I reached out to the mod authors to express my gratitude for their awesome work and learned they are a longtime Warsim player and enjoyer, When I tell you the joy I felt being stopped mid fanboy to be met by someone who enjoys Warsim, such a strange but fun twist. So after some talk we discussed a collaboration and here we are!

Then the new turn starts and if you want to see the report you have to go looking for it, then all turns afterwards you get an instant advanced report.

Huw Warsim 9th AnniversaryMar 21, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! As of March 4th just gone, Warsim finally turned 9 (well technically, Mar 4th 2015 was the first mention on the internet of Warsim, and I honestly don't remember when exactly I began before that) I've written this article to celebrate this awesome milestone and we've got a little update coming out soon after hopefully! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/f8a442c94f7e4e2918d7704d034199901cc461ec.png This is a screenshot of Warsim's first mention on the internet, by 2015 me showing off my random little demo project to absolutely no one. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/e07b3dfda3f7081e5600cea5c1bd6ac78ea7962b.png I had no plans or ambitions for it, it was just a cool little thing I was messing around with. If I'd known back then that it would evolve into my fulltime job for years and I'd still be coding in it 9 years on I'd have laughed and said 'SURE'. Warsim's Beginning and it's Awesome Community It started as an experiment to learn coding, and I ended up getting extremely carried away and just kept adding to it and expanding to it. I think anyone who scrolls through the dev logs for the last few years and actually manages to make it will agree with me that Warsim is featurecreep the game. As soon as people started leaving comments and playing it I was hooked. I loved this feeling and I still do which Is why I've tried my best to reply to every comment the game has ever had! After a few years on reddit and getting lots of awesome feedback, Warsim, which at the time was available for free on itch.io, ended up on steam late 2017. This was a turning point for me and I remember worrying I was being scummy charging for it, especially given It had been a free project for so long. The community response at the time was really supportive and when the game finally hit steam it was wild seeing people buying copies of it everyday. Over the years and with a lot of work it grew and grew and so many awesome people stopped along the way to support the development in some form or another. You guys rock, and I've scrapbooked together some of my favourite comments from over the years A collage I made a few years ago {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/09a34990c0a56c19eccb3bda1b3b5099558e910a.png And a recent batch of dev fuel {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/cc511b77e5de9d5075ad43cea5a4b6b8ee61ba6c.png I am not joking when I say these kinds of comments and reviews over the years have brought literal tears to my eyes many a time. It's the greatest fuel I've ever seen so I owe a great thanks to the tens of thousands of you that have been commenting over the years Warsim 1.1.3 (Challenge Mode, Terraton Arena, Battle Opinion System and more!)Feb 8, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey guys, so I've been busier these last few months that usual and I can finally share why! For years now I have been working on Warsim fulltime but finally a few months ago I began the process of working on another game project which I'm super excited for but wont be officially announcing for quite some time (I want to have something awesome to show for it before I bring it to light) Alongside that I have been actively practicing with my mates and formed a punk band and we played our first ever gig a few weeks back and another since, been a wild experience so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjPOMdgb1uE So inbetween the new game, the band, and general life stuff I've not been the most on it with Warsim that I have the last few years but that never means that Warsim is forgotten, case and point this update and many more like it! I will never not be indebted to the Warsim community for the support in life it has given me for more than half a decade now :) So on to the update and it's a juicy one, we've got a new god tier upgrade to the Arena, a new public opinion loss system from battle, new necromancy events, a few new encounters and bug fixes, and finally 4 new challenge modes!! CHALLENGE MODE (5 features) The crowning feature of the update imo, a whole heap of new game starts. Warsim a little too easy? Have a crack at these new challenges! I will personally definitely be using the Empire challenge and Deatheater ones for a bit of fun, the races that occupy the deatheater kingdoms are still random so the results will be interesting. * Added new challenge mode screen on main menu * Added Empire challenge mode (All rival factions are significantly bigger than default) * Added 2 year challenge mode (Play the game for 2 years) * Added Deatheater challenge (All kingdoms are deatheaters) * Added Deatheater empire challenge (All kingdoms are empires of deatheaters) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/7e78583c03639f7fa05533edb71b61e9d99dac17.png TERRATON ARENA (8 features) If you own the colossal arena and have a terraton of gold spare, you can now upgrade the arena to something even grander than before and with it among a whole host of benefits is the ability to run your own custom fights between any units you want! * Added ability to upgrade Arena to Terraton Arena * Added 100 total fights per year to terraton Arena * Added +100k visitor cap to terraton Arena * Added ability to host custom fights in terraton arena * Added custom fighter category with 9 default units * Added custom fighter categories for all 5 indie kingdoms * Added custom fighter category for all merc groups and leaders * Added custom fighter category for custom units of your choice {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/86d21ba5d2c60683d5aebc4871b2247a169fc153.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/19c2bf57a9d7a777d1fbb4bf8c9b36e826f7dcb2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/17d831bbdd4007363055ae3cd73db708eda9191e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/87fa8ce92cded8a96a73d58860e0ea6ef1e87e8e.png PUBLIC OPINON BATTL...Warsim 1.1.2 (Gift Update, Merc calls and Warsim history section +5 bugfixes)Dec 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsA few hours til christmas and I've been tinkering with this update all day, thought I'd put it out as a final bit of Warsim for this year!

