Hey guys so this is an update just working through some of the leftovers of my current warsim to do list before I move on to some promised update work that's going to take a bit longer, lots of different stuff as well as some cool things to see!

**MODDERS TOOLBOX IMPROVED**

* Made normal throne room encounters occur more often than celebration related encounter during celebration

**RACE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS**

I wasn't planning on touching the race system again for a while but I had a new influx of ideas poured in and so while actioning them I added some new features to pre-existing races as well as my own new prefixes, now you can have space races that will blast off to space at some point and leave the game world. Also thanks to /u/administrativetreat7 there are now millions more races!

**MONSTER IMPROVEMENTS**

Some great ideas on expanding the monster system, now you can train trainers and feed your monsters for a chance of bonus strength, also 1000s of new possible monster combinations!

* Added ability to train your monster trainer (credit KenshiraTheTrinity @audiogames.net)
* Added feeding any green monster a goblin instantly guarentees +1 strength

* Added thin spikes top head part

**BUGFIXES**

Lots of bugfixes here including some that have been on my list for quite some time, the most annoying two bugs were grand champions getting killed in a tournment and then not appearing in the hall of fame, after losing a favourite champion of mine in a game to this it got personal, also independent lords not having faces relevant to the race, so eyeless vampires in your throne room, and their leader would be eyeless but the lords would just be regular vampires... not anymore!

* Fixed option tags in specific monster generator (credit 71)
* Fixed ditch race description
* Fixed league of darkness and league of good kingdom status not changing when discovering new lands
* Fixed broken face part
* Fixed text colour of intro text in barracks/training grounds/etc

* Fixed champion battle with independent champion skipping a screen
* Fixed grand champion defeated against foreign champ still exists with no name (credit u/timedonutheart)

**EVERYTHING ELSE**

A couple of other changes of varying significance!

* Added coin sound and coin loss screen to garalds city tours
* Changed colour of credits screen
* Updated title of warsim music library extras screen
* Updated hire staff and champions screen to manage staff and champions (credit u/LurkMorePlease)

Hey guys, for anyone on the fence about buying the game check out our steam reviews, the game is 96% positive and receives regular updates including 6 in the last month alone!

If you already have it but know someone who might like it, let them know and help support this little indie guy!

I want to start by saying that this may be one of my favourite updates in a long time, not that I don't like monster trainers or the improved arena or anything like that, but as the developer of a video game it's very hard to find something new that you haven't seen before, I've made every aspect of this game myself so I know it like my own hand... Until now.

As of the last Warsim update we had 396'775 races in the game, which I'll admit is a lot still, more than anyone could hope to see in 10'000 warsim playthroughs, but I wanted to find a way to get this number higher with a plan to submit the final figure to guiness as a possible video game world record.

After a lot more beasts added, tons of race prefixes, and some new types of race modifications things were looking good, but the real twist was a new concept to combine some of the race prefixes by splitting them into two categories, I thought about the elder scrolls and how they have Dark Elves in the game just like you can find in Warsim, I thought you could also get Reaving Dark Elves and it wouldn't sound out of place, but you couldn't have Reaving Laughing Elves, that just sounds silly.

So I split all of the prefixes into two categories, ones that are more like states and others that are more like traits, this creates a huge combo system where some races will use to random but mergeable traits to create races that we can't imagine, so to follow my earlier point about being a dev, with this new system the races that come from it are completely beyond my imagination and are basically always a surprise for me despite the fact I made the game, meaning I can experience things like the players do!

I am so hyped to bring this update to you guys and I hope you find some weird and wonderful races as a result of this, feel free to share any really weird ones or funny ones!

Oh and with all the new content and the new system in place, the total number of possible races in Warsim as of this update are... 55'822'936! 55.8 Million races! Hopefully we'll hear back from the world record people and Warsim can potentially get a world record!

**RACE GENERATOR WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT**

* Added new race prefix stack system for race generation allowing for some extended race prefixes
* Added tons of new beast races to the game
* Total races in Warsim now 55'822'936 (was 396'775 as of last update)

**NEW RACES**

Some new races added, Fungus folk are kind of like mushroom men but green and with different troop trees, People are a new race of humanoids who differ to normal humans a little bit, and finally beast races now have additional modifiers that can get us some more weird and wonderful races like Demi-Pugs or Exo-Snails!

* Added new base race 'Fungus Folk' (Seedling, Living Fungus, Fungus Master) large population, really weak lower tier unit
* Added new type of animal race 'Exo' (Exo-Dogs, Exo-Tigers, Exo-Worms)
* Added new race type 'People' (Person, Warrior Person, Guardian Person)
* Added new type of animal race 'Demi' (Demi-Hawks, Demi-Wolves, Demi-Frogs)

**NEW RACE PREFIXES**

I'm actually really happy with a lot of these prefixes, some of them are little more than race descriptions and have no bearing on how they act, but generally as a rule I like to make the prefixes have an effect if I can, this allows for different races to have completely differing effects and with the new update it's possible for some of these to stack in weird ways. My favourite of the new prefixes are Fragile which sets the race to such low strength it would be light fighting glass people, Crying which has them cry out if you attack their lands, and Deformed which removes a random part of the deformed creatures face creating all manner of weird looking people!

