The Druid's Staff
The Druid's Staff, the new version of DarkDIRE has been released! The new version of DarkDIRE has these features and bug fixes:
*Add "Rebirth Mode" for kingdoms. When NPCs and resources are spent in a kingdom, the kingdom will go into this mode. A "Rebirth Crystal" will activate and start to spread a different biome with new resources and NPCs. It will be controlled by an enemy nation of the current nation. The new NPCs will start fighting with the old NPCs on sight. Existing buildings will be destroyed.
*Add a new series of staffs called "Staffs of Rebirth". They do siege damage and can be used to force a "Rebirth Crystal" to activate regardless of the kingdom's current condition.
*Add gathering jobs for player characters. Useful for players that have their own kingdom with heirs, since these "heir" characters are always logged in with your main character, might as well put them to work. Player characters with an active job will automatically move around and collect resources with woodcutting, mining, farming, and treasure hunting.
*Creeping vines world object.
*Fixed a bug with stacking world building items (Barrels, Crates, and Bags).
*World Building Mode will now automatically target world objects when your character moves.
*Per player feedback, the library in the elven starting kingdom will now be open during the day.
*Kingdom exporting for rulers will now work on steam versions and will properly save all world object data.
*Downloading your character from another world to your world will now also save the character's equipment.
*Per player feedback, You will now be able to delete your characters from the character selection menu.
*Per player feedback, Added a simple grouping for players can share XP from kills. Target another player and click group. The other player will need to do the same.
*Fixed some bugs related to switching between main character and heirs.
*Per player feedback, Added new quest with Anda in Swampstone, that will lead the player to a Rank 6 training area. It will be her 12th quest after the blacksmith crafting quest. Worlds built with any versions before 1.21.144 will need to reset the game world ("Local Settings/Destroy the World") to access this new content.
Happy Adventuring!
