Development News #90 — Rob the Shoveler!

Hey, Feudalists!

Today we would like to tell you about an exciting new feature we are going to add to the game soon!
It is a new area called the Influence Zone. In these new zones, guilds will have special permissions - the ability to destroy any object that is placed on Personal claims (including the monument) or even the Guild claims of tier 1 monuments (including the city claim and the monument itself).
The Influence Zone is the circle with the monument in the center and the radius depends on its level: I - 35, II - 60, III - 120, IV - 150. Influence zones will be visible in this special mode (similar to the claim overlay) and will affect objects that have the "Inspect" ability.

We also want to take this time to share and show just how vast and special - in a multitude of ways - our community is!
Today we want to focus on an awesome Italian Community, ‘Badilanti’ (The Shovel Users), which was born while playing Life is Feudal: Your Own. They particularly like the terraforming part of the game (which, we’re gonna assume, is where their name came from!). They have always kept faith in our project, helped significantly with the Italian translations and have also introduced many new players to the Life is Feudal universe; a genuinely helpful and awesome community!

However, we are deeply saddened to say that the founder of Badilanti has recently passed away. The community have asked for our help to honor his memory.

His nickname was Rob.

Thus, included with the upcoming patch, we are pleased to welcome a new mythological character into the Life is Feudal Lore - Rob the Shoveler! You can read more about him here.  Make sure to build his idol not far from your castle or mines to make sure that he is never forgotten.

Stay tuned for more news!