I'll be fully honest and say I was so focused on the absolute trawl of coding this that at some point my changelog noting got a little lazy, so the changelog isn't a full reflection of every location and feature added. To all you new and seasoned Warsim explores, good travels! * Added 'The Lands Beyond' infinite exploration * Added abandoned hovel location * Added champion hovel location (hireable) * Added peasant hovel location (talk/kill/recruit/tax) * Added pair of peasants hovel location (talk/kill/recruit/tax) * Added soldier hovel location (talk/kill/recruit/tax) * Added pair of soldiers hovel location (talk/kill/recruit/tax) * Added loot filled hovel location * Added faded ruin location * Added strangely shaped pointy rock location * Added sign to random kingdom location * Added bandit gang rock message location * Added lone bucket location * Added beeping shack location * Added interesting rock formation location * Added lake location (can be in a number of states) (can fish) (can trawl) (can skip stone) (credit Mini_Paceed for fishing idea) * Added river location (can be in a number of states) (can fish) (can trawl) (can skip stone) (credit Mini_Paceed for fishing idea) * Added pond location (can be in a number of states) (can fish) (can trawl) (can skip stone) (credit Mini_Paceed for fishing idea) * Added ocean location (can be in a number of states) (can fish) (can trawl) (can skip stone) (credit Mini_Paceed for fishing idea) * Added sea location (can be in a number of states) (can fish) (can trawl) (can skip stone) (credit Mini_Paceed for fishing idea) * Added small mountain (easy climb / shout up / admire) lots of random stuff at the top * Added mountain (climb / shout up / admire) lots of random stuff at the top * Added large mountain (tough climb / shout up / admire) lots of random stuff at the top * Added colossal mountain (very hard climb / shout up / admire) lots of random stuff at the top * Added ruined versions of all mountain type locations (can't be climbed) * Added misty versions of all mountain type locations * Added crumbling versions of all mountain type locations (can be destroyed) * Added necromancer cleared ancient battlefield location (5 sizes) (loot items) * Added looted ancient battlefield location (5 sizes) (raise the dead) ...'The Lands Beyond' Update - Progress Update #2Aug 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello hello! So been a week or so since my last post and just wanted to keep everyone updated. I've been testing and playing around with the new encounter stuff and adding more and more new possible location types and it's going well. Recently I've started work a mega-template encounter that itself has 38 different sub types with 3 variants each (114 different types total) which has been a huge and tough piece of work to complete but I'm powering through it. I've been thinking about it a lot recently and I'll be trying to playthrough the exploration stuff rigorously enough that I can spot any elements that feel repetetive over time and try to further flesh them out to avoid this. Some encounter types I've done have some variant elements and random parts but ultimately don't vary hugely, whereas others I've done have been really enjoyable unpredictable. It's been a fun thing to work on, but at times I do look at the mountains that I'm building with my own concepts and ideas as well as the many awesome ones I've been getting from the Warsim community (especially our discord which has been a hotbed of activity in that department in recent months) and think to myself... Bloody hell So I'm revising my previous statement estimating this will take 'a few weeks' and pushing the estimate to at least another month I reckon. However if I can keep the pace I'm hoping this can become a seriously juicy new feature to the game :) Cheers and thanks for your patience! Huw 'The Lands Beyond' - Random Exploration Update Coming Soon!Aug 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey guys! A little while ago I made a list of some major feature ideas (or sets of ideas) that had accumulated from both myself and the community and was considering ones to work on. One scared me a little, so I decided to go for that one. And that's how I began working on Random Exploration! