Greetings, Dearest Goblins!🍻
Get ready to experience a royal upgrade! This update brings an exciting new dynamic to your goblin village with the introduction of the Weaver and Tailor buildings. Now, your weavers will craft the finest cloth while the tailors turn it into stylish clothes fit for any goblin. We've also added a new resource, Armor, to bolster your war units' defense. Plus, with building placement restrictions removed, you can now design your village layout more freely than ever before. Enjoy the revamped visuals of the Trade Hall courtyard and watch your goblin civilization flourish in new ways!
But that's not all! We have fine-tuned several aspects of gameplay for a smoother experience. Warm Clothes now better protect against the cold, and sickness mechanics have been consolidated for a more streamlined approach. Expect the Traveling Merchant every spring and enjoy the improved UI with new confirmation prompts and a handy toggle for tutorials. Notable bug fixes include smoother goblin mining animations and better FPS performance. Dive into "The King's New Clothes" update and discover all the delightful changes waiting for you in Goblins of Elderstone!
