1.3 - Resources Update

Bronze Age
A downloadable game for Windows

1.3 is here, with quality of life fixes, upgradable structures, and mining.

Major Features

  • Brand new world generator, producing more varied worlds to explore.
  • Copper ore and limestone now generate in the world, and can be mined to upgrade structures and train powerful new warriors.
  • Fertile soil generates along rivers, and gives a bonus to farm production.
  • Some structures can be upgraded for more health, damage, or productivity.
  • Fast forward buttons.
  • Structures are now constructed in order, instead of spreading materials out over all construction projects at once.
  • Streamlined control of multiple settlements and groups.
  • Improvements to simulation and rendering performance.

Other Notes

  • Warbands no longer have to be ordered to "Leave" a settlement before they are controllable. Just order them to move.
  • Weather was originally planned for 1.3. It had to be removed during performance optimization, as it was having a drastic effect on frame rates. I'll be revisiting it in the future, however. 
  • Many of the stats listed in the previous devlog have been changed, a forum post with updated numbers is in the works.

Existing saves should upgrade to 1.3 without issue, but I recommend starting a new world anyway. Old worlds won't get benefit of the new world generator, and as such wont have the new resources (copper ore, limestone, and fertile soil).
