Timber and Stone 0.1.7 Beta

Change-log:[updates] There was a 3 second delay after an archer walks wherein he would be unable to shoot, this has been removed. Rate of farming has been slightly sped up. Rate of food consumption has been slightly lowered. Rate at which animals spawn on the map has been increased slightly. Units can once again be renamed. A few odd characters are not allowed to prevent the breaking of save files. New “Equip Optimal Armor” button in the Unit Equipment tab. Useful for quickly equipping Archers and Infantry with your best equipment. Archers and Infantry will now always target the closest Training Dummy or Archery Target if there are multiple in range. New pause menu has been added. Much of it is placeholder until the in-game options are fleshed out, but there is a functional Controls Menu where you can remap many of the games keys and adjust the speeds of mouse controlled camera movements. An error window will now be displayed if the game is unable to save. This system backs up the current save data and rolls your game back to your last successful save. Ideally this error window should never show itself, but if it does, please create a bug report.[resolved bugs] Fixed an error where chopping trees at depth level 0 would corrupt save files. Morale status bar reaches past 100% Unit details menus overlap Building on the map edge results in continuous resource loss Within the unit UI, EXP bars will expand beyond their level Blocks selected for farm return if removed Fixed an error where enemies would attempt to break down doors that haven’t yet been built. Fixed a bug where dead units appeared to be alive after loading a game. Archers were unable to attack "stacked" targets (now target the closest available) Fixed a Forager issue where multiple foragers would break bush gathering indexes. (wrong bush would get picked/removed)

Timber and Stone is a project started in March of 2012 by Robert Reed. It is a city building game with the feel of a real time strategy game. The game is set in a medieval world with some fantasy elements.Trebuchets can destroy castle walls, trees, and earth. Fire can be used as a realistic weapon. The game does not only allow you to build an army but you also have to feed that army, by Farming, Fishing, Hunting, and Foraging. With an intuitive crafting system that allows you to engineer Siege Equipment by felling trees for Wood, create Bricks to fortify your kingdom’s walls using the raw stone you have mined, and blacksmiths who forge armor and weapons for my military.Timber and Stone is a sandbox game, where the player is allowed to create any style of settlement, village, or kingdom he wishes. You start the game with a procedurally generated terrain and are given a small group of workers and resources. To survive, you’ll have to collect food and building materials. The more wealth you amass, the more likely you’ll be besieged by marauding goblin hordes or by Necromancers controlling undead armies. Alter the land with large Quarries or deforestation and you risk awakening the Spiders and Wurms that live deep underground. Or perhaps that’s your intent, to collect their Scales and Silk to craft powerful armor and bows?

Siege and castle defense are a large part of the game. Produce food, gather resources and riches, build Farms and villages, even decorate the workers’ houses; but remember that it must all be protected. Siege Towers, Ladders, Catapults, Trebuchets, Ballistas, Drawbridges, and Moats will all be available to both the player and the enemies. The benefit of a voxel based world is that all of these weapons can damage the terrain. Trebuchet fire will carve holes into the earth. Catapults will be loaded with boulders, tree stumps, and dead bodies. Fire arrows will scorch farms and burn wood buildings to the ground. Recent battles will be evident by the devastated terrain.
