  • Fixed the issue where the war fog would be reset after loading an online campaign

Pennon and Battle 0.8.02 Minor Patch Update (Hungarian Language Support Added)

Dear Lords,
Pennon and Battle has released the 0.8.02 minor patch with the following updates:
  • Hungarian language support added, switchable in Settings-Basic-Language (currently only partial text translated)
  • Fixed the issue of freezing when casting spells on spell-immune units in battle

We want to first thank community member [Hahakocka] for his contribution. With his help, we were able to support Hungarian in a short time, allowing more players to explore the fantasy world of Ruachland. Note that Hungarian translation is still ongoing, and parts like story campaigns are not yet complete, so these will temporarily use English text. Thank you for your understanding!
Since the game's early access, we've received attention and support from players in multiple countries. We hope to further expand language support, but due to team size limitations, we must prioritize developing new gameplay features. More new features and fun will be brought in future updates, and we welcome valuable suggestions. Your feedback will help us continuously improve the game.
Finally, thank you again for supporting Pennon and Battle. Merry Christmas in advance, and enjoy the game!

Pennon and Battle Winter Sale and DLC Launch Announcement

Lords, "Pennon and Battle" will participate in the Steam Winter Sale from December 19, 2024, to January 2, 2025, Pacific Time. During this period, we will offer a 10% discount on the basic game and the Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack.


[h3]Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack DLC Launching Announcement[/h3]
We received the lords' suggestions about the sales method of the Enjoy Mode, so we decided to launch the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" DLC and adjust the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" purchase method. Now you can directly purchase it on the store page. If you have purchased the expansion pack in-game before, you will not need to purchase this DLC again. At the same time, the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" in-game purchase method will be closed after the DLC launch.

[h3]Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack Discount Announcement[/h3]
We hope lords can enjoy discounts on the basic game and the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" during the Winter Sale, so we will offer a 10% launch discount on the DLC (Pacific Time December 19, 2024 - January 2, 2025). But pay attention, the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" DLC discount will be delayed for a few hours. Before the Winter Sale starts, you still need to purchase the Enjoy Mode in-game at the original price. We recommend lords can experience the Standard Mode first, and purchase the "Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack" discount applied. Please according to your experience decide whether to purchase the DLC. Both Standard Mode and Enjoy Mode contain the complete game content, and the specific differences please check the chart below. Thank you for your understanding and support!


[h3]Future Update Plans[/h3]

We plan to gradually add more gameplay and features in upcoming updates, including Treasure Map gameplay, 3D soldier models for different upgrade routes, and the map editor. Additionally, we are planning to add the Eternight Council Story Campaign, more Alignment-limited content (such as equipment or skills), new multiplayer modes (such as Hot Seat, Online Competitive Campaign, and Championship), and introduce new heroes, soldiers, and more surprises in future updates!

Pennon and Battle Update Period Adjustment Notice

Lords:
Since the early access of Pennon and Battle, we have maintained a weekly update frequency, continuously improving various aspects of the game. We have added two new spell factions and game modes, ten new heroes, dozens of new soldiers, and various alignment-specific buildings, equipment, and skills. We have also listened to the optimization suggestions from lords and made improvements to some issues. With everyone's efforts, the game's stability and experience have steadily improved. We sincerely thank you for your support and love for Pennon and Battle!

As the game continues to update, we understand the lords' anticipation for new content. After repeated discussions, we believe it's time to introduce some larger gameplay and features. Therefore, we have decided to focus on preparing large-scale update content in the future.

Due to the planning and production of large content relying more on continuous development cycles, and our development team's size making it difficult to maintain weekly content updates simultaneously, we plan to adjust the current update frequency. The specific date will be determined based on our development progress. But we believe it won't be long, and if necessary, we will share the development progress of new content in official news or social media.

We are only adjusting the current update strategy, and our original intention to provide a better experience for lords remains unchanged. There are still some issues to be optimized and resolved in the game. If you encounter any issues affecting your experience, feel free to provide feedback. We will not ignore or shelve them and will make small patches or maintenance based on specific situations.

In future updates, we plan to gradually add the following content:
    Add more new gameplay like treasure map gameplay to increase fun and surprises.
    Implement 3D soldier models of different promotion branches to enhance character recognition and player immersion.
    Introduce a map editor function, allowing players to design unique maps themselves.


    Additionally, we plan to add the Eternight Council Alignment's story campaign, more alignment-exclusive content (such as equipment and skills), some new online modes (expected to include hot seat, online battles, and tournaments), and introduce new heroes, new soldiers, and more surprises in future updates.

    We hope to bring these gameplay and features to everyone as soon as possible and welcome your valuable suggestions. Finally, thank you again for your understanding. It is your support that allows Pennon and Battle to continuously improve and progress. We will continue to inject more new fun into the game during the early access period and look forward to welcoming a more beautiful Ruachland with everyone!
