Following our bi-yearly release schedule, with a couple of months late, we're pleased to release version 0.6!  

This release includes an improvement to the pathfinding algorithm, a few new buildings, and military units that you can move around!   

New Buildings

• Wooden Perimeter Tower: A small wooden defensive tower.
• Wooden Defensive Tower: A large wooden defensive tower.
• Wooden Big Gate: A bigger kind of wooden gate.
• Pitch Rig: Small platform to collect pitch from the swamp. Swamp doesn't exist yet, so this is placeable anywhere for the moment.
• Apothecary: It creates a healer that wanders around. Has no effect for the gameplay at the moment.
• Stable: Produces horses. Not functional.
