changedIt's been ten days since the store page for First Days of Atlantis went live and I've just published the first update. So grab your hot beverage of choice (I've got my coffee right next to me as I'm writing this) and let's take a look at the changes.
addedSteam IntegrationThe first one is a no-brainer, but I thought I'd mention it first to get it of of the way. I wanted to include as many features as I possibly could, so the game supports cloud saves, leaderboards and I added the first eleven achievements. Some of the achievements are straight forward, like the Settler achievement, which requires you to earn a total of at least 1000 gold. Other achievements require you to do trickier things, especially the hidden ones. I'm excited to see how long they will stay hidden.
addedNew BuildingsI added three new building models: the lighthouse, the upgraded harbor and the fully upgraded villa. The villa and the harbor are visual upgrades only, so they don't change the gameplay. The lighthouse on the other hand is a completely new building. It doubles the production of all harbors within its gigantic range of five tiles in any direction. This means you can get a lot more income from markets and harbors without blocking any precious space in your settlement.
addedShipsTogether with the new lighthouse and the upgraded harbor, there are now ships that arrive at your city from distant islands. You just need to build a harbor and then the merchant ships will come and dock for a short time, before moving on. This is also just a visual change, but it adds so much more life to the world. I love it!
