Hello everyone!
This update brings new campaign mechanics and brings several improvements to overall gameplay.
You can now host tournaments to improve relations with feudal factions. You can do this by clicking on a owned settlement and pressing the new host tournament button. This will present the host interface which let's you decide how the tournament will be held.
Siege gameplay has also been extended. It is now possible to relieve besieged allied or owned sectors. This triggers a field battle outside the castle, where you fight the besieger directly and attempt to break the siege. Relieving allied settlements will improve your relation with them and they will refer to it in their dialogue.
On the systems side, AI faction behavior has been improved, especially around elite unit production and overall army effectiveness. Campaign customization has also been expanded with more control over unit restrictions, sector connections and combat behavior.
This update also starts with weapon range adjustments, I have heard all your feedback. Unfortunately it's not a single fix as every tweak requires checking the AI and overall battle balance. But I will be improving this over time over the next few updates.
Alongside these changes, this update includes a large set of new armor pieces, quality of life improvements and stability fixes.
Happy easter everyone!
As always, thank you for all the support!
