Thank you to any of those 900 people who are reading this, it's an absolutely wonderful milestone and I am almost certain I have seen every single one of those reviews over the years. And for the last few years I've been aiming to reply to every last review!

It's undoubtably been a powerful and vital tool of motivation during development :)

Here's to another 100 :D

Thanks again

This is it, finally out of early access! It's a technicality that it's been in EA for so long but until the unfinished parts were all added I didn't consider it complete, and unfortunately back in 2017 I had myself a great number of loose ends, and spent a lot of time making new ones and expanding the game instead of closing those previous ones! Worth it? I think so. Without further ado here's the update!


The Dunelands is finally added! This was the last region of the game that was unfinished. There is a lot of new content so I've broken it down into sub categories.

This was suggested by a number of people and in a recent playthrough I couldn't shake the feeling of tediousness having to go and recruit these units in person in the world, which in the end made me stop bothering at all...

A player recently made a good point about how when they generate a random name after choosing a custom title it automatically generates only masculine names, whereas if you choose queen you get the feminine name options. I had a little look into this and have just made a simple solution that expands options for all players, now you can choose to generate feminine and masculine names for your character until you find one you like regardless of title choice!

* Added new feminine name generator for any player title choice (credit Lisab)
* Added new masculine name generated for any player title choice
* Remove title gated name generator system




Just a light expansion on how this system works so your big rich allies arent just giving you a measly 100 gold. All spurred on after a bug report got me looking in the area.

Literally popped into my head while playtesting that you should have this ability, and boy is it fun to mess around with and see Galbar McFuckwad slaying it on the battlefield!

* Added ability to rename any of your champions in the staff and hire screen


Getting a game over screen in Warsim has always been a bit lackluster, I've tried to improve this a lot more, give you more specific explanation of your death, and... A very interesting interaction with Death itself.

* Added new dynamic text when you hit a gameover screen explaining how you died (credit Gronn)

After checking out a bug with arena tourney betting not counting towards the main bet pool I decided to mix th ebest of both worlds, tournaments now add to the total bet pool whether made by your or the arena owner! More to win, or more to lose? Good luck :)

* Added +5000 gold to arena betting pool during grand tournaments


After a mysterious bug which was reducing gold between ending turn and the combat phase happened, I found out it was the steward dealing with the throne room and in the process of fixing the bug I expanded this system so that now, if you want to see it, you'll get reports of what your steward has been up to!

This was the biggest chunk of effort after the Dunelands, I spent an ungodly amount of time hunting the most obscure troublesome bugs from my lists and even discovered new ones in the process, after a ton of fixes and testing I can thankfully say all of the below listed ones are solved. Thank you to the many many people who are responsible for putting most of these on my radar, you guys are legends!

A Pint? A mirror to take a long hard look at myself and say the Warsim I started back in 2015 is finally released... But in all seriousness I can't thank everyone enough for the support and love Warsim has had in the last 7-8 years, going from a hobby test project to 40k copies sold and my dream job a reality.

Thank you all very much!

Hello everyone!

Just want to update you guys with the direction of Warsim going forward and what has been going on behind the scenes :)

So currently I'm working on the final update for Warsim before I push it out of early access. The early access release is almost a formality at this point as I've considered the game full and pretty much complete for a while now. But with a whole missing region of the game world it isn't complete... Enter, the Dunelands...

This is the bulk of the update, adding a whole new region, new factions, strange customs, and new locations to discover and conquer. But that's not the only thing that's coming in the next update.

I've been working on a number of sidesystems and quality of life improvements all over the game including

* A big overhaul of the unit recruitment system
* An expansion on the champion recruitment system
* Champion renaming
* Improvements to the player name generation system
* Game over screen overhaul
* Rework of financial aid from vassals and allies
* And some other smaller things

And the final boss of this update is bug fixes. We've been fortunate enough to have heaps of bug reports from people these last few months and I plan to try and tear through as many as I can. Currently I've fixed 24 bugs but there are more reports to get through and 2 particularly irksome bugs I'm currently in pursuit of.

Due to the nature of these bug reports I can't concretely say when the update will be ready but hopefully it won't be too far off.




Something many will be asking no doubt, what do I do after Warsim is released from it's 7 years of development and 5 years of early access?

What's next is I'll be getting myself a nice pint to celebrate!

But seriously I've got a gargantuan list of nice ideas that I decided to ignore until full release and I've been thinking of perhaps making the list public and letting you guys choose some nice things to add :)

Watch this space

Warsim has been in development since 2015 and I certainly didn't forsee an update like this in the future but hey, the future comes fast! Using a variety of AI text generators I fed a heap of different sets of Warsim content to the system and had it tell me what should come next, what come out of it was a shocking variety of content that actually fits well!


