Battle Code Rewritten

The battle system has now reached the level originally aimed for in the official version. The uploaded video showcases a full-scale battle conducted entirely under AI command.

⚔️ Battle System Rewritten

• The bow and throwing mechanics have been completely rebuilt and are now flawless as a game system.

• Aiming time directly affects accuracy and projectile speed.

  • Bows and javelins fired without full draw will wobble weakly and lose power.

  • Crossbows and firearms retain damage and projectile speed even when fired from the hip, but their aim will deviate sharply.

🏃‍♂️ Movement and Projectile Dynamics

• The shooter’s movement speed now directly adds to the projectile’s velocity. → This means if your projectile is too slow or your character moves too fast, you can’t rely solely on the crosshair — you must account for speed and distance.

• Examples:

  • Sprinting forward and throwing a javelin backward will make it drop straight to the ground.

  • AI units experience the same physics with perfectly calculated aim.

• Projectile damage now depends on the relative speed between the projectile and the target.

  • Running head-first into a slow-moving javelin can cause instant death-level damage.

  • However, for fast bullets, your running speed has almost no effect on incoming damage.

🎯 AI and Projectile Behavior

• At excessive range, AI units will automatically stop ranged attacks.

• However, monster-type units use artillery logic, meaning they have no range limit.

• All non-explosive projectiles embed themselves into the ground and remain there until the battle ends.

  • Up to 50,000 arrows can remain on the battlefield without major performance issues (although this extreme case has not yet been stress-tested).

  • Projectiles appear visibly larger while in flight — this is intentional for readability. They revert to normal size upon impact.

• Up to 10,000 corpses can accumulate on the battlefield without issue, though each corpse requires its own mesh variation — a future update will address this.

• Arrows also visibly stick into horses.

🔊 Additional Combat Changes

• Doppler effects and sound reworks have not yet been implemented.

• Ranged units that run out of ammo will now charge at the enemy.

• When a side has overwhelming power, AI units skip marching formations and charge immediately.

• Monster units attack relentlessly whenever possible — if enemies are nearby, they will ignore player orders until the target is dead.

🌍 Upcoming Schedule

• The goal is to release a playable world map within 10 days.

• However, if the system feels unnatural during testing, the update may be delayed for polish.

• Regardless of timing, all core game content (excluding story mode) will be completed within this year.

• Until then, save files will not be compatible between updates.
