Hello Tribe Leaders,

The day has finally come and the moment is finally here. The first big Medieval Dynasty’s content drop has arrived! So let’s get straight into what you are getting.

One of the major new additions are Events. As we explained in our last week’s teaser update, they are an extra layer to the gameplay. You will be faced with many scenarios that can play out depending on how you deal with them. One day, you might have to deal with heavy rains that damaged your crops, while a few months later your people might get a significant boost because the joy of Spring can be felt in the air. These events can have a major impact on your game and will test your wits and leadership tact.



Tough decisions are ahead of you...

Events are not all that you will find in this update. As many of you requested we added some decorative items to the game. You can finally bring light to your quaint village by creating torches and lanterns. Not only will they provide light, but they’ll also add a bit of warmth too in those cold winter nights. We’ve also added furniture, so your people can have a place to sit and eat by, and we’ve added other little decorative items as well. All of this so that you can add your personal touch to your village.



Lanterns will brighten up your nights.



Some new furniture for your tribe.

We’ve also made your life a little bit easier too. Now you can carry a lot more on you and your shoulders thanks to the new pouches and bags. They will help you with all the heavy lifting and make your trips to other villages more efficient and lucrative.



Your new bag collection

We’ve also heard your requests to have customizable gameplay options. You can now play around and adjust such setting as the number of days per season, the tax multiplier, give yourself unlimited health, food, water, and more. A lot of you wanted to be able to play around with these options and play the game you wanted – we hope this is exactly what you were looking for.

These are just some of the major changes that we brought into the Medieval Dynasty world. For a full list, take a look at our changelog below. Let us know what you think of these new additions too. And as always, follow us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest updates (and a big shout out to our r/MedievalDynasty Reddit community!). Remember, this update is just the beginning.


Until next time.

Hello Tribe Leaders,

First, we must get one thing out of the way. The reception that we got from you has been HUGE! We are a month after release, and we are still receiving great feedback from you every day. We never imagined that you would take such a shining to our game, so once again, thank you for all your support.

Now, let us get into the good stuff! Here is a little tease of what is coming in the first major Medieval Dynasty content drop.

One of the first big additions to the game are Events. The events will cover various aspects of gameplay, and depending on your decisions, they will have specific outcomes. To give you an idea of how they work, here is an example. You have heard rumours of over 20 wolves being within the vicinity of the village. How will you react to this news? Will you tell the village not to worry about it, or will you go out and take care of the wolves yourself, or perhaps something in between? And how will your decision impact the village itself? These events will not only give you a bit more variety, but they will also test your leadership skills too. Remember, your decisions can have consequences.

We are also adding a few more items for you that will make your life easier, and your village prettier. We do not want to spoil everything here, but to all of you that wanted some street lighting, take a look at the image below!



There’s a lot more that’s coming to Medieval Dynasty really soon, but spoiling it all now would ruin the surprise later - so we’ll just leave it at this and let you speculate until the content drop arrives (yes, we can be cruel like that as well). Overall, though, we hope that you’ll be quite happy with what we have in store.

Until then, take care of yourself, and we’ll speak soon!

Regards,
Your Toplitz and Render Cube Teams
