Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update on our development progress. In our next free content update were adding a bunch of new stuff with a bit of a spooky theme (since we're approaching Halloween). Here's a little preview of just a few of the new additions:
We'll put out the full notes on how the cemetery and witch hut game mechanics will work when update launches. While these happen to be Halloween themed, they'll all be permanent additions to the game. And of course there's a whole bunch more included in this upcoming update as well. Look for this update to hit the beta branch in the next week or so.
Rival Kingdoms Progress:
Currently were working on the part of the AI that will build its own cities. This is still very work-in-progress, so there's not much to show right now. More news on this as we get farther along. Email us at contact@lionshieldstudios.com or chat with us on discord with any questions! -Pete & Michael

Kingdoms and Castles - Decorations Pack
Your kingdom must survive a living and dangerous world. Do the viking raiders make off with your villagers? Or are they stopped, full of arrows, at the castle gates? Does a dragon torch your granary, your people dying of starvation in the winter, or are you able to turn the beast back? The success of your kingdom depends solely on your skill as a city and castle planner.
Strategically layout your town to improve your peasants' happiness and to attract new residents. Tax them just enough to fund your castle. Make sure your peasants are fed in the winter and healed of plagues. Build churches to keep them from despair and taverns to keep them happy. You can even throw festivals if you've built a town square! Send out wood cutters to collect wood, set up stone quarries to build your castes, and farm the land efficiently so your town can grow and thrive.
The new land you're settling is at risk of viking invasion. These raiders seek to kidnap and kill your peasants, steal your resources, and burn your town to the ground. Use a powerful castle building system where castles are constructed using blocks which can be placed anywhere. Towers and walls are dynamically created based on how you stack and arrange them. Archer towers and other weapon emplacements have longer range the higher their tower. Try different layouts to best protect your kingdom and express your glory as a king or queen.
And it all takes place in a beautiful dynamic world with a stylized procedural cloud system and season cycle from summer to winter. A realistic tree growth algorithm simulates the forests. Depending on your needs, wood cutters can clear cut or responsibly manage your forests.
