it's been 2 months since our release of Shields of Loyalty. We've already added more features to the game and fixed several bugs. Another patch will follow this week. Really hope you already enjoy all the new stuff!

Maybe it's a good time to give a preview of the big upcoming content update:

• we will implement the 2nd island "Eternal Ice" with 9 brand new levels and the tier 3 units of Nobleman Aglovan and the AI units. Coming this summer.
  
• furthermore we will include POI's. These are places on the map that give a level related bonus to your own units or a malus to enemy unit. E.g. praying at an altar will heal all units
  
• various new events (like snowstorms, ice rain)
  
• and more
  

Thanks a lot for your support so far. Please keep sharing your ideas and thoughts. Hopefully asap also on discord. We'll keep you updated.

Kind Regards
