Lords and Ladies!

Our automatic in-game toggle for Halloween assets may or may not have leaked this update Nevertheless, the spooky season is upon us, so either embrace the unique look of Rising Lords' annual Halloween patch, or decide to leave things as they are by switching to the non-Halloween branch! To switch branches, go to Rising Lords in your Steam Library, press the gear icon and select 'Properties', go to 'Betas' and select 'no-halloween' from the drop down menu. In addition to the visual changes, you can look forward to some bug fixes and improvements. As always, thank you for your continued input here on Steam and on our Community Discord!

Shaman Skin Set

For those of you who want your general to match the atmosphere of skeletal animals and black crops, we have even more news: There's a brand new Shaman Halloween Skin! Frighten others with your gruesome appearance and conquer the whole map!

0.22.8 (Oktober 27) Halloween Update

New:

shaman halloween skin (arms + torso + headgear)
halloween graphics in scenario gameplay
notification when lacking gold to send resources
joystick sensitivity setting in graphics menu

Fixes:

Prevent the player from ending a turn early in story mode skipping tasks or texts
Fixed "change army resource" node in story tree
Fixed some options not saved correctly
Fixed some missing characters for Turkish language
Fixed missing wall mode / castle mode exit instructions
Fixed infinite loop in story tree where a task was deleted and added over and over again
Prevent conquering allied regions in automatic battles
Fixed bathhouses / cathedrals showing as 'plains' in battle
Fixed menus behind 'to battle!' popup and others

Changes:

regional battles now center around castles, when appropriate
helper card dismiss state saved to map to prevent re-display upon load
opened up more tiles for castle building
snapping cursor to tiles prioritizess rows
added some dynamic tokens to 'workplace snap group'
Modified placement of HUD button gamepad hints on the bottom left. Spaced out army + diplomacy hints from the provisions.

Some AI changes for very small maps:

Added reckless land grabs for small maps where the AI player only has a single region. This will break up stalemates on small maps with the same resources in each region.
Added AI to bypass maximum building restrictions on maps of 4 regions or less, but only if there is a region with more, or equal structures.
Removed AI allowing any army strength to attack neighbors in maps of 4 regions or less.
Added AI to clear fields on maps of 4 regions or less, even if their personality doesn't want to.
Added Aggressive AI to no longer deal with beggars by mustering an army on maps of 4 regions or less. Now it builds, which is the default.
Added stables to be built on maps of 4 regions or less without having need for them.

Rising Lords is a medieval turn-based strategy game with card and board game elements. Send your serfs to fight and die in your name... or let them prosper, and use them to your advantage!

Collect taxes and resources. Dictate rations and field work. Forge weapons, reshape the battlefield, raise armies, and build mighty fortified cities. Help your people become knights, or dump them on a battlefield far away, but be careful: even the most humble peasants will revolt eventually…

In addition to its campaign mode, Rising Lords features robust multiplayer functionality. Play a quick game, or settle in for an evening or more. Play mind games with your friends with Rising Lords’ special figures and spread false infos. Let them pay for their insolence in questioning your right to rule!
