What's Cooking ?

Hi everyone

Stepping out of Early Access was an awesome experience, and we have been pleased to see Wartile being enjoyed by so many people. During the first few weeks, we were busy fixing bugs and adjusting features that had slipped through our testing. we also implemented achievements with a slight delay.

Wartile is much more than just a game; it’s a system that we intend to keep expanding on to make it bigger, better and richer by adding more content and keep polishing the gaming experience. We aim to both build new content for everyone already part of the universe, but also to improve features and mechanics that we can learn from our community need more attention.

Here are some of the new things we are working on

Ability timing and communication
We feel that that ability used by enemy figurines could communicate better and we are working towards making it clear which abilities are being used and inform you if you can counteract them. An example of this could be showing that a figurine is actively casting an ability, allowing you to stun the figurine to stop the casting. In general, abilities will be the same but with more information, if you can avoid or prevent them.

Battle Encounters
We intend to improve the overall presentation of encounters and their tactical challenges for the player in a relaxed and exploration-friendly environment offering the player more time to plan for each encounter while also enforcing the narrative experience of each board.

New Battle board
Draugr is on the move, and dark clouds of evil will soon cover Midgard.

Work in progress preview

Small adjustments
We are revisiting Alfablot to make sure that players can complete the difficulty tiers instead of dying trying. The same goes for some of the masochist achievements, that might need a second sanity check, together with other reported issues.

The Dark Ages
We have also started working on something bigger for Wartile, and we can reveal that things are looking grim in Midgard, and the realm will soon enough be needing its heroes again.

PAX East
Also: April is around the corner, and PAX East is about to begin. And as you now have already guessed it: We’ll be at PAX this time, for the first time. Showing off something… new for the game which will come to the PC Version as well but which affects the game itself and its future, too. Sounds cryptic? Well, to make it a bit more precise: Soon you’ll have another option to chose how you want to control your Vikings! Meet us in Hall A, Booth 10052 to learn more.

We are keeping our cards close, but want to let you know that we are cooking like crazy from our office in Copenhagen and we are looking forward to sharing more.

Greetings and Happy raiding
The Wartile Dev Team
