Is it backwards compatable with 15? I am at work so I cant check it out at the moment
it is indeed! although @sdee mentioned on the stream that there might be a few problems…
edit:
just finished reading the release notes, and this is what it had to say about loading old saves,
[quote] - If you’re loading a save from a previous Alpha, you may receive an errormessage that the basic shield does not exist. You can ignore this safely.
- If you’re loading a save from a previous Alpha, and your Footmen were already equipped with steel armor, they will continue to wear it (though in new games, Footmen cannot equip this heavy armor). It’s a loophole. Enjoy it.
[/quote]
also i should note if you’re playing with mods there as a chance that those mods won’t work with the new version

Wow. Super Extra Unstable Combat++. That’s almost as many modifiers as Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars.
Well, almost.

Welp, it’s been about 4 alphas since i’ve seen one of these…
Now i’ve got two!
Gotta say, 3 level 6 footman, 3 newbie footman, and a cleric… still lost a high level footman to 2 kobolds and 2 orcs. Ouchies.
Nice work, Radiant!

It was a backwards compatibility save so I was trying to level newbie footmen to level 3 so I could make a knight.
@solus I tried to do the same, but starting off with 30 hearthlings with nothing but footmen was really hard, hard to the point where I couldnt survive anything it seemed not enough to level up x.x

@Simica_Na Yeah, it’s really tough with just footmen. Which is great! I’ve seen a marked improvement just adding a cleric so far.
