Version: 1.0.20, The Little Things, Published on: Jul 10 2021

Small changes.

  • Crafting Information Page and Enchanting Information Page have had their tables updated.
    • On crafting you can select the type.
    • On Both you can see the Skill Level Required and Skill Level Trivial.
  • Minor Help documentation updates around settings and crafting.
  • Items will now show proper % for stats.

Version: 1.0.19, Minor Fixes and Market Changes, Published on: Jul 07 2021

Nothing major just some small changes:

  • Market Board History Chart can now also be shown by time. That is you can select 24 Hours, 1 Day, 1 Week or 1 Month from the "Show history for last?" drop down button on all history charts.

  • Market board now default to showing the last 24 hours worth of sales instead of all sales.

  • Adventure name fixed on the completed page.

  • Items total stats are now formatted and show not show 5.48674596874596847569% for example. instead it should just be 5%.

Version: 1.0.18, Kingdoms and overuse of resources, Published on: Jul 02 2021

This update is minor and brings with it a couple changes:

  • For the admin: The market statistics chart works - yay!

Kingdoms

  • Kingdom buildings for upgrading and rebuilding will now disable the buttons before posting the data to the server. This should stop the upgrade issue of overusing resources.
  • Same thing for units and unit recruitment.
  • Unit recruitment now has some tool tips you can hover over to explain more about population cost and such.

Market Place

  • Buy and sell now show loaders.

Items/Affixes

  • Items and affixes are now properly capped.
  • Items costing more then 5k wont drop from mobs.
  • Affixes costing more then 1k each wont drop from mobs.

But creator, I just a got a drop valued at 700k+

The way the random item builder works, is it cycles through items and appropriate affixes. We only create a new item if an item with the affix doesn't already exist, if it does we might replace it. So over time the system will clean it's self up in regards to the prices of affixes currently.

Version: 1.0.17, Stop selling your equipped items on the market board., Published on: Jun 29 2021

That's it. That's all this fixes.

  • Equipped enchanted items can no longer be sold via the market board.

Version: 1.0.16, Nothing Special, Published on: Jun 24 2021

  • Admin section can now export and import skills. Extreme caution as jobs are not run when importing, so users will not be updated. This is only for setting up the game.
  • Other minor bits and bobs I released last night after 1.0.15

See? Nothing special.

Version: 1.0.15, Attack Formula Changes Pt. 2, Published on: Jun 22 2021

Phew, we did it. We changed the attack formula.

  • When Attacking (Can you hit?): (attacker.base_stat + Math.round(attacker.dex / 2)) * attackerAccuracy;
  • When A Monster is Attacking you (Can Hit? Dodge): (defender.base_stat + Math.round(defender.dex / 2)) * defenderDodge;

To block, its AC > Base Stat

This should fix issues with attacking and with adventures. Your gear does matter.

  • Shields no longer provide stat bonuses, instead they provide base defence modifiers.
  • New Skills: Fighters Resilience (max level 999, max skill bonus 25%, affects: Attack Timer (-25% at max level))
  • Training Skills are now max level 999, they have had their percentages adjusted appropriately.
  • Slight monster tweaks.

Version: 1.0.14, Market Changes, Published on: Jun 21 2021

Market board now uses the api to post items to it, this will allow users to make 100 posts per minute.

  • Market board also shows base item cost.
  • When clicking on a item on the market board it will now show you a percentage of above or below base cost value.
  • New Affixes, Affix level adjustments.

Version: 1.0.13, The never ending song of bugs., Published on: Jun 19 2021

This one brings a few minor changes such as:

  • Players who settle 100 kingdoms will trigger a global message
  • Players who settle 500 kingdoms will trigger a better message.
  • Players who settle 1000 kingdoms will trigger the best of all messages. (Don't go looking through the source and spoil it >.>)

Finally! Skill xp is fixed. The earing of it, in relation to bonuses towards xp from items, adventures, so on and so forth.

  • Speaking of which, characters who are not new to the game:

On your next level of your current skill, your xp required to level it will be smaller. New players will see this automatically. It's still a grind, but a manageable grind.

Enemy Kingdoms

So those red enemy kingdoms? Click it. Now I show the name and the morale. Wait.....Did the morale just change? Yup. All enemy kingdoms morale is visible and live updating for every one.

  • Finally, settlers are fixed. When attacking kingdoms with settlers, it did nothing. This has been fixed.

If the morale is > 0, the kingdom looses 10%. Else, we take it. That means a kingdoms morale HAS to be zero for your to take it with your next settler.

