A few more issues had to be fixed before I can dedicate my time more fully to 1.0.1 development. A few improvement snuck into the patch as well. I'll try to stick to fixing game-breaking / critical issues until the next proper Update is ready, but I will probably end up patching a couple of things which are either particularly annoying to players. It's been a hectic few weeks, and the bug fixing + stabilization + tweaking according to popular requests did take longer than expected, so it's cut into some of the time I had expected to use for 1.0.1 development. On the other hand I think these changes are really good, so it was definitely worth the one-to-two weeks it probably cost in relation to the City Update. When I read through the patch notes from 1.0.0.1 to this one, I'm pretty happy at what's been accomplished (a little bit exhausted too, maybe). Thank you so much everyone for your kind and encouraging words, constructive feedback, excellent ideas and detailed bug reports (+ logs/saves!). I am sorry to anyone I have not replied to yet or have only given cursory replies - or even worse, those whose posts I may have overlooked. As things cool down a bit I will try to find time to go through posts from the last few weeks and make sure I have not missed anything.

Wizards and Warlords - Support the Developer & Refreshment Sigils
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.
