Hello everyone!

The campaign editor is nearing completion and will be ready for launch in the coming month. I want to give a 30% discount to celebrate.

The editor will allow you to make your own campaign maps, edit settlements and add custom factions and let your creativity run wild.

I made a small video showing some results and some battle gameplay in the new desert biome that will also be added.
