Be My Horde News

[p][/p][h2]Hello, Horde![/h2][p][/p][p]How are you? We have quite an announcement for you today… International Women’s Day is just around the corner, and we absolutely couldn’t ignore it. Let’s celebrate the wisdom, beauty, and broadly understood greatness of our Lady Moriana! We’ve prepared quite a treat for you on this occasion. A regular update that brings not only gameplay tweaks, but also visual improvements. Let’s take a look![/p][p][/p][h2]WARDROBE UPGRADE[/h2][p][/p][p]This update doesn’t introduce new skins, BUT it significantly enhances the existing outfits. We know you love them, but we felt they deserved a proper makeover to truly stand out and feel more distinct from one another.[/p][p][/p][p]From now on, almost every costume features:[/p][p]💀 A unique hairstyle;[/p][p]💀 A distinct resurrection color;[/p][p]💀 An exclusive soul animation (the item Moriana holds in her hand).[/p][p][/p][p]Go check it out, and torment the living in even better style![/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][h2]WE NEED TO GO… FASTER[/h2][p][/p][p]Speaking of tormenting the living… we listened to your feedback and decided to refine the leveling system. With this update, you’ll level up approximately 50% faster than before, and we’ve increased the number of tiers for some perks to as many as 8![/p][p][/p][p]This should make each run far more engaging and significantly less tedious.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Of course, we still have plenty in store for the next major update when it comes to enhancing the feeling of growing stronger and more unstoppable. But we believe this is a solid first step. Definitely give it a try and let us know how Be My Horde feels now![/p][p][/p][h2]THAT DICK[/h2][p][/p][p]Among the more significant changes, we’ve also improved the boss fight with Richard III Ovine (a.k.a. “that silly, chubby royal Dick” — Moriana).[/p][p][/p][p]From now on, ALL of his attacks can be avoided without the need to upgrade Moriana’s skills or abilities. However, don’t get us wrong - it’s still going to be a challenge, so we recommend preparing yourself for facing his mighty hammer. Don’t underestimate the Dominion upgrades![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also fixed an issue where Moriana could sometimes take damage even after successfully moving outside the radius of Richard’s attacks.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks to these changes, the battle against this crowned nuisance should remain tough and exciting, but far more fair.[/p][p][/p][h2]WHAT’S MORE?[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The skin makeovers, revamped leveling system, and improved boss fight are not all of course. This update also comes with additional balance tweaks, especially in the Hell levels.[/p][p][/p][p]The detailed patch notes are below for those of you who want to dive deeper:[/p][p][/p][h2]CHANGES[/h2][p]💀 Almost every skin now features a unique hairstyle, distinct resurrection color, and an exclusive soul animation.[/p][p]💀 Leveling speed increased by 50%.[/p][p]💀 The number of perk upgrade tiers has been increased from 5 to 8. Their maximum power level should remain similar to the previous version.[/p][p]💀 Leveling speed in Hell now matches the leveling speed in Kingdom. Previously, it was about 30% slower.[/p][p]💀 King’s attack damage against Moriana has been reduced to prevent situations where he could one-shot her if the player had not purchased any health upgrades.[/p][p]💀 King’s movement speed during Jump Attack has been reduced, making the attack avoidable even without any movement speed upgrades. The only exception is the final enrage phase after 6 minutes of the boss fight.[/p][p]💀 The fifth enrage phase of the King and the Devil now begins only after 6 minutes of the fight and is no longer based on their HP.[/p][p]💀 Updated the Credits.[/p][p]💀 Updated most perk descriptions to make them clearer and more readable.[/p][p][/p][h2]BALANCE[/h2][p]💀 Frost stacks applied by Frost Bolt reduced by 60%.[/p][p]💀 Cavalry/Managers frost resistance increased from 85% to 90%.[/p][p]💀 Paladins/Directors frost resistance increased from 90% to 95%.[/p][p]💀 Mages/Kettles frost resistance increased from 95% to 98%.[/p][p]💀 Imp stats in Hell Levels 2–5 have been adjusted to match their stats from Hell Level 1. This should significantly speed up the early game, especially for players who don’t pick damage-dealing perks.[/p][p][/p][p]💀 Fire resistance granted by the talent increased from 7.5% to 10%.[/p][p]💀 On Hell 1–3, the number of enemies between minutes 11 and 14 has been increased to prevent situations where players cannot find any enemies on the map.[/p][p]💀 Imps now spawn for 2 minutes longer.[/p][p][/p][p]💀 Devil HP reduced by 15%.[/p][p]💀 Devil auto-attack damage against Moriana reduced by 50%.[/p][p]💀 Devil’s auto-attack projectile speed increased by 200%.[/p][p]💀 Dance with the Devil attack speed during the fifth enrage phase reduced by 25%.[/p][p]💀 Devil’s fireball damage against Moriana reduced by 50%.[/p][p][/p][p]💀 Perk that grants bonus magic damage for each Priest in the army has been buffed — increased from 1% to 3% magic damage per Priest.[/p][p]💀 King damage against Moriana on Kingdom Level 1 reduced by 50%.[/p][p]💀 Mage fireball explosion radius reduced by 25%.