Hi.
I'd love to give this one a go too, though itch.io is still playing silly beggers with paypal (I wondered if chrome might make it behave but sadly not).
Hopefully if we can sort things out I can give the game a try since I would like to defeat those demons big_smile.

wow, you have those Problems still? Thought you already have gotten the full Version. Hope that gets sorted out, it would be a shame if not.

2017-12-13 13:46:20

yep I got the full version because Wastelander is a nice chap, but the problem with ich.io is unfortunately still there.

Ah okay, but I think than it won't be a Problem to get the update as well, since he knows your Problems with itch.io. BTW: Have you tryed to contact the Support from itch.io? Maybe they can help.
@wastelander: Cool think, glad you helped dark. You're a cool guy.

2017-12-13 15:17:34

@defender, I know time does fly!
To be honest until you said then, I was like 'who is fleck?' and had to search the changelogs, it's pretty cool though, he a little mini demon who gives you advice and stuff.

Thank you for your kind comments smile

@Niklas, no worries, thank you for the constant work on your end to help make the game better! I think you earned your place in the game smile

As for the witches, I'm not sure specifically which witch related thing you are referencing but there are numerous plans for future updates

@Dark, we will have to sort something soon cause you shouldn't have to keep asking for the latest updates, save the link you've got in the email at the moment and I'll note to myself to update it each time smile

@Wastelander, I suggested the witches a while ago and you said that witches will be added as far as I understood in the latest Update. That was as we talked about implementing more women in the game and that Magic also could fit in.

2017-12-14 12:59:08

@Niklas, hmm, sorry dude, I think I had some plans with the cave of in the drylands but it's gonna be quite big so I didn't touch it to delay the update too long, it's all on the list though smile

ah okay. Just out of interest, do the Towers and citadels in the new update have there own additional Locations and places to discover as well and are the Towers and citadels explorable, too?

2017-12-15 02:20:40

The black tower in Baiaa is fully explorable, but the citadels and towers that belong to league members are purely aesthetic at the moment, I just felt that the leagues status barely seemed to change anything, they are kind of like embassies, I plan eventually to have the player able to join the leagues of good/evil by invite but not for a while

2017-12-15 19:53:46

Little suggestion: More statements from the guards if for example, someone is brought to you because he has done a crime would be great. The comments wich are showing up are repetetive after a while. I am talking about the throne room encounters here.

2017-12-17 12:03:42

And it would be great if the player can get information about the quests such as the content of the quests, backgrounds etc.

2017-12-18 03:14:33 (edited by defender 2017-12-18 03:15:45)

I think it would be cool if the text of the Goblin museum (which I love by the way) in the black market would change to reflect your rule, and if you had a choice to get rid of the museum, losing favor with the goblins, and if during the goblin celebration/no goblin slavery, with your own people as well.
I wish the tower of histories would get merged with the history guild, it's kinda weird that it isn't, because they just kinda seem like the same thing ya know? :-)
Speaking of which, it just seems, well, odd that all these respectable merchants and guilds are lumped in with the blackmarket crowd, and their is so much their already that it's more like a black city than a black market, LOL.
Maybe that kind of stuff would only show up if you added it your self after gaining control of the area, there by turning it into more of a city with a red light district, or alternatively, just split the less savory elements off from the normal ones and make them two different areas?
And yes, I do realize that it would be allot of work to redo all those menus...
But it would future proof it better too I think.

2017-12-18 14:40:10

Wow, another huge update to Warsim. Glad to see this is still going strong; I might finally by this and play over the break. big_smile

Go, balloons. I don't see anything happening. Go, balloons. Go, balloons. Go, balloons. Stand by, confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring them. Balloons, balloons, balloons! More balloons. Tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. No confetti. All right. Go, balloons.

2017-12-19 08:32:15

I can only recommend the game, it is realy worth to Play.

2017-12-20 11:56:32

I personally like the black market as it is. I like it just because it is such a big area to explore. A mix out of Little and big Areas in the game is cool I think, so you never know what's coming next untill you find it out.

2017-12-21 10:38:17

I mean I had seen two typos in the kingdom Management tutorial in section 8 but have to read it again to be exact.

2017-12-22 05:44:44

@Niklas, that's a great idea about the guards statements, a little more diversity would never go amiss!

@Defender, the goblin museum stuff could definitely be looked into, it currently can change in two ways, if the blackmarket is ruled by a goblin, it will have an extra panel in the tour and new dialogue showing off the goblin ruler, also if a non-goblin blackmarket ruler bans goblins then the goblin hall will be closed down until the ban is revoked, so it's already kind of in the game, would be cool for the player to be able to trigger this themselves though I agree!

The tower of histories could stand to be grown a little more, perhaps with an npc caretaker, but I don't think the two should be merged, the tower of histories is bias to the east as it's an eastern institution whereas the history guild gets some things wrong too, both are separate imperfect institutions in a large world, I think it makes sense for their to be various different kinds of things.

As for the guilds of guildrow, it's a complicated one, speaking strictly about development, the blackmarket was a teeny tiny location where you could do one or two things, like hire bandits, attack or play a coin flip game, it was pretty sorry looking, but I loved the idea of a blackmarket, I really wanted the feeling of a shady place where all sorts of things went on and where different players could have a whole different experience and completely miss whole locations and cool things because of it's size, as it grew and was split into districts I ended up adding guildrow, while I had the same thought process as you at first and thought it might be a bad idea, the lore behind it is that the institutions in guildrow are exempt from taxes to encourage guilds to stay there, it's kind of like a medieval tax haven, the guilds add an air of legitimacy to an otherwise illegitimate den of crooks and ner-do-wels, and for me at least, over numerous playthroughs it has succeeded in making the blackmarket feel more like a dark seedy town with good parts and bad parts.

I agree with your ideas about adding ability to expand it, currently this is sort of already implemented but I have massive plans for the blackmarket in the future, for now if you upgrade the blackmarket you get new areas and all previous areas get improved so it's worth checking out!

@Soulkeeper, thanks, hope you enjoy it smile

@Niklas, exactly my feeling about the market! glad you feel the same smile it's my favorite location

let me know if you find those typos, I'll investigate! cheers

Hmm, seems I was wrong because I looked at the kingdom management help again but couldn't find the typos anymore. But I have a question. If i bed multiple times in the arena, will the gold I won in one fight be added onto my account already or is that gold lost if I bed on a second fight directly after that?

2017-12-24 02:11:44

@niklas, as soon as you win a bet you get the gold added to your kingdoms gold

good to know. I am currently playing at normal and to wrong decisions I ended up with 0 Gold. Wow, I was so desperate that I raided the royal bank after that. *smile*. And finaly, my public opinion goes boom. Haha. BTW: Marry Christmas to you all, I hope you have an awesome Christmas.

2017-12-24 15:02:37

One throne room typo I found I think. If the assassin showes up the game says idenfifis instead of identifis if I heart it right.

2017-12-24 21:03:56

@Niklas, thanks for the report, found it and fixed it! smile

Yaye! I got a post on a hundred!
lol


Anyway, I finally bought Warsim, now I can talk from an up to date viewpoint.
I just really, really wish I had the choice to have the main music in HQ...
But I can not wait to see everything, especially that new vampire city.
