I put a lot of effort into this update, I made sure to change stuff that I knew you wanted for a longer time, fixed a lot of bugs and added fire to the game!
The game will now be in full release state and for sale.
Hope you like it!
Mechanics:
-New mechanic Fire:
Fire does come from folliwing sources: lightning strikes some enemies
Fire spreads over time to close buildings. Some buildings like pathways can't burn. Well workers can extinguish fire if they have water in their well The player can extinguish fire as well Rain can extinguish fire. (not thunderstorm) Units take a lot of damage if they stand inside fire. This can happen before peacetime is over!
-New weather: Thunder storm (can appear at forest, beach and mountains)
-New enemy variation: Goblin with fire -When building something on top of like flowers or gras, the deko object will now disappear. -Units at the barracks do now have multiple spawnpoints, that they are not stuck inside of each other. -The UI does now say "Next wave" because it was a bit confusing. -The player can now collect water
Balancing:
-Reduced the amount of plague that gets spread when units die -Increased the peacetime in the mission "Vikings" because it was way too difficult with the new events
Bugfixes:
-When buildings with npcs were dirty you couldn't select them from the top down view. -The players head was weird when cleaning. -If destroying a spawner very fast the boss did not spawn which was a problem when it was a quest. -A wave will now finish spawning even if the spawner got destroyed. -The player does now get set to the correct position when sawing wood. -Healers could get the plague -When the plague was there the happieness UI did not realize -The auto trading was not enabled when upgrading the market if you never talked to the trader before -When getting back from invisibility some heads were glitched out -Some items had collission when inside the castle (fern, mushrooms, ...) -The assassin couldn't climb walls sometimes
Changelog Version 0.9.9.9
Hey guys,
today I've got a big update, hope you like the new mechanics. :-)
New happieness factor: cleanliness -Your buildings gets dirty over time -villagers really hate dirty houses, the more buildings are dirty, the less happy they get -New Building and unit to prevent that: Cleaner
I really wanted the buildings to look dirty but even after 10 hours I couldn't get it to work because of the way the buildings handle colors. If someone is good at programming shaders, would be happy for some help. :-)
New happieness factor: Plague plague can come through multiple ways: -natural disaster: Plague infection -dirty castle -rats
-Your villagers will take damage and die from the plague, healers can heal it. -The plague will spread a lot if people die from it. -The plague can only appear after peacetime -people cough and their faces get greener the iller they are
-New enemy: Rat
rats don't spawn normaly, they spawn through following ways: -natural disaster: Rat infection -dirty castle
-rats will infest units with plague and sometimes steal food + water -they can only spawn afer peacetime
Other changes:
-The player can now harvest eggs -The player can clean the castle
-Made some buildings smaller that units can better walk between buildings -Added houses and cleaners to the tutorial
Bugfixes:
-Villagers could have the dress -Chickens had no sound -Sheep had no sound -Wood cutters got stuck if the tree was directly next to their hut
I tried a lot of different castle layouts and there is a chance that the cleaner unit can't reach a building. Please send me a layout of your castle if that happens, that I can fix it. Thanks!

The campaign is finished!
Hey guys,
the campaign is finally done! Hope you like it!
I wont post any pictures of the last campaign mission because I don't want to spoiler anyone.
These changes are from the last two updates (0.9.9.7 + 0.9.9.8):
Because I'm at home for the most part, I can work a lot at the game. I hope I can manage to update the game to 1.0 in the next two weeks. Because of that I will move the sale until that happend. You can have a sale only every 2 months and I really want to draw as much attention as possible to the game at the full release. If you want to know what I will add please check out the post about future updates.
If there are major bugs that should definetly be fixed to this point please tell me. But of course I will fix bugs after it as well.

New UI design
Hey guys,
I'm currently working on some new design for the UI in my game. This is what I've come up so far:
I really like the contrast, it is a lot easier to read the text with this design. The colors harmonize very well.
Hope you like the new design!
Greetings The GamingPug

Update 1.0.2: -More achievements -More clothing
I will try my best to update the game at least every two weeks, if possible every week. If there are some major bugs I will upload small updates inbetween to fix them.
There were some cool user suggestions like a game mode were you have a set number of units to conquer a castle and a lot of other ideas for cool buildings like a town hall, a charcoal maker, fisherman and many more. I might also want add a very big update with some AI like in Stronghold Crusader. Those things are extremely time consuming and I will decide if I do them depending on how good the game sold at the point I get there. I really want to continue working on this game, I love this project, but if I can't earn money with it, I sadly will be forced to leave it at it is.
If you have any suggestions how to get a bigger player base please let me know!
The updates up to 1.0.2 will be definetly added!
I will keep you updated and hope that I can continue working at the game!
Greetings and stay healthy!
