Devblog 16: Keeps, expanded seas and weapon modes
The August 16, 2024 announcement replaces Town Centers with Keeps that connect to surrounding fort modules. Several floors and an accessible interior make the central structure useful during a siege.
Travel and combat gain new choices
The world expansion separates additional landmasses with sea routes. New weapon rules distinguish movement penalties, guard penetration and alternate attacks. Javelins can be thrown from horseback, while Spears gain distinct throw and melee modes. The post also describes an older food-based deployment system; later Avatar announcements replace that part of the progression loop.
