate the funds :)

Just getting this out of the way so I can bounce off and enjoy Christmas!

Warsim made $430 yesterday from 81 copies sold which is the best final day I could have hope for!

THE MATH

$430, Steam takes 30% ($129 oof) which leaves me with $301 which converts to £224.84.

Add to the previous £775 brings us to £999.84... and because I'm such a generous soul, I'll donate the remaining £0.16 to bring it up to £1000

WHAT'S NEXT

I've been struggling a little lately and while Warsim is still 100% a full time project for me, catching covid and other life issues have temporarily knocked me off the saddle. I'm heading away for a month but have gotten myself a small work laptop and plan to crack out some coding while I'm away. When I return I aim to hit the ground running and get to work on more features and planned updates.

Regardless thank you all for the constant love and support!

Post by: axiomsofdominion on April 07, 2022, 10:45:23 am: I like the features but the most interesting thing for me is the sales numbers. How much can a very niche indie simulation game expect to make on Steam with presumably no marketing budget.

Do you get many Youtube or Twitch streamers doing videos?

You've got a shocking 740 reviews. Must have very high market saturation among the target audience. You could probably have sold for $20 and still kept 90% of your audience because that is how niche games work. High demand inelasticity.

Your Steam page is pretty good. Relatively core mechanics in the screenshots and such. Your "other games like this" section seems to be pretty terrible and you have the dreaded "Indie" tag in your top 5 tags which isn't ideal but the other tags are okay.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: EuchreJack on April 07, 2022, 12:02:55 pm: I think the low price point helped market saturation.
Well, at least when it's on sale. It's normal price is fine for those who miss the sales but want the game anyway.

Less than $5 USD: Why Not but it?
Less than $10 USD: Looks interesting, I'll give it a go
Less than $20 USD: I really want this game, and I can afford it.
(Still an impulse buy, but a weighting of economic reality occurs which leads some to pass)

Anything over $20 is "an investment". It's probably proceeded by some research and a weighting of economic reality. The consumer might have to think of purchasing at least once before purchasing. Now, sometimes that is ok as it means more selective consumers.
Title: Re: Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Dwarf fortress inspired procedural adventure game
Post by: Huw2k8 on April 07, 2022, 12:15:49 pm: Yeah I agree with EuchreJack, I put the price up by like $1.50 after years of working on it and growing it and I felt so worried I'd screw myself over. It was the right descision, but I don't know if having a $10-$15+ price tag would have hindered me from being able to get the point I was at, and would also invoke more negative feedback for the cost.

I personally rarely buy games over $5-10 either just out of preference, but there are tons of people who do and don't for all sorts of reasons.

@Axiomsofdominion,

I appreciate the kind words. It's shocked me I'm able to make a living doing this stuff. I get a few yters and streamers but I don't contact any myself at the moment so it's purely natural.

There has been no marketing budget for the game but I've been trying very hard at doing my own, for example this thread even. I've had a number of people from forums like Bay12 discover the game through them which is awesome!

The dreaded Indie Tag? I think I set that myself, why is Indie so bad haha

There's strong evidence and detailed research and discussion about this. Many people, especially for certain genres, won't buy a game they think is underpriced for what it promises because it implies there is something not right and that is why it is so low.

Post by: Huw2k8 on April 07, 2022, 01:56:36 pm: Interesting, well I'll keep that in mind for the future. I definitely feel more confident in the quality of Warsim now. I'm pretty sure it's number of features and codebase has tripled since it first went on steam. I guess at the time it was also a descision guided by disbelief that I would sell more than a handful of copies anyway haha.

I saw a thread by you on grogheads or something, too. I was googling around for active webforums that discuss strategy/fantasy/rpg/simulation/social. Turns out Reddit and Discord have basically completely crushed the old webforum game agnostic model. Too bad. Even back in 2015 when I was working on my own project actively webforums were much more viable.

Indie as a tag is simply too general. It doesn't mean anything. No one, barring a few exceptions that make the rule, actively searches for or considers indie. Better to have a more descriptive tag that hits a niche.

