1.0.0

Serflings 1.0.0

There is a new version available for Serflings: https://serflings.simpleguide.net/

The time has come! After a few years of working I can finally say: Serflings is ready for version 1! All main functions of the original game are available and I was even able to add some extensions. Despite this big step, it does not end here. The network feature calls for an update and I have many more ideas to expand the game. But first I would like to thank all the people who did help and test the game for making this version possible - and of course I like to thank you players for giving me the motivation to carry on with this project. Enjoy playing the game!

- It is now possible to set the number of computer players and the map size when creating a network game
