Hello there,
We are wrapping up our work on Fate of Iberia as the summer break is on the horizon. We are releasing Update 1.6.1 today, which will notably contain:
The full update notes are available at the end of this post. You can scroll through if you are impatient.
I wanted to seize the opportunity to thank you for your feedback on Fate of Iberia. We learned a lot through reading your threads and comments on our forum, as well as the discussions had on other platforms. We also enjoyed the funny anecdotes and were (happily) surprised by your love for cheese and the other stories you shared.
Most of all, your comments and feedback regarding the Struggle itself have been invaluable and will continue to help us in the future. If you have any grievances, or wishes regarding the system, please discuss them on our forum! While we are not always able to respond directly, we do keep a keen eye on what is being discussed!
Cheers,
P.S.: A crash was identified recently, which we were unfortunately not able to resolve in this update. We are however working on a resolution for this issue, which we will release as soon as possible.
The crash occurs if you let a Court Event sit in your Royal Court unanswered, meaning the game will crash when the event would time out.
This can be worked-around by answering your Court Events before they time out.
We are wrapping up our work on Fate of Iberia as the summer break is on the horizon. We are releasing Update 1.6.1 today, which will notably contain:

- Tweaks to the Dissolution faction and a new set of game rules to tweak it for the Al-Andalus. You can now decide to either:
- Activate it from the start
- Block it until the death of the starting Caliph
- Block it until 1020

- Visual updates for some legacy clothing, armor and headgear assets. This should not cause any issues except for potentially some assets that were renamed.
- For hairstyles and beards, we switched from using separate meshes/entities for hat combinations to using blend shapes now defined in the .asset file of the hairstyle/beard.
- Removed the additional pdxmeshes and entities from each asset file so that there is only the base mesh and entity there.
- Added all of the different blend shapes to that entity. For many of the older assets this means we re-exported the mesh variants as blend shapes instead of entirely separate meshes.
- Removed unneeded mesh files from the game folders.
- Removed the scripted reference to hairstyle and beard variants from each asset in the "accessories" script.
- All headgear should now set its appropriate tag to be used to deform hairstyles and beards with the corresponding blend shape. The tags are crown, cap, hat, helmet, hood, chinstrap.
- Additionally, some headgears add a secondary tag to reduce clipping in certain combinations. These are snug_headgear, nose_guard, hood_beard and mask_hat (added to headgear which can be used together with the Disfigured mask).
