[p]Hello defenders![/p][p]It’s been a month and a half since Rogue Kingdoms launched—thank you so much to everyone who purchased the game, gave feedback, or reported bugs![/p][p]Since release, we’ve been cooking up a major update with loads of new content. We’re excited to announce that SEASON 2 is live, and it’s packed with features![/p][hr][/hr][h3]More Content[/h3]

[p]+1 Hero – From 2 to 3 heroes[/p]
[p]+2 Base Towers – From 2 to 4, each with a full upgrade path[/p]
[p]+42 Distinct Towers – From 54 to 96[/p]
[p]+1 Skill – From 5 to 6[/p]
[p]+16 Skill Upgrades – From 58 to 74[/p]
[p]+15 Relics – From 150 to 165[/p]
[p]+24 Mage Weapons – From 48 to 72[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]In Depth[/h3]

[p]New Hero: Mage – A ranged hero with powerful splash-damage magic attacks[/p]
[p]New Tower: Barbarian Hut – Spawns mini Barbarians[/p]
[p]New Tower: Valkyrie Hut – Spawns mini Valkyries[/p]
[p]New Skill: Summon Skeletons – A new skill that summons lots of (friendly!) skeletons. They’re squishy, but there are many of them![/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Balance Changes[/h3]

[p]Nerfed status-effect-based summon upgrades and relics (those triggering after 20 stacks). Overspamming summons was too OP.[/p]
[p]Reduced enemy HP in maps 4 and 5[/p]
[p]Reduced base armor and skill-based armor scaling for Black Knights[/p]
[p]Fewer Assassins now spawn in map 4[/p]
[p]Increased enemy spawn intervals when spawning from more than 3 paths[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Other Fixes[/h3]

[p]Steam Achievements now work again (they were disabled before)[/p]
[p]Fixed a rare bug where units would suddenly stop moving and get stuck. This was caused by a pathfinding function that added too much avoidance to prevent crowding. We’ve removed it—better some clutter than stuck enemies![/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Hope you enjoy this update—let us know what you think in the comments! 😊[/p]

What is next? New Update Sneak Peek!

Hi defenders,

Thank you so much to everybody that purchased the game. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I did making the game. Also thanks to those that spend their time providing feedback.

I'll explain the patch notes from this first week and after that I'll discuss what's comming.

[h2]Hot Fix Patches[/h2]
During last week, I've been patching some of the issues that have been reported. Among others:

Support for all types of screen. Wide and narrow,any screen size. Before it was failing for some wide screens.
Fix an issue where Mac and Linux executables were point to a wrong place. So now it should be playable for all devices.
Fixed some missing characters for Chinese, Korean and Japanese languages.
Some fonts were blurry, now they all are good.
Fixed some German translation mistakes
In some devices, Language and Screen Resolution dropdowns were not properly filled. Fixed.
Fixed an exploit where you could sell all your towers before the end of the map to receive full gold for extra resources.

All of these things should have been detected and fixed before launch, so I apologize for the inconvenience. Several hot patches were done during the week to fix them.

[h2]What is next?[/h2]
I'll be doing one more update with lot more content:

1 more hero
2 more towers + all their tree updates
More skills, skill upgrades, relics.

Also now I'm trying to fix an issue where sometimes pathfinding gets screwed and enemies stop moving. It's rare but it happens sometimes.

Thanks again for reporting the bugs and feedback. You can continue doing so by the links:
