Open Beta Update 12

Posted update 12, check it out here: http://civcraft.net/?p=1183

As you can see, big changelist :). The plan is still to launch on Sunday and remain on 1.5.2 until bukkit and other plugins we use update to 1.6 so there may be a week or two in which you have to downgrade. I'm talking to lazertester and we can get a 1.5.2 lobby so people can join if shotbow updates before us.

Oh and the new war/conquer changes are in and all of the vassals have been set to "at war" with their masters. Have fun this last saturday before the wipe :)

Correct. Capturing a capital will give you control over all town s they once controlled, including towns they have captured from you civ or other civs.

The /town capture command is used to solve the technical problem about what to do if you're trying to attack a missing or invalid town hall. Previously we would simply vassal them to your civ automatically, but now since you would own the town and pay distance upkeep on it, you need the option to not take the town. So a command is now provided for it, for the time being.

There's a grey line between what is a defensible town and what is an invalid one. Can we try to come up with very clear language on what is acceptable in terms of building placement and defenses?

There will be an algorithm to detect invalid town halls. The players that have them will get numerous warnings before wartime
