- Collected shrubs, chopped trees shouldn't regrow underneath blocked-over areas
- Pure darkness flicker between 10 and 11 at night fixed
- Fallen trees will glitch out less dramatically when built over
- Fix for sometimes mysterious missing bush and tree objects when coming into close LOD
- Prevention of cloning entries in damaged or destroyed trees and bushes
- Fix for strange third person camera

- Escaping from capture using a sharp rock or lockpick shouldn't require as much camera gymnastics.
- Fixed issue with iron torch particles not playing
- Fixed issue with PoA being consumed with full inventory
- Fixed issue where certain facial features could get messed up
- Fixed all known exploits
- Randomize head randomized tattoos
- Local drum audio is more reliable

- Fixed a bug where animals may repeatedly appear to sink into the terrain and then snap back up to the surface.

- Fixed a bug with the hit reaction animation. Previously, while characters were in a hit reaction, some parts of the body would rapidly jitter, especially when viewed at a distance. This is no longer the case.
Design Changes:
- Characters can crouch much lower than before, allowing them to fit through spaces that are 1 block high.
- Crouch jumping is now possible and is especially effective in climbing into single-block holes.
- Trebuchet will now take 30% damage from projectiles instead of being invulnerable to them.
- Made projectiles fall out of trees which have been cut down
- Wolf damage and stamina reduced.
- The "Iron Battle War Hammer" no longer deals 10 extra damage from left-to-right swings.
- Some prefabs have had their damage resistances reduced. Most visibly, decorative furniture and defensive barricades now take siege damage.
- Burnt bird is no longer half-useless, it is now fully useless.

This is a very special update, as it marks the day of release for Reign of Kings on Steam. We thank everyone for your feedback and helping us to mold the game into what it is today. We’re happy to have been able to develop a new medieval gaming experience where we can live the dream and reign as king or queen.
We announced upon launch on Early Access that our goal was to release before the end of the year, and we’re happy to say that we have not only achieved our internal roadmap, but also added many features past it. On average, each player has played around 36 hours of ROK, with many over a hundred, and some over a thousand hours of playtime. Throughout development, we've launched over 22 major updates, and have spent the last couple of months fixing bugs, optimizing, polishing, and tweaking in preparation for the release.
The 1.0 is more than just a release, it is also one of our biggest updates. We've spent a large amount of time working on server optimization and performance. This should help with the server causing lag in different areas when under heavy load. We also implemented a server-side modding framework that will allow server operators to change many values of the game in order to better suit the game to their communities tastes. Aside from this, there were many bug fixes, and design tweaks. We also fixed all known exploits. Official servers will be wiped with this update, and a wipe is recommended for community servers.
