After some testing, we have found out that the price of items in the marketplace was too cheap. To counter this we have doubled the price of everything in there and we will continue to monitor the progress of the mod economy.

We also updated the homepage of the website to include a quick login, global game stats and a news update feed.

Changelog for 0.1.15

• Game Features
  
• Reduced the peasant deadlyness considerably. This means the first wave is now soloable for a new recruit, however watch out for the farmers!
  
• Added a new Boss, the "Nord Warlord"
  
• Added harder enemies for later waves, including the "Nord Trooper" and "Nord Scout"
  

• Bug Fixes
  
• The joining server problem should now be fixed, however if you manage to replicate it, please post a report on the forums
  

Changelog for 0.1.14

• Game Features
  
• Added basic loot gathering from killing enemies. Now everytime you kill an enemy there is a % chance you will get an item from them
  
• Added a new message type, for less rare loot (its now grey instead of the standard blue)
  

• Site Features
  
• Added the crafting page which currently displays your crafting inventory
  
• Added support for having more than 1 of each item type
  
• Updated the marketplace so there is now quantity of items to sell, useful for collecting trash loot and selling it
  

The game is in need of some stress testing, both game server and web server side, so we are currently opening up the game to everyone who's interested in playing/testing it with us.

We have one server based in LA which will be running the latest version of the mod, if anyone else wants to contribute or help test the server hosting please get in touch with us, either via email or on the forums.

Please be aware that the development cycles for the mod can happen rapidly and you may need to update your client on a regular basis.

As for updates, the next features we are implementing are random loot drops, including weapons/armor and hopefully crafting materials which leads us onto the next major release feature, crafting!

Hello,

We have made some changes and additions to the forum to make navigating the various boards and topics more convenient.

- Images now scale to fit the page rather than forcing a horizontal scroll bar.
- The profile portion of each post now shows all the groups a user belongs to rather than just the primary group.
- The forum is now Tapatalk enabled.
- Various boards have been moved or merged into others to remove duplication and doubt about where to post or find topics.

A few of the more noticeable board changes are listed here: The very long "NordInvasion - Get Involved" section has been split into "Discussions" and "Houses & Marketplace" sections.  The "Classes" sub-boards have been moved to "Strategies and Guides".  "NordInvasion Discussion" is now "General Discussion".  There were many other minor changes to board names but they are less drastic for the most part.

Tapatalk is a mobile app for both iOS and Android which makes navigating the forum much easier.  Beyond fitting the forum on a smaller screen, it also makes creating and replying to posts and PMs much easier without having to deal with small links and awkward text fields.  It can also provide notifications for incoming PMs or replies to threads you have subscribed to.  Naturally, the standard forum is still available, this just means you have another options.

Here is a list of the group images which have been added to the forum:

Thanks to Xen for working out which mods to use, creating the images, and testing everything ahead of time.

If you see anything out of place (such as the occasional double-tag on some people's profiles), let us know.
