The wizard is a role for attackers (prisoners/workers).
As a wizard, the item you have in your hand will be invisible to the guards. This offers more strategy in the game and gives you a new complementary role.


In addition, as a wizard you float on a cloud.

Patch Note 0.5.5

We are back from the summer vacation and getting back to speed with this update.

Our goal with this and the next update is to increase combat intensity and diversity.

Combat in Successor should both be tactical, highly entertaining, and a diverse experience, and we are working hard to make it so.

With this update, the Lord's war party can now spawn from two new positions on the battle board, putting the player in a very different situation at each battle.

We also added game modifiers as rewards. A game modifier will only work in the upcoming battle, so make sure to pick the next battle carefully.

Some battle boards have been reworked to increase their tactical diversity.


Other adjustments
Fixed Archer missing Eagle eye trait
New units are now auto-added if the Lord's reputation allows it.
Balancing of resources


Improved Special Effects
Ribbons from blades
Changed how combat sounds work
Added new blood splatter
Better timing of combat animations
Pruning tiles from the edge of region maps


For the next update, we will add elements to the battle boards that can be activated with different tactical outcomes. Furthermore, will extreme weather conditions and day/night settings activate specific battle modifiers.

Please note that this update is only part one of two and is not yet uploaded to the playtesting build.

Best regards
The Playwood Project dev team

Thanks everyone for your bug reports! Here's the fixes included in this patch:

1. Fixed bug where Big Beard would not drop his helmet as reward if player defeated him as the last unit using a mind control effect (Thanks 镜中人)
   
2. Fixed bug where Big Beard's health was being assigned an incorrect low value in higher difficulties of the Arena Ambush encounter. (Thanks mr.kitty)
   
3. Fixed bug where Error: Clock cycle error: TypeError: Error #1009 at hm.gameLogic::ProceduralSpawnLogic/removeSpawnPointFromArray() was thrown when attempting to enter the boss room because there wasn't a valid space for the boss to spawn centered with the hero. The boss will now pick a random alternative spawn point if it fails to find preferred spawn. This bug occurred as a result of expanding the potential boss fight rooms to medium/large within the dungeon. (Thanks wolvje27 and (●,...,●))

• The game checks now for empty seeds. If your profile is missing a seed, a new one is automatically generated

newly added memory function!

This day of Mars history will be remembered in the centuries to come! Thanks to the genius of Dr. Katz and our tireless engineers, the industry of cat service on the planet is thriving. In fact, it's booming so much, that traditional Transporters are sometimes just not enough to support the growing logistics, especially when it comes to delivering goods from distant regions in the north and the south.

It all changes today, as the first (of many!) Cat Zeppelins are floating in the skies, silently and steadily delivering payload between Cargo Docks. Solar-powered and robot-piloted, they're here to revolutionize the way we think of transportation, bringing us one step (nay, leap!) closer to Catopia!



"I iz so proud! Zeppelinz naemd aftear my father'z old Freund, Ferdinand von Zeppelin! He uzed to be maiking zeppelinz too!", - Dr. Katz said in an official, yet personal, statement.

What a lovely day! Glory to Science! Glory to KOTOVOD!

• Cat Zeppelins (Beta!) - this time it's 1 type of Zeppelin and 1 type of Cargo Dock, more types to be added later on
  
• New item: Fertilizer boosts the growth of immature or recently harvested plants of Mars
  
• Science points are randomly given out when satisfying a loyal cat customers
  
• When gaining Science points from a Cat Knowledge archive or from a cat, progress bar of a research project that benefits from received points turns yellow
  
• New upgrade: Long Manipulator operating speed can be increased by 1 tick (default speed is 5 ticks)
  
• Neural Networks are automatically assigned to Cat Stores (same way cat researchers are automatically placed into Labs)
  
• Neural Networks optimization
  
• Reduced time of saving and loading a game
  
• Added possibility of moving buildings without resetting their stats (as with machine learning Models, Data Storages etc.), the default keyboard shortcut is 'V'
  
• Added possibility of limiting the amount of auto saves on disk
  
• Improved Twitch integration
