Your Majesty,
this is the biggest update DadiKingdom has ever had. How you run your kingdom has been rebuilt, you can play all of it from the couch with a controller, and on top of that comes the big main quest that takes you from the Bastion all the way to the arena.
🏛️ Treasury Rebuilt
All four pages (Status, Attributes, Treasury, Military) are new: clear numbers, running counters for taxes, church tithe and magic herbs, and an explanation for every entry. The approval of people, church and mages now truly reacts to your decisions: taxes cost you standing with the people, a day without collecting brings it back, pay church and mages on time and you gain, keep them waiting and you lose a little every day. You can only spend what the treasury covers, and points you assign to attributes but do not confirm are no longer lost when closing the menu.
📊 Day Summary
At the end of every day you see what happened: gold earned and spent by entry, skill points gained, and every kingdom value as before and after. The new day only begins when you press Continue.
🐉 Dragon Adventure, Newly Framed
A new window at the dragon stables shows cost, treasury balance and coverage, the sign at the stable shows level and price. Your returning dragon's message has a new frame, the story stays the same.
🪧 One Style for Interaction Signs
All interaction signs in the game, on doors, merchants, stables and herbs, now share one style.
🎮 Rule with a Controller
DadiKingdom is now fully playable with a gamepad, with a layout you know from the big role-playing games: A to jump, B to dodge, X for potions, Y to interact, RT to attack, RB heavy attack, LT to block or aim, LB secondary ability, click the sticks to sprint and lock on, D-pad for weapon type and items, Start for the menu, View for the inventory. In vendor windows, the throne room and every other window the left stick moves a pointer and A clicks. In the options menu every action can be rebound separately for keyboard and controller, and PlayStation controllers work through Steam's controller support. New on top of that: the treasury, day summary and dragon window are now also fully playable with the pad, D-pad and stick move the focus, A confirms, B closes, the shoulder buttons switch tabs.
🌍 Everything in 13 Languages
The complete main quest, the new treasury, all new conversations and the names of the new characters are there in all thirteen languages, name plates in local script included. Several hundred more missing translations were added, including the king's fish shop, herbs, items and the throne room prompt in French, and the names and roles of the townsfolk.
📜 The Main Quest: 35 New Quests
An empty tax cart from Veldhein, a prisoner who only whispers, and a sign under an altar in the Mist Forest. From there the story leads you across the whole kingdom: to the village elder of Veldhein, the gravedigger in the mist, to Fernlande, to the master smith in Rakum, into the bandit camp, the penal camp, to the pirates in the sand, to Thyrn, the oasis, the hall of the Lord of Ash, and finally into the arena, where the people want to see what their King can do. Every transition has its own little quest, so you always know where to go next.
⚔️ One Choice for Your Whole Reign
Do you bring the sign to the church or to the mages? The church teaches you the bow, the mages the fire, and the other art you will never learn in this life. A camera sequence shows you both sides before you decide. Bow and arrows or the fireball come to you as a gift, equip them and prove yourself against a practice opponent. The slots for spells and bow appear the moment you receive them.
🍺 A Beer at the Innkeeper
New on tap: for 250 gold the innkeeper pours a beer that fully restores health and mana.
❄️ Winter in Fernlande
When it snows, the snow lies on fences, carts, pumpkins, tents, wells and roofs. Inside the church it stays dry.
🏃 Auto-Run
Long way ahead? Press Num Lock while running. The King keeps going on his own until you steer again.
⏭️ Skip the Throne Room
If you know the daily procession by heart, hold the space bar and jump straight to the first case.
