Development notes, release changes and technical details I want to keep a record of.
- Cradlecrown v2.8: Every civilization gets a rule of its own 91 distinct civilization traits, clear percentage strengths and weaknesses, 273 reforms chosen by name, a single-panel civilization picker and a more reliable AI opening.
- Cradlecrown v2.7: A steadier interface and abilities you can see Fixed production queues and resource gauges, a correction to stacked movement bonuses, simpler civilization summaries and visible signature abilities on the battlefield.
- Cradlecrown v2.6: 91 civilizations, new buildings and a migration tutorial From v2.0 to v2.6: Europe, civilization traits and edicts, lasting reform rules, a twelve-chapter tutorial, redrawn production buildings and a new voiced trailer.
- Cradlecrown v2.5: A clearer interface and a guided migration Refined menus and match panels, a twelve-chapter tutorial following the Goths fleeing Hun raids, herald pennants for reforms and new ages, and fixes that make play smoother.
- Cradlecrown v2.4: Civilizations that play differently Civilization traits, selection edicts and lasting reform rules; settlements that begin with the town centre alone, an interface in earth and brass, and a detailed visitor panel.
- Cradlecrown v2.3: Understanding your civilization Civilization selection now explains strengths, drawbacks, signature troop rules and the legacy kept in later ages. The main menu also has a visitor count.
- Cradlecrown v2.2: Europe Two new regions, twenty-six new civilizations. From the Hallstatt Celts to Castile and from the Nordic Bronze Age to the Kalmar Union, each has its own soldiers, its own buildings, its own masterpiece and its own rule.
- Cradlecrown v2.1: A new interface Menus, match settings, the library and the in-match panels were redesigned from scratch. A portico with the Ishtar Gate's ornaments on the main menu, books bound by way of play in the library, and a plain, flat match interface.
- Cradlecrown v2.0: Every people in its own manner All 65 civilizations now have their own soldiers, their own architecture, their own walls and their real masterpiece. Signature units have abilities of their own; reforms got historical names and seals, the heritage window was rebuilt, and armies walk free.
- Cradlecrown v1.9: Night, rain, wounds and reforms A day and night cycle with rain, torches and night raids, soldiers who are wounded and treated in an infirmary, formations rewritten, living nature, and reforms in place of landmark studies.
- Cradlecrown v1.8: gates, order queues and repairs Gates that keep the enemy out, Shift-queued orders, orders from the minimap, building repairs, attack alerts, changes to how the maps look, and a new summary on the result screen.
- Cradlecrown v1.7: fonts, menus and tax morale The fonts I drew for Cradlecrown, revised selection and loading screens, the menu's day cycle, and a fix for how tax morale affects resource hauling.
- Cradlecrown v1.6: friends and a faster start A friends list, inviting friends to your room and a friends-only leaderboard; Reddit and Discord on your profile; Founder's Pack titles in matches; and a first download half the size.
- Cradlecrown v1.5: a new face A new logo with a civilization's masterpiece in every letter, cleaner civilization cards, a Treasury chest that fills with akçe, a library coloured by way of play and a tidier interface in matches.
- Cradlecrown v1.4: accounts, rankings and the Treasury Sign in with Google or e-mail, a profile with your match stats, a ranking of the best online players and per-match names. The Treasury is also open: you can support the game with the Founder's Pack.
- Age of Blocks is now Cradlecrown Age of Blocks is now called Cradlecrown. The game itself is unchanged; the name, crest and website are new.
- Age of Blocks v1.2: every unit and building redrawn I redrew the units and buildings, made the visual differences between civilizations clearer, changed how matches start and fixed the missing audio in the live build.
- Age of Blocks v1.1: a bookcase, new sound and a livelier menu I redesigned the Library, reworked the audio, expanded the single-player setup and updated the town in the main menu.
- Age of Blocks v1.0 is out The first major release of Cradlecrown: 65 civilizations, signature units, a tax system, performance improvements and a rebuilt interface.
