Timbers of war

*** Very early version. Likely years from completion***

*loading a game or starting a new one takes several minutes. Loading the data from disk to create the world really needs to be optimized*

*save often, I've been working on stability recently but it's not perfect*

An ARPG that will include some survival and base building elements. 

Basic Controls:

- WASD to move

- click to attack and to harvest items (apples, raspberries)

- click on trees to cut them down, there is no animation for this yet, but if you keep clicking you will cut it down.

- clicking on an equipped item's picture will unequip it.

- right-clicking on food in your inventory will eat one peice of it, this is how you heal (there is a display on the bottom left of the screen for duration of the heal effect)

Unit control:

you can control friendly units.

- hold down CTRL key, hover mouse over a unit and press 1, 2, 3 or 4. This will assign the unit to this number. You can also un-assign them.

Town:

- you can build buildings in the town. at the start there is one building, the town centre. If you goto the (poorly drawn) table, face it, and press 'E' you can open up the towns inventory. All items the town produces end up here, and items the town consumes are taken from here.

- Buildings will require wood, gold and population. You can see how much is available to you buy opening the 'build' menu in the town.

- At present the town can produce wood and apples, by building the woodcutter and the apple orchard respectivly.

- towns need houses and food to grow. You can manually place food you find into the towns inventory, or you can build food producing buildings.

- If you contruct a barracks you can train soldiers. They require 500 gold and a free population each. face the townsperson in the parracks and press 'E' to open the menu to do this.

- Once soldiers are trained they will spawn at a guardhouse, max of 2 per guard house.

- guardhouses can be build outside of the town(but not in caves) and troops will spawn there, if available.
