    There is so much goodies in this build that I can wait to play it with the public! Here's what we have in this latest installation of King Arthur's Gold:

    Every material now (wood, stone, gold, bombs and arrows) are physical game objects inside the game. This means you can:

    drop them (or use momentum to throw across walls) (default key [C])
    pick them up
    healing heart can be picked up with [E] if you don't use it

    So no more lost gold after being gibbed! But there's more:

    Presenting...

    the Human Catapult!

    I think it is obvious what to do with this. You'll need a teammate to help launch you. Just watch out because long falls will cause falling damage or death.

    Default key for loading catapult has changed to the drop key [C] !

    Besides these features there are dozens of tweaks, changes and BUG FIXES. Worth mentioning are:

    screen shake and blink (to notify you got damaged or killed)
    kill messages (now you know who killed you!)
    new charge cursors
    bouncing off walls for even more fun knight combat
    shield pushing gives sound feedback and works a lot better

    Please read the changelog for a complete overview.

    "bouncing off walls for even more fun knight combat"

    Why did you think we had that much fun being tossed around like a pinball in the first place? This is even worse!

    But the rest of the changes are awesome thankyou!

    Apart from the distracting screen blink.

    Loving the changelog, although I vote for the blink being reduced or optional.

    I love the new update!!!

    Being hurled into the battlefield and landing on some poor knight's head, killing him is a great feeling. Very few games can make you feel this awesome.

    And bouncing off wall saved me from falling into a spike trap a few times so I am for it ;)

    Hmm, I'm NOT a fan of the fact that a lightweight archer can jump on me and hurt me... that's just not fair.

    Archers can jump off arrows like a fairy and seemingly turn into a cannonball at the same time. Hmm :d

    Very nice but its strange, i mean it looks like everyone would have hacks, movement and combat changed too. Anyway, maybe the next fix update will solve all those little bugs.

    Also, I think he meant the sound when you die, its a bit disturbing if you ask me. Plus, sometimes when you fall the char does a lound creepy sound, that should also get changed, if it didnt already. :D

    The "was pushed to death" message is a bit annoying. As a builder I can simply jump on a knight and they die, or they run up and tap me and I fall over dead. Seems like a lot of random deaths are happening now. Other than that, love the new build.

    Couple minutes passed,all servers are full!
    But on one server,there is still one slot free!!!
    I just joined at the end of round,and new one will begin!
    Round started and warmup time did not count to zero,so we started to build!
    No one can join us,someone said,so we will not get fresh blood till the end of battle!
    This is how it looked like...
    [​IMG]

    I was on my way towards high ground!
    I need to find a good spot so i can build catapult!There is no knight so strong that can take down that massive castle!
    [​IMG]

    Almost on top!Everything is clear on our side!
    I have no fear!
    [​IMG]

    I reach the top and someone is already there...but he is too low and far!
    Knights are rushing down and protecting us from red beasts!
    I made a new catapult and one of knights said to me;"I`l go in,you just fire!Did you hear me!?!?"
    I looked at him,thinking about what he said...What the hell,it is his life..not mine...
    He jumped in catapult and said;"Boy,don`t be afraid and pu..."..and he was in the air!
    [​IMG]

    Moments after i pulled that handle,knight was like a bird,high in the air!
    Everyone stopped!
    "What,someone shoot knight at tower?" was in every ones head!
    Yes...i did!And he was almost there!!!Can`t believe he will make it!
    [​IMG]

    Buuuut,he did`t...
    He died from huge fall....Bad luck i guess.
    [​IMG]

    So i tried whit a builder!He was in the air!It looked good this time!
    [​IMG]

    Buuut,nooot really...Cmon,i had some dust in my eyes...It is war ffs!
    [​IMG]

    So i made a longer bridge!I had too!So i started building,finished it,made catapult and first knight landed safe on enemy side!
    [​IMG]

    You will figure out the rest...
    [​IMG]
