Just wanted to give you a heads-up on progress. I am currently working on making the tactical battle view 3D. Tactical battles are a big part of the game and the current grey 2D grid is a bit dull, and it’s kind of hard to visualize effects and spells on it. I will try and get some work-in-progress screenshots up in the weekend.

Added a Wall of Swords spell, which is an area effect spell, causing damage to units passing through it. To do this I added code supporting area of effects spells in tactical combat, target validation for spells and improved multi-targeting.
Next up is more spells, and then some graphics updates to tactical combat.

Neutral fortresses now have defenders. If the fortress is the headquarters of a knightly order, they will be pretty tough, and some of those tough knights will also be present in cities with chapter houses of knightly orders.
Also, I added the ability for combat spells to have multiple targets. This will be used to create stuff like Wall of Fire/Ice/Swords/Scarecrows, which is defined by two end-point, a spell linking two regiments somehow, or a portal from one part of the battlefield to another. There should be some of these in the next patch 🙂

Added the first iteration of the morale system for tactical combat. Regiments can now break and run in terror if they feel they are losing the fight.
