Patch Notes

Update 1.42: Brick Road Upgrade, and UI additions

Hi Everyone,

Im a day late on this patch, but I wanted to get more done than I had at the end of yesterday… Anyways there are some UI elements that go over buildings now. I hope they help you guys to gather more information about your city at a glance. If there are more things that you guys want to see in this fashion please let me know, and I will think on it :)

Past that there is a road upgrade, that is pretty expensive, but it can help to stream line you city a bit. And also now clicking on a building a 2nd time will try to select a building or road behind it. This will help as I have not yet gotten around to rotating the screen.


Patch Notes:

- New Upgrade: Brick roads, This upgrade costs 2 brick, and 20 denarii. The upgrade will increase travel speed by 10% over dirt roads.
- Added icons over buildings when employees are needed.
- Added icons over buildings if it needs a resource, in order to produce another.
- An icon has been added to unit portraits to show when they are resting.
- Slightly reduced the amount of food people eat, This should make it slightly easier to deal with starving.
- Added German and French text for the new buildings (thanks for the help!).
- Resized a bit of text.
- Clicking a 2nd time on a building will attempt to select buildings (or roads) behind them. So if a road goes behind a granary, the first click will select the granary, but clicking again where the road is, will select the road behind it. I know this is not a perfect solution, but it does allow you to selected all the roads to upgrade ;)
- The Roman empire had a food stipend for the poor. To emulate this Unemployed people will now receive a 3 denarii wage in order for them to buy food. This should help reduce the number of starving people in well planned cities with a few unemployed people.
- Fixed a bug where some people who were unemployed were not acting as they should
- save files should be a bit smaller now.

Also,

I put in an order for more sounds, and I am hoping to have those in the next 2-3 weeks. As well as more art (then again that has been pretty constant).

Lastly,

If you are enjoying the game (or at least like the direction it is going), please put a review up for the game as it really helps me out. Positive reviews causes steams algorithm to send more traffic to the game, which in turn allows me to spend more money on assets and sounds for the game.