* Added new race prefix 'Sparse' slightly more savage, +5 battlescore, obsurdly low population

Hey guys, so this update has been stewing for a few days and has mainly stemmed from me playing the game and then finding stuff during my playthroughs to update, I spent extensive time messing around with the arena as well as lots of bugfixing and updating, there's quite a bit of new and improved stuff in this update!

**A POLISHED ARENA**

After finishing working on the arena a few updates back I didn't think there was much to improve on, but recent testing and brainstorming has led to massive changes, including reworking the hall of fame which now has 3x longer descriptions for the dead heroes and it's own music. Demotion works differently, special events regarding champions that were previously blocked now happen, there are new screens for buying/taking over the arena, setting arena rules and laws has been improved and upgrades are explained a little better. Bribing the grand champion to fight again will also not cost as much unless you are bigger and more powerful.

**GOBLIN DEVELOPMENTS**

This is kind of a silly reference to an older part of the game, in the early days of warsim's exploration screen there was a single region of locations, one of them was a small goblin settlement that could be developed to absurd levels to provide cheap goblin hirelings, well this is similar but not as powerful. Still get to the point where you're raking in up to 2.5k goblin troops per turn. (Note: will be adding issues in the future for any kingdom where the goblins outnumber all others, so this will not be the most viable situation if you aren't also getting lots of other troops)

* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin Hamlet) 30000 gold (0-35 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin Hamlet) 40000 gold (0-45 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin Hamlet) 55000 gold (0-60 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin Town) 70000 gold (0-80 goblin per turn)

* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin Town) 135000 gold (0-150 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Small Goblin City) 150000 gold (0-200 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin City) 200000 gold (0-250 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Large Goblin City) 250000 gold (0-350 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin Megacity) 350000 gold (0-500 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Huge Goblin Megacity) 500000 gold (0-750 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Goblin City-State) 750000 gold (0-1000 goblin per turn)
* Added new kingdom upgrade (Huge Goblin City-State) 1000000 gold (0-2500 goblin per turn)

**NEW SMALLER FEATURES**

Now the throne room has a little more detailed blurb depending on how many visitors there are, there is now a bonus stat in the kingdom stats screen showing which kingdom is most densely populated which was quite interesting to see, now when a civ gets more civilised their people get a little stronger too. I was playtesting recently and in one event an emissary I sent got killed and I was sent his head, now there's dynamic a screen and graphic for that.

* Added Dynamic 19 different possible texts depending on how many visitors you have in throne room

**END OF TURN SCREENS**

This update has had a few focuses, mainly improving the hiring and firing of the grand champion, end of turn event screens (of which there are now far more) how bluetrii works before battle, and a few other things.

**NEW HELMETS**

Building on from last updates helmet system there are now 205k more helmets, previously the system had a good range but I love piling the procedural systems with content to make the possible outcomes get silly, you probably wont see a fraction of a percentage of these helmets but you can certainly try.

* Added 205'000 new helmets (was 20k now 225k)

**GRAND CHAMPION IMPROVEMENTS**

As suggested by steam player '71' the ability to hire the grand champion was removed from game a while ago due to bugs but never re-added despite reference to being able to hire the champion, so I came back and added the system again as well as some additional screens for bribing him to fight, and how he appears in the hall of fame if he joins you with a valid number of victories.

* Added ability to hire grand champion from grand champion screen (chance he'll refuse) (credit 71)
* Added new screens to bribing grand champion and refusal
* Added grunt sound effect when asking champion to fight again and refusing
* Added coin sound to bribing champion to fight more fights
* Added new Arena hall of fame tag (retired into king's service)

**END OF TURN SCREENS**

Prior to this update all these events would be single lines in your end of turn report, these are some more noteworthy events worth having their own screen to ensure you understand the imporance of them, each of them have a graphic and a sound effect.

* Added special end of turn pop up screen for Bandit Horde collapse of low troops
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for destruction of slavers fort (only if you have unlocked the slavers fort on your map)

* Added special end of turn pop up screen for wasting kingdom collapse
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for wasting kingdom refugees
* Added special end of turn pop up screen for cousin returning with army

**BLUETRII SCREEN**

They way using this magic fruit is displayed before a battle is very unintuitive and scrappy, now it's got it's own screen and graphic and can be easily disabled if it gets annoying!

* Added new screen for bluetrii before battle
* Added ability to disable bluetrii pop-ups before battle from the pop-up itself
* Added special screen for being able to eat one barrel of bluetrii

* Added grunt sound to skugg the blackmarket slums slaver
* Added new laughing sound effect

The slave revolt seems more like an eventuality than something that may happen, now with these upgrades you can protect the fort a little better if you own it!

* Added slaver fort walls upgrade (10000 gold) (harder for slaves to revolt)
* Added slaver fort better walls upgrade (20000 gold) (even harder for slaves to revolt)

**NEW NAME SUFFIXES**

A new bundle of name suffixes seeing as I haven't added any in a while, may have gotten carried away with the blood-related names but they sound cool. My favourite is 'Very-Stable-Genius' can't wait to find a kingdom ruled by someone with that suffix!

