I've uploaded V127 with the following changes:

- Block the staking of a tile that has already been staked.

- Number one player request: stop surprising player with the direction of the bridge. Now, the bridge directions are indicated before the bridge is staked out.

Note: I've upgraded my build machine to windows 10. So this is the first build that was made on that architecture. This should not make any difference for the build, but if it somehow mangled the game, let me know in the forums or via email to b.stolk@gmail.com

Thank you.

I just released V126 with the following changes:

Fixed a freeze bug when path finding would freeze on jumbo planets if really long paths (>256 tiles) were found.

Seeing that people playing the Jumbo sized planets are my paying customers, I feel really bad for the fact that the jumbo planet was less stable than the normal size.

Hopefully, playing jumbo size is now as stable as the large size.

My thanks go out to Mr Woodchuck for helping me track down the issue.

I just uploaded V124 of the game.
It fixes the following bug:

When building roads that cross other roads, or bridges, the Orcs can get stuck on those tiles.

I just uploaded V123.

This version has a less grating music under accelerated time.
You can even switch off fast forward music altogether using the in-game menu by pressing F1.

I just uploaded a new version: V121.

- Improved performance of action planner (less CPU cycles used if no plan can be found.)
- Improved look of action menu.
- Resized text in conversation menu.
- Removed underscores from action menu.
- Narrowed Z-clipping planes.

I plan to leave early access soon, to bring in a larger audience.
If you think there are some things left to implement before a larger release, please leave a note in this thread with your thoughts.

Thank you for helping out Children of Orc.
I appreciate your time spent with the game.

Yours Sincerely,

Bram Stolk

I have released a new build of the game with the following fixes:

- Increased max nr of buildings, so that playing on Jumbo planet will not crash.

- Don't compile windows binary with AVX switch. This theoretically should replace the launch crash with a warning dialog saying AVX support was not detected. Let me know if this is indeed the case.

V117 is now available, with a lot of new content!

Smelter is now operational, and will take iron ore to make ingots.

Forging is now available at the Smithy, using ingots.

Improved model for sawmill.

I've uploaded a new version of the game: V113.
It contains the following fixes:

- Fix for launch crash that many windows users were experiencing.
- Music played from memory, instead of non stop streaming from disk.

Known issues:
- Music keeps playing in menu.

If you had launch issues with the game, please try the update and report back. You may have to restart the steam client to have it pick up the update.
