Cards and Castles Update!!
Doodle Empires Alpha 1.3.0 is finally here, and with it comes some changes to the way cards work, the addition of castles, and some quality of life improvements.
Cards!!
The way cards are drawn has been reworked, and now players can decide how common or rare each card is at both the beginning of the game, and at any point during the game. Along with these new card settings players can now change how powerful expansion cards are with the drawing power slider.
Castles!!
You can now draw a new card called "Build Castle", which will allow you to place down a castle on any tile owned by the selected nation. This castle will then make the area around it harder to take for enemy nations. With this comes the new Fort map mode, which shows the area currently being defended by a castle.
Other Improvements!!
You can now right click on a nation to select it, and hit the space bar to draw a card. Also, you can now hit the + and - keys to zoom in and out if you don't have a mouse. On top of all that, the lag issue players were facing later in sessions should now be long gone.

Issue where forts can be place ontop of eachother, maybe make it so theres an area in which forts cannot be placed surrounding existing forts; or just add the ability to delete forts, or both would be nice.
Game is great and i feel a creative mode with more control over the drawn cards or potentially a selection of cards to pick from could be a great addition.
I love it, but maybe add the ability to choose a card once every 10 turns or so because sometimes i want to build a fort or split an empire but cant because of the total randomness of the cards; it would be nice to have limited control among the otherwise total randomness i guess. And maybe have every new nation start with a Fort with a slightly larger control area as a capital and have the option to change the capitals location by clicking on another fort, idk just ideas that might be cool.
I would like a campaign where you can play pre drawn nations, like the first Punic war and etc. It would also be cool if you can decide how much a split will be drawn. Alot of unnecessary splits happen where some expansions get drawn too far away from the intended split.
Please make an Android version
Incredible stuff!
Great update! One big thing I want to see is a turn system of some sort so you can see who should be going next.
i Have a suggestion for the game it would be cool if there was Villages and Town then city cards and if a nation has more citys and towns then your nation can have more drawing
basically more citys and towns = more paint
They could also do what the castles do but depending on the card then the radius would be less then the fort
so towns can have a bit of protection while citys have the most but less then castles
Love the update, just learned about it on youtube and instanly downloaded it
I love the update, but there seems to be a bug that makes it impossible to draw below the icons of the castles, which makes it difficult to have countries take over other castles, otherwise it's great!
Yeah Its should have a toggle to make the castle invisible like you can by clicking the name of the castle so you can have access to the tiles under it
good update!! keep up the good work! excited for the future of the game
i mess with this update heavy
can you possibly add a preset color pallet and remove the random "new nation" card and make it so you can add a nation whenever you want. also make it so you can build up an army and command your troops.
thanks!
for some reason, it still doesn't work on mac... it says that the application can't be opened.
Hey, try downloading the itch.io app on your mac, and run the game through that. I've heard from a few mac users that that works for them
Love the Castles and adjustability of cards now. Though i have been playing about with the new game options and im not really sure how I'm effecting the card draw. I can have expand card down to zero and still be drawing Expand card. Regardless cool update!
Keep those updates coming king!