I put Warsim's entire joke library into the AI prompt and had it generate some jokes, it mostly kept repeatedly giving me 'Why did the chicken cross the road jokes' but in between those there were some absolutely hilarious ones as well as some very odd ones that weren't funny but just strange. You'll find these jokes now being said by court room comedians, jesters of the jester society etc.

* Added new joke 'Troll mother'
* Added new joke 'Mathventurers'
* Added new joke 'Cross the path'
* Added new joke 'The lamp'
* Added new joke 'Dwarf riddle'
* Added new joke 'Lieing ghost'


After writing the above section I took another look at the bizarre and rejected jokes and decided I just couldn't get rid of them as they were gold even if they made no sense. So now a slightly brain damaged gnome in the Darkdale Jester's Society called Dookie will tell you a Joke Joke, and pool from one of the 5 rejected AI jokes! Godspeed Dookie!

* Added Dookie the Gnome to the Jester's Society in Darkdale
* Added ability to ask Dookie to tell you a joke (Randomly says 1 of 5 rejected AI jokes)

These little bandit groups already have a number of possible name prefixes but thanks to the AI we have a few more!

* Added 15 AI generated Blackmarket Youth Bandit name suffixes (including 'the Tyke' 'the Cub' 'The Baby Face')

I fed the AI all the current animals and it filled in some missing ones and wrote the descriptions for them, how I didn't have Zebras in I don't know but thank you AI! Also it suggested Zorses which I had to research but they are indeed real. Thanks to Warsim's very robust creature systems these can show up all over the place now, as group names, as any of over 500k in-game races, as modified variants in animal fight pits and battling adventurers, so you may see a group of hearty goblin adventurers defeated by a band of Chaos Zorses!

I had to slightly tweak the data for some of them but the AI correctly understood the use of the stats and gave fairly appropriate ones to the creatures in question based on my prompt data so I am very impressed... And perhaps a little creeped out.

* Fixed retreating from battle still does weather skip system (Credit LML5280)
* Fixed duplicate faction name part

I have some bugs with the adventurers to fix, but after that I'm finally ready to start on the Dunelands, the Dunelands will also be the last major content update before I bring Warsim into full release! I am beyond excited and this has been a long time coming :)

Viva Warsim

Huw

It's finally here! I'm so glad to bring this out to you all and I hope you all enjoy! Adventurers were added a bit haphazardly many many years ago and I planned to fix the problems they had but got caught up in Warsim's ever growing feature creep for years. Now on the road to full release and closing all these loose ends I planned to overhaul adventurers and honestly it's been much bigger than I thought it would be, without further ado... (oh and I'll put all the screenshots at the bottom)


This is the 'main' section but this adventurers update has expanded to have so much content in it it's hard to properly categorise it all! I also must admit that at one point I got super stuck in with adventurer diplomacy code so much so that I was forgetting to actively update what had been changed so this changelog is a little incomplete.

Killed by action hippos, that's rough


Killed by battle horses? that's worse


Killed by a sheep stealing giant eh? Noble way to go


Killed by... Bone Crickets? Ew


Killed by chaos basilisks, okay you win that's the worst


Killed by village idiots!?! For shame


Sigh... Those were the farmer's children weren't they


Great success!


The new diplomacy system for adventurers



There's still a lot of stuff to tackle but ideally I'll be making a start on the final unfinished region of the game, the DUNELANDS! I am beyond excited as the region has been fully planned out for ages now

Viva Warsim

​Hello everyone,

It's been too long since Warsim has had an update, and that as usual makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. The reason for the wait is a good one though, this adventurers update has ballooned into one of the biggest Warsim updates ever with over 7 billion new Warsim adventurer quests added, a total overhaul of Adventurers with much deeper effects in the world, new and revised systems for contacting them and conducting diplomacy and tons more!

It's nearing the final stages now as all I have to do is finish my testing, getting the saving and loading of the adventurer files to work better, and then it should be good to go.

I have two main concerns on the road to this updates release.

During a playtest where I spawned 10x the number of groups than the game default provides, I ran 300 years of adventuring and near the end, for no clear reason, there was a lone crash. I went back and tried to replicate it with no success, and I honestly have no clue what could have caused it.

I'm honestly sad it was so rare because the cause of it could be literally anything. There is nothing worse than a crash bug and those are the ones I focus on most.

The other concern is that the update has so many new features and parts that mentioning them in one changelog might be too big to post on as most places have a character limit and I have had this issue before with a previously gargantuan update, I suppose that's a good problem to have unlike the former!

Regardless, thank you for reading and following along, Warsim work is still plowing on even if you aren't seeing any updates!

Cheers and all the best

Huw



Ew... goblin grease


never fight a gnome with insults


Helpful gobs

This has been a long time coming but I'm glad to be able to release the new trailer. It's rough around the edges but represents Warsim very well I think!

