Heartland Frontier Content Update - v0.1.9

Heartland Frontier is a challenging tile-based 4x strategy game where you fight feudal lords and tribal chieftains in the hope of unifying your homeland and resisting foreign invasion. The heartland is the last true untamed frontier on the continent, a depopulated realm trapped between 4 great powers

The theme of this week's devlog is combat and how there is now more choice in terms of how you approach battles and sieges. The Mercenary Camp has been reworked to produce unique units. In the past the units available would be generic cohorts, now there are unique units for each of the 4 great powers.

Northern Realm: The Cossacks

The Northern Realm is based on Russia. The Cossacks are cavalry with high morale and defence, they can shatter enemy cohorts when fighting in open terrain.

Eastern Realm: The Bombard

The Eastern Realm is based on China. The Bombard is a heavy siege unit that can destroy enemy garrisons during sieges.

Southern Realm: The Janissaries

The Southern Realm is based on the Ottoman Empire. The Janissary is an elite skirmisher that can attack the enemy indirectly without suffering casualties.

Western Realm: The Legionaries 

The Western Realm is based on Rome. The Legionaries are heavy infantry that will stand and fight when other cohorts world run.

Next week will be 0.2.0 which means I will be implementing a new class. Up until now you have only be able to play as a military-focused class, with the addition of the Bishop, it will provide more of a utility approach to the game. This will hopefully add better choices for the player to make.
