New world map, shields and weapons

Hello everyone! Pirozhok Studio is here. I'm glad to announce new mechanics for today's update. There are so many of them that I could hardly find where to start.

Gameplay changes:

• First of all, world map was changed. Eastern Kingdom, Islands and naga were removed from the game. World map looks like that now:Nord location's appearance was also changed - now it's a rocky sea shore:
  
• Different difficulty levels were finally implemented.
• Your subjects have learned to construct two new buildings! A school will help your minions to improve their skills in different professions. You'll need a minion with a "Teacher" trait or a master in one of professions to make it work:A market attracts trading caravans from other towns, bringing money to the settlement:
• Meat the mages! You can train mages in a wizard tower. Mages can wear robes and leather armor and use wands as weapons. Low armor is compensated with high damage and high effectiveness against heavy armored units.Mage without a wand:Mage with a fire wand:
• Shields were implemented. Soldiers can use one of three shield types -a round shields, kite shields and tower shields. Every one of them has advantages and disadvantages. Shields can be crafted in the workshop.
• Mercenaries were redesigned. Now you'll be able to hire those cutthroats instead of five similar units. Every one of them has their one weapon and armor types:Before:After:
• You'll be able to find treasure in the mine. Or ruins of an ancient settlements. Explore carefully!
• Two new weapons were added. Military picks effectively puncture heavy armor, and two-handed axes deal terrible damage to unarmored units:
  
• Two new effects were added. Some weapon types provoke bleeding, dealing periodic damage. Weapons of the undead might provoke poisoning, making your units miss with a 40% chance.
• New traits were added:1) Undead slayer - your unit deals 25% more damage to the undead
  2) Nords slayer - your unit deals 25% more damage to the nords
  3) Fear of undead - your unit deals 25% less damage to the undead
  4) Fear of nords - your unit deals 25% less damage to the nords

Control changes:

• Hero and soldiers can descend into the mine now.
• Workshop interface was noticeably changed. Items were divided into three types - "weapons", "armor" and "miscellaneous":
• Soldiers Control panel was also changed - now they have personal traits:
• Behaviour mode or attack move for all chosen units were implemented.
• Pressing Shift you'll move to a free minion now.
• Pressing Tab one chooses hero, pressing it twice will move the camera to him.

Graphic changes:

• Banners were redesigned:
• Loading screens were redesigned:
• Helmets were redesigned too. Ancient helmets might be dropped from the skeletons. They are slightly better that the leather ones, but are quite bulky to use, slowing your minions down:
• Names and appearance of the minions were redesigned:
• Iron armor and weapons were redesigned too.