Post by: Huw2k8 on May 09, 2022, 05:10:21 am: Hey guys, so I've had this stuff coded for a little while and figure I'd put it out as a nice little update, hope you're all doing well :)

THRONE ROOM OR GNOME ROOM? (9 features)

Some new gnome related throne room events, you'll get biggleroll players and rude insulting gnomes!

* Added new throne room encounter 'Gnome insulter' (includes all 304 random gnome insults)
* Added 4 different gnome exit screens that take place after the gnome insulter encounter
* Added Biggleroll player throne room visitor (if you have discovered the cave gnome village)
* Added new gnome insult 'You make a strong case against randomly generated faces ugly one!' (credit Warzone)
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'menacing look and loud announcement'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'thrice jumping gnome'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'prepare yourself'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'The cursed corner'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'friendly gnome'

CROWNING CEREMONY RECROWNED (24 features)

When being inducted into the wild world of Warsim, it seems only fitting that you are first met by a random and possibly strange crowning ceremony. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but here it is! 20 different crowning events, 200 total possible crowning ceremonies!

* Added semi-randomised ceremony events to the games intro when starting a new world
* Added 'Gold coin from all' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Royal dog' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Royal squid kicking' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Great Shunning' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Dancing Goblin' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Applause' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Drunk in your honour' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Goblin slap' crowning ceremony event

* Added ceremonial intro with 10 varied intro texts
* Fixed bug in crowning ceremony text

THRONE ROOM DEBUG EXPANSION (4 features)

After playing around with the debug system I've fixed the game just straight up freezing/crashing when testing an encounter. Once the game tries to run the throne room event 1000 times it will fail and boot you out.

* Added new screen for encounter selector choice
* Added list of all current encounter types to the encounter selector choice
* Added error message and return to game instead of crash when trying to run a throne room encounter that can't run in debug mode
* Added 'encounter selector is active' indicator to the throne room

CURSED FROG MAN ENCOUNTER EXPANSION (2 features)

Saw this little encounter and got a funny idea. Previously your choice was 150 gold to cure him guarenteed, or refuse and see the disapointed frog man hop away. Now you can try and cut corners with a 4/5 chance of disaster, or a 1/5 chance of nailing it!

* Added new choice 'Have an alchemist brew something cheap' (2 gold) option to the cursed frog man encounter
* Added rare 1 in 5 outcome that the potion will work and give an alternate success screen

COINFLIPPER EXPANSION (28 features)

After the new coinflipper update it's expanded the encounter to be a lot less samey... except when you win all their gold. This had the same blanket response, which wore out pretty fast for me so I've expanded this with a ton of possible outcomes to make it a lot more varied... I'm thinking of you maniacs who like to build big empires and then see every single one of those 2549 visitors.

* Added 'Kids life savings' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (An extra reward for beating them)
* Added 'Second stash of gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (Abiliy to replay with someone who lost all their gold)
* Added 'Can't go back to my tribe' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (goblin recruit victory)
* Added 'I'll serve you' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (peasant recruit victory)
* Added 'Curses' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'You have bested me' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold

* Added 'out of gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'awkward shuffle' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'enjoy the gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'tips' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Wasnt mine' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Wife trouble' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Stolen gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Parents gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Ones loss' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Teary eyes' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Shock loss' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold

* Added 'Well done' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Deep breath' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Reworked Original' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Good guesser' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold

* Added 'Angry discovery' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Ogre poo' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold

Some little things

MERCENARY GROWTH (3 features)

After a while wrestling with and even partially coding a multi attack system for the player and AI it ended up not being feasable, this was unfortunate but as an alternate source of multiple per turn attacks increasing to help with the exponentially growing kingdoms when discovering new lands I opted for this system, and additionally to not make it one sided in the players favour I spent some time creating a system that allows enemies to use mercs too!

* Added new notification when discovering new lands
* Made discovering new lands increase all merc groups current and max yearly attacks by 1
* Made discovering new lands increase all future merc groups max yearly attacks by 1

MERCS OF THE ENEMY (17 features)

This has always been something that should have been a thing, but now enemy kingdoms can hire mercenaries and use them to fight you and their enemies! There are some rules and structure to it but otherwise you'll see the mercs getting a lot more use. Want your favourite group safe from being used? Hire them permanently instead of for one off attacks.

