MadSheepStudios Nice!

 

[MadSheepStudios]

Thanks Infinitron !

Just a bit curious - where did you get it? It's a May 2020 magazine?
Also, on that azure background, below the title, they state it is a "Real-time strategy" ? Hmm.. that should be fixed to turn-based, right?

 

[Reinhardt]

Wait, it's rts now?

This monochromatic palate stuff needs to die. Its all shades of the color vomit, really hurts the eyes. Good luck finishing your game.

Progress (Conquest) update
Conquest mode, new faction and new battle mechanics.

Hello everyone!

We’ve been very busy the last two weeks with the new Conquest campaign map, and Urtuk’s new faction – the Forsaken.

We’re still working on the final design, and the Conquest campaign will likely go through many iterations until we can offer the best possible experience for the player.

This new mode features vastly different gameplay from the default campaign. The biggest changes are that you can field up to 12(!) units on the battlefield; capture and exploit sites like camps and fortresses; hire new mercs; manage more resources; and defend your holdings against other hostile factions with the same goal as the player – to seize every site on the world map. Furthermore, you’ll be able to build new structures on the world map like barricades and strongholds. You can also acquire metal from mines and craft gear for your conscripts, villagers who’ve enlisted to serve you.

Medicine will be a very scarce resource in this mode, so be prepared for men under your command to die. You will have a tough (and fun) time in this War of The Realms.

Spoiler

New battle mechanics

We listened to player feedback regarding ranged enemies, and decided to introduce a new counter to ranged attacks: a new trait, Deflection, that nullifies incoming projectiles!
Use any unit with this trait to shield your weaker characters, and arrows fired their way will vanish into oblivion! Of course, certain parameters must be met for a successful deflection, like elevation, range, necessary stamina, and projectile trajectory. Some enemies will also enjoy this advantage, so be wary!

Furthermore, we created a new hex tile, High Grass. Enemies firing at units in High Grass will suffer a -50% hit chance.

Forsaken

This hostile faction lives deep underground, and consists of warriors long dead and forgotten. Many ages ago during the Giant Wars, they were fearless, elite fighters. But after the war ended, the commoners feared their great strength and murderous rage in combat. So it was decided they would be cast out into the Deep Abyss. There they lived in darkness for centuries, and eventually died out altogether. But thanks to an unknown Mutation these ancients rose again, as undead but still intelligent warriors. Now they turn their rage on any who aren’t their own kin!

Visuals for 4 of the 6 Forsaken classes are already done, but class details (abilities, traits, strengths, weaknesses) are still being fleshed out.

We also want the Forsaken to be a bit more challenging than other factions, so hopefully we’ll be able to finish their formation AI in time for release. Programming AI is always one of the most difficult tasks in a strategy game.

That’s it for this update!
Stay well and stay tuned for more!

Progress update
New characters' banners, The Chasm and The Forsaken

Hello all,

for the past weeks we've done a good progress on new features and this is what you can expect in the following weeks to come:

The Forsaken

All graphical assets for the new faction are finished. Once the last 2 characters are animated, we'll be ready to set them loose in the world of Urtuk! These formidable warriors will pose a significant threat to your party. The Forsaken have special traits not accessible to other factions. They also use advanced tactics and will attack in formation, so don't underestimate them!

New biome and 4th zone - The Chasm

We have a new zone in the works - The Chasm
This biome will be used for the new 4th zone where the Forsaken make their dismal home. There are still a few outstanding mechanics and hazardous environmental features to implement before the battle maps are 100% ready.


Unit banners

In response to a frequent player request, you can now customize the appearance of your units on the battlefield. If you field multiple units from the same class, the ability to add banners will give you a clear overview of who’s who. On the party screen, you’ll have the option to equip every character with a banner, or just leave him without one if you prefer. We're also preparing editing tools so you can craft your own banners and import them into Urtuk!