  • Market shop should give you some more lee way with the throttle before timing you out.
  • Tables will now set you back to page one when searching and filtering.

Please Creator, we beg of you ..

I have heard you. Go to your inventory child and click on the check boxes.

Creator, is that ....

Yes my child. mass destroy

  • Ahem, mass destroy is now a thing for inventory. This will not destroy currently equipped or quest items, but will destroy everything else.

  • Map dragging issues fixed, sort of, at various screen sizes. If you have issues, post screen res and issue in bug section on discord.

  • Recruitment input for recruiting units is better looking.

Version: 1.0.12, Balancing Phase 2, Published on: Jun 18 2021

This one consists of fixes to the mechanics of battle. While the battle formula will change in 1.1.0, this change removes affixes that grant bonuses to skill training. Instead now you would equip relics.

All affixes have been rebalanced as well as artifacts.

Monsters have also been balanced in a way that uses your level and your equipment. while yes this does make it more of a grind, that is - essentially what - Tlessa is. You are grinding for those drops, you are grinding for those levels, you are grinding for that gear, you are grinding for that gold. You never stop grinding, when you get sick of it - you go on adventures.

Some people have asked: What's the point of this game? What do I do? And I get that, it can be frustrating. It's a game of mindless grind, you chat to people on line or in discord while you grind, you settle kingdoms to get gold essentially. The more you have, the more gold you make per day:

  • Kingdoms now give 1000 gold/hr if the morale is above 50%. else it's 100 gold per hour.

The other idea was to give meaning to the grind, so now you have drops that fall, its with enchantments. Players before were not using crafting or enchanting or caring about them. Because of the drops.

  • Drops have been nerfed and only specific items and affixes of a specific price may drop in battle or adventure.

I wanted players to feel the achievement of crafting better and better gear and enchanting it. Of feeling the satisfaction of listing it in market and selling it. I mean it cost them a lot of gold to make, so why shouldn't they be rewarded that lucky button click.

  • When enchanting, you will see all the available enchantments and their cost in game. If you try to craft a really expensive one - you will fail. Why? You're level is not high enough. Consult the help information for more info under the crafting and enchanting section.

Lets discuss monsters.

The idea is simple: You work your way down the monster list till you reach the last one, then you (assuming you found the Key of the Labyrinth) go to the labyrinth - and fight those monsters as they get even more harder.

Tlessa right now doesn't have the gear or affixes for you to kill, say a Beholder, in the labyrinth. More will be added.

Right now a fully decked out character in the most expensive gear, with no affixes - at level 1000 - can kill Jester of Beleth.

With affixes on top of that gear - which won't drop, but can be bought and crafted - you should be able to make it roughly half way down the monster list in Labyrinth, maybe a little further.

It's simple: You grind for levels, you grind for gold, you grind your skills, you sell, you barter, you wage war, you fight (coming soon). That is what Tlessa and her monsters are about. The slow monotonous (free) grind.

The idea is you work your way down slowly. getting new gear, trying new things. Going on adventures, so on and so forth. People were going way to fast. And that's not what I wanted at all. So I fixed it such that monsters stats are relative to not just your gear, but also your level. Remember you get 2 points in your base damage stat and 1 in everything else, every time you level.

Monsters do have accuracy, and now you have a reason to train that skill, but they also have dexterity. So it's important to mind both.

  • Affixes around skills have been removed. Now it's artifacts that do it, and they will not drop off enemies and you cannot enchant them.

This patch also does fix some other issues such as the refresh loop. Which should not happen any more. Instead you should see the proper time out modal.

This patch also fixes kingdoms to be the proper color for you.

There's some other bits and pieces in here, and more will come - but this was vital. Having a well balanced game is important, and while yes the formula does favour accuracy, again the formula is for phase three in 1.1.0

Version: 1.0.11, Balancing Changes, Published on: Jun 16 2021

This patch begins a small cycle of balancing that will happen. First lets talk about whats changed:

  • Maps should be draggle all the way (and then a little bit depending on display size) to the right on all screen sizes that you can drag the map on.
  • Skill XP has been changed, now its 350-700 (trainable), 350-900 (crafting/enchanting)

New players will see the Skill changes, existing players will see it after they level a skill if they have any left to level.

  • Items that cost less then 1million gold can drop with affixes that also cost less then 1 million gold.

This was causing a "too soon, too fast" issue with expensive items dropping having expensive affixes attached.

You can still buy the more expensive from the shop, but to get the better affixes you need to enchant them by training your enchanting to unlock new enchants.

Right now there is an issue with monster stats and item stats being out of sync, this gets fixed with data imports that have to be modified after this release.
