Picture the scene: you are at the beach. It is a real-time strategy beach, where metaphors happen. A lawless-looking child hands you a bucket. When you look into the bucket, you find sand, paint, bread, pottery, chocolate, nails, and several crabs all speaking different languages. Isn't this fascinating? What the hell is going on? This is Hero's Hour, an untidy RTS sand bucket filled with so many ideas it's hard to see how this turbulent mix will have any structural integrity at all when you finally up-end the bucket to build a tower. And yet… it sorta does? I don't know. I'm lost. How do I get off this beach?

There's actually way too much going on, so I'll only be able to cover the major features:

• New overworld buildings: Palaces
  

[h2]MODDING[/h2]

• Unit modding
  
• Hero class modding
  
• Artifact modding
  

[h2]WORLD[/h2]

• 7 new types of terrain
  
• New terrain assets
  
• Map styles improvements
  
• Map generation improvements
  
• Underground maps
  

[h2]FACTIONS[/h2]

• New Order faction mechanic and building: Idolatry
  
• Earthen Temple of War and Monument of War rework
  
• Reworked Decay faction mechanics
  

[h2]TOWNS[/h2]

• New town screens (WIP)
  
• New town building: Architect
  
• New town building: Mercenary Hall
  
• Rebalanced costs of all faction-specific buildings
  

[h2]UNITS[/h2]

• Several new unit abilities
  
• 14 new rare units

[h2]UI[/h2]

So! That's it for now. But in the new year, exciting things will happen!

I'll be starting work on a 12th faction, which will be called the Community Decided Faction. While the 11th faction is finished now, the 12th faction will start development in January and will be added later in the game. I'm hoping to be able to use this time to do some involved community votes to decide how this faction should turn out.

In both cases, I'll be sending some info out onto the waves of the internet by then. But if you want to stay more closely in touch, you can join the Hero's Hour discord.

I wish you happy holidays and great hopes for the new year!
