Happy New Year! In these first weeks following the Early Access launch, Ive been working hard to improve the game in every aspect. To start, Im focusing on enhancing the games graphics to create a more immersive and detailed medieval atmosphere.
These graphical changes will also have a significant impact on the gameplay, so in the coming months, the game will evolve noticeably to deliver a more complete and engaging experience. Among the improvements are the various buildings:

Hut

Sawmill

Church

More Buildings

Characters

In addition to the buildings, Im also working on the characters. The games graphics will remain low-poly but with more realistic textures, which means the characters wont be fully realistic. However, compared to their current state, the improvement is drastic and much better.

Terrain

The game currently features a hexagonal terrain, but due to the graphical changes, Ive decided to redesign the terrain to better align with the other elements. This change will also enhance the gameplay experience, as everything will feel more seamless and fluid instead of tile-based.

I hope that, with these changes, once implemented and visible in the game, youll enjoy the gaming experience much more than before. Thank you for reading!

Hello! While Im working on a major overhaul of the games graphics, this time Ive only made a small update. Ive implemented a new mechanic: the game will be lost if you run out of units, military forces, and ways to keep building houses. In other words, when you can no longer progress in the game, it will result in defeat. Ive also done a general balancing of the early game levels. Previously, players started with little food, which caused some to lose their villagers without realizing it. Now, you start with a substantial amount of food to help players adapt better to the gameplay. As I mentioned earlier, all the games graphics will take a huge leap in quality with the major update I have planned for January. I also plan to make significant changes to how resources are managed and how the game is controlled, but Ill talk more about that later.

In this patch, I fixed a screen resolution issue in the game where the buttons for the Cities didnt work when a city was selected. Now, when a city is selected, the buttons will function as expected in all resolutions. Another change is related to the UI. Previously, the UI panels were blue, but now they are black. Ill continue improving the UI design in future updates to provide a better experience, but with this change, I hope the game looks a bit more appealing.

In this patch, the game logo in the main menu and options was updated. Additionally, the shape of the menu buttons was changed. Previously, they had a gradient that didnt align well with the panels; now they have a transparent black color with borders.
Its a small update today; I plan to continue making small updates until the big one arrives.

Cities Domination comes with notable changes following the demo launch in October. Now, it is prepared for its official launch on December 13. In this update, I will explain the most important changes for you:

Better graphics

Previously, everything in Cities Domination had fixed colors. I have updated the graphics to make it more realistic, which will immerse you further in the gameplay experience.

Better clarity in buildings

Previously, the games structures included multiple builds, which could be confusing. To address this, I simplified the buildings so there is only one version of each type. Now, it will be clear which is a sawmill, which is a mine, and which is a windmill, as well as all the other buildings.

Single-unit crops.

I also improved the food system. Previously, food was produced directly inside the windmill, but now you can plant crops in multiple locations. Each crop will have a villager assigned to it, based on the number of villagers working at the windmill. This will help you decide how many crops you need to expand your kingdom.

Soldier creation.

This is the most important update and adds a lot of dynamism to the game. Previously, the soldiers created would stay inside buildings, and when attacking an enemy building, it was impossible to know what kind of defense they had. Now, you will need to create each soldier in a free hexagon, and they will detect when an enemy or enemy building is nearby and will attack it. This way, you can create an army and know how many soldiers your enemy has. Battles are in real-time, and you can create strategies to determine when and where to attack.

Improvement in gameplay.

The overall gameplay has improved, and I hope the experience is to your liking. Remember, Cities Domination will be released on December 13. After the launch, more updates with additional content will follow, so I hope you continue playing. Thank you very much for reading, and I look forward to seeing you on December 13 for the launch!
