Community Update 3 Out Now!

Attention Mercenaries!

The first Community Update of 2024 has arrived, bringing with it new content, quality of life improvements, and bug fixes. Dive into the latest changes and discover what's new!

Don’t forget to share your thoughts on the update by joining us on the Wartales Discord server, Reddit page or Twitter. We look forward to hearing from you!


Battle Maps

These new maps have been finely crafted by our team to grant new exciting ways to battle in camps, towers, hamlets and villages. This addition will provide you with new combat environments, from existing locations, but also new tactical possibilities! With bigger obstacles, battles in these places will require you to adapt to new strategies.

You will be able to find these new battle maps in the following locations:
  • Towers
  • Camps
  • Hamlets
  • Villages






Battle Traps

In addition to the new battle maps, new deadly (and not so deadly) traps have also been added! Some of them have a unique interactions and are only found in specific locations. These additions will offer new opportunities to turn a fight in your favour!

  • Powder Keg When destroyed, it will create a fire surface around itself while damaging and knocking back close units.
  • Caged Plague-ridden Deals damage and inflict Fever to units who pass nearby or end their turn next to them.
  • Raw Materials Pickup
    Repair a small amount or armour when used.
  • Oils Pickup
    When used, will apply the effect of the oil on the unit’s weapon on top of any other oil for the duration of the battle.






New Backstory

A new start option related to Belerion with a Pugilist has been added, we didn’t want to restrict it to people that own the Pirates of Belerion DLC, that’s why this new starting option will be available for everyone!
The Pugilist is a somewhat complex class which can be tricky to handle in the hands of a new player. Which is why we have decided to lock it behind simple requirements, to ensure new players can first familiarise themselves with the basics of the game.

To unlock the new starting option you will need to have completed one of the following requirements:
  • Have a level 5 (or higher) Pugilist
  • Have unlocked a new starting region other than Tiltren
  • Have completed the scenario of a region


Features

  • Companion list For players that have a large amount of companions in their troop, it can sometimes be a chore to remember which ones have had their turn, or set them up before starting in combat. Thanks to this addition, you will be able to rapidly see where everyone is at and easily select them without having to find them in the crowd. You will need to activate this option under “General>Advanced” to be able to use it.
  • Inventory filter You can now filter objects with various tags to ease your navigation in the inventory.
  • Hide backpacks
    You will now be able to hide the backpacks of your companions to better appreciate the back of their armour!

Excellent Baldur's Gate 3 style RPG gets new tavern building DLC

The hole left after finishing Baldur's Gate 3 can be tough to fill - my friends and I just this week wrapped up a near 100-hour campaign, and now we're looking for the next RPG to take our attention. One worthy contender in that field is Wartales, the open-world, turn-based medieval strategy game from developer Shiro Games that sees you (and your friends, if you'd like) leading a band of mercenaries in search of adventure, fortune, and glory. Already boasting an impressive 91% Steam rating from over 21,000 reviews, a new DLC just dropped that transforms the epic into a management sim.
