Against the Storm News

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
Later today (March 15) at 6:00 pm UTC, we’ll be joining BearlyTactical on Twitch to show you the preview of the Twitch Integration Update.

BEARLYTACTICAL ON TWITCH

While the main highlight of the upcoming update is the Twitch Integration itself (with chat minigame and chat polls), you can also expect:

• Fuel prioritization
  
• Forest Mysteries and Orders rebalance
  
• 2 new Forest Mysteries
  
• 2 new Orders
  
• And more!

Please make sure you’re ready for the new update and finish your current settlement before the Update goes live tomorrow (sometime between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm UTC).

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games

[h2]HOW TO PREPARE[/h2]
We release new content Updates every two weeks on Thursdays around 2 pm – 4 pm UTC. As we make multiple changes to the game’s systems, balance, and content, the game needs to force-finish any settlements that are in progress when you download the update. This aims to prevent various game-breaking bugs that could occur otherwise.

IMPORTANT: If you have a settlement in progress, it will have to be force-finished when you download the Update. You will be reimbursed with Citadel Resources but you will have to start a new settlement. Your meta progress (that is: Experience, Level, completed Deeds, unlocked Upgrades, Citadel Resources, etc.) will remain intact.

In the main menu, under the “Play” button, there’s a countdown to upcoming Updates. Please finish your current settlement before the update day if you don’t want it to be completed automatically.

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
We’re currently working on a new Twitch Integration feature that lets you interact with your viewers in exciting new ways!

• Chat polls: Cornerstone, Blueprint, Caravan, Newcomers, and Order voting (requires Affiliate or Partner status)
  
• Chat minigame: Forest Guardians vs. Council of Elders

Blueprint chat poll

Forest Guardians vs Council of Elders

The integration lets viewers participate in your game without any external software or bots. To enable the integration, go to the game's Options (Twitch tab), log in with your Twitch account, customize your setup, and encourage the audience to play alongside you.

For more information, please check our Twitch Integration Streamer’s Guide which explains how the features work, what chat commands are available, and more!

You can also find more information in the in-game Encyclopedia.

[h2]How to use it?[/h2]
In order to test the new Integration, you need to play on the Experimental Branch (click here to learn how to switch to the Experimental Branch).

We appreciate all the feedback we can get and here are some warm-up questions:

• Are there any aspects that you don’t like?

Feedback from the viewer’s perspective will also be appreciated!

[h3]Greetings, Viceorys![/h3]
Thank you for the warm reception of the Modifiers Update and for bringing to our attention some unwanted issues that occured after the update. We just released a hotfix that should deal with them.

• Fixed a missing description for the Friend or Foe working effect in the Corrupted Caravan glade event.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Frosts modifier not reducing the minimum allowed distance for building another Hearth.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Trade Route panel not updating available offers in real time when the "show available" checkbox is active.
  
• Fixed a bug with input fields not preventing shortcut activation when clicked.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Land of Greed modifier not working after the game was reloaded.
  
• Fixed an issue with the "no firekeeper" alert showing up when the game is paused and a new firekeeper is assigned.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Resolve preview in the villager panel showing an incorrect value.

Also, please be aware that the new Modifiers (and the new Modifiers spawn rate) from yesterday's update will be available after you start a new Cycle.

We're extremely grateful for your support and hope that you'll enjoy the new update. Have a fantastic weekend!

We recently released a tiny hotfix addressing some of the bugs that popped up after Modifiers Update.

• Fixed a bug with the Order preview on the HUD displaying incorrect objectives.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Italian community translation of the game showing unlocalized string IDs instead of proper text.
  
• The Italian community translation is no longer automatically applied when the game is launched on an Italian system. It has to be manually turned on via the options menu.
  
• Replaced an incorrect link in the news panel in the main menu.

May the storm be gentle on you,
