Happy Summer!
We've been playing with audio, AI and looking for bugs as we play.
When this game was originally developed, the tools available to us were so primitive. It's really pretty shocking how far things have advanced in such a short period of time.
I can now tell you exactly where every byte of memory goes and what it is doing.
There is also some balance changes coming in. For one thing, your sovereigns will no longer start with colleagues. Instead, your sovereign will have more HP and faster combat speed but will be alone. We think this makes the start of the game more compelling and interesting.
Our biggest focus for 2.51, however, is making the late, late, late game perform better. This takes a lot of playing the game but, we are heroes and so we make the sacrifice to play the game again...and again...and again! It's all for you!
