For this week we added a new community level in soulburg. The siege, it's a challenge where you can only use the towers currently built in the map.
The special towers in this map need special attention in order to work, so the ballista tower needs a stick to be armed, the trebuchet tower will need a stone. The Scalding tower will drop flaming oil on the ground for some time and lastly the Battering Ram tower will attack when you hit it. So with this arsenal you will have to manage to protect the village's crystal in order to win!
There is also an easter egg on the map, a special quest given by villager Herold. If you succeed you will unlock the battering ram tower!
We added a very hard parkour map in soulburg, to try the parkour you will need 1 Deadly Ichor. Every time you fall you will need to pay the entrance fee again. If you succeed you will be able to unlock the new Beta table. This table will give you access to our beta features requiring testing.
We added the Beta Table. Where you can test content currently in development. Some content is harder to develop than others and having your input while developing them helps us to make them better on their release. So please share any feedback or problems you have with these systems.

Ui Mouse click fix.
Since the last controller update of friday we redone a part on how the ui skill menu behaves. While using a keyboard if you unlock a skill ability it could result in the mouse click not being able to be registered on other ui like the survival and the inventory. Resulting in the ui being stuck and unable to interact with them.

UPDATE #13 Soulburg Village
This week in Citywars we bring you the first villages! Start anew in Soulburg. You did your best in your house, but don't have enough space for all your trophies and furniture? Move to the village and start fresh!
Once you purchase the village you have the ability to lock the gates or to open them so you and your friends have a place together. Everyone can build their home there! Expand together and build multiple homes each with their own interior!
The village is also equipped with the sandbox tool that allows you to spawn enemies for testing your towers. Ideal to have a big party with your friends.
After testing and improving upon the house concept, we felt that was a great addition to the house gameplay.
We know our lumberjack Aaron was not very productive lately. It was because, under certain circumstances, he was not able to find his way to the resources he wanted to gather.
Good news, we redid a part of his pathfinding system, so now he can search and reach more efficiently every type of resource which should help his behavior.
Each workshop now has a sign on its roof. The sign will display an icon and a text describing the workshop. We hope it will help to quickly differentiate each house, especially in the build menu.
When there was only the LumberCamp it was not a problem, but now every resource has their own workshop. Thatβs more than 7 workshops! And more are coming! It was getting tedious to differentiate them all. This update should help a lot.
For this week's challenge you will need to place 100 Blue Crow Eggs! Place some on your crafting tables, arrange them in a pattern, build a bridge! We want to see them everywhere!! Don't forget to post screenshot or your awesome artworks in #screenshot in our discord channel.
