Hey guys, while I’ve been working on some warsim theory, the little mini things I’ve been working on, on the side have stacked up so I thought I’d push a release, there is no real focus of the update but one of the bigger changes was to the militia and the near north!

THE BRAWL PIT: REVISITED

The brawl pit has existed in warsim for a very long time, it was one of the earliest visitable locations and hasn’t been changed much since, this puts an end to that and reworks it, especially pit ownership, now owning the brawl pit is more profitable with Pit champion fights earning you tons more, and if your brawl pit hosts the battle of the two champions (once every 6 years) you earn even more. Fights now have better sound effects and things and fleshed out and explained better.