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/697f60bb8801441f934441582776d8fad15e6792.png THE DEVELOPMENT Although at first It did feel like I'd bitten off more than I could chew I'm actually pretty happy with the progress now! The concept was simple, add an additional fifth option to the exploration screen that allows you to spend exploration chances on discovering new randomly generated locations. LOCATION TYPES CODED SO FAR So far I've done a small batch of location types and already it feels random everytime with them. The most random and varied ones are Tombs, Shrines, and Fight Pits. All the locations have variations and alternate states but those three do it really well. * Huts - Holding loot / Random peasants / Guards / Nothing * Battlefields - That can be cleared / Necromanced * Graveyards - With readable gravestones / Possible Necromancy / Looting / Desecration * Fight Pits - Can be goblin pits / Child pits / Mage Pits / with betting, attacking, watching etc * Shrines - Can be worshipped / ruined / looted * Tombs - Can be delved by sending a unit / Can vary lots in size and contents * Merclodges - Can be hired / attacked / bartered with LOCATION TYPES BEING CODED SOON I have some plans for each of these location types but usually more ideas and formed concepts come to me as I'm building them, so I'm looking forward to being able to playtest with all of these in the mix, and possibly more! * Villages - Recruit / Attack / Loot / Explore * Merchant Posts - Trade / Attack / Talk * Mines - Collapse / Loot / Attack / Trade * Mountains - Climb * Taverns - Attack / Drink / Talk * Bandit Dens - Attack / Hire / Talk * Labyrinths - Delve / Collapse * Towers - Explore / Destroy / Climb * Caves - Delve * Forts - Attack / Hire / Destroy / Talk * Slave Hubs - Hire / Sell / Destroy / Talk * Holes in the ground - Could contain anything, loot, a family, a crazed man etc * Potentially some others to be decided later in dev... HOW ITS GOING I'm quite happy with the progress so far and in playtesting it actually feels fairly fresh! Some locations are really nice and varied even when I just repeatedly force visited the same location template type in testing, I have also become addicted to destroying every building I find once I'm done with it... I mean what does it matter I'll never come back to that location again right? So lets have a look at some places I found in my runs so far... A QUICK DELVE INTO THE LANDS BEYOND A tomb to a man named Clethus but it at some point caved in so there's not much I can here aside from the extra option I have as a necromancer to raise the remnants of old Clethus and co. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/eb5ad4bd2bd251fa79c4f9dd7f08752d7890caf6.png And a batt...Warsim 1.0.6 (MORE NECROMANCY!)Jun 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsTL:DR * New necromancer troop source * Consquences for necromancy * 14 new throne room encounters * 5 bug fixes NEW NECRO ABILITY A logical new source of corpses! * Added ability to raise the corpses of songwood graveyard as a necro NECROMANTIC CONSEQUENCES (5 features) * Added 1/3 chance of -2 public op drop when resurrecting a dead arena fighter * Added 1/3 chance of -5 public op drop when sending undead army to battle * Added 1/3 chance of -3 public op drop when resurrecting a dead champion in battle * Added 1/3 chance of -3 public op drop when gifting corpses to necro kingdoms * Added 1/3 chance of -4 public op drop when you raise the undead NECRO THRONE ROOM ENCOUNTERS (14 features) A bunch of new encounters for your necromantic bastards! * Added 'corpse trade' necro throne room encounter (barter-able, randomised trade offer) * Added 'corpse merchant' necro throne room encounter (barter-able) * Added 'fellow necromancer passing by gift' necro throne room encounter * Added 'dug up my ancestors for you' necro throne room encounter * Added 'make something of my dead son' necro throne room encounter * Added 'corpse from the outskirts' necro throne room encounter * Added 'necro hunter' necro throne room encounter * Added 'ashamed' necro throne room encounter * Added 'turn your back' necro throne room encounter * Added 'experiments' necro throne room encounter * Added 'join the dead' necro throne room encounter * Added 'stop the madness' necro throne room encounter * Added 'flagon of worms' necro throne room encounter * Added 'aunties corpse' necro throne room encounter {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/77bab34d0c8986d90f27666b2a00391558f34311.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/d0ffdf0612a70006340f520fa4bbbbc65b99a1fe.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/8f0eefdaa544050338ee1d89500fb0ae5119cf43.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/06c9d241bb694d690a2e57c70275f27096fc6a72.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/6d59ad095a63ab0cf65662d6548e44cb2f1e4a51.png BUGFIXES (5 bug fixes) Always good to fix em, always more that follow! * Fixed advantage over your forces text (credit u/Videovillain) * Fixed court bard face skipping the ascii filter (credit Defender) * Fixed Blackrow demon seller sfx bug (credit Defender) * Fixed text bug in battle text (credit Donjondo) * Fixed vampire law bug (shows the minimum requirement for vampires turning slaves into vampires in Baiaa) (credit Taylork) EVERYTHING ELSE (3 features) Just little tweaks and changes!

