World 14 when?

It may sound like something out of the fantastical, but Haven & Hearth was built entirely by two Gnomes in a Tower. The Gnomes are day and night hard at work providing you with this strange and wonderful thing, and would very much appreciate any excess Gold you'd care to throw into their rainbowed pot in exchange, for the toils of gnomish labors are lessened with each dubloon.

Buy the gold sub and hat to support the patch. I’m sure it’ll encourage the gnomes to meet your bare minimum expectations!

We've been developing, and here's what's new.
New Implementations
-----------------------

• Added chore to make your base take longer to raid. Rev up those bots!
• Added chore to make raiding a base take longer and eat up a million hitpoints.

Good update

pog update

The only problem I see with this is if someone builds two cliffs right next to eachother. add walls to the top of the cliff.
The amount of dirt needed to break the cliff would be something around 27 times (if not more) the amount used to make the single segment.

it's a cool idea, and if it becomes hard to manage because a ram can't get to the walls, then just add a trebuchet to the game

Admittedly I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere (I guess it wouldn't surprise me if it isn't, and that should probably be fixed)

Documenting all the game interface would benefit the game massively. I mean, documenting it publicly. The game part that's supposed to be explored by players is a game world, not a game interface.

And so that you won't find yourself in the position "I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere" which is not good for any development, I believe.

Yes. Proper documentation of the game UI is a must. There was an attempt at it with "Help" section in the game menu, but it was abandoned quickly .

Even a simple static page listing all keybinds (or at least what actions are possible in what mode), and a guide explaining interface interactions with items, player and world will be good. Not only for a new players, but also for returning and maybe even veterans.

True. @jorb, @loftar pls fix.

considering that the people building the wall have to make that cliff for the entire wall and the attacking team must "only" ramp up to one part of it to break it I don't really see that as an issue yet. And besides, wouldn't it be possible to use a catapult to bring down the wall no matter if it stood on a cliff or not? A genuine question since I don't siege and never have.

Long story short:
Battering Ram can only smack walls
Archery Tower can shoot sieging engines (BRam, Catapult)
Catapult can only shoot Catapults and Archery Towers( I think? maybe BRams too? Idk I don't live in a basement)

In regards to sieging I mean. Catapults can smack knarrs too afaik (tho I remember they said it was BRams that should be able to do that, but they aren't)
