[h3]Greetings, Shields of Loyalty fans![/h3]

We’re thrilled to share the latest updates on our journey and the exciting new features in development. Let’s dive into what’s been happening behind the scenes.

[h3]Gamescom 2024: A Remarkable Experience[/h3]

Our team had the incredible opportunity to attend Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, where we showcased Shields of Loyalty and connected with a vibrant community of developers, publishers, and gaming enthusiasts. The event was a massive success, allowing us to expand our network, gain valuable insights, and build partnerships that will propel the game to new heights. We’re more motivated than ever to deliver an unforgettable experience for all of you.





[h3]New Warlord Faction Buildings[/h3]

We’re excited to introduce new Warlord buildings, starting with the Barbarian Pits (Infantry Barracks). This structure will be the cornerstone of your Warlord armies, providing a place to train and house your basic infantry units. As you upgrade the barracks, you’ll unlock stronger and more diverse units to bolster your forces. The Warlord Highlands, where these buildings will be located, will play an immersive role in your strategic planning and battlefield dominance.



[h3]BONUS: New Detailed Map Close-ups[/h3]

Here you can see the detailed close-up mission selection which we are implementing on to the new map styles. Expect more polishing and quality of life improvements as they are all on the way to the development oven of Mosaic Mask Studio!





[h3]Lore Pieces Update[/h3]



We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the release of our Lore Pieces. Due to some necessary edits, we’ve postponed their release, but we’re excited to announce that the first two pieces will be shared together today in the Steam Community area. These snippets will provide deeper insights into the world of Mantaria, enriching your experience as you explore and conquer.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for your unwavering support!

[h3]Greetings, Commanders![/h3]

We’re thrilled to bring you another update as we continue to expand the world of Shields of Loyalty.

This time, we're taking you deeper into the heart of Mantaria with a first look at our latest map, which is currently a work in progress. Alongside this, we are introducing the Warlord Highlands, a rugged and strategic region where the Warlord Faction will establish their dominance.

[h3]New Map:[/h3]

A World in Progress

Our team has been hard at work designing a detailed and expansive new map that will challenge your tactical abilities like never before. While still in development, this map will offer diverse terrains and strategic points that will test your decision-making skills. Each region is being crafted to provide unique challenges and opportunities, making every playthrough a fresh experience.

Below you can find the first graphics for these awesome map designs.







[h3]The Warlord Highlands[/h3]

Located in one of the most treacherous parts of Mantaria, the Warlord Highlands will be the stronghold of the Warlord Faction. Here, you’ll find a variety of Warlord Faction buildings, each serving as a vital piece of their war machine. From towering fortresses to hidden camps, the Highlands are where the Warlords will gather their strength and prepare for battle. The design of this region reflects the raw power and relentless spirit of the Warlords, and it will serve as a key battleground in your journey to liberate Mantaria.

Here you can find these relentless lands in their awesomeness.



[h3]New Features[/h3]

In addition to the new map and the Warlord Highlands, we’re introducing some exciting new gameplay features.

Now, flying units and land units can be positioned on the same hex, and you’ll have the ability to toggle between their controls easily. This adds a new layer of tactical depth, allowing for more complex strategies during combat.

We’re also making it easier for players to track their exploration progress. Ruins will now be clearly marked if they have been looted, so you’ll always know if an area has been fully explored or if there’s still treasure waiting to be discovered.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to refine the map and bring the Warlord Highlands to life. We’ve got plenty more features and content planned for future updates, which we’ll share with you soon.

Thank you for your continued support, and as always, keep your shields up!
