Little update today mainly focusing on the randomly generated buildings, I've added lots of new tilesets so you'll find many different kinds of buildings, I've also added two new buildings, the best being the void gate, a building only found in the kingdoms of void races, very rare and ridiculously powerful!

* Fixed kingdom renaming bug
* Added 57 new tilesets
* Added 15 million new ogre faces
* Added 15 new roof tiles
* Added Cave Houses (basically hovels attached to caves)
* Added Void Gate Building (very rare and very powerful)

Awesome game Huw, I've played through a few iterations and I really enjoy it.

However - and this is quite a big however as I know it's a console based game -  it's sort of getting too complex to manage just via console, or rather it's difficult to keep track of everything without some sort of display that constantly shows stuff like number of troops, treasury, incoming amounts, diplomacy and all the rest.

Even if it was just another console window that constantly showed all your kingdom stats/buildings/troops and all the rest it'd be very, very useful.

My worry is that as it grows bigger it'll eventually hit a sort of cliff, where the fun starts dropping off as it becomes too complex/tedious to manage everything. It's not there yet, but it might be soon.

Thanks for the comment retropunch, that's certainly something I'll try my best to avoid! I'm hoping I can keep the complexity more under the hood, so that the game has tons of depth without having to confuse the shit out of everyone

I think complexity is good!! It's definitely what I want out of this sort of game, and hiding stuff under the hood can sometimes make the player not feel quite so in control. More than that, it's less about complexity and more about remembering how much/what stuff you have.

As I say, the best way to do this would be to have a separate window/console constantly showing your kingdoms resources/buildings/armies. I imagine you're a pretty nifty coder, but if you've not attempted doing this before in C++ I'd have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20847474/multiple-consoles-for-a-single-application-c

By under the hood stuff I mean things like independent kings having personalities that effect their responses to various diplomatic actions, basically the game having lots of depth that on the surface you may not notice, things like the randomly generated speeches your staff give, the different kinds of jokes the jesters can tell, things that add replayability to the game.

Cheers for the link though, gonna check it out

Ahh awesome, yeah I think all those things will be great.

I honestly believe that splitting it onto multiple consoles will really, really improve playability. It'd allow the player to make more strategic decisions as they'd have the their empire's resources, troops and stuff right in front of them.

For instance, on the buying and selling troops page - I can't see how many of each type I actually have. Sure, you could put it on that page (and I'd recommend it as a quick fix) but it'd be better to see it constantly to one side.

Anyway, really awesome game - can't wait to see more!

Hello. How do I go to the next year?

[Huw2k8]

Everytime you exit from the kingdom screen you end the turn and it progresses to the next year

[Asin]

Thank you.

You could change the arena betting system to a saltybet style system.
Instead of getting 2x of what you bet if you win, the payouts are made proportionally, based on the amount of betted on your soldier.
