Alpha 0.3.0: Hereti and the Horsemen
Hereti
A new region lies in the far east of Kakheti, where the raids from Jar-Belakan came first. Here you hold two places, the Sasakhle and the village Eklesia, and if either falls the level is lost.
Tusheti and Hereti now each last 16 nights.
Troops and raiders
The Sajinibo, the royal stables, is a new building that trains horsemen: fast riders with sabres who run down marksmen and sappers.
Two new raiders come with it. Kachags are light, fast brigands who run in packs and hunt your lord. Plunderers come for the church's silver and make straight for the Eklesia.
Fighting
Hold Shift to run, or make a long drag on a phone. At night running costs stamina, so choose your moments.
Everyone now wears armor, your people and the raiders alike, and the tooltips and the encyclopedia show how much. Soldiers hold formation and follow their camp's flag when you carry it, and raiders keep to their own paths.
Presentation
