addedIt is time to grab an axe, hammer and trowel once again and raise the walls of your own settlement! One of the most extensive additions in Gloria Victis history – Freebuilding for Guild Castles – just received a full renovation. You are getting brand new detailed models, new features, improved construction system, and even more will come in the near future, including a highly requested grid visibility system and destruction animation of fortifications!
addedBut that is not all! Thanks to the full model renovation, Nation castles will also get a new look and improvements, so every player will be able to benefit from today's update.
changedSpeaking about benefits for all, we also are happy to introduce a combat movement update, which will greatly improve the responsiveness of the combat movement, speed up the combat, and will give players the ability to change their position more easily in the tactical aspects of the game on the battlefield.
changedAs positioning and having the possibility to improve your tactics on the battlefield is crucial for success in battle, we - as an independent game studio - are also focusing on our position on the world stage and market. Thanks to the recent update of the engine, which gives us a performance and stability boost, and thanks to the cooperation with our precious Community in fixing a lot of issues related to the moderation of the game, we believe that the time has come to leave the Alpha state of the project.
addedWe will give ourselves two more weeks to polish the Freebuilding overhaul with you, and after that, on update 250, Gloria Victis will move to a Beta phase that will last a few months. In that time, our programmers will focus on using the tools given to us by the engine upgrade to improve stability, performance and optimization of the game, even more, to be ready for full release and new players. Of course, part of the team will work on bug fixes and new features, and we would like to address players' demands as well as take some time to prepare new mount colours and skins.
addedThis introduction becomes a bit lengthy, but I should also mention Aquilla and Monteverde servers are merging with this update. As you know, we ran a NA/SA Test Server to check routings and performance of it. From people who sent us their reports about ping and performance, we can say that 90% of players that participated in the test session had a better ping on the new server!

Changelog v.0.9.5.0 Alpha

Freebuilding overhaul

Freebuilding has been with us for a little over a year, and it is a system that allows every guild owning a guild province to set up fortifications and buildings on its own. Freebuilding is one of the biggest and most impactful systems of Gloria Victis. When we introduced it into the game, it became another layer of gameplay and deepened the player economy, and it gave players a lot of freedom in creativity and tactical aspects of the game.
