Did another 8 updates for Warlordocracy. Added new options for Party AI and auto-pause, improved touchscreen mode and persuasion minigame, and added lots of new dialogue. Also, you can now renew henchmen contracts for half price when you talk to them, giving you incentive to keep your men alive. And of course, lots of bug fixes (thanks mostly to Mean & Evil this time).
Meanwhile, the Chinese translation of Brigand is basically done and you can play it in the test branch (game properties in Steam --> Betas --> "test" in drop-down box). Make sure you have the EXTRAS DLC installed. Just waiting for some final touch-ups.
