Female characters! You can now play as female ruler and rivals can be female too (chosen randomly). This was more difficult that anticipated, since I had to go though all game text (in all languages) and replace all male-specific texts. Units still say "Yes, my lord", but I think I'll leave it as is. Originally I planned to make chancellors able to be female too, but then I realized they have male voice (my heavily processed voice), so this'll have to wait.
Minor things:
- Tons of typos fixed in German translation.
- Mega buildings no longer provide their effects before they finished.
- Pressing "Q" while in Spells menu closes it.
- Archers now attack enemies properly even if there's no path.
- Workshops effectiveness parameters apparently weren't being saved properly.
Thank you for your support!
Hearthlands is a medieval/fantasy city-building real time strategy game in which you take a role of a king in a procedurally generated world. You can not control your subjects directly; instead you focus on city-building, resource management, diplomacy, heroes, magic and other things a
typical king deals with on a daily basis.
The game is very flexible: you can build up a powerful realm and rule the lands with an iron grip, or establish a humble fishermen's village. Or create a trading empire. Or found a small, bur well-defended outpost or raider's camp. Or become a host of a wizard's manor.
All characters, from a hauler to a hero have their own minds and behavior patterns. Sometimes it is interesting just to watch people scurry about minding their own business.