* Added 50% chance factions will consider hiring mercs to fight for them at the end of each turn
* Made Krut and Erak only able to use goblin mercenaries
* Made merc groups unhirable if already hired by the player or if all of their yearly attacks are used
* Made it so that only goblin mercs can be hired by savage kingdoms
* Made it so that factions will only hire mercs if they have twice the gold they need
* Added 5 variant intro text for when merc group attacks player
* Added 5 variant intro text for when merc group attack other kingdom and players spymaster finds it

* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully invade the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs fail to raid the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully raid the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs fail to skirmish the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully skirmish the player
* Added new end of turn report pop ups for all merc battles
* Added new battle notifications of merc troops
* Added slightly alternate post battle report after merc battles

RACEPACK EXPANSION (1 feature)

A steam user pointed out that if you choose random race packs you can sometimes end up with a pretty bad batch and just have to either roll with it or restart the game, It didn't take long to put this in and now you can keep rerolling till you find that batch that suits you and your world!

* Added ability to re-roll races from random racepacks (credit Willow Ufgood)

SCREEN COLOUR ADJUSTMENT (6 features)

After a steam discussion I decided to add this system to the game allowing the background colour to be changed to a number of pre-sets!

* Added new option in in-game settings menu to adjust screen colour (credit Kawasaky)
* Added white background screen pre-set
* Added light grey background screen pre-set (credit diplomametolius)
* Added dark grey background screen pre-set (credit diplomametolius)
* Added ability for player to make a custom colour set
* Made each colour option link to the players save so you can have different settings for different saves

* Fixed steward intro text bug (credit watchdog_2003)
* Fixed text bug in tower coronation (Credit ZedZed)
* Fixed no gold indicator when gibbering monk gives you gold (Credit pup)
* Fixed no +peasant indicator when gibbering monk gives you peasant (Credit pup)
* Fixed issue when setting theme music that game doesn't recognise any other choices once you've chosen no music (credit Pup)

EVERYTHING ELSE (1 feature)

* Added new goblin name 'Grog-Bog' (credit Vhester)

WHAT'S NEXT

This update has been tested thoroughly but Warsim is a wild beast and many things may have slipped by. I'll be trying my best to keep on top of this while I continue forward trying to finish the remaining combat update work and pushing towards the long awaited Warsim release!

Viva Warsim

This is an exciting update for me, all factions are now covered by the combat update code, and we have WARBEASTS!

It's been a long time coming due to the pandemic but I'm glad to get it out :)

Post by: Huw2k8 on September 21, 2022, 10:56:12 am: Hello everyone,

It's been too long since Warsim has had an update, and that as usual makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. The reason for the wait is a good one though, this adventurers update has ballooned into one of the biggest Warsim updates ever with over 7 billion new Warsim adventurer quests added, a total overhaul of Adventurers with much deeper effects in the world, new and revised systems for contacting them and conducting diplomacy and tons more!

It's nearing the final stages now as all I have to do is finish my testing, getting the saving and loading of the adventurer files to work better, and then it should be good to go.

I have two main concerns on the road to this updates release.

During a playtest where I spawned 10x the number of groups than the game default provides, I ran 300 years of adventuring and near the end, for no clear reason, there was a lone crash. I went back and tried to replicate it with no success, and I honestly have no clue what could have caused it.

I'm honestly sad it was so rare because the cause of it could be literally anything. There is nothing worse than a crash bug and those are the ones I focus on most.

The other concern is that the update has so many new features and parts that mentioning them in one changelog might be too big to post on as most places have a character limit and I have had this issue before with a previously gargantuan update, I suppose that's a good problem to have unlike the former!

Regardless, thank you for reading and following along, Warsim work is still plowing on even if you aren't seeing any updates!

Cheers and all the best

Huw

Post by: Huw2k8 on January 21, 2023, 08:27:13 am: Happy to announce the Warsim Generator Toolbox, a free tool made up of all 61 in game generators in Warsim for external use for anyone (DND campaigns/worldbuild or fun)

It came up after a comment from a DND DM wanting to use some of the races in a Warsim screenshot for a campaign and I thought, why not take it a step further.

All these generators are available in the Warsim extras menu so anyone who has the full game doesn't need this tool, but thought I'd share it here anyway :)
