Update Notice for 7/8–7/19

The major update during this period is the implementation of the "Ascensions" feature on the 19th. This is a new element that unlocks after clearing the game and progressively increases the game's difficulty with each new playthrough. As balancing is tricky, it is being released as a beta version for now and will be applied to the regular version after some time.

[Content Additions & Specification Changes] (Beta Only)

1. Added "Ascensions" as post-clear content. There are up to 10 trials, with one unlocking each time you clear the previous one. They can be selected from the New Game screen.
   
2. Significantly increased the HP of gate-type buildings.
   
3. Adjusted damage from battering rams and hammer units to buildings from 5x to 2x.

[Bug Fixes] (Applied to Regular Version)

1. Fixed a bug where ports sometimes wouldn't function.
   
2. Fixed a bug where the technology meant to reduce the cost of Musketeers and Cannoneers wasn't working.
   
3. Fixed a bug where the last digit of the final item in the cost display would disappear.
   
4. Fixed a bug where, when moving a warehouse, dropped item quantities were counted twice, causing incorrect display of item counts at the top.

[Bug Fixes] (Beta Only)

1. Fixed a bug where character bodies for LOD would remain when adding units via mods.
   
2. Fixed an issue where the construction cost for the Staff Technique Dojo was incorrect.

Update Notice for 7/4–7/8

We’ve released an update from July 4th to July 8th. The Challenge MOD feature that was previously available in the beta version has now been officially implemented in the standard version!

Check out the Zundamon Castle Workshop here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/2455610/workshop/

1. Added functionality to allow users to add Challenges via MODs
   
2. Implemented functionality to allow MOD-added units to use alternate pathfinding AI (currently only effective when they appear as enemies)
   
3. Slightly improved pathfinding for enemies when they move in groups
   
4. Changed specifications so that the "Exporting Settings" are no longer displayed for standard production buildings (now shown only when there’s an associated storage, such as with the Kitchen Tower)
   
5. Changed the category tabs for some buildings (e.g., moved the Well from "Other" to "Food")

1. Fixed a bug where units passing through ladders wouldn’t reflect the correct ladder height
   
2. Fixed a bug where befriending a battering ram in a MOD challenge caused the game to behave abnormally
   
3. Fixed a bug in the beta version where the number and level of characters in story challenges were reversed
   
4. Fixed a bug where influence gain per turn no longer increased after clearing challenges
   
5. Fixed a bug where the toggle buttons for "Fullscreen" and "Invert Free Camera Movement" in the settings panel would not switch properly
   
6. Likely fixed a bug where, after relocating a production facility, in-progress items remained on the ground without being handled properly, causing workers to repeatedly try and collect them
