Version 2.1 has been posted. I wanted to fit more in to this update but I've been too busy to get the rest done. Since this version contains some pretty important bug fixes, it seemed worth posting. This update will hopefully fix almost everyone who has been experiencing problems with the regional settings bug. The War tent had a bug that affected the soldiers not showing up, that has been fixed. I've also fixed 2 bugs that could sometimes affect your ability to send pikemen or cavalry. The newly reported bug from Christopher is fixed, where it might have taken away too many soldiers after reinforcing a friend online.
I went in and made the merchant cart code a little more stable. It was working fine, but I spotted a few places where "tampering" by people looking to give themselves an advantage could have broken it. The V key gives more information than it used to. The T key, without shift, no longer tells you about people in the Tavern. Due to changes several versions ago, you don't see people in there much anyways so the key was being wasted. The new feature is a toggle called territorial. By default it is turned on. When turned on, your soldiers will automatically go out to defend your land against intruders. This sounds familiar because that's how the game has always worked. By pressing T to turn territorial off, you can prevent your soldiers from going out to fight. This is especially useful when you are trying to train soldiers since you can't do that if they keep running out and dying before you get a chance to train them. I just realized I put sounds in for opening and closing buildings, but forgot to adjust the code! Haha! Oh well, i'll get that for the next update. I did, however, add in sounds for each individual building type. You will not notice any difference though, since each sound is just a copy of the default building sound I introduced last version. What I want, is for people to come up with sounds that seem to fit each building and submit them. I keep losing the sound guys who volunteer to work on castaways, so I am going to try a different approach. With this task given out to everyone, hopefully some sounds will start coming in that will improve the game for everyone. The sounds for the buildings all begin with a capital B, to keep them grouped together in the sounds folder. Replace the game sounds with your own sounds, so that you can test them out by playing the game with them. I think this is a good way to find out if a sound really seems to fit, and also tells you if the sound will get annoying too fast while you try to play the game with it. lol!
