HOARD Steam Update April 22: Easter Eggs and Multiplayer Demo!
There are new treasures in the kingdom!
For a limited time, you will find some eggs if you are lucky! Collecting enough eggs earns you the "Egg Hoarder" achievement. This is work a solid 2,000 Hoard Points, which will help level up your Hoard Profile in no time.
Get out there quick, though--the eggs won't be around forever.
Also, for those wanting to try HOARD, we've enabled limited multiplayer play in the demo. Try out "Lucky Town" (competitive) and "A Bridge Too Near" (co-op) for a taste of multi-dragon action against/with humans!
This update also includes many bug fixes and improvements. We are continuing to work on issues and won't be happy until everyone is having a seamless experience.
Happy holidays--enjoy!

Strategy Tip of the Day: ARMOR UP for Safety
The inhabitants of the realm are not friendly!
Archers, while weak individually, become deadly when grouped. Knights pack a punch, and hero knights can surprise even the toughest dragon with their wallop. On top of all this, wizard towers act as arcane sentinel artillery, and other dragons are always eager to pick on a weak wyrm.
While upgrading Speed and Fire Breath are sexy, improving your Armor can be critical to achieving good scores, and especially in multiplayer play. Every time you are wounded and sent back to your hoard, you lose your score multiplier. That is your lifeblood to big treasure.
If you find yourself constantly getting injured, then you probably need tougher scales! Put a few upgrades into ARMOR and your tactical options will increase greatly. Knights will stop being able to do one-hit kills, archers will seem less irritating, and even upgraded wizard towers won’t be quite as deadly. A fully-upgraded armored dragon is a sight to behold, with horns and armored wings and tail.
Having extra hit points in multiplayer can also mean the difference if your opponents like to fight. Store up a MEGA-BREATH powerup and let your armor soak the damage while you toast them and send them packing…and scoop up their gold, naturally.
