Medieval Villagers: Open Source Project Progress Log LAST UPDATED 05/03/19
____________________________________________________________________________________
Updated Map Description: You're a peasant, living in a dangerous medieval province. What will your story be? Become a champion in the Arena or a rich noble with your own village. Embark on an epic journey. History is in your hands, will you save the realm, or plunge it into chaos?
____________________________________________________________________________________
2019 Update: I have been thinking about picking this up again. There seemed to be moderate interest last year and there has been only one submission offering any kind of update for Medieval Villagers. My updates may be sporadic going forward but I will do my best to remain motivated to work on MV:OSP (especially hard when it comes to transcribing the whole thing to JASS) and keep everyone updated on how it's going. In any case, I won't be rushing out a release of MV:OSP - though some have asked for a release with the current changes - because I only want to release something that I know is the best quality and meets the community's standards. Thanks for your continued interest in MV:OSP. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in getting involved with this project.
Below are the completed changes for a tentative version 1.09. Please use this post to share any thoughts, suggestions, or known bugs to be corrected. I am actively seeking other modders to collaborate with on this project, if you're interested please get in touch with me. Watch this post for updates on the project's development. For general information about what Medieval Villagers is take a look at Sulfar's map page.

Priorities & Goals FOR VERSION 1.1
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
- Greatly increase the Lore of the Medieval Villagers world.
- More weapons and armor.
- Invasion Event: Save the realm from an Orc horde.
- Additional Specialization options for the Adventurer.
- Clean up path names. The Adventurer is sometimes called the Hero. The Landlord will be renamed the Noble.
- Rebalance the Thief and the Adventurer for late-game versus the Noble.
(a) More units and units that don't cost food. The Noble can support a large army late-game.
(b) Add a siege damage unit for the Thief and the Adventurer.
- Redesign and expand Lich event.
(a) Change abilities
(b) Add buildings?
- Add more depth to the Arena.
(a) Separate the Adventurer from the Arena. Refocus the Adventurer on completing quests in the wilderness.
(b) A new "path" called the Fighter, which focuses exclusively on the Arena.
- A replacement for the Dominion Event.
(a) Replace the game ending mechanic with a new Class called "the Usurper" for the player who takes the crown. This
player will have some similarity to the Landlord/Noble for income and special buildings/units to construct. They would fight against rebels who want to restore the old royal family.
(b) from Sulfar: Uprising Event - bandits will turn all people hostile to the King's forces. If they manage to defeat the King,
they will implement a democratic system creating a civil war between landlords/empire and the republic. The bandits will
have to vote for a president and the president will become a 4th class, simillar to the Landlord.
- A faction system, to allow selective village riots.
BUG FIXES
- Fix hunger versus thirst systems and make the system more user friendly.
- Replace GUI systems with JASS for scalability (ongoing).
- Set variables that are used multiple times to reduce function calls.
VISUAL CHANGES
- Redesign house interiors. Add house decor vendor.
- Greatly increase the Lore of the Medieval Villagers world.
- More weapons and armor.
