Sieged!

Sentinels and Units

• Sentinel Upgrades Path: Upgrade Warders into Sentinels by crouching and interacting with a crossbow.

• Dressed for Battle: Sentinel Falconers and Chevaliers can now wear armor (Chevaliers are restricted to helmets and chestplates).

• Chevalier Animation: Added a new attack animation for the Chevalier when swinging their weapon.

• New Unit (Javelier): A special entity that only spawns on Greek Ships, armed with a javelin and shield. Hit them 6 times to break their shield and open an attack window.

• Ocean Variants: Added medieval Greek-inspired ocean and beach variants for the Ransacker, Vanquisher, Executioner, and Lancer.

• Pathfinding Improvements: Improved pathfinding mechanics for both Warders and Templars and Chevaliers.

Mechanics, Settings, and Commands

• Surrender System: Trigger a Surrender Flag interaction during PvP or PvE sieges. Losing players choose between daily or one-time payment expense options alongside other victor requirements. A messenger will arrive at the player to collect payments; killing the messenger triggers an immediate raid or war.

• Advanced Formations: Introduced stationary defensive Phalanx and Turtle formations inside the Banner Guard menu (restricted to Warders only).

• Formation March: Added a formation march button to the Banner Guard menu (Note: currently experimental, improvements coming in the future).

• Improved "Follow Me" Command: Added new options to individually command Infantry, Cavalry, Ranged, All Units, or Banner Guards to follow you.

• Ambush Modifications:

• Ambushes no longer trigger within Kingdom territory.

• Reduced the ceiling spawn rate for ambushes, making them rarer.

• Dev & Base Settings: Added a Creative-only Dev Setting item to manually trigger script events, alongside a mass-equip weapon function for nearby units. The Base Settings item now includes ambush frequency options (Off, 20%, 50%, 75%, Default).

• Logistics Ledger: Updated the ledger. The "Cart" purchase is renamed to Transport, which now unlocks both the Vassal Ship and the Siege Cart.

• Catalog Adjustments: Moved specific items over to the Sieged Catalog.

Naval Warfare and Sieges

• Vassal Ships & Fleet Drums: Command fleets by claiming a ship with a named banner, then use Fleet Drums to issue commands (Follow, Stop, Embark, Disembark).

• Ship Upgrades: Permanent buffs can be applied by interacting with a ship using one of three items (Limit: 1 per ship):

• Goat Horn: Grants Strength to onboard units.

• Shield: Increases vassal ship durability.

• Ballista: Summons two Warders to auto-fire a ballista at nearby enemies.

• Naval Battles: When near water, naval battles will trigger instead of field battles, spawning 2 to 4 opposing Illager and Villager ships. (Tip: Increase simulation distance if spawning issues occur).

• Field Battles: Field battles can now successfully spawn on sand blocks.

• The Greek Ship: A new siegeable structure. Using a Goat Horn nearby summons ground units and enemy Illager ships. This function also triggers if a standard castle siege happens near an ocean.

• Field Repairs: Repair built siege weapons and Wooden Gates using planks and logs by crouching and interacting with them.

• Battering Rams: Edited the underlying code for more consistency during operation.

• Ballista Tuning:

• Improved target firing logic; ballistas will no longer fire if they lack a direct line of sight.

• Ballistas now fire javelin entities, though they remain loaded with arrows to keep ammunition costs balanced.

Gear, Blocks, and Cosmetics

• New Weapons: Javelin, Throwing Axe, Throwing Dagger, Billhook, Greatsword, Sabre, Gladius, Flail, Wooden Pike, Long Bow, Heavy Crossbow, and Repeating Crossbow.

• New Armor: Added the Seafarer armor set.

• Wooden Pike Mechanics: Can be placed on a surface by crouching and interacting. You can stack up to 3 pikes on a single block. Entities standing on them take damage (more pikes equal higher damage). Over time, the pikes degrade and the block self-destructs after dealing enough damage.

• Defensive Blocks: Added Arrow Slit T, Arrow Slit I, and the Arrow Barrel.

• Tip: Interact with arrows to stock the barrel. Barrels automatically reload nearby Sentinel Armed Ballistas and refill Falconer arrow counts.

• Banners & Customization:

• Added the Wayfinder castle banner style option.

• Added a cosmetic banner flag item that changes colors upon interaction. Units are able to hold these colored flags.

• There is new Cosmetic castle banner styles to choose from when defeating bosses Peace, Redemption, and Victory

Bosses, Balance, and Mythic Loot

• The Tyrant:

• Features fixed animations, new chat lines, and upgraded combat maneuvers.

• Loot Balance Change: Now explicitly drops two special items along with crests and standard loot. The Summoning Bell (summons 4 Templars every 60 seconds) and the Repeating Crossbow are guaranteed drops, while the Crown of Domination now has a 50/50 drop chance.

• War Grace Period: Added a delayed letter mechanic after completing the Tyrant threshold, granting the player a brief window of preparation before war is officially declared.

• Invasion Logic: The Tyrant's invasion must now explicitly trigger at the player's castle.

• Illager King Boss Battle & Invasion:

• Increased overall difficulty by adding Javeliers and Ransackers to the fight.

• During Phase 2 at 10% health, the Chieftain mini-boss will be summoned.

• Late into the health pool, the Tyrant will summon the Chieftain to act as a personal guard for the King while his shield is active.

• War Ravager: Now drops the Ravager Flail and a reworked War Horn that buffs surrounding units.

• Forsaken Knight: Fixed animations. Drops his signature armor set featuring a unique ability: crouch and jump to convert select enemy mobs into Villager counterparts (e.g., Vanquishers turn into Templars). This ability includes a balance cooldown.

• Finishing Blows: Custom death animations added for all bosses.

Fixes and Tweaks

• Fixed a bug allowing the Castle Gate to link to any new horn; it is now strictly locked to a single designated horn.

• Fixed a placement bug associated with the Tower Shield.

• Fixed missing enchantments on specific loot items.

• Distributed additional loot to special chests found within castles.

• General performance improvements and various minor bug fixes.
