- Update HERO Released! - 3 September 2019
Hello everyone, Update HERO has been released and should be live any second. Its comes with new and unexpected gameplay changes including: Self-building structures. You don't have to assign villagers to buildings anymore in order to construct them, you start by placing them on the ground and they'll auto build. Assignment for production buildings such as the lumber, blacksmith, fruit garden, etc. can now be purchased at the cost of 1 free population and 15 gold. They'll start producing the moment the free population gets assigned by clicking on the worker icon. Rework of structure collision. This was a large problem for a number of reasons: Buildings couldn't be placed in close distance and that led to a lot of space issues on almost every map. This has now been dramatically improved: Height and slope calculation for building detection has also been improved. Unit AI has received its la…
