Spoils of War 2 [Build 0413_01] [2019/PC/ENG] Uncen

Build 0413_01
TBD

Build 1202
Overview
October - November was focusing more on the core functionality of the systems we’re using to develop Spoils of War 2. Currently it’s at a point where we can focus more on the visual aspect of the game and is ready to move forward in adding content to the game. We have strived to offer you some kind of content in extent to combat as the underlying system needed to be worked on to contain to have access to the entire map and to give the game a broader experience once we populate the created databases.

Due to the changes, the whole map has been unlocked however Jerbjerg is the only one that can be assaulted and raided currently but the systems will automate all property/combat changes by the 14th.

This first week of December is releasing the base with these core changes and December 14th; Week 2 will be the second half with more of the content in place will be released.

For the Week 1 release it will just be the base of the game where we will added the content on top of that. Currently known bugs will be addressed at the bottom of this document after the breakdown.

Currently it’s a sandbox however we should have a prototype scenario completed by Week 2.

Known Issues
Game may take a little longer to load since the entire map is now available.
Unit Information Panel may display numbers that are off due to the upgrade system being migrated to the new system, it’s completed but will be smoother.
The controls for the Units are stick and hard to deselect, this will be addressed in the coming days after Week 1 release
After defeating a defending unit, the combat unit is moved onto the tile where the color of the city does not change and the unit will need to move off that tile and move back there in order to capture the city. This is completely strange and will be addressed.
Jernbjerg province are the only cities that can be raided and/or assaulted since they haven’t been transferred to the new system as that part wasn’t finalized yet, however will move to an automated system so once it converts, they all will convert.
Click through needs to be fixed
