Happy Halloween! Let's take a look at hero cosmetic customization.

It's important that the player can easily pick out their heroes in battle. So, we are enabling heroes to modify hair styles, hair color, portraits and of course gender.

Slimes are front-line, low control cost monsters. They specializes in defense and protecting your army. The Slime is also the most versatile monster, being able to upgrade to fit almost any role your army requires.

Slimes start out as a simple defensive tank with a protection ability. As they grow they can evolve into 4 different paths to become a healer, mage, ranged, or improve their tanking abilities. Because they are a low control cost unit, they are able to fill gaps in army capabilities as they grow in strength.

For the August update, we will cover weapon crafting in Monstrous Realms.

Our goal for the crafting system is to have equipment customization (talismans in Monstrous Realms) like an RPG, without requiring too much time to customize each unit. To achieve this, talismans can be produced using patterns, which are customizable but can be reproduced easily.

Patterns can be made using various unlocked components that give stat bonuses or in rare cases, special abilities.

These components can be unlocked through various methods such as research, dungeon exploration, or diplomacy. The amount of components allowed in each talisman will increase with research and kingdom development.

This is similar to how classic 4X's (MOO 2 for example) handled ship weapons and armor, with an added RPG flare to it.

The Maju is a creature of dark magic, acting as an offensive spell caster. It uses powerful magic to destroy and disable enemy units.

Majus use their magic to inflict status effects or deal powerful magic-type damage. They start with magic arrow which deals magic damage on a single target. Magic does increased damaged to units with low magic defense, such as Knights, Lindwyrms, or Mud Golems.

Majus are best positioned behind the front lines as a support unit, as they are weak against physical attacks. With experience, they are able to unlock various AOE spells, as well as utility and negative status spells.
