0.0.13v1 Character Menu - Bug
Hi again friends! I just wanted to give a shout here for anyone who's having an issue with their controls. Specificaly if they stop working after going to the Character Menu. It seems to happen if you go there from the Map through the pause menu. So until Im able to do a bug fix (ASAP after getting back from Christmas holiday!), just go there from the button in the bottom right hand corner OR by just tapping 'C' :)
Sorry for any confusion, super random! But a big shoutout to @CaoLex for finding this nasty bug ːsteamhappyː
Also! For anyone who missed the latest update post, definitely get more details here!
http://steamcommunity.com/games/505060/announcements/detail
Well, this update was originally just supposed to have the GIFWIKI, but then I started working on the Holiday Update... which started to get umm... a little crazy. Lets just say there's snowboards in the game right now... they're slightly wonky, and sound like boats still, but they're kinda fun! :P I just wanted to try out something different :D

Elder Barrow Gate + Shield Units! - 0.0.12v1
Elder Barrow Gate
Introducing the Elder Barrow Gate. Once known as just the 'Elder Gate' when it was a thriving merchant destination between the lowlands and the mountains. It was a hotly contested location during the War, with so many Warlings lost that the barrows were constructed. It is said that spirits from that time still haunt the land, and the undead roam the night.
Alrighty friends! I started reading Lord of the Rings again, so enjoy a location inspired by the Barrow Downs ;) but really, I've been having a blast working on some super cool new areas and mechanics as well as continuing to work on the City Siege to come :D I know it'll be a busy next few weeks but I'm hoping to get out a few updates before the holidays! Also, the arena is broken right now, I'm fixing it up as we speak and will have it up in just a couple days hopefully :)

Alrighty friends I'm back in action and with a new and stable build :D for anyone who missed the latest update post, definitely get more details here!
Thanks again for being patient with me, and extra points to everyone who helped me squash some of those game breaking bugs! ːsteamhappyː
Here's a quick hotfix that *hopefully* fixes any map issues people were having, as well as balances out troop upgrading. But be sure to let me know if you have any ideas for balancing :)

ROLLBACK WARNING + BETA BRANCH!
Told you I'd add that rainbow border! Got your attention a LOT better didn't it? ;)
But Seriously...
Wanted to let everyone know I'm rolling back the last update (0.0.11v1) to (0.0.10v4). Just found out today there's a pretty bad bug causing Outposts to not be able to be taken over. Huge shoutout to @Eapple for letting me know! I'm super sorry about that friends xD
Good news is though! I'm rolling out the Beta branch to have version (0.0.11v1) for those of you who have already taken over the outposts and want to keep playing with Unit upgrading.
If you need instructions on how to get swap over to the betabranch, go ahead and check it out here! --> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=380122528
Once again, I'm really sorry about this one guys...
If I wasn't out of town for U.S. Thanksgiving I'd be fixing this one in a jiffy ːsteamsadː
But I'll be back in just a few days and will hop right on this, nothing breaks my heart more than seeing people frustrated when just trying to enjoy murdilating a few red cubes ;P

Army Ally Upgrades! - 0.0.11v1
Unit Upgrading!
I hope your army of peasants is finally ready to GET UPGRADED! :D as you fight your units will gain experience, then just pop into your character screen while on the map to upgrade them! Also, definitely let me know about any SUPER obvious balancing issues with this... like if it takes too long, or certain units feel too weak/strong etc :) Currently they only get experience when THEY fight, so definitely open to changing that :D
Been a busy past couple weeks :D Especially leading up to this! (it's about 4:30 am for me right now...) Getting ready to go see some family for U.S. Thanksgiving :D But I'm really happy with how things have been going so far, I've also been working on blocking in some location upgrades which *should* be ready for the next update :)

UPDATE WARNING!
Like my super fancy update header? Did it get your attention?
No? Okay... I might add a flashing rainbow banner to it then...
ANYWAYS.
Just wanted to give you guys fair warning that in the next update, which I plan to launch on 11/20/2017 will add a peasant population cap to the Siege Camp at Old Home Castle.
So if you have amassed a HYYUUUGE army (I'm looking at you @Myriad453) be sure to transfer them to an Outpost garrison if you want to keep them!
And if you haven't, or you're not sure what any of this means, you're probably fine and no worries :D
Have a great weekend friends! Let me know what games you've been playing lately! ːsteamhappyː

Dev Update
BOOM! Little did you guys know that Warcube has been broken for the past week and half on my computer while I rework a whole BUNCH of things in the game that I haven't touched for almost a year :) it was actually pretty scary, but now it's (hopefully) all back in working order, with some pretty cool improvements :D I hope that you're able to see the direction things are going, and that it gets you excited! Certain locations can now store units, you can raise a personal army (although mostly just peasants right now) and there's even enemy variance on the map. Things are getting super exciting :D

Been a long time coming! Ask @TheHardew, who's been waiting patiently to know what all the equipment icons mean :P
You can also now hotswap your weapon hands with alt + s
You might need to clear you key bindings for this one to work, but this is a handy little thing to do! Suggested by @Noobdytroyer! :D and if you like the view of that GIF, try toggling the Brawlcam with 'R'!
So go forth with thy peasant army! Conquer the... er... land?
I'm working on adding more units :P but have fun with the peasants while you can! Rumor has it there's now a LARGE bandit army across the river and causing trouble...
Lastly, I just want to show off this AWESOME lego recreation that @Snipertoaster put together!
This gave me the biggest smile, love seeing the mohawks on the enemies and that one of the units got a nemesis banner! :D
