Devlog: Hospitals, tents, herbalists and more
New revival mechanic
Hospitals, tents and herbalists! We decided to change how revivalworks in the game. Now units fallen in combat become wounded and they can be healed in a hospital. Wounded units now take slots - hospital beds. Hospitals have some, and you will be able to place field tents to increase slots for wounded units. Also you can hire a herbalist so that he can gather some herbs, increasing the healing chance of wounded units.
Barracks
The army will now have a limit to how many units you can have. But you will be able to increase it by building more barracks. This way you will have to build some basic infrastructure to have a big army.
Training camp
Training camp is an advanced building in the military tab that will be able to train random units up to level 5.
Bakery and wheat production chain
Wheat field now generates some amount of wheat that can be used directly by the bakery to create food. Or wheat can be processed to flour in a windmill to generate even more food in the bakery.
New hunter and wild animals
Hunters will now hunt animals across the map, and animals will wander a bit. We wanted to make hunting more dynamic while still being easy to use. Allowing some animals to enter or leave the map later during Seasons update.
Tech tree changes
We decided to use wood/stone/iron/gold as prices in the tech tree. Knowledge as a resource was very uninteractive and boring to play with. Now the research cost is spread between different resources and you will have to balance your research needs with other aspects of your economy.. We also added some new unlocks for the new buildings and to balance some old stuff.
We also added a lot of smaller changes and fixes that you will be able to check out pretty soon!

- fixed: market keep working when special resource is no longer available
- fixed: special resource production stops at night start
- fixed: after night markets loose trading resource
- fixed: market worker not being fired when trading resource is set to none
- fixed: market auto selects new resource if current trading resource is no longer available
- fixed: game crash sometimes due to incorrect market loading
Patch 0.5.1

- changed: Sawmill workers now will cut trees outside of captured area
- changed: Warriors gold maitanance is up 33%
- changed: Trebuchet and balista gold maintanance is up 100%
- fixed: Trebuchetes/Balistas will now die if you will run out of gold
- fixed: Traps workshop loading incorrectly
- fixed: Buildings in repair process not loading correctly after they where repaired
- fixed: Floodpath pathfinding optimizations
- fixed: Units sometimes walking through walls near towers
- fixed: Traps in stock not loading correctly sometimes

Traps update
Traps can help you defend your city. They trigger automatically when enemies are nearby. Right now there are two traps that you can use: Explosive Barrel and Arrow Wall Trap. What other traps should we add to the game? Let us know of your ideas!
Watch out! Enemies can also explode now! Don't let the bomber get too close to your buildings or units.
You can also use explosive enemies to your own advantage!
We’ve updated different parts of our UI, now it is easier to understand and looks better.
Check out the new economy overview window. It shows you how much gold you generate from each source and how much you spend. It will help you to optimize your army and city.
Tower doors now connect to walls on different levels. You can also enable and disable each door, making the path possible or closed when designing your wall defenses.
Siege machines now require ammo to shoot. Ammo can be created in a siege workshop, and it will cost you some wood and stone.
There are also some other smaller changes that you will see playing the game.
Thanks and see you next time!
