UPDATE 0.715

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Today is Friday and bug fixes are here! First of, a BIG thanks to all the players for participation in bug-reporting! You're doing a really great job here - with each report (and a fix as result of this report) the game will get better, smoother and more enjoyable - that's what we all want, right?:) So be free to use bug reporting button - f11! Now to the fixes:

1. The first important fix is the fix for 16Gb RAM systems - I know that many of you with 16Gb RAM had crashes and memory leak issues. I really hope, that we've finally made it and this annoying issue is fixed. Important!!! Please, if you have 16Gb RAM and had crashes - leave your feedback about new 0.715 version of Kingdoms. If crashes will be still there, please leave a Bug report in game community with full PC specs - this will help other players in perspective.
2. Bears and wolves attack fix. Because of glitched animation transition animals attacked with crazy speed, causing endless problems fighting them. Now it's fixed - wolf can't kill you in 1 second literally anymore. Also, I've tweaked some pathfinding issue during the combat, i.e. bear and wolf were too close to the player when attacking, creating a mess + overall pathfinding is more accurate. The rest of the fixes follow:

CHANGES

• New death animations for AI were added;

• Global reputation parameter was added to inventory window;

ROADMAP FULL LIST OF UPDATES PATREON

**IMPORTANT

1. Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot.
2. If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3. The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
4. You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page. Thanks for your support, see you very soon! Cyfieithydd**
