Battles and Sieges

- Added 23 new battle scenes for the more recognisable regions. This increases the current total count to 72. We are looking to further expand the pool of available scenes over time.
- Added a new Order of Battle system:
- A new deployment screen has been added which appears before every battle mission with at least 20 troops on the player’s side and if the encounter is not an offensive sally-out.
- Players can divide troops into different formations by troop type, using percentage sliders.
- Players can give preference to “Shield”, “Spear”, “Throwing” and “Heavy” troops in these formations with combinations of these filters (one or more filters can be enabled).

- The starvation penalty no longer uses (low) absolute numbers but percentages similar to mobile parties. Larger garrisoned forces will suffer more wounded troops due to starvation than smaller forces.
- Towns now show the food stored in their market to correctly indicate the amount of food left in the town, giving a better idea of when starvation will begin.
- Reworked the climbing of siege ladders and siege towers with ladders to fix issues such as:
- Not climbing some ladders/using only one ladder.
- The swarming and moshing at the base of three ladder siege towers.
- Agents pushing each other and getting stuck in gaps between ladders in siege towers.

- Attackers can no longer flee while they are using ladders and siege towers, or when they are on the castle walls. They’ll fight to the death.

- Added a game option “Slow Down While Giving Orders” that slows the game down by 75% while the player is giving orders.
- Allied units can now be issued commands while the enemy is retreating. When enemies start routing, around half of the units on the winning side start cheering (ally units that are least likely to reach the enemy units) while the rest continue to pursue the enemy. Any order from the player can cancel the cheering behaviour.
- Addressed an issue that prevented the retreat/done button on the scoreboard from being used while close to a fleeing enemy.
