It has been a long time since our last patch update, and honestly too long. We have been porting Wartile to Consoles while simultaneously developing the upcoming expansion for Wartile, resulting in lots of new code to the game that had to be sorted out before releasing the hotfixes.

Anyway, here are some of the most critical changes in this update.

Patch notes 1.1.9.4

• AI should no longer overstep and cancel players moves
  
• Possible crash and lose of save game if pressing a certain key in a special menu removed

• Lowered crowsuicide from 2 to 0.5 sec
  
• An important bug - glitch - allowing you to cheat! By pretending to change your resolution during combat it would refill your figurine's health when you returned from options.

We made these significant changes to increase the impact of figurine abilities during battle.


We hope that everyone will have a scary Halloween and find the energy and time to save the villagers from the pumpkin demons.

Spooky wishes from the Wartile Dev Team

Hi everyone

When we started developing Wartile, our goal was to create a miniature world coming to life inspired by our fascination with board games, D&D, and miniature figurines.

Just a few weeks ago, we stumbled across Tilt Fives successfully Kickstarter campaign and immediately fell in love with their tabletop AR technology that brings the miniature world to life.

Wartile is a perfect fit for Tilt Five, and we are very excited to announce that Wartile will be supporting the Tilt Five tabletop AR, and We can’t wait to see the handcrafted diorama boards and battling figurines materialize as a vibrant 3D world in front of our players.



Visit Kickstarter here

If you are interested in learning more about the Tilt Five tabletop AR, drop them a visit and see what they are up to, it's still possible to grab yourself a Tilt Five system.

Best regards

In cover from the cold winds, we have been preparing a small Christmas present for you all, and you even get to open it right away.

The Yule Raid
A new seasonal board is now available during the next few weeks.


Sadly your stockpile of mead is of poor quality and not a Jarl worthy; however, rumors about Lord Havengore’s amazing home-brewed mead have traveled the sea, and soon you set sails to ensure that the Yule celebrations this year is worth remembering.

All difficulty tiers are unlocked, and we recommend taking the one closest to your current reputation level.

The rewards are sponsored by Lord Havengore himself, however without his consent.

• Reputation 3 - Shield of the house Havengore
  
• Difficulty 7 - Sword of the house Havengore
  
• Difficulty 23 - Longsword of the house Havengore

We have received numerous request for a free camera mode allowing players to set up better and more exciting screenshots, and we would like to share the camera tool we are using to setup screenshots and record small movies from within Wartile. Please keep in mind that it's in Beta and might expose parts of the level design only intended to be viewed by us the developers :)

Hi everyone

Days are swiftly passing by, and Autumn have arrived with its dark mornings and chilly winds. Are you are looking for an excuse to stay inside without missing out on epic adventures, brutal Vikings and Norse lore, then Wartile is 35% off and the Original soundtrack 15% off during the Autumn Steam sale.

During Halloween, we had a seasonal board available for our players, and it was a great success, this is something we would love to do more of in the future if we get the chance. We hope that most of you had the chance to get your fingers on some of the rewards, else we expect it to be up again next year:)

We have just uploaded a minor patch 1.1.6.0

We have changed the light setting at the introduction battle board to be more spectacular.


For anyone playing with gamepads, we have made some major improvements regarding communication and controller setup. Please be aware that we are still working on the controller setup and are open for any feedback you might have. We have added a Gamepad feedback post in the forum.

Furthermore, we have made some minor adjustments to the achievements.
Two of our achievements, A Taste for Gold - Collect 1.000 gold and A Collection for Kings - Loot 1.000 items as we realize it was set to a way too high a threshold.

To fix this the three collect gold achievements will be changed from 1.000/10.000/100.000 to 100/1.000/10.000 and loot achievements from 10/100/1.000 to 1/10/100.

If some of you hard working Vikings have been struggling to achieve the 1000 items or 100.000 gold threshold and were getting close, please write us in the comments below and we will find a way to honor your efforts.



As a final note we just want to let you know that we are still making improvements and new content to Wartile and hope that you enjoy Wartile as much as we enjoy making it.

Kind regards

The Wartile Dev Team