I recorded the voice over at a friends bedroom studio and the editing was done by a friend of someone I met while sparring haha.

Would love to know what you think! :)

This is an exciting update for me, all factions are now covered by the combat update code, and we have WARBEASTS!


This massive chunk of work sees every single faction in game now use the new combat system, gone are the days of the ever scrolling death notification! Hurrah!

* Made all of Warsims minor factions use the new combat system
* Added alternate event if Wagon man dies in battle but his troops survive and win
* Fixed issue with Fort Kullak troop count not changing from 500 unless they are defeated completely
* Made Fort Kullak troop count gain +5 per year
* Added Malnourished vampire units if attacking Baiaa while they're low on Thralls
* Added special event for Koova the Nomad King in battle
* Added special ending if you beat the nomads but not koova in battle
* Added special event for Demonic Koova in battle

Seeing as we're expanding the monster system and making them more used in game, it made sense to add more of them! Previously the game could generated 27840 of them, now where at a whopping 42875 with the newly added parts all combining together... God I love combinatrix.

Viva Warsim

Love you guys

Hello everyone!

While this might not seem like a massive update the work that's gone in to it is pretty huge! A massive update to mercenaries and how they function as well as a number of smaller side features!


For some time mercenary attacks have used Warsims old combat system, now it's being updated and coming with it's own extensions to the combat system!

* Made mercenary battle use the new combat system
* Added 10 new variants of battle intro events for mercenaries
* Made 5 new intro events for goblin mercenaries
* Made 3 new intro events for demon mercenaries
* Made 5 new intro events for militia mercenaries
* Added 3 alternate texts for mercenary skirmish victory
* Added merc successes and failures to the end of turn battle reports
* Added new graphic for demon mercs post battle
* Added new graphic for goblin mercs post battle
* Added new cheer sfx for demon mercs post battle
* Added new cheer sfx for goblin mercs post battle
* Added 3 alternate texts for mercenary skirmish loss
* Added indicator if merc group is destroyed in battle

End of turn report after a ton of player merc use



After a while wrestling with and even partially coding a multi attack system for the player and AI it ended up not being feasable, this was unfortunate but as an alternate source of multiple per turn attacks increasing to help with the exponentially growing kingdoms when discovering new lands I opted for this system, and additionally to not make it one sided in the players favour I spent some time creating a system that allows enemies to use mercs too!

* Added new notification when discovering new lands
* Made discovering new lands increase all merc groups current and max yearly attacks by 1
* Made discovering new lands increase all future merc groups max yearly attacks by 1


This has always been something that should have been a thing, but now enemy kingdoms can hire mercenaries and use them to fight you and their enemies! There are some rules and structure to it but otherwise you'll see the mercs getting a lot more use. Want your favourite group safe from being used? Hire them permanently instead of for one off attacks.

* Added 50% chance factions will consider hiring mercs to fight for them at the end of each turn
* Made Krut and Erak only able to use goblin mercenaries
* Made merc groups unhirable if already hired by the player or if all of their yearly attacks are used
* Made it so that only goblin mercs can be hired by savage kingdoms
* Made it so that factions will only hire mercs if they have twice the gold they need
* Added 5 variant intro text for when merc group attacks player
* Added 5 variant intro text for when merc group attack other kingdom and players spymaster finds it
* Added 3 alternate texts for report of AI vs AI merc group fight noticed by your spymaster
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs fail to invade the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully invade the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs fail to raid the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully raid the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs fail to skirmish the player
* Added 3 alternate texts for post battle screen when enemy mercs successfully skirmish the player
* Added new end of turn report pop ups for all merc battles
* Added new battle notifications of merc troops
* Added slightly alternate post battle report after merc battles

A kingdoms personal battle logs including their recent merc hire


Some merc attacks reported at the end of turn

A steam user pointed out that if you choose random race packs you can sometimes end up with a pretty bad batch and just have to either roll with it or restart the game, It didn't take long to put this in and now you can keep rerolling till you find that batch that suits you and your world!

* Added ability to re-roll races from random racepacks (credit Willow Ufgood)


After a steam discussion I decided to add this system to the game allowing the background colour to be changed to a number of pre-sets!

* Added new option in in-game settings menu to adjust screen colour (credit Kawasaky)
* Added white background screen pre-set
* Added light grey background screen pre-set (credit diplomametolius)
* Added dark grey background screen pre-set (credit diplomametolius)
* Added ability for player to make a custom colour set
* Made each colour option link to the players save so you can have different settings for different saves

One of the screens


And in a different colour









A few bug fixes entirely thanks to player reports, as always thanks guys!

