The developers of turn-based strategy Songs of Conquest rolled out a new update 0.87, making great progress on the previously shared roadmap.
“Version 0.87 gives you a whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements, making sure that things are starting to reach the quality we want before reaching 1.0. For example, we are now introducing an improved version of our sim-turns, making sure it’s more dynamic and tactical than ever before. We have also, thanks to our amazing community, identified and taken care of a bunch of bugs, so thank you for reporting them!”
The basic approach to sim-turns is that the developers want as many players to play simultaneously as possible. That said, the team still wants to avoid situations where players would benefit by doing something as quickly as possible (for instance frantically buying all the troops your coffers can afford before the other player has the time to click to attack).
The game also received a lot of multiplayer fixes, making sure that there will be way fewer disconnects by reducing the amount of traffic sent during an online game. Another new thing is the option of replacing any team with a human or an AI when loading a multiplayer game. The AI is also getting better with every update and will be further polished all the way until launch.