Huw Necromancy Savebreaking HotfixMay 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsGot an email not too long ago with a report of a savebreaking bug (those and ctd bugs are the cream of the crop of stuff that needs to be dealt with immediately) so here's a hot fix It's a stupid issue caused by resurrected heroes having the origin story/hero description replaced with a new one I wrote, ie instead of 'I was a roving warrior, then I joined you' a resurrected one would say 'Death Provides...' however this text is added to the save files. The game differenciates data in saves with these '.' So now anyone loads and it detects 3 extra dots and thinks oh this save has 3 more variables than expected and freaks out tldr: Death provides... headaches for the dev! If anyone does have any issues ever with their save files hit me up! I hate to see them, but I love to see the issues behind them resolved permanently and if it wasn't for someone letting me know about this one this fix wouldn't be out so quick Cheers guys Warsim 1.0.5 (Necromancy, Year Change events, Seshgoblinz and more)May 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsTL:DR * You can become a necromancer, raise any undead from battles, and your dead heroes * 10 new kingdom upgrades * 32 new events that can trigger at the end of the year * New location and characters in Goblinwood * 8 Bugs fixed * New book added Adding necromancy is something I avoided for the whole dev cycle because it felt like a can of worms... and can of worms it was... undead wriggly ones. But worth it I think, nothing worse than losing a champion and now you can do something about it. Glad to finally get this out and I hope you enjoy it Warsim 1.0.4 (Goblin Jesters, End of turn Expansion, Sit and Ponder and more)Apr 26, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsBeen working on this stuff for the last week or so and wanted to release it today to celebrate my Birthday! I've finally made it out of the 27s club :) ːwinter2019happyyulː TL:DR * 10 more end of turn events * Ultimate victory screen for 25k land empires * Merc groups now recruit troops each year * Added goblin jesters in the throne room with 25 jokes told in goblin style * Added 9 new jokes jesters can tell about goblins * Improved Elyk the Madmans reactions to stuff when drinking with him * Added ability to send a massive warband to attack adventurers * Added ability to sit and ponder on your throne when no one is visiting * Fixed 5 bugs * Made some other small tweaks END OF TURN EVENTS EXPANSION (13 features) There is a batch of end of turn events that can happen when you... well end your turn. I've tweaked a few and added a nice new batch to keep things fresh and make more happen in general! * Made goblin sceptre random events 4x more common * Added new end of turn random event 'A shipload of sea raiders' if bandit level above 30 (+bandit level) * Added new end of turn random event 'Nameless hero' if bandit level above 30 (-bandit level) * Added new end of turn random event 'Goblin stealing coin' if goblin slavery legal (-1 gold, -1 gob) * Added new end of turn random event 'Kindness celebration' if public opinion is 100 (+gold) * Added new end of turn random event 'refugee arrival' (+peasants) * Added new end of turn random event 'deserter band' (+soldiers) * Added new end of turn random event 'goblin traders' (+gobs) * Added new end of turn random event 'trio of wanderers who like the name' (+3 gobs) * Added new end of turn random event 'lost scouts' (+soldiers) * Made joining group random events 3x more common * Added new end of turn random event 'Merc group glory story' (+150-1150 new recruits for random merc group) * Made random events in general at the end of turn slightly more common ULTIMATE EMPIRE VICTORY (1 feature) You can play on beyond this, but hitting 25000 lands under your belt gets you a victory screen as that is pretty much the pinnacle! * Added ultimate empire victory screen for hitting 25000 lands in Warsim (credit u/Somberclaus) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29372563/41ec6b782e05cbf75ed743dc313ab6690a1f1b29.png MERC RECRUITMENT (4 features) Mercs don't currently grow unless you provide them with troops, this means that after a while used up groups become pretty weak and you kind of have to wait for them to fizzle out, or hire them just to kill them off to clear space. Well no longer, now groups will recruit each turn and grow slowly, this also scales with discovering new lands meaning later game merc groups recruit 100s per turn. * Added merc recruitment for active merc companies (random troops of up to half leaders battlescore per turn) * Added merc recruitment pop up in normal events text * Added merc recruitment pop up in good event text if you own the group * Added merc recruitment buffs +10% each time new lands are discovered (...Warsim 1.0.3 (Staff executions, Better Goblin Sceptres, and Stronger Mercs)Apr 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsJust a nice little update covering a mixed range of areas.
