Release Notes: Version 0.5.2783

This is an update for the existing Demo Release. It includes a number of bugfixes, some reworked features and many UX refinements.

It is a mandatory update.

Have fun trying out the new build!

Notable Gameplay Changes

• Economic Block: Military companies no longer fully blocks underlying tiles. Instead, there is now partial blocking, based on the total Power of the company occupying the tile.

• Garrisons Update: They now provide limited passive protection on the feudum tiles they belong to, against both raiding and blocking, based on their total Power. Garrisons also receive a defense bonus when defending against hostiles on their own tile.

• We have made significant changes to the default rulebook settings, including a boost to the labourer slots of terrain types without building options, a balancing pass on units, birth/death rules, wasteground rules, and so on.

UX/UI Changes

• Max size of the garrison is now shown on the cards in the Construct Improvement command (and everywhere else where these cards are used).

• Added Approximate Raiding Power to the Company Card for clarity.

• Added AP costs from the rulebook to the AP tooltip on company for extra clarity.

• Overhauled and updated the units' tooltips with additional details and context-sensitive parts, including service/contract renewal dates and costs.

• Added wasteground max size to Feudums badge tooltip.

• Grouped morale/health regen of units in the same company. Now only differences are reported when needed.

• Ignore Auto-trade during economic grace period (as the feudum costs nothing there)

Bugfixes

• Fix: Garrisons' Total Power didn't update when troops were rallied (regression bug)

• Fix: in some cases unit morale regenerated too much

• Fix: Create feudum cost was more expensive than it should be (was off by 1)

• Fix: Auto-trade settings are not sent to the client on subscribe (only a tick later)

• Fix: Updated pathfinder to walk around enemy company when behaviour check result is not "Engage" and other pathfinder QoL updates.

• Fix: Some visual glitches on "long" report items.

• Fix: Manage Units couldn't send all units to target company (shift+button) if the target company would be new.

• Fix: Manage Units command wasn't hidden on empty garrisons.
