Black powder
Hand cannon shots leave a smoke cloud for a few seconds. It blocks line of sight both ways.
Firing up close makes your ears ring and muffles other sound for 4-10 s. You can turn it off under Settings > Sound > Ringing ears.
Shorter, sharper camera shake and flinch on a shot.
New hand cannon shot and tail sounds.
Muzzle-loaders have a 3% chance to burst. A burst does burn and hand damage, sometimes takes off an arm or kills, and throws shrapnel.
Healing
New item: Surgeon’s Kit. It stitches cuts, splints broken limbs and treats head knocks.
Stitched wounds bleed about 90% less and heal faster. Disembowelment can’t be stitched.
Bandages and the kit go on the player you’re facing, or on yourself if nobody is there.
Drinking takes 1.4 s. Getting hit, attacking, rolling, sprinting or guarding interrupts it, and you only get the effect of what you drank.
In the arena you get 1 healing tincture and 1 Surgeon’s Kit per life. Not in ranked.
Peasant siege
Attackers come in squads of one type: peasants (6-10), militia (5-8), men-at-arms (4-6), bowmen (3-5).
Squads march in formation, stop at barred gates, and only break off to attack defenders who are close.
All attackers use the full combat AI, stamina included.
Better performance when gates and fences take a lot of hits.
Riding
New default horse controls: left/right turn, forward goes, back stops. The old screen-relative and mouse controls are still in the settings.
World
Flies gather over corpses. There are more the longer a body lies there, one swarm covers a pile of bodies, and there are hardly any on cold nights.
Moonlit nights are brighter, depending on the moon phase and cloud cover.
Other
Dropdown menus in the settings work with keyboard and controller.
Volume sliders play a sound at the new level as you move them.
Protocol version 16. You need to update to play online.
