OK time to really get things started again. This patch focuses on a new fear mechanic, and sprinkles in a few more other enemies as well.

New debuff: Fear. Causes the afflicted target to run away from nearest foe, prevents ability usage. Triggers clarity.

New Monsters (art is placeholder, pending testing and feedback on mechanics):

Gremlin: a low level dark demon that shoots bolts which apply fear
Banshee: a mid/high level undead unit with a passive fear aura
Fearface: a powerful cousin of the troubler that also aplies 2 turns of fear.
Orc Pyromancer: has a channeled fire beam

New (Reworked, returning) bosses:

Ole Thunderbones: an ogre mage with lots of hp who summons spark spirits, hurls balls of darkness, has a melee stun attack, and respawns as a lightning shambler.

Slazephan the Philosopher: a snake wizard much like his RW1 incarnation, though now he can summon his own snakes so he no longer has to be incredibly rare. Also gains some resists, some hp, and a powerful single target heal.

Shru the Toad Sorcerer: a Nightmare Toad wizard who stuns and damages anything that damages him. Also has poison nova, teleport, and a long range arcane ranged attack.

(These all count as wizards for the purposes of Summon Wizard)

Living scrolls no longer spawn as normal enemies (aka from lairs)

New Spell:
Wave of Dread- Level 3 Dark Sorcery, deals 22 damage and applies 4 turns of fear in a cone aoe. No upgrades yet.

The Emperor was in high spirits. For the first time over the past eight years, he managed to significantly expand his influence over the galaxy. Ariadne has entered an agreement with him, both sides pledging to the secrecy of sensitive information; the New Empire made no moves to stop his recruiting campaign on the Damned Flotilla territory. Of course, he was not yet fully prepared for war, but given a few years, his modest Empire would become a formidable opponent to anyone. An then he can think about expanding. Provided that his main project will be realized.

After giving orders to some of his troops, Ironside proceeded to the prisoner’s cell to try and get information out of him, something that can help the ruler to achieve the goal set by the legendary General.

“Greetings, Oracle.” Ironside’s voice sounded calm. “I would like to hear the tale of Jericho’s past.”

“Greetings to my captor,” the Oracle retorted. “Jericho’s secrets shall remain unheard.”

“A pity. Your secrets are curious to me,” said the Emperor. “But I am more curious about the Divide and the Frontier. The reasons for billions of deaths. You may not have seen it yourself, but you could know. I want to understand why Bartle destroyed so many people to reach his goal, why he later attacked the Direktorium.”

“I think you should look for the answers to those questions in historical records, not in my head, general.”

“Jericho people usually don’t talk at all. It makes it hard to understand the reasons behind your viewpoint. I interrogated several followers of Bartle back in 4612. The only piece of information I managed to pry out of them was that Bartle is still alive.”

“After the neural network was destroyed, it was decided to hide Bartle for a while. I am quite surprised that your torture managed to break my brothers enough for them to reveal such a highly guarded secret.”

“There was no torture. There was no time for it, even. Your brothers were so eager to come up with elaborate insults during interrogation that they unwittingly implied this fact, and then literally just said it out loud, independent of each other. But I just want to understand how Jericho sees the world.”

“I will not give up this knowledge for free. In return, you will tell me how you escaped Earth while it was besieged.”

“It’s a very simple story. Shortly before the siege, I arrived on Earth with half of the fleet under my control on personal orders from the Emperor. When the siege began, the Legion and Warden fleets fought the Biomorphs furiously. In the first month alone, we burned about a million of their ships. When it became clear that the situation was extremely dangerous, the Emperor summoned me to the palace. He told me to go to the sector where my fleet was stationed. He ordered me to prepare for the coming war with those responsible for the attack on Alien territory and provided me with a Jarl to get out of the Solar System. My implants were compatible with it. The Biomorphs detected the lone stealthy interceptor, but weren’t able to attack in time.”

“Alright, I will tell you about Bartle, the Signal, the Divide and Jericho. It all started with the Frontier. Young Bartle was collecting transmitters for it. It was such an important space exploration project at the time that its communication systems just had to be able to connect to the nearby star systems. To test the transmitters, it was decided to try and establish connection to old machinery in those systems, which was usually impossible because of the Signal. But Bartle managed to connect to the Spectre-RL radio telescope sent to Proxima Centauri before the Signal appeared. It turned out that the Signal remained homogenous even at such great distances. A year later, Bartle secured a modern radio telescope for his work. Compiling the new information with the Spectre-RL data, he created the best measuring instrument in the whole galaxy.