[/p][p]💀 Priest flat healing reduced by 50%[/p][p]💀 Priest base healing range increased by 10%.[/p][p]💀 Healing Blizzard nerfed — healing for Moriana reduced by 95% as it was heavily overperforming, making Moriana almost unkillable. [/p][p]💀 All HUB buildings that grant additional rerolls now provide 2 rerolls instead of 1.[/p][p][/p][h2]FIXES[/h2][p]💀 Fixed an issue where Kings’ attacks could hit Moriana even when she was outside the attack radius indicator.[/p][p]💀 Lowered the chance of rolling the Summoning Circles and Graves perks to match the probability of other perks.[/p][p]💀 Fixed the Paladin talent that increases attack radius. It now matches the description (100% → 50%).[/p][p]💀 Fixed an issue causing strange behavior of enemy Priests after selecting the perk that adds enrage to their healing.[/p][p]💀 Fixed Moriana’s hitbox location.[/p][p]💀 Fixed an issue where minions gathered around the King’s shadow during Jump Attack.[/p][p]💀 King can now correctly cast his Sheep Bombardment attack again.[/p][p]💀 Mages can no longer attack while frozen.[/p][p]💀 Missing localization has been added in all languages.[/p][p]💀 King’s Shockwave attack now properly scales with all enrage phases.[/p][p]💀 Fixed the issue with the game connecting to the server on launch, even when the option to send data was turned off. It wasn't sending any data at the time, but it still wasn't the proper behavior.[/p][p][/p][h2]OUR FORMIDABLE LADY[/h2][p][/p][p]This isn’t a major update, but we hope it shows that things are constantly happening behind the scenes. In just a few months, we’ll be ready to share something much, much immense with you.[/p][p][/p][p]With this patch, we celebrate our Lady Moriana, but we’d also like to give a shoutout to all the amazing heroines, both on screen and behind it. Be My Horde is part of the Women’s Day Sale event on Steam, so be sure to check it out, and discover even more fantastic games!… Moriana’s orders.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That’s it for today! Make sure to check out version 0.13 of Be My Horde and leave us your feedback. You truly help us make the game better.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned. We have some wild plans for this year, and we can’t wait to finally share them with you![/p][p][/p][p]PRAISE BE MORIANA![/p][p]The Polished Games Team[/p][p]

[p][/p][h2]Hello, Horde!
[/h2][p]How are you? How’s it going with tormenting poor Dick and the Devil? We hope that inflicting suffering upon them brings you as much joy as it does to Moriana. While you bring doom upon humans and demons, we’re constantly working on upcoming updates, and we’d love to share some news with you.[/p][p][/p][h2]BABY STEPS[/h2][p][/p][p]Nothing has changed since our previous announcement, and we want to confirm that we will need a few more months to finalise the next major update, which will introduce a plethora of gameplay changes and improvements. For more information, go HERE.[/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, however, we’re putting the finishing touches on a much smaller, regular update coming next week. Of course, it won’t be a huge milestone like Welcome to Hell or Horde Reborn, but we hope it will still bring you plenty of fun.[/p][p][/p][p]This update will include gameplay improvements focused on levelling Moriana, balance tweaks, and also… visual upgrades to her outfits. So both fashion enthusiasts and admirers of our necromancer’s beauty should be more than satisfied. Stay tuned![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]WE ARE GROWING[/h2][p][/p][p]In our last announcement, we mentioned that a lot has been happening behind the scenes at Polished Games, and it’s absolutely true. Over the past few weeks, we’ve welcomed several talented new team members who will help us not only polish (hehe) Be My Horde, but also support our work on upcoming projects.[/p][p][/p][p]There are now 13 (!) people working at Polished Games. Which is quite impressive considering that when we started developing the first prototypes of Be My Horde, there were… just 3 developers.[/p][p][/p][h3]Please give a warm welcome to our new colleagues![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]MORIANA AND… MECHS?[/h2][p][/p][p]As always, we’re super excited to join forces with other amazing developers. This time, we’re introducing a fresh new bundle in collaboration with Last Bite Games and their game, Swarm Grinder![/p][p][/p][p]Definitely give it a try… and reflect on this important question:[/p][p]If you kill a mech operator and then resurrect them, would this new minion be able to control a mech? That would truly shift gears in every crusade, don’t you think?[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]That’s it for today, our beloved Horde. As always, thank you for your support and for sharing your feedback on Steam - through the forums, reviews, and on our Discord server.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you’ll enjoy what we’re cooking up for you. ;)[/p][p][/p][p]PRAISE BE MORIANA![/p][p]The Polished Games Team[/p][p]

[p][/p][h2]Hello, Horde!
[/h2][p]New year, new us, like the old saying goes. And this time, there’s quite a lot of truth in it. We haven’t shared any news or announcements lately, as we spent the whole of January discussing our plans for 2026. Plenty of things are happening under the hood, so let’s take a short deep dive. Shall we?
