I have updated the maps pages of the site. There are now two new interactive web maps to play with.

Version 2.1.0 Build (57)
It’s been a very long time since the last release. So I am happy that the next release will include a bounty of changes. There are some new game rules. Some bug fixes. Numerous cosmetic updates. Some new UI additions.
There has also been a lot of work under the hood making way for AppleTV and The Citadel. The games also now run in a desktop web browser. This also allows for quick releases to check issues out before building the final store released.
Currently available to test at The Lords of Midnight (WEB) and Doomdark’s Revenge (WEB) full release to follow.
Game Options
- ADDED: LOM – ‘Replenish Things’ and ‘Random Replenish’, things removed from the map respawn after a number of days dependent on difficulty. This is either happens based on game design or completely randomly depending on the game rule.
- FIXED: DDR – Circular liege when a lord recruits their own liege
- ADDED: DDR – ‘Fix Circular Liege’, on by default and enabled for existing games. Fixes a problem were lieges could be recruited by their old subjects. Full discussion here…
- ADDED: DDR – ‘Safe Lord Death Rules’, a lord can’t die while they still have an army. This is similar to how LoM works. This is a game option to avoid compromising the original gameplay.
- ADDED: DDR – ‘Hide Lords In Tunnels’, armies following a lord who is in a tunnel now search the ground within 3 squares of them, on by default. With this turned off and in original mode, the armies would sit on the location directly above the lord.
Action Menu
- ADDED: Help icon on the actions menu. A method of re-reading all help popups from the action menu.
Think Screen
- ADDED: DESKTOP – Arrows on the screen pager
- ADDED: LOM – The think pages show ‘He thinks again….’ with keyboard shortcut
- ADDED: DDR – The think pages show ‘More?’ with keyboard shortcut
- CHANGED: LOM – The think pages show ‘To the [direction],’ for what lies ahead, as the original
Misc Changes
- FIXED: LOM – Seeking no longer removes wild horses from the map on default and easy difficulty
- CHANGED: Corrected night colour text
- CHANGED: Dedication screen is no longer shown every time
- CHANGED: Upgraded to latest Axmol, targeting Android 36 and latest iOS/OSX
- FIXED: HTTP urls updated to HTTPS
- CHANGED: IOS/OSX – Added new support for document sharing
- ADDED: TVOS – Apple TV build of LOM and DDR. Game is almost ready to run on AppleTV. This also includes changes for using a DPAD on other devices.
- CHANGED: Updated Windows Installer
Map Changes
- ADDED: Map pinch and zoom. Should be pretty clear. Desktop you hold the shift key down while moving the mouse.
- ADDED: Map extends beyond the edge UI elements. This fixes lords at the edge of the map getting stuck under UI elements.
- ADDED: Filters fade the map layers and lords, and filter buttons with nothing to show or hide are hidden
- CHANGED: The background behind a many lords icon fades out at the edges
- CHANGED: Touching anywhere outside the many lords dialog dismisses it, fading it out
- CHANGED: Tidied up the discovery map mechanics
- FIXED: Crash going to the map straight from a new game from a gesture on panel_look
- FIXED: Crash going to the map from the actions menu in a game saved before the map was remembered
- ADDED: Memories feature. Armies locations are remembered, but they fade over time.
Select Screen
- FIXED: Leaving or disbanding a group now returns to the standard think screen
- ADDED: Lords rotate around the group circle when using the group left/right arrows
- ADDED: Lords animate from the group dialog to their place on the select screen when a group is disbanded
- ADDED: Lords animate to their new positions when using the tidy up button on the select screen
- ADDED: Lords fade in and out when the select screen filters are changed
- CHANGED: Filter buttons are hidden when pressing them would not change which lords are shown
- CHANGED: Tidy up places a group on a block of four squares so it never overlaps other lords
- CHANGED: Lords move aside, animated and as little as possible, when a group needs room or is over the edge of the screen
- ADDED: DDR – Lords in a tunnel show a tunnel icon with their status icons
- ADDED: DDR – Select screen – Tunnel filter button, as on the map
You may try, Morkin, if you wish.
Quick post to show off something that just happened – this is Lords of Midnight running in a web browser. Yes! exactly the same game that is running on iOS, Android, OSX, and Windows. It currently only runs on desktop browsers because of a lot of in game decisions that are actually made at build time. it might change that, I’m not sure. But for now I am thinking about using it as a quick preview location so that people can play new builds as soon as I build them.
Lords of Midnight, Doomdark’s Revenge, and The Citadel are all supported. But I will just roll out LoM for a while.
