Nations - in general: - Added: each nation received at least one sorcerer; - Update: Everyone got new parameters, and some workers can build different structures than before; - Update: Builders at Kan-Kaya, Confederation and Taca-Yici build a structure instead of transforming into it, there are exceptions, e.g. the Engineer stays in the factory;
Neutral: - Added: a group of entities with spirit endurance: -- Demon; -- Pyramid of Demons; -- Shade; -- Abyss; -- The Witch; -- Magic Stone; –- Idol of abundance - generates a large amount of food and space, destroying it provides a large amount of food and weakens neutral player strength;
Gameplay: - Fixed: the effect of hunger or regeneration, changes the health value by 1; - Button: next object and worker now centres the camera on that object; - Added: Spirit Endurance - objects with this durability cannot be targeted by regular attacks, they can only be destroyed with spells; - Added: spells of attack, healing, slowing, speedup, endgame and sight range, note: the sorcerer can't speedup himself, either with a single-target or area of effect spells; - Added: buttons are activated only by pressing the left mouse button and not by all; - Added: Characters have an invisible parameter "value" which translates into counting points and for AI to prioritize actions; - Added: when a player has only walls left, he is out of the game and the walls disappear; - Added: when an audio-visual effect is to be initiated on a given field but is beyond the range of observation of the human players, the initiation will not take place; - Added: road for AI is not visible to humans; - Fixed: units produced and those that appeared as new, charge the population; - Added: sound effects for stone, arrows, and melee; - Added; post-mortem effects (resurrection or food source) do not affect objects that are under construction; - Added, incomplete structures are not able to observe the terrain; - Added: right-clicking on a field where there is no object (character or building) cancels the selection if one has been made; - Added: the area the player is looking at is marked with a frame on the minimap; - Added: clicking on the minimap causes the camera to be positioned over the selected area; - Added: Defence towers under construction do not attack; - Added: an attacked building under construction doesn't switch the animation from creating to action mode (could give the impression that it's producing something; - Fixed: characters healing everyone in sight range now genuinely heal; - Added: cannot press the end of turn button while the AI is taking its turn; - Fixed: Increased the number of objects (Buildings + units) from 256 to 512; - Added: the game switches between calm and battle music depending on whether the player's characters or the player himself made an attack; - Added: you can right-click on the portraits of commanders and sorcerers in the starting bonus window to get information about them; - Added: the player can right-click on the left panel on an object icon that can be created by the current object to get info on it.

The magic update is almost here!
Slowly is working, but what is left is to make endgame spells work and force AI to use them.
Here is a small presentation: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmMl8ansWUh/
As for supernatural entities:
1. Witch - neutral sorcerer! 2. Daemon - slow brute; 3. Daemons pyramid - new daemons will come from here; 4. Shadow - fast traveller; 5. Cave of shadows - will create new shadows; 6. Cursed stone - the player will have to destroy them to access a new area.
To avoid overwork for sorcerers, daemons and shadows will have a long training time and destroy their structures, providing players with a massive amount of food.
Incoming: Magic update
Working on this update and today is not ready yet.
For now, sorcerers are added to the game as starting bonuses and can be chosen together with chieftains, depending on the race, some tribes can have less than 3 types (3 is the max number of sorcerers per tribe type).
What is important, sorcerers have special durability (blue heart) called spiritual, which means are immune to normal damage, but still can die from starvation.
Their basic role of them is fighting supernatural individuals that also will be added to the game, so be prepared for the attack of shadows and daemons.
Blue spells are the spiritual ones that can harm supernatural entities and other sorcerers.
Also, spells gonna cost a lot of food.
Some spells can be really long-range, and every sorcerer is knowing an end-game spell that gonna bring victory to the current player, this is the solution for players who likes a defence style of play.
I can say more, but next time I am prepared also a devlog showing this update in action soo you gonna see it all.
