Warbell v0.15.0 — the island gets a facelift

A big visual pass. The world is rounder, greener, better-connected, and the landmarks
finally look like the set-pieces they're meant to be. No new systems to learn — the same
game, much nicer to walk through.

Forest with the new dirt road Swamp with a meandering river and bridge
Ashland dusk Snow biome

New

  • A road network across the whole island. Natural, curving dirt paths now link the
    castle to every biome, every landmark, the ork fortress gate, and the rival keep, with
    short spurs out to nearby cages. Nothing grows on a path, and you move a touch faster
    travelling along one — so the roads actually read as roads, not hints.
  • Rivers that meander. Watercourses now wind and pinch like real rivers instead of
    running as ruled canals, and their banks are cut with a smooth curve instead of a
    blocky tile-grid staircase. Bridges sit on the crossings.
  • Smooth, rolling terrain. The ground is one continuous heightfield now — gentle
    slopes and knolls instead of the old Minecraft-style stepped terraces.
  • Rebuilt landmarks. The biome set-pieces were redone in a crisp faceted style:
    crag-pillar rock spires, solid stepped ziggurat tiers, a shard-cluster ice spire,
    sandstone arches — each a proper destination worth the road out to it.
  • Reworked trees (taller clustered broadleaves, slender drooping spruce) and a
    livelier ground: baked-in forest-floor debris, fake-3D cavity shading, drifting cover
    density, and grass species that vary patch to patch.
  • Wetter swamp with standing pools, plus new meadow ambience and rival-garrison
    voice lines.

Fixed

  • The ork-fortress courtyard kept its trampled-earth texture — the new trunk road no
    longer paves straight through the walls.
  • Hunting wildlife no longer drops gear.
  • Ground cover and flowers no longer poke through landmark set-pieces.
  • Tidier peasant and rival-soldier models (tools only, cleaner torsos, a sandy desert
    guard); subtler, fewer butterflies.
