The 1.1.0-Beta3 is finally ready in the Beta branch! Should there no issues I'll ship the full 1.1.0. Once again firmly recommend starting a new game for this patch if you're upgrading from 1.0.28 in case there are any issues and because the economy balance has been significantly changed.

New Game Mode - Strat Zero

This patch introduces the Strategy Zero game mode. Its a cross between Turf Zero and Strategy. You start on a blank map with 16 players and they build up the city. But watch out, they will start wars!

Goons now Follow You + Improved Goons

If you speak to a goon in a base you can issue them orders. You can order them to: - Follow you - Guard a location - Advance to your marked waypoint on the map - Return to their home base You can have at most 4 dudes following you or having orders issued (goons with guard orders count!). Goons will follow you into and out of vehicles. If you are more than 80m away from your goons they will warp back to you so they don't get lost/stuck. This also gives you a useful way to fight Turf Wars. Have multiple bases, garrison your front line bases and garrison you back line bases. Have the goons from the back line follow you and you can attack the enemy bases with them. Additionally goons can wear hats! Your goons now wear coloured hats that match your colour, as do the goons of other factions, so you can easily see who's on what side. Some CDF officers also wear hats too! Goons are recruited from bases. You have to garrison the base to recruit them. If you degarrison the base the goons will despawn! Finally all mobs now heal at a rate of 0.5%/sec, so your followers should be healed between engagements.

Auto Repair

The city now auto-repairs over time. For a standard sized city this there is ~1% chance/min of a lot auto-repairing. Auto-repairing is free and it doesn't matter who owns or racketeers the lot. Only roads and economic buildings auto-repair and lots do not auto-repair if there are players nearby.

Repairing Lots With Chests No Longer Wipes the Contents

^ That.

Improved Minimap

Allied goons appear on the minimap as smaller triangles. The CDF also appear on the minimap, as red rectangles or red triangles. You can only see foot CDF if you are less than 40m away from them. If you have notoriety the CDF flash red and blue

Improved Base Raiding

I've added a simple timer to Bases and Bandit Bases. When you kill a bandit or a base defender the base will not respawn a new one for a few seconds (5 on normal, 8 on easy, 2 on hard). This prevents insta-respawns that snag newer players.

Revamped Peace + New Peace Demands

The game now has a warscore system. There is also a small check box telling you if the AI is likely to accept or reject your peace deal and give you a reasoned breakdown why. There are 2 new peace options: demand reparations and demand humiliation. Reparations give make the other side pay 10% of their income (before expenses) every hour while the truce is in effect. Humiliation makes the other side lose 20 reputation each. If they have positive reputation then you'll get half of the amount that they lose (so if a side has 10 reputation you'll get 5 and they'll be set to -10 rep). This gives you the ability to demand stuff from factions, weaken them and strengthen yourself without taking bases and gaining aggression.
Once a war ends the players/factions will have a 32 minute truce, preventing further declarations of war between them. Players/factions cannot join an offensive war with someone they have a truce with.
