The kingdom management sim Noble Fates got a pretty hefty patch filled with tons of new content, including adventures, crimes, and a new way to “block” enemy attacks. The aptly named Adventure Update is now available on Steam.
Adventures
Players of Noble Fates are treated with new content called Adventures. To embark on an adventure, a group full of nobles or a dispatch party must be assembled. Each member of the group must take at least one Travel Meal, which is a new recipe that can be crafted at the Stove.
There are four different types of Adventures, namely, evicting a party of rebels, rescuing a group of nobles, defending a village from attackers, and tracking down and attacking criminals.
New Defensive Gear
Shields have also been introduced in the Adventure Update. This new secondary piece of gear adds a small improvement to the player’s armor, at the cost of reduced movement speed and attack rate.
What’s great about shields is that players can now block incoming attacks, including monster and animal strikes, as well as incoming arrows. All they have to do is to hold right-click when controlling their Ruler.
Crimes
Mortals can now commit crimes in Noble Fates and players can track down and capture criminals. Once they are caught, players will have a choice to imprison or have them killed.
There are certain things that criminals can do to retire from crime. For instance, a criminal is no longer considered one if they are promoted to noble status or higher.
Here are the other highlights of the Adventure Update:
- Each Kingdom is granted a Magical Messenger Hawk by the God of Diplomacy
- These Messengers carry Petitions and Items between the Kingdoms
- Build Messenger Perches to receive Messengers
- Number of petitions is limited by your Kingdom Size and number of Perches
- The new Petitions tab shows the Petitions you have received
- Interact with and resolve them as you see fit
- Archive them when done with one
- Petitions have rewards and consequences in the form of Esteem, Loot, and even War or Peace