* Added new name suffix 'The Last of his Line' (+45 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodwalker' (+51 Battlescore)
* Added new name suffix 'The Bloodswimmer' (+30 Battlescore)

Hey guys so another quick update, this one focuses primarily on three areas, the presentation of the laws screen, guard helmets and adding more reactions.

**LAWS SCREEN REVAMPED**

I was playing through the laws screen recently and decided it needed a bit of a facelift, now there are tons more screens, there's a new law you can declare and there will be sound effects when looking at laws and when changing them, hopefully making the laws screen feel a lot better.

**CHAMPION GUARDS**

An issue with assassinations was raised by ecclark, and in my opinion you should be able to essentially solve any problem in your kingdom with enough gold, so now there are better upgrades to pretty much remove assassinations of your grand champion from the game.

* Added grand champion militia guard (500gold) (2x less assassinations on champions) (credit u/ecclark_7)

So another quick burst update, the main drive of this update was to continue developing the reaction system and testing the throne room, but it spiralled into a bit of spring cleaning my old warsim to-do list, I cleared it down from 1200 things to 1000 by a mix of (adding stuff from the list, merging ideas that were similar, removing things that are now in the game etc) As a result there are some interesting new things as well as some ideas that were suggested a while ago but are now finally in.

**NEW MAJOR FEATURES**

The major new features here are that now, any races that are Masked, ie Masked Dwarves, Masked Goblins, Masked Demons, will not have visible faces but instead use masks from a pool of 72 million procedurally generated ones.

They look like this


And this


Also the arena (if unowned by you) can still be upgraded and grow over time depending on who owns it and how big it is, and there is a new special encounter where mercenary companies will visit you and offer a varied discount!

* Added new system for masked races (now instead of their default faces, they get a mask from one of 72.6 million possible masks)
* Added dynamic system for the arena to be upgraded when not owned by you
* Added new encounter 'Mercenary company visit' (4 different kinds of visit)
* Added ability for mistreatment of merc company leader to get you banned from hiring them forever
* Added certain crimes result in higher relation change when fugutive of other kingdom is accepted/killed/arrested etc (ie killing the rulers pet, treason etc) (credit Defender)
* Added ability to skip some or all guest introductions in celebration ceremony (with chance of relation drop)

**NEW RACE TYPES**

With these four suffixes there are now 5872 new races that can be found in your world, the three headed idea was on my to do list from a suggestion by Bookrage from Audiogames.net, the recently updated system for two-headed races made it surprisingly easy to make a three-headed face work properly. After getting the three-headed system in I tested to see if it worked with masks and to my surprise it did, so now there are Two-headed and Three-headed races that wear masks, also Stout folk.

* Added new race suffix 'Three-Headed' (half population, three heads graphic, +50 battlescore) (credit Bookrage)
* Added new race suffix 'Stout' (much lower population, slightly stronger)
* Added new race suffix 'Three-Headed Masked' (half population, three heads graphic, Wears masks, +52 battlescore)
* Added new race suffix 'Two-Headed Masked' (two heads graphic, Wears masks, +12 battlescore)

Three headed race



Three headed race with masks



**THRONE ROOM TWEAKS**

A couple of tweaks to things in the throne room!

* Added some no gold reactions significantly or slightly increase the odds of public opinion change
* Slightly increased the odds of public opinion loss for having no gold when agreeing to pay
* Merged knight questing reaction system

**SMALLER FEATURES**

Some smaller but still noteworthy features, a hilarious suggestion from /u/chronoligcal, when in the scorpion fighting pit now there's a small chance the 'scorpion' that comes out is actually a goblin in disguise. Now the goblinstone in Wildwood can be captured and colonised by savages (only if there are enough savages elsewhere). Free slaves is now do-able from the laws screen too and the whole free slaves process has had a little facelift, and you can generate masks in the extras menu because why not!

* Added chance that scorpion in scorp fighting pit is actually a goblin holding sharp claws (questionable scorpion) (credit u/Chronoligcal)
* Made goblinstone in wildwood colonisable by savages (rare)
* Added seperate introduction text to celebration from throne room (so the single use festival you pay for from entertainment is a little different from the one every x years you declared)
* Reworked screens for freeing slaves and slave soldiers (+new graphic)
* Added ability to free slaves in social laws screen too (credit 71)
* Added random mask generator to extras menu

**NEW SOUNDS**

Not a huge sound increase but a few little ones, I've got a big folder full of new sounds I plan to add to the game when I can, just trying to find the right places for them.

* Added new Ahem sound effect (now when used the game picks one at random)
* Added new Yeah sound effect
* Added new chain break sound effect to freeing slaves

**NEW REACTIONS**

As with the last update a good focus on expanding the reactions system, I want to ensure it really does feel fresh and different and that you couldn't predict what would happen, any suggestions for reactions in the throne room are always welcome!

* Added 'I shall find glory in your name' knight reaction to questing
* Added 'Sword be guided' knight reaction to questing
* Added 'sweet throne' no gold reaction
* Added 'sorry sigh' no gold reaction
* Added dynamic sigh no gold reaction
