Voor De Kroon News

Hello everyone!

It's been one year since the release of Voor De Kroon in early access and I want to thank everyone for believing in and supporting the project! It's been one hell of a ride already and I can't wait for the coming year.

There's still a couple of big features coming up including the campaign/map editor. The game will also receive a lot of polish and quality of life updates in the coming months.

I hope to see you in 2024 and let's work towards 1.0! If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to make a post in the discussions.

Thank you!

This is a patch that addresses a lot of issues regarding officer equipment and adds some new equipment. It also fixes a couple of hard crashes, most notable being the game crashing when starting a siege with a round castle.
