Repeated intro

Hello everyone, So we are done with the new features for Alpha 1.9 and are currently in the testing phase which we expect will continue through the week ending Sunday December 9th. If we get done with testing before that we will release it right away but we wouldn't want to release with bugs that will spoil your experience.

removedWhy is Alpha 1.9 taking so long?A major focus of Alpha 1.9 is crowd reaction and interactivity. This means that every single character you meet in Badiya now will no longer be just a passive NPC but will actually react to you threatening them with a weapon, punching them, hitting them with a horse or camel and hitting them with a vehicle or a tank. Not only that, but others around this particular NPC who witness this act will take notice and react accordingly by either engaging in the fight if they are armed or running away if they are not! As you might guess, getting this to look and work properly takes a lot of effort and is subject to bugs and that's why we were working hard on getting it to work as expected (with more room for improvements in later versions as well) We can't wait to get this release in your hands and thank you very much for your love for the game. You guys deserve the best and we are working hard to deliver that to you. Best Regards, Ahmad Jadallah Director of Development Semaphore
