Guild Influence Zones, Unit and Heraldry Banners and More! (0.11.12.2)

We’re implementing a long-awaited Influence Zone system!
In short, this means that Tier 3 and Tier 4 Guild Monuments will have an increased zone of influence around monuments. All Private claims, and even Tier 1 monuments, can be destroyed during JH if they are within an Influence Zone. This mechanic was designed primarily to combat troll Tier 1 claims and Private claims.

A Lesser Instanced Battle Totem is also introduced in this patch - It is cheaper, battle size is limited to 50 vs 50 players per battle, the losing side will only lose 5 tiles of Realm claim radius if defeated.

We have implemented a solution for those who want to show off their cool looking premium armor skins and also be easily identifiable as a friend or foe on the battlefield. This solution is a Banner that you can now equip in the tabard slot in your equipment! Make sure to check premium skin options - unit leaders will be more visible for their unit members to see so there will be a tiny bit less chaos and confusion on the battlefield.

Patch Notes (ver. 0.11.12.2):

New Features and Tweaks:

• Implemented Guild Influence zone
• Implemented a Lesser Battle Totem
• Losing an instanced battle will now inflict a 10 tiles radius loss (5 for a mini/lesser IB)
• Implemented new type of tabard - a Heraldry banner
• Repair kits are 2x more effective on buildings and 4x more effective on crafting buildings
• Resurrection sickness is now twice as long. Healing effect duration is shorter now. It is better to heal yourself now rather than dying.
• Trade Posts are available to everyone now. If you want to restrict the usage of the Trade Post - surround it with gates and walls.
• Demolition skill should no longer level up while shooting at Archery Target with non-siege damaging projectiles
• Removed excessive additional damage dealt to training targets
• Skill will no longer raise if a Gathering attempt fails. Implemented to counter certain exploits near the server nodes borders.
• Horses will suffer from falling damage now
• Added working recipes for Naphtha barrel trebuchet ammo and tweaked its damage
• Workshops and Kitchen buildings should give a 20% bonus to the quality of items crafted. Maximum quality that can be achieved this way is capped by the real value of the skill of the crafter.
• “Destroy” ability should no longer be the default/first selected ability in the context menu. This should minimize the amount of accidental deletion of buildings. In order for this change to take effect you should delete the \game\%region%\data\DefaultAbilities.xml file. Though it will remove all your previously set default actions.
• Fixed and tweaked names and availability of Platemail premium skins
• Added missing Novice Padded Helm skin
• Corrected door frames inside the Big Plaster House model
• Moved some ground tile abilities of the context menu into a submenu “Look for”

Bug Fixes and Optimizations:

• Fixed all known issues of terrain that had rips/holes
• A client side crash involving server border crossings is fixed
• Fixed an incorrect display of horses’ maturity
• Fixed a server node crossing bug that would reduce a cart’s durability to zero, making it vulnerable to destruction