* Fixed adventurer group text bug (credit watchdog_2003)
* Fixed steward intro text bug (credit watchdog_2003)
* Fixed text bug in tower coronation (Credit ZedZed)
* Fixed no gold indicator when gibbering monk gives you gold (Credit pup)
* Fixed no +peasant indicator when gibbering monk gives you peasant (Credit pup)
* Fixed issue when setting theme music that game doesn't recognise any other choices once you've chosen no music (credit Pup)


An australian friend of mine enlightened me to an aussie word for the poo you take the night after drinking, I thought it sounded like a goblin warchief!

* Added new goblin name 'Grog-Bog' (credit Vhester)


This update has been tested thoroughly but Warsim is a wild beast and many things may have slipped by. I'll be trying my best to keep on top of this while I continue forward trying to finish the remaining combat update work and pushing towards the long awaited Warsim release!

Cheers

Huw

Hey guys, so I've had this stuff coded for a little while and figure I'd put it out as a nice little update, hope you're all doing well :)


Some new gnome related throne room events, you'll get biggleroll players and rude insulting gnomes!

* Added new throne room encounter 'Gnome insulter' (includes all 304 random gnome insults)
* Added 4 different gnome exit screens that take place after the gnome insulter encounter
* Added Biggleroll player throne room visitor (if you have discovered the cave gnome village)
* Added new gnome insult 'You make a strong case against randomly generated faces ugly one!' (credit Warzone)
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'menacing look and loud announcement'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'thrice jumping gnome'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'prepare yourself'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'The cursed corner'
* Added gnome insult encounter intro 'friendly gnome'












When being inducted into the wild world of Warsim, it seems only fitting that you are first met by a random and possibly strange crowning ceremony. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but here it is! 20 different crowning events, 200 total possible crowning ceremonies!

* Added semi-randomised ceremony events to the games intro when starting a new world
* Added 'Gold coin from all' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Royal dog' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Royal squid kicking' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Great Shunning' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Dancing Goblin' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Applause' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Drunk in your honour' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Goblin slap' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Bottle smash' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Coin of fate' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Fart' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Stand atop the highest tower' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Scroll of rulers' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Arrow reign' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Chair breaker' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Kicking goblin' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Oooh Snake' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Drinking goblin' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Minute silence' crowning ceremony event
* Added 'Laughing for a positive reign' crowning ceremony event
* Added after ceremony screen
* Added ceremonial intro with 10 varied intro texts
* Fixed bug in crowning ceremony text


After playing around with the debug system I've fixed the game just straight up freezing/crashing when testing an encounter. Once the game tries to run the throne room event 1000 times it will fail and boot you out.

* Added new screen for encounter selector choice
* Added list of all current encounter types to the encounter selector choice
* Added error message and return to game instead of crash when trying to run a throne room encounter that can't run in debug mode
* Added 'encounter selector is active' indicator to the throne room








Saw this little encounter and got a funny idea. Previously your choice was 150 gold to cure him guarenteed, or refuse and see the disapointed frog man hop away. Now you can try and cut corners with a 4/5 chance of disaster, or a 1/5 chance of nailing it!

* Added new choice 'Have an alchemist brew something cheap' (2 gold) option to the cursed frog man encounter
* Added rare 1 in 5 outcome that the potion will work and give an alternate success screen


After the new coinflipper update it's expanded the encounter to be a lot less samey... except when you win all their gold. This had the same blanket response, which wore out pretty fast for me so I've expanded this with a ton of possible outcomes to make it a lot more varied... I'm thinking of you maniacs who like to build big empires and then see every single one of those 2549 visitors.

* Added 'Kids life savings' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (An extra reward for beating them)
* Added 'Second stash of gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (Abiliy to replay with someone who lost all their gold)
* Added 'Can't go back to my tribe' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (goblin recruit victory)
* Added 'I'll serve you' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold (peasant recruit victory)
* Added 'Curses' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'You have bested me' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'bows grins and leaves' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'out of gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'awkward shuffle' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'enjoy the gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'tips' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Wasnt mine' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Wife trouble' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Stolen gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Parents gold' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Ones loss' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Teary eyes' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Shock loss' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'I'm out' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Well done' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Deep breath' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Reworked Original' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Good guesser' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Bows' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Angry discovery' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Added 'Ogre poo' reaction for player winning all of coinflippers gold
* Fixed coin flip allowed when player has nothing (credit u/Studphish)
* Added new response when trying to flip with no gold


Some little things

* Added ability to skip stones in dockrow
* Added better titles for race prefix selection screens to clearly show which kingdom you are working on if you have multiple of the same race

Now you can also create custom races with two prefixes in the custom game mode!



I'm continuing to plow through Warsim stuff on my gigantic list, can't say when the next update will be but I'll be a lot more active across the Warsim community sharing my progress on it regardless :)

Cheers
Huw