[/p][h2]WE DID THE MATH[/h2][p][/p][p]But first, you didn’t rest on your laurels over the last two months either. We see your numbers. You absolutely obliterated Richard’s and the Devil’s forces! Just take a look at how many enemies have met their demise since the Horde Reborn update. Moriana is almost proud of you. Almost… because you can always do better…[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also have some insight into your favorite playstyles. Below, you can clearly see the most popular types of necromancy, as well as the Top 5 most commonly picked perks. Looking at the results, let us know in the comments whether you’re going with the flow or perhaps you’re more of a nonconformist.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And finally, let’s take a look at your crusades themselves. You marched into battle countless times, and we were curious how many of you managed to beat all available levels. The results are intriguing![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]WHAT AWAITS YOU?[/h2][h2][/h2][p]However, enough of those numbers, let’s cut to the chase. Throughout January, we planned our next moves for this year, and there’s a lot we want to improve and revamp. But we’ll need a few months to properly introduce these changes, so you have to wait a bit longer for the next big update. Still, we promise there will be plenty of cool things to look forward to.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re going to completely revamp meta-progression. Many of you have pointed out in Steam forum comments, on our Discord server, and in Steam reviews that this aspect doesn’t work as well as it should. Talents don’t feel impactful enough, and Be My Horde can sometimes become too “grindy.” That’s why we’re about to overhaul this system, along with Moriana’s Dominion. After all, she’s finally forcing us to give her base a slight makeover. It definitely deserves it. Sounds simple, but it’ll take us quite some time to do it properly.[/p][p][/p][p]Of course, that’s not all. We’ll also focus on one aspect that should please all of you: MINIONS’ MOVEMENT. Yes, we’re revamping this system as well, to make leading your horde of undead much more pleasant and far less frustrating. This is another significant change, so we’ll need plenty of testing to, well… polish it.[/p][p][/p][p]All of this will come together with additional balance tweaks, new perks, and an almost completely rewritten story! We have ambitious plans to significantly improve Be My Horde’s narrative and make your conversations with Moriana more impactful. We couldn’t implement all our ideas in the Horde Reborn update, but we’re aiming to do so in the upcoming one. Stay tuned, both those of you who love spending time with our seductive necromancess, and those who don’t really care about the story. We might finally create something that pleases everyone. Keep your fingers crossed!
[/p][h2]BUT… I WANT MORE![/h2][p]Trust us, so do we. Our main goal is to finally deliver a wealth of excellent content: new game modes, a new biome, new enemies, new perks… you name it. However, we first need to bring more order to our existing systems. The Horde Reborn update gave us a clear direction, but there are still areas that require our attention.[/p][p][/p][p]We see it in your reviews. While many of you ask for fresh content, you even more often point out flaws in the current design. And if we want to be responsible developers, we have to address those issues first.[/p][p][/p][p]HOWEVER, if you give us some time and remain patient, we have an enormous — truly gigantic — surprise planned for the second half of this year.[/p][p][/p][h2]MORIANA AND VIKINGS? BRING IT ON![/h2][p]From other news, we joined forces with our new indie dev friends and created a fresh new bundle: JOTUNNSLAYER: HORDES OF HEL x BE MY HORDE! If you’re into Norse Mythology, definitely check the bundle out and give some love to the Jotunnslayer creators![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]BTW - PATCH 0.12.11[/h2][p][/p][p]We have this approach that we want to inform you about every change and fix in the game. No matter how minor it may be. So, just a brief patch notes to the version that went live today:[/p][p][/p][p]💀 Fixed a typo in the Polish talent description that incorrectly stated the talent decreases damage to the King/Devil instead of decreasing damage dealt by the King/Devil.[/p][p][/p][h2]I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS![/h2][p][/p][p]And we’d love to answer them. As always, feel free to share your questions in the comments, on the Steam forum, or on our Discord server. But we’re also giving you an additional opportunity.[/p][p][/p][p]Next Tuesday (03.02) at 10:00 a.m. (PT) / 7:00 p.m. (CET), we’ll host a Q&A session on our YouTube and Twitch channels. We’ll stream Be My Horde, struggle with our own game a little, and encourage you to join us and chat with us directly. See you there![/p][p][/p][p]That’s it for now. We’re incredibly excited about this year. Some details are still crystallizing, so we don’t want to promise too much and then fail to deliver. You know us, we prefer to share only what we’re absolutely sure we can create.[/p][p][/p][p]One thing we can promise: we’ll do everything we can to make the best possible version of Be My Horde with the upcoming updates. And we hope you’ll enjoy it, dear minions![/p][p][/p][p]PRAISE BE MORIANA![/p][p]The Polished Games Team[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[h2]CHANGES[/h2][p]💀 Kettle mass was increased, making them harder to push around and easier to surround.[/p][p][/p][p]PRAISE BE MORIANA![/p][p]The Polished Games Team[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[h2]FIXES[/h2][p]💀 Fixed a bug where enemies on the Kingdom level could temporarily stop spawning after 17:00.[/p][p][/p][p]PRAISE BE MORIANA![/p][p]The Polished Games Team[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
