Warbell v0.14.0
Warbell v0.14.0
A prettier, more alive world — plus a friendlier on-ramp for new defenders and a round of fixes.
New
- Daytime butterflies. Little flocks of butterflies flutter over the grass and forest in
daylight, settling the world with a bit of life. Pure atmosphere — they sleep at night. - Richer grassland. The ground now reads as a living meadow of mottled greens — worn dirt
scuffs, damp moss hollows, sun-dried golden sweeps, lush deep-green patches — instead of one flat
tone. - Real god rays. Crepuscular shafts now fan out from the sun in soft warm beams that reach
across the sky, instead of a flat sun-glow that died right at the light. - Exotic rival garrison. The desert rival's soldiers wear a Saracen war-look — warm-bronze
spiked turban-helm and a dark face veil — so the foreign host reads distinct from your own
militia. - Smoother menu. The start screen now uses a pre-rendered backdrop instead of a live orbiting
3D scene — cleaner, lighter, no churn.
Combat & balance
- Friendlier Easy mode. A beginner's knight now hits ~30% harder in melee and carries a much
deeper health pool, on top of the existing softer waves and tougher keep. - Tighter dodge. Sand Dash no longer overshoots — the blink distance is halved, so you evade a
swing and stay in the fight instead of getting flung out of the melee. - Leaner night waves. Swarm sizes trimmed across the siege so the later nights are less of a
grind of attrition. - Faster town growth. The escalating House cost ramps up a bit more gently, so your village
snowballs sooner. - Hardier militia. Your guards toughen as the siege wears on — gaining health for each night
already survived — so the steep nightly damage ramp doesn't shred them quite so fast. - Roomier landmark trials. The "Hold the Rune" arena is wider, giving the knight space to swing
and making the glowing ring read as a real arena to defend.
Fixed
- Rune-Trial guardians no longer spawn out in the water at landmarks beside a river, lake, or coast
— they now always land on dry ground. - No more phantom bridge laid across the dry sand beside the rival fort.
- Rival workers stationed inside the bailey now actually work in place instead of standing idle by
their building. - Townsfolk stop blurting their sarcastic "ow!" when you accidentally clip them mid-battle — they
only quip for a deliberate poke. - Trees crowding a biome landmark are cleared away, so each set-piece reads from afar and its trial
arena has open ground. - The spend/equip toast no longer overlaps the special-ability bar in the corner.
- Ork-camp and Gnashfang Hold tents are toned down — a faint tooth on the hide, not a heavy
patchwork against the rest of the game. - A daytime rival raid now raises an on-screen "under attack" warning (the old alert was
night-siege only), and a couple of rival raid notices that slipped through untranslated now read
in English.
Under the hood
- A razed rival fort now stays destroyed across save and load.
