Warbell v0.13.0

A rival rises in the desert, kills hit harder, and the loot economy tightens up.

New

  • Rival AI stronghold. A Stronghold-Crusader-style human opponent now holds a walled fort out in the desert — towers, curtain walls, the works. It runs its own tax economy and raises new buildings over time, a human garrison patrols and skirmishes, and its walls go up as it grows. It survives save/load, so your rival keeps building between sessions.
  • A bigger island. The map is enlarged — more ground between the biomes, and the rival's plateau flattened to seat the fort.

Combat & feel

  • Reworked hit feedback. Landing a blow now reads by weight: a punchy impact flash (instead of the old faint blink), a weighty flinch on armoured orks (wildlife keeps its springy reaction), and crits/heavies stagger the enemy — interrupting its swing — with extra contact sparks.
  • Kills land harder. A slain enemy topples and lurches the way you struck it; a heavy blow throws the body further.
  • The shield holds the line. Orks and animals no longer clip through the knight or his shield, and raising your shield pushes a head-on attacker back off it.

Balance

  • Chests no longer shower gear. Opening a chest pays out gold and provisions (plus a basic starter sword/jerkin for a fresh hero) — but real weapons and armour are earned only at the biome landmark trials, so a lucky chest can't skip the gear ladder. Hunt kills likewise stop dropping random gear.

Fixed

  • No more invisible wall where an enemy just died — a fresh corpse stops blocking you the instant it falls.
  • Loading a save no longer leaves last run's wall / tower / house / decoration collision lingering as invisible barriers where the meshes are hidden.

Atmosphere

  • A touch more fog and a stronger background depth-of-field blur for a moodier frame.