1.0.4 AI defense update
= V 1.0.4 =
AI: - Added: AI is building defence towers, the number per building the amount on buildings depends on whether it is set to aggressive or defensive; - Added: AI is building walls, for now only around his start location if it had it and is not set on aggressive type; - Improved: Because of building walls, AI can now have double the number of workers per level instead one per AI level; - Slowly expanding: Buildings can now create other facilities; - Slowly expanding: Protection from transforming farms and houses into other structures can be ignored if it is the only way to get such objects; - Added: Defence towers attack enemies;
Maps: - Added: Circle (Size M, Players 4); - Added: Claustrophobia (Size S, Players 8);
================================================================================== Here is an example of how AI base now can look:
Also, hers is some concept of incoming sorcerers and spell icons:
Important, the last character is a new version of the Chief of Defence for the Kan-Kaya Tribe, the current one will be a sorcerer because when I looked at him, I have a concept of the entire Kan-Kaya Tribe campaign, where he will be a main character and sorcerer.
In the next update, I wanna focus on adding them with magic to the game, after that gonna work on multiplayer.
V 1.0.3
Hi there and sorry for waiting. For now, I planning to launch updates every 2nd week until it will be enough good to leave for a while(until I got the idea for some major updates).
In this update, there is another AI improvement where building civilian buildings and training workers, the last segment is building a defence, after that, I gonna focus on adding sorcerers and multiplayer.
Also, because the level of AI aggression is high, I planning to change a bit the game economy to avoid the fast building of the base, for example, where currently some structure cost is 25 food, will be 75.
Here are some examples of how the AI base now looks like:
= V 1.0.3 =
AI: - Removed: limitation of the number of barracks; - Fixed: searching for building locations; - Added: searching for a building location takes into account only the type of terrain on which the character can move; - Improved: Depending on the level of the AI player, additional resources are awarded each turn, but not the unit limit; - Added: When AI is unable to feed its minions: -- does not produce troops or build more barracks; -- builds resource generators; - Added: When the AI does not have enough houses, it builds another: - Added: production of civilian units in the amount equal to the AI level;
Others: - Terrain icons in the map editor have been enlarged; - An intro has been added;
Map: - Added: Mountain King(size S);
V 1.0.2
Sorry for little late, here is another small update.
I need to prepare another project for the Halloween update so maybe after that will be large updates for MoW.
In this update, I add one fabular map and I plan to experiment more in this style.
= V 1.0.2 =
Animals: - Jaguar, Gorilla, Boar and crocodile, gained the ability "Human eater"; - Added: Monkey King; - Monkey: damage increased from 4 to 5; - Gorilla habitat: fixed the animation bug that when creating individuals, the object visually disappeared;
AI-Building: -Is looking for free space for construction, depending on the case: -- From the beginning of the starting location it is available on the current map; -- From the location of the builder; - First, he builds barracks and then moves soldiers (it was the other way around before); - Because the AI segment for assessing its economy does not exist yet, it limits the number of "barracks" to 2; Small example:
= V 1.0.1 = Golden ones: - Governor: -- Production time increased from 2 to 3 turns; -- Production cost increased from 10 to 30; - Overseer: -- Production time increased from 2 to 3 turns; -- Production cost increased from 30 to 50; - Nightmare: The amount of space needed (population limit) has been reduced from 2 to 1;
Mogu-Una: - Hunter - damage increased from 8 to 10; - Slinger - damage increased from 8 to 10;
Tray-Yici: -Shaman - Healing power increased from 8 to 10;
Game: - Fixed: when hovering over a job, in the case of shelter it is shown how much more he needs instead of how much he needs - Fixed: transforms and morphs update refuge amount properly.
SI: - Added: Functions that make the AI pay attention to diversity - this allows it to build various structures and produce various types of troops; - Fixed: economic characters (producing food or providing shelter like the chiefs of the economy) when they have the ability to build, they will gonna building something it is possible; - Fixed: it cancels building when unable, before that fix, the player cursor can gain the structure icon;
Campaign: - Act 5 added;
