Update 0.9.015

To allow your tower to shoot at attacking and other aggressive mobs, the towers must be build and have over 90% health. If the castle health drops below 90% the towers cease fire. 

You can use various weapons depending on the tower type.
Wooden Towers - Crossbow only.
Clay Towers - Crossbow and Ballista.
Stone Towers - Crossbow, Ballista or a Tower Mortar.
You’ll have to place weapons for each tower, as shown in the picture - both left and right towers, or else only the one equipped with everything required will shoot at the enemies.

We’ve introduced 3 tower turrets that can be crafted at the Sawmill,
1. Crossbow - fires any arrows.
2. Ballista - fires boulders (boulders can also be crafted at the Sawmill)
3. Tower Mortar - fires any cannon balls.
And yes, from now on, blizzard does not affect the speed of your character. Now it’s simply a natural phenomenon :)

We are still working on the game’s features and polishing the details. The localization of new terms is still in progress, so please be warned there may be some minor unlocalized texts. Soon you will find out more about the new features and gameplay mechanics. New NPCs are also in development. 

Another interesting feature that we’re about to launch in the game is the day and night cycle.

Thank you for your patience,
Ellada Games Team
