The Combat Update is now live!

This new update aims to make combat a more violent and enjoyable experience.

New Features:

-Weapons are now solid.
-FX has been added to all impacts. So if you hit a wooden shield with a metal sword, it looks and sounds like it.
-Humanoid enemies can be chopped up! If you strike hard enough on a limb, that limb will be cut off. Heavier weapons dismember limbs more easily.
-Humanoid units ragdoll when they die. You can stab a weapon into a ragdoll, and the ragdoll will stick to your weapon (can be a useful body shield when charging archers).
-Background music has been added. When you are in combat the peaceful music fades into combat music. Music volume can be adjusted in the settings menu.
-Your controller should vibrate when you hit objects with your weapon.
-If you hit an enemy's leg, they will fall to one knee.
-You now auto-run, no need to hold the sprint button anymore.

Changes:

-You can now create the archery range and blacksmith buildings by default
-Enemies with shields now track your weapon much slower.
-Enemies with shields have less time between consecutive attacks.
-You can now block with any weapons (even bows). Though the block talents only affect shields.
-Enemy blood has been updated to look more realistic
-Grabbed items are now PID controlled.
-Human units are increased food upkeep. So you will need more farms to support your army.
-Random gen village difficulty is now a function of player level, the number of buildings the player has, and distance from the start zone.
-Enemy buildings now generate fewer units.
-Player now only gets 5 stamina and health from each level.
-Bows have been nerfed. Arrow damage is now proportional to the square of pull percentage (how far back you have pulled your arrow).
-Some changes to the polearm tree. Notably, polearms now have a bleed effect.

Note on backward compatibility:
This update should be fully compatible with previous versions. Unit upkeep has been increased though, so you may need more farms in your old saves.