By taking pictures of pulsars and black holes, he discovered a pattern. Bartle saw the first messages from the Precursors in the Signal’s modulations. The same year he planned to publish an article on his findings, the fall of the Frontier happened. The prophet survived only by a miracle. Despite the chaos on Earth, Bartle worked incredibly hard to decipher the Signal. He discovered what later became the Divide Philosophy: the Signal is a promise to elevate those civilizations that will agree to peacefully co-exist with the Precursors. But this also presented a seed of doubt in the Signal, since there was no trace of other higher civilizations in the galaxy.

Seeing the chaos on Earth, Bartle realized that the situation can be used as an opportunity to elevate humanity to the peak of new technology. He created the Church of the Divide to unite and lead those who believe in the Signal. At the time, the prophet still didn’t know many important truths and often acted on his intuition. It was impossible to study the Signal further without the Frontier. Impossible to understand each facet of its meaning. Forging a path to outer space was the main goal of the Divide. And as for the history of the Religious wars, I think you know it better than me.”

“I do,” said Ironside. “But I never understood why Bartle pressured the Direktorium to issue the Divide Decree.”

“You’re saying that the prophet did that? Nonsense!” the Oracle replied.

“It just seems suspicious to me that this mysterious man tried to build ark ships even before the Decree was issued. This ambitious project of his was rejected time after time. But then… just after the Direktorium overpowered the Divide, he suddenly managed to convince the Direktors to build his precious arks, which now were prisons,” said the Emperor.

The Oracle showed no emotion in response; his implants made not a single hiccup. He fully believed in his messiah.

“You better ask Bartle himself about this, Ironside. Though I doubt he will grant you an audience. As for the Divide’s path to Jericho, it’s a tale of great suffering. We lost most of our people in the first century. Our numbers kept dropping until we managed to establish our first proper colonies, Jericho-1, Jericho-2 and Jericho-3. Our civilization inherited the name of the most ancient and famed city of Earth. And our attack on Direktorium was an act of revenge. People who had lost millions of relatives to human error on Earth wanted revenge on those who they felt had made them suffer. It is no great secret that the attack on the peaceful fleet of the Direktorium was not an order from Bartle, and further escalation of the conflict happened very quickly. After the First War for Bartle sector began, we could no longer coexist peacefully with the Direktorium.”

The Emperor was pleased with what he heard.

“Thank you for your tale, Oracle,” he said. “I believe we will have more fruitful talks in the future. It’s just a pity that you’re insane.”

“Indeed,” the Jericho man laughed. He proceeded to look at the photo report on the ships being built at the Ironside’s shipyards.

One of the design principles guiding Goblin Camp is that as you play the game, your settlement grows and evolves. A big part of that is that your goblins gain experience and develop their skills, possibly becoming specialized at a craft. What’s more, they also get cute little outfits!



Everyone who’s tried our game knows our goblins: the little blue fellows with the white shorts. That’s how they emerge from the underworld, fresh-faced and ready for a new life. But they won’t stay that way! After surviving their first winter in the middle realms, goblins acquire the Hardy trait, and a set of clothes to go with it. They’ve even let their hair grow out!



As you can see from the tooltip, the Hardy trait gives a bonus to Constitution and Willpower. Each goblin has a total of nine individual stats, which affect their working and combat ability, overall health and morale, and so on. The stats you’ll notice most at this stage of the game are Speed and Working Speed, which can be enhanced or impaired by various conditions. Goblins who are hungry or had to sleep in the cold, for example, will work slower and be unhappier.



In addition to traits like Hardy, goblins will now also gather experience as they do various tasks around the camp. We currently track 28 different kinds of experience, from cutting down trees and hauling items to crafting products in workshops. As goblins earn experience, they will gain levels in whatever it is they’re doing: if they cut down enough trees, for example, they’ll become a lumber-goblin, and gain an outfit that goes with that skill. Experience levels will improve a goblin’s working speed at that task, and also grant additional bonuses. For example, a fisher-goblin is going to get in a lot of practice with a fishing spear, so they’ll also get a bonus to their Fighting skill.



What’s more, when goblins gain experience in a craft that’s done at a workshop, they’ll claim a workshop as their own. Once they’ve claimed a workshop, any tasks that need to be done there will be assigned to that goblin if they’re available. The goblin will also tend to idle around their workshop. This way, you’ll be most likely to get the best goblin for the job.



So when our next update rolls in - and it won’t be long! - your goblin population will be a lot more diverse and a lot more skilled.
