Paper Kingdom News

Thank you everyone for supporting the Early Access phase of Paper Kingdom. Feedback you provided paints a clear picture on where to improve and hopefully you will like what you see in this devlog.

[h3]These changes are work in progress and NOT in the current version of Paper Kingdom.[/h3]

[h3]Neighbors[/h3]
Settlements and animals are no longer just in-game events but living entities.

You can discover other settlements while working on various jobs, assign diplomats or pay tributes to improve their opinion of you and send spies to gather intel about their forces.

You can invade settlements for their resources. Settlements with low enough prosperity can be conquered for good.

You can also trade with these settlements as long as they are not rivalrous.

Each settlement has a hidden "culture" some are rarer than others and their culture determines their market and what they drop when conquered.

[h3]New Features[/h3]

• Some jobs are no longer guaranteed to succeed and is chance based.
  
• You can hold right click to keep getting more cards from the stack, also increased attach to stack range.
  

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• Having a recipe also unlocks it now, so if you buy a recipe from your neighbors you will permanently unlock it.
  
• Settlers can eat Meals that are attached to other cards as long as they have unreserved amounts. So you can safely attach your 10k stack of Meals to Port now.
  
• If a settler doesn't eat at least half of their monthly Meal requirement, they will lose 1 Health point. This means some characters can die before they get angry enough to leave. Not paying them still makes them angry but no health penalty.
  
• If a settler eats half or more than half of their monthly Meal requirement it will auto heal the settler for 2 Health points.
  
• Idle Settlers tip is now separated into Idle Settlers and Idle Ships
  

[h3]New Cards[/h3]

• Tribal Bow (Crafted with Sticks and Raw hide)
  
• Hunter (Tribesman + Tribal Bow = Hunter)
  
• Horseman (Hunter + Horse = Horseman, Horsemen are really strong early game soldiers but they require Coins to maintain and only way to get Coins early on is invading higher ranked settlements)
  
• Deer (Can be hunted at Forest with Hunter, gives 5 Meat and 1 Raw hide same as Cow)
  
• Fishing Net (Crafted with Raw hide)
  
• Fisher (Character + Fishing Net = Fisher)
  
• River (Fisher can fish here, it has limited Fishing jobs)
  
• Fishing Ship (Fisher + Ship = Fishing Ship, can fish at Sea, fishing at Sea is also limited now)
  
• Gold Ore (Obtained through Mine, can be smelted into Coins at Forge)
  
• Herb (Can be collected by Witch and Scholar at Forest, used to cure Plague)
  
• Spear
  
• Spearman (Early game soldier)
  
• Axe
  
• Axeman (Early game soldier)
  

[h3]New Situations[/h3]

• Flax Discovered (Discovery of Flax similar to how you get Wheat for the first time, you can still get Flax at Farmlands)
  
• River Discovered
  

See you at next devlog, these are not the only changes in version 4.

Fixed Butchery requirements not scaling with building level (it was only a visual bug, now fixed)

Character cards now also display if they are working on a scaled job. Previously "Growing Wheats" would be "Growing Wheats (Lv. 5)" now.

Added a shortcut for centering the board (SHIFT + F)
Added a toggle for edge scrolling

It's kind of a weird one, seasonal background tint texture would always follow the middle of the screen instead of adjusting to the whole frame on some systems.

Changed it to be a just one really big texture staying put at the center instead of trying to "smart" scale.

No one reported this before but in case you still have this problem let me know.

Added new option "auto focus battles", set true by default.

Fixed ship repair job getting stuck at first ship while trying to repair multiple ships.
Fixed jobs assigning multiple cards of the same requirement in rare cases.

Fixed saddle updating all attached horses to warhorses instead of just one, thereby effectively destroying the horse stack.
