This is a major behind-the-scenes update, it includes:
- New Spanish and Russian translations (incomplete, head to https://weblate.lemuria.org/engage/black-forest/ to contribute!)
- Visual refresh, giving the 3D scene more clarity and a hint of a stylized look
- Added ivy to a number of buildings for more visual variance and interest.
- Added sound effects to bear, orc, tree
- Gave the stone gate collision detection more tolerance so it's easier to find a spot across the path where it's possible to build it.
- Fixed the "hire mercenaries" part in the Children's Tales story.
- Fixed: Maypole should now be properly removed when loading a game in the tutorial story.
- Started to add Spanish and Russian translation - still incomplete. Head to https://weblate.lemuria.org/projects/black-forest/ if you want to help with translations.
- Added some debug output to trace an elusive bug that apparently only occurs on some platforms.
- Updated a few libraries.
- Updated building shader (slightly improved visual clarity and less memory consumption)
- Added "dissolve-in" effect when selecting a building to construct
- and finally: Big engine update, to the latest Unity 6. This should solve some issues while also bringing better performance