Conquest mode

Conquest mode is still in active development while we refine the core mechanics and make sure everything’s balanced for a challenging player experience (which takes time of course). But we’re getting there. Anyone interested in playtesting Conquest mode can opt-in to our beta branch and play it right now! Your feedback is highly appreciated and will help us shape the best possible game for public release.
If interested, head to our steam forum to find out how to play it:

that's it for now!

MadSheepStudios shall i be the first to remind you crossbows are fired horizontally ?

Not that they don't look good but i'm sure you're not going to hear the end of it ...

 

[Dickie]

The game is a lot of fun, but is there a good way to get new weapons? Some of my guys are still using rusty stuff on the second map, while other guys have legendary silver equipment. Is it intentional that you only find a few weapon types? I've found five legendary two-handed swords and three legendary crossbows, but I have yet to find a one-handed sword, maul, or axe better than plain steel. Do they even exist?

Even with a terrible axe, the bounty hunter axeman tears shit up with mansplitter.

My guardian (sword and shield guy) struggles to keep up with everybody XP-wise. He mostly knocks things into holes to kill them, which doesn't seem to give very much or any XP. I don't have the little pop-ups I saw in a video that show when you gain XP. I try killing stuff with his sword, but his damage is just too puny. Shielding people also doesn't seem to grant XP, but I have no way to know.

I really like how the classes are different, and I often find myself missing a class I don't have in a fight, especially the warmonk, guardian, and priest.

Never tried the bounty Hunter Axeman but it seems he's a Bloodknight.
Piercing armor aside, they're killing machines.

As for the guardian, i have no trouble leveling them in the recent builds, just use them as OS lethal weapons when they don't have to protect your damage dealer, you push an enemy into a deadly pit, next ... And you can push them one or two squares, depending on the skill used ...
And they get xp for guarding adjacent allies.
Also, you can send the ones that are a little behind in training once you get some booze.

Does the blood knight get mansplitter as a normal ability? This dude walks around one-shotting dudes with his constant 250% damage output from using mansplitter every turn and having some focus critical attacks ready for him. When everyone else is doing 100 damage, he's doing 500 damage and demolishing armor. My bloodknights were kinda mediocre, but maybe I didn't level them enough. I ended up dropping them all from the roster when I found this guy fairly early in the game.

I do use them to push people into pits whenever possible, but I don't think they get as much XP for doing that as they would for killing stuff. Maybe my problem is that he's still using a steel sword. I don't think he's useless, by any means, or I wouldn't have him on the team. He's good at stunning people by pushing them into walls when you can't push them into a hole or using his bash and move to get an enemy out of flanking position and protect that flank. I gave him light foot, so he can swap places with my guys as a free action and still bash or shield allies.

He's really good at his role of guarding people, but that just doesn't give the XP of killing dudes. He's one to three levels behind everybody else. Maybe he's an alcoholic, so I should be giving him all the booze to keep his level up. The hunter with range support gets around five times as many attacks as everyone else and I keep finding legendary crossbows, so of course the hunter is leaving everyone else in the dust.

Are you sure ?
Is it not high focus or something giving him access of this ability this often, i assume he's high level.

In some tough fights, i remember my low focus (but high AGI) BloodKnight having mansplitter ready every turn or so but it's much slower otherwise.

I gave him light foot, so he can swap places with my guys as a free action and still bash or shield allies.

I did too, lightfoot + stalwart and i wanted to give him poison res next, i think.
Didn't figure out how some mercs can absorb 3 mutators and others only 2 (or even one if i remember correctly).
You're right, i don't think it gives as much xp but my guardians were not behind (i have two as i got a high level one and i switch when one is recovering from a wound) but i got two good swords early so there's that and the sub trains to keep up.

It's always ready, from his very first turn. I just checked the wiki and there's a note next to the bounty hunter (axe) that says it's a normal ability for the bounty hunter (axe) and an overfocus ability for the bloodknight. My current run would be a lot harder if I hadn't found this guy so early. Then again, I'd be using the snazzy legendary two-handed swords I've found if I stuck to bloodknight.

