In addition, we've done a pass to tighten up the graphics on Mortal Visuals.
Finally, we're nearing work on the fifth Mortal Race and wanted to hear your suggestions before we start!
Today's Content Update
Cloaks
Cloaks are the hottest new trend sweeping the Land of Noberia!
Now that they've hit the shores, everyone wants to get their hands on one, and they're in luck - there are 4 tiers to choose from so there rae plenty to go around!
The Poor Cloak
The Poor Cloak is a great starter Cloak, pretty easy to Craft. It'll provide a little Prestige, some Warmth, and the Gods may even grant it a Buff or two.
The Modest Cloak
Modest Cloaks are great for those Kingdoms that have gotten up and running and can start pushing a bit further. More Prestige, more Warmth, more Buffs!
The Martial Cloak
Martial Cloaks are most like those that you'd see in the famous series [strike]REDACTED[/strike](tm). Even more Prestige, Warmth, and Buffs! They're preferred by Orcs and Dwarves.
The Royal Cloak
Finally, we have the Royal Cloak. Just look at this thing!
Every ruler and their Brother will be fighting to get their hands on one. They're dripping with regality. The most Prestige, Warmth, and Buffs!
Dwarves and Orcs generally don't love these ones.
Refined Mortal Visuals
We've continued the work of dialing in the Mortal Visuals with the goal of finding the right balance between variety, endearment, and goofiness.
Work during this pass primarily centered on identifying and reducing the goofy factor and fine tuning color ranges - especially for Orc Skin. The scientists determined that 25% was the right amount of goofiness - down from the previous 50%.
In addition, we've corrected the oversight that prevented Orcs from being Bald. This was very important!
If you prefer your Mortals goofy, the Visual Extremes Slider has been renamed to Visual Goofiness and you can fine tune it to your heart's content in the Game Options.

The Next Mortal Race...
We're ready to start work on the fifth Mortal Race and wanted to include you in the process!
We're looking for a race that will fit into all the existing systems (and clothes!). It'd be cool if they fit around a feature in the game offering a chance to flesh it out further (ala the Dwarves and Mining). Ideally, we'd avoid stepping on the toes of any of the existing Race Mods.
Who is this?
