[h2]Greetings, Dwarven Lords![/h2] As our majestic beards grow longer, we want to share some progress from the development process with you! We are still working hard towards reaching a fully fleshed-out vertical slice version of the game and it means that there are still many experiments going on. We design new ideas, implement prototypes of mechanics into the game and see if the result is satisfying and in place with the rest of the game. Among many others, it seems like water and lava interactions are among the most interesting ones. [h2]Water and Lava[/h2] Every mountain is full of surprises. While digging long corridors across the whole thing, you can never be 100% sure what's next. Among many other things, there are two opposing elements awaiting you - [b]water[/b] and [b]lava[/b].

Your dwarfs can easily get drowned in water and lava straight up eradicates everything on its way. Not only your units but structures too. Knowing this risk, you have to carefully manage those elements and use them to your advantage. Setting up proper outlets for water and lava allows you to control these resources to your will. Water quenches your miner's thirst and is a core component for breweries and other structures to work. Lava, in turn, can be used in blacksmithing. And the most interesting part? Water and lava combined will create new stone blocks, opening a completely new set of possibilities. Manage your kingdom properly and watch your settlement grow in the most amazing ways. [h2]Thank you for your support![/h2] We hope that this quick overview of water and lava mechanics sounds interesting to you! Let us know what you think about it and if you're interested in reading more development updates for [b]King of the Dwarves[/b]. Best regards, King of the Dwarves Team