One interesting thing about the assassin is that the person he's flanking with seems to get at least one level of Brother in Arms every time he does his double attack. Since he seems to double attack twice a lot, he teaches people that skill very quickly.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Good to know, might be an interesting one to level up and save for tough fights, so far, it's the right amount of challenge without it.

I really want to use an assassin but i would need a 7th spot, Guardian, Bloodknight, javelin, crossbow, priest and warmonk is my dream team, i can't get over replacing any of them.
Only used him on a rescue mission and then a bit when the warmonk was wounded, he's interesting but i prefer to jump around, stun things and self-aegis, a fast warmonk is really good ...

 

[Dickie]

I started over because Urtuk as a priest is a disaster once he gets some bad mutations, like the one that makes you lose half your HP at the start of a fight.

I just went with the first six unique classes I found, so I'm running Hunter, Spearman, Footman, Bloodknight, Priest, and Assassin.

The assassin out-damages my bloodknight by a fairly wide margin. Being able to move again after you kill stuff really helps him stay healthy, too. Getting in a flanking position and attacking 3-5 times (and triggering two ranged supports) is just insane, especially with bleeding on the target, which he often does on the first attack.

Of course, I can't find any good two-handed swords this game, so the bloodknight is getting screwed by that and it makes him look worse than he probably is. I haven't seen my bloodknight get three kills in three turns yet.

The footman is OK, but the "best" move for him often puts him in very dangerous situations where he's surrounded. If he can catch a ranged guy out by himself, though, that guy is 200% locked down. Being able to push stalwart enemies is pretty nice, though. His reach weapon gimmick is kinda lame. I think that reach should let you attack up or down an extra elevation or maybe negate the penalty for attacking up one elevation. Maybe I just don't play him right, but he kinda seems like the weakest of the base human classes.

I'd probably ditch the footman for a warmonk, at this point, to get my assassin some easier flanks.

The enemies give the spearman such a wide berth that he doesn't get to do the free attacks too much, but keeping the enemies out of an area is often useful on its own. It does hurt his XP a bit because I often don't want to move him adjacent to an enemy to attack.

 

[Darth Canoli]

I find the footman only interesting in fortress assaults or when facing stalwart enemies because ram is the only way to push them.

I used the spearman quite a bit in previous builds, even a monster version, the latter was quite the beast but the regular footman is too defensive or not enough for my liking so he's often not that useful.

Besides damage, which the Bloodknight is very good at (he was nerfed, he was twice more deadly in earlier versions and so were the ranged units), he can jump attack to a target 3 tiles away, which is very useful.

A Guardian with high AGI will just block everything coming at your damage dealer as long as he stays close and with the protector perk, he'll also protect adjacent units later on.

Boss update is LIVE!

Here we go, we’re proud to release this “new content” update with lots of stuff in, mainly:

– 5 new bosses (with unique visuals, boss mechanics, unique map and special reward for each boss)
– 2 new starting factions: Swampers and Beasts
– several new battle objectives (village fights, missions, etc..)

We have introduced end zone bosses for each zone: with that you have to fight a unique grand boss before you can proceed to next zone.
Also, there are optional grand bosses roaming in the world of Urtuk and you might find clues how to reveal them!
Each boss comes with its very specific mechanics, and it is up to the player to figure out, what works best.
After defeating him, you will obtain a unique item which will add new game mechanics to your run!
For example, with the “Death Stone”, you can kill any of your party member and extract almost any of its traits (even if it’s non extractable after a normal battle).

We also listened to you players and your feedback and suggestions and made a big list of changes and improvements (HUGE thank you!).

Let’s summarize all of it in the changelog:

Unfortunately there are so many changes, improvements and additions in the campaign, that we could not make your current version of Urtuk compatible with the “Boss update” .
But fear not, as always, I’ll keep also the previous version in steam as an optional branch – so you can select it and continue playing your current run!

Enjoy!

David

Unfortunately, this version is not save compatible and will break your current saves. But fear not!
You can still continue playing your current run, just opt-in into “Betas” from steam app, and select the ‘steam – 0.87.07’ version from the selection of versions.

Thanks a lot for all your support and feedback!
