Hey Everyone,

A fair load of new content and again a ton of fixes thanks to player suggestions, Still mostly TJTheSoundBoard (A bug reporting machine) on discord. I've also been working on the combat update properly finally.

NEW NAME SUFFIXES (27 features)

Warsim got some awesome new reviews recently and some of the usernames of the reviewers caught my eye, Watercloak and Gloryfire seemed like awesome suffixes heroes could have, like Dargo Firecloak, or Gorbo Corpsefire. I got a bit carried away with variants but hey, new content!

PRISON ESCAPE IMPROVED (5 features)

There were a few issues with how the prison overflowing events were written and a bug with escapees not actually escaping, now all sorted!

* Reworked prison overflowing so guards free prisoners end of turn event to show bandit level change and number of troops freed

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 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

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

Huw
