Hey Everyone,

Apologize for the long silence, as had to take some time off due to personal problem, but finally better and back to work.

After such a delay though our update schedule got pushed back quite a bit, so looks like we can only expect the 16th update to be complete later in August.

As a bonus the 16th update includes the last 4 chapters of the reworked campaign that has been greatly improved and is actually fun to play and much easier to complete now.

In addition I`ll be posting some new features and fixes from work currently ongoing on Kingdom Wars: Plague, I`m expecting these updates to happen towards the end of the summer.

Once again sorry for the delay, and thanks for your continuous support.

Hey Everyone,

Hope everyone is staying safe, and we have some exciting new to share today.

First - we are starting a sale event today, that should bring some new players into the game - which always helps with finding these PvP and CoOp battles. KW2 will be on a 60% discount over the next 7 days.

On top of this we are glad to say that the work on the next major update is nearly complete and we are expecting it to go live in a few days. Our 16th update took quite a bit of time but it`s well worth it.

This update includes continuing reworking campaign chapter and 3 and 4 - which always had the most issues. In addition we working on combat, performance, and dozen of smaller bugs across the board. Also I focused on finding whatever recent reports of bugs or balancing issues I could from players are worked on these as well.

Thanks for your continuous support!

Hey Everyone,

And we are back with another update as we continue to polishing and improving things across the board. We continue this week with updating our singleplayer campaign - with major rework on Chapter 2 and Chapter 1. We plan to complete rework of the campaign towards the end of March.

This update also include some great fixes from performance to unit tasking and combat improvements. In addition we also worked on some art assets - including scaling units up, and last but not least balancing.

Thanks for the continuing support, and we can`t wait to continue improving Kingdom Wars 2.

Hey Everyone,

We have a smaller update today with a number of fixes and improvements across the board. Of note we made some very important fixes to the AI - and it will finally show proper use of siege equipment when attacking towns. In additions we worked on how the game world is perceived - with more up-close camera, smaller battalion flags and other changes to help player be closer to the action without as much visual distractions.

We plan another update in February and two more updates in March, as we are just a quarter way through the planned improvements and fixes, that we hope to complete over the next 7 updates.
