This update went out yesterday, but there wasn't time to get this written up. No new content (should be coming next update) but lots of little improvements. We're also beginning work on Multiplayer improvements to add more options and rules for Multiplayer games.

Audio

Big chunk of new audio has gone in. Here is a short list:

Siege Equipment Movement
Ballista Firing
Catapult Firing
Ram ...er Ramming
Cavalry Movement (old one was so bad, happy about this)

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Audio as it goes in.

Deployment Camera

On missions with multiple deployments, the camera would move to the average between the points when selecting a unit. This was...confusing. Now it selects the first deploy area, and you can press Tab to cycle between them. Additionally, it no longer resets the camera every time you select a unit to deploy.

Keybindings and Unit Actions

We've put in keybindings for ability actions, and display them on a slightly re-worked action panel (the bar on the right) for the selected unit. You can see the keybinding set on the abilities, and the cost has been moved to a little frame on the side.

Improved Tooltips

We've done a visual pass on the tooltips to make them more readable. They now also display information about a building a unit occupies beneath it. Previously this was not viewable without a unit moving away. Next up will be exposing more information to the tooltips.

Unit Type Icon

This was a commonly requested feature. The unit type is now displayed with an icon above the unit, including the quality of the unit. This is mirrored by the deployment symbols.

Graphics Options

We've added more graphics customisation options based on what we can expose from the engine. Additionally we've added a graphics preset option, as you'd expect from most games.

Changes

Additional new audio
Exposed more graphics options (Shadows, Antialiasing, Anisotropic, Texture Quality)
Added Graphics Preset options
Added Keybindings to Unit Actions
Reworked Deployment Camera centering
Added cycling deployment areas
Updated visuals of tooltips icons/formatting
Builds now display on tooltips when occupied
Fixed audio delay on wood impacts (attacking wood buildings)
Removed annoying twang sound for menu clicks, using less annoying placeholder for now
Fixed wooden walls sometimes being walkable
Fixed wooden walls in non-summer seasons
Fixed AI on fog of war levels, where they could ignore it when they shouldn't
Removed rogue wall appearing in Mission 1-2
Added unit icon for Axe units

Warring States Tactics is a turn-based battle strategy game set during the Warring States period of Ancient China. The Warring States period is one of turmoil in China, where various feudal states struggle for control of all of China. Lead the forces of Qin through numerous historically-based missions as they challenge the other states for supremacy.

The story is told between missions as dialogue cutscenes using beautifully drawn character portaits; as well as in game dialogue relevant to the battle at hand.

Also included is a fully composed soundtrack, which really helps bring the feeling of Ancient China to the game's atmosphere.
