RE: Militia removal
Hi, sorry much wasn’t said about this earlier.
Militia has been disabled for now. There was a bug that it caused in some other systems, which then lead to all of us having a design conversation looking deep within ourselves for whether the Militia system was the right solution for what it was trying to solve. The feature is not easily discoverable by new players and also not the easiest to use. For many players, I thinking having a footman for defense and having all noncombat citizens run to the banner and huddle for safety is the easiest to understand strategy. So its bugginess and not the greatest player experience led us to decide to disable it.
I understand there may be some players who relied on the Militia system and I am sorry for pulling it out from under you. Please give us feedback on what the Militia system meant to you and how you used it. We want to work towards making the combat system better and everyone’s feedback is very valuable in that process.
Thank you and apologies again.
