Empire Architect v1.59 - игра о строительстве городов

Hey Everyone!

Today's update contains a user created Spanish translation. I have done my best to check it over, and it seems to be very high quality. That being said I cant read Spanish (meaning I can only double check it with google/bing translate) so if there are any issues with it please let me know. I also have an upgrade for the Architect Office, some wage changes, and bug fixes as well.

Patch Notes:

- Added a User created Spanish translation of the game. It means a lot to me that you guys care enough to do this :)
- New Upgrade: Architect Office, this upgrade is 250 gold, and 10 stone. The upgrade provides +1 architects, and +1 builders. It is an expensive upgrade, but should help to smooth out upkeep.
- Text now better fits into buttons at all sizes.
- Text now better fits into dropdowns at all sizes.
- Other Minor UI adjustments to accomodate the Spanish Language.
- Fixed some minor font related issues...
- Fixed some issues with upgraded lumber mill storage.
- Most low wage workers have had their wages raised to 5 per week up from 4 per week.


Please keep the feedback coming, I am working to address it all as things move along :)

- New Building: Olive Press, The Olive Press produces Olive Oil from Olives.
- New Resource: Olive Oil, Olive Oil is a high cost basic good.
- Fixed a bug in level 10 where upon loading the restricted buildings could be built.
- Fixed a rare crash having to do with the Olive Orchard

Цезарь, ты ли это :)

Hey Everyone,

I didnt quite get this patch finished last Friday, but here it is :)

The Desirability System is a system that assigns a desirability value to each house. This value is negatively affected by close proximity (denoted by a red area finder) to production, workshop, farm, and finishing buildings. I also added a statue building to the game that will boost the value by 1. I plan to had a couple more positive buildings to this system at a later date. Positive desirability gives positive happiness, where as negative desirability will give negative happiness.

I spent some time reworking but button class to include the custom font on them (this will allow the accent marks for French and German). I tested this change quite a bit, and I currently dont see any bugs in the process. But the button class is super widespread throughout the game, so if you see anything odd happening please let me know.

Patch Notes:

- Desireability system, placing housing right next to production, farm, workshop and finishing buildings will cause people unhappines.
- New Building: Statue, Statues raise Desireability in a small area.
- New Overlay: Desireability, -2 or less = red, -1 = orange, 0 = yellow, 1 = light green, 2+ = green.
- I reworked buttons to include the custom font of the game. This should mean that accent marks are now on the buttons, but it could also cause issues. I have tried to text the game in multiple ways, but it is possible that I have missed some bugs created by this process.
- Fixed some spacing around text.
- Added French and German to the Exit menu of the game.
- Fixed some translated text.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all have a great holiday season! I took some time with family, but I am back to hammering hard on the game at this point. As of now I am going to be trying to put out and update every Friday for the next couple of months in order to finish out the base content.

All that being said this patch contains level 8, which is a survival level. To gain access to this level you will need to have completed the first battle map.

Patch Notes:

- Level 8, Sicilia is a battle type map in which you have to survive for 150 days.
- Lag when spawning event (rare, but it was happening at times) should be substantially reduced, if not totally eliminated.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the user to not lose a campaign game when their town hall was destroyed.
- Level 4 now is the first level to have no building restrictions.
- Level 3 will now see some events take place.
- The AI will no longer build right next to your city.
- Fixed a bug where AI Guard Towers could bug out the AI.
- Tweaked the look of bridges to avoid some draw issues.

Translations:

If anyone is willing to translate the 3 sentences (into French and German) for the new level that would be SUPER helpful to me :)

Lastly,

If you are enjoying the game please take a minute and put up a review for the game. Reviews really help to push traffic to the page, and thus helps me to be able to continue pumping money into the project. Thank you in advance!

Hey Everyone,

Well I have been trying to get more sounds made for the game for quite awhile, and now I have a 2nd batch of them. This batch about doubles the total sounds in the game. Today I have added the new building related sounds, but I have not finished the god power sounds, or the unit selection sounds that I currently have.

If any of you have specific sounds you feel are needed please let me know, and I will get them made in the next batch. I plan to have the next batch commissioned before next month, so feel free to make suggestions for awhile :)

Patch Notes:

- New Sound: Sheep farm
- New Sound: Religious buildings
- New Sound: Storage buildings
- New Sound: Wells and Fountains
- New Sound: Reservoirs
- New Sound: Aquaducts
- New Sound: Bathhouse
- New Sound: Dice House
- New Sound: Theater
- New Sound: Gladiator Pit
- New Sound: Thread Maker
- New Sound: Weaving Shop
- New Sound: Doctors Office
- New Sound: Butcher Shop
- New Sound: School
- New Sound: House

Hi Everyone,

Im a day late on this patch, but I wanted to get more done than I had at the end of yesterday... Anyways there are some UI elements that go over buildings now. I hope they help you guys to gather more information about your city at a glance. If there are more things that you guys want to see in this fashion please let me know, and I will think on it :)

Past that there is a road upgrade, that is pretty expensive, but it can help to stream line you city a bit. And also now clicking on a building a 2nd time will try to select a building or road behind it. This will help as I have not yet gotten around to rotating the screen.


Patch Notes:

- New Upgrade: Brick roads, This upgrade costs 2 brick, and 20 denarii. The upgrade will increase travel speed by 10% over dirt roads.
- Added icons over buildings when employees are needed.
- Added icons over buildings if it needs a resource, in order to produce another.
- An icon has been added to unit portraits to show when they are resting.
- Slightly reduced the amount of food people eat, This should make it slightly easier to deal with starving.
- Added German and French text for the new buildings (thanks for the help!).
- Resized a bit of text.
- Clicking a 2nd time on a building will attempt to select buildings (or roads) behind them. So if a road goes behind a granary, the first click will select the granary, but clicking again where the road is, will select the road behind it. I know this is not a perfect solution, but it does allow you to selected all the roads to upgrade ;)
- The Roman empire had a food stipend for the poor. To emulate this Unemployed people will now receive a 3 denarii wage in order for them to buy food. This should help reduce the number of starving people in well planned cities with a few unemployed people.
- Fixed a bug where some people who were unemployed were not acting as they should
- save files should be a bit smaller now.

Also,

I put in an order for more sounds, and I am hoping to have those in the next 2-3 weeks. As well as more art (then again that has been pretty constant).

Lastly,

If you are enjoying the game (or at least like the direction it is going), please put a review up for the game as it really helps me out. Positive reviews causes steams algorithm to send more traffic to the game, which in turn allows me to spend more money on assets and sounds for the game.
