▶

A somewhat small update, as several in-development tasks are not complete yet. I expect an incremental patch will follow relatively soon with some other odds and ends. And hopefully the meatier tasks will be ready for the next update in a week or two.

Added an Introduction window when starting a new game. It explains some core game mechanics and information on the randomly generated game world (deities, cultures).
Expanded scouting mechanics to also cover site garrisons/defenders. A tooltip with details can be seen by hovering over the highlighted "Garrison: Yes" text in the context panel.
Added unique attrition/desertion mechanics for defeated/conquered minor factions. Their armies will begin dispersing if they fail to retake a city or fortress within a few turns, with some units being lost and others becoming mercenaries. The courage/discipline attributes determine the rate of desertion and chance of becoming mercenaries.
Expanded world generation to have a wider variety of deity/cosmos templates, including elemental-based pantheons and two/three competing deities/pantheons.
Improved deity/mythos/cosmos generation engine in several different ways, including naming, grouping, consistent theming of deities, tweaking domain allocations to have better coverage, reducing illogical overlap, and more.
Added a few more exotic polearms to the random culture-unit generator.
New units: lesser/normal/greater acid elementals.
New units: lesser/normal/greater magma elementals.
New units: lesser/normal/greater mercury elementals.
New units: lesser/normal/greater lightning elementals.
New units: Magmagors, monster bull/serpent hybrids with high armor and fire damage.
Tweaked the required research time for the core elemental unit types and a few other unit types.
Fixed a crash bug related to planar portals.
Fixed a bug relating to exploration tasks not being cancelled correctly when no longer valid.
Fixed a bug relating to resolution of tribal events/actions involving non-clan characters.
Fixed some missing faction flags not appearing correctly in the battle window.
Fixed the character AI wanting to explore already-cleared dungeons
Performance optimization of misc. battle calculations.

Wizards and Warlords - Support the Developer & Refreshment Sigils

Please note that the game is currently in Early Access. Please familiarize yourself with the current state of development, and make sure it matches your expectations, before making a purchase. The description below relates to the design vision for the completed game, and game play described may not yet be implemented, may change in nature or even be completely reworked or removed, during the course of Early Access.

Wizards and Warlords is a turn-based strategy game, where you play as a wizard or a warlord in a fully-realized randomly generated fantasy world. Create a customized sovereign or choose from one of many predefined templates.

Blending grand strategy with aspects of the 4X genre, the game offers a plethora of customizable settings and victory conditions. It is up to you if you want to fight great wars, crushing powerful rivals in the pursuit of world conquest - the challenge of survival in a grim and dangerous world, perhaps even beset by planar invaders and ancient evils - or perhaps, a balanced game, where you control but one of many realms in the world, immersing yourself in an emergent story driven by random events and the interactions of AI personalities.

Manage your cities and fortresses, increase your power through research and industry, design your own regiments or arcane constructs, recruit armies and heroes, explore and exploit dungeons, ruins, and even alternate planes, experience random events and event chains - this game aims to deliver a depth of gameplay and mechanics beyond what is found in mainstream games.

This depth is combined with comprehensive modding support, which allows the creation of custom scenarios, with user-created maps, cultures, races, dungeons, pantheons, ancient evils, nations and organizations. The editor allows you to create everything from scratch or work from a randomly generated starting point.
