Dear monarchs!

Here--
Wait, my monarch, where are you going? What do you mean you've got to try on some new clothes!? And who let these horses loose? Ugh! The amount of work I have to do around here! Well, no matter, let me jot down these newest changes and updates to our lands for all to read.

[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]

• Patched up the money purse. Coins should no longer drop randomly without the ruler's consent.
  
• Fixed an issue that would sometimes prevent the player from sailing away to another island. The issue seems to have been related to the refresh rate of the player's monitor. Please let us know if the problem still occurs by sending a report to our support portal!
  
• Archers in the Norse Lands setting should now have enough courage to actually board the boat when the ruler rings the bell, instead of idling by the dock.
  
• Removed some sweet tunes so that only one music track, rather than two, is playing over the credits after the player has destroyed the final Greed cave in the campaign.
  
• Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the game to crash and display a Unity error on boot.
  
• The achievements "On the Ninth Day" and "I am an Equestrian" should now trigger correctly.
  
• Fixed several mechanics and visual issues for the Crusher Greed.
  
• Fixed an issue that would force the game to boot in 5x zoom after the first load, regardless of previous settings.
  
• Fixed a visual issue that would sometimes cause the armor to turn invisible on armored Big Greed.
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause Big Greed to follow a ruler transformed by Loki or Gebel's ability.
  
• Fixed a visual issue that would cause Greed copied by Loki's ability to highlight incorrectly when it suffers damage.
  
• Fixed a visual issue in the Shogun setting that would cause the Warhorse mount to display the wrong skin when using the Inspire ability.
  
• Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the Norse Lands item shrine to cycle to a different item while the ruler was making a payment.
  
• Fixed a rare issue that prevented players from earning ranks in Challenge Islands.
  
• Fixed the positions of layers and backgrounds for several structures in the game.
  
• Fixed an error in the Korean localization.
  
• Minor visual, UI, and audio fixes.
  

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

• Your ruler will now wear the cursed crown in all campaign settings after earning it in all single-player Challenge Islands.
  
• The Sleipnir mount will now show the correct running animation in the forest.
  
• Units who are called to the walls by the Horn will now stand closer to the action.
  
• Players will now have different colored wolf cubs when playing co-op Dire Island in the Shogun setting.
  

[h3]Additions:[/h3]

• Added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F12 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+F12 on Mac) that immediately exports your save file and logs to a zipped file on your desktop. This should prove helpful if you ever need to report an issue to our support portal.
  

Whew, my hand's cramping after penning all that. Hmm, what else is there to share... Oh! I know, how about this lovely illustration painted by our own dear Monarch. I have no idea what this haiku they've written is about, but perhaps it's a hint of future changes?



Thank you to everyone who's sent feedback and bug reports for Kingdom Two Crowns. 🙏 Be sure to join our Discord and follow us on Twitter!

Onward and safe travels! 👑

Dear Monarchs!

Rejoice for we bring to you glad tidings. Kingdom Two Crowns is part of Steam's Lunar New Year sale! From 27th of January to the 3rd of February 50% fewer coins are needed to buy the game.

Perhaps you've traversed your lands alone for many a season, so now is the time to gift a copy of the game to friends (and foes?) alike. 👑

Dear Monarchs!

The Winter is long and harsh, and we hope that your Kingdom stays strong and hearty during this time (for those of you with lands in the southern hemisphere, well... enjoy your sunshine and bountiful crops!).

We come today bearing gifts, I'm unsure if they'll keep you warm, but I'm optimistic they'll at least bring a smile to your face.



Yes, they're here! You can now get your hands on some lovely Kingdom Two Crowns trading cards!

You can get your own cards just by playing the game; in fact, if you've already played, expect them to pop into your inventory soon. If you wish to complete the set, the rest can be acquired through the Steam Community Market or traded with others via the Trading discussion forum here on Steam.

Crafting a complete set of cards will yield you a lovely game badge that you can display on your user profile. During this process, you can receive random rewards, including emoticons & profile backgrounds.

As a little sneak peek, here are some of my favourites.

Backgrounds
I love how the key art for two crowns gives the perfect negative space to show off my Steam Profile. Including this one, there are three to collect in total!

Emoticons
There are 10 in total, and it was a proper arduous task to narrow down which ones I wanted to show you. Life as a Queen really means making the tough decisions!


(A)Greed is firmly (mostly) an office favourite and we hope you have as much fun with it as we do.

I wanted to take the time to thank you all for your comments and thoughts over the Winter holidays. We've been reading them all and are pleased to announce that difficulty modes is something we're looking into and will be coming in the future! We want to give all you lovely Monarchs the options to play the game with the challenge level that you feel comfortable with. Myself, I love a good Blood Moon and Winter slog, but I sometimes I just want to build myself a lovely little Kingdom without too much thought about those pesky greed. I hope that you, too, will enjoy these different difficulty options in the future.

Long Live You All!

Dear Monarchs!

By royal decree, we celebrate the third anniversary of Kingdom Two Crowns. To mark the occasion, Kingdom Two Crowns will be free on iOS this weekend, Saturday December 11 and Sunday December 12!

Your prosperous reigns remained steadfast in defence against the advance of the Greed. Each new island and realm was explored, challenges were met, and countless attacks rebuffed. And, through it all, you expanded, creating magnificent empires. Watching you work together, share strategies, discover and learn the game together, and continue to grow one of the best game communities ever fills us with creative energy.

It was that same inspiration that filled our hopes for Kingdom Two Crowns at launch three years ago. We set out to create a deeper campaign that kept the familiar Kingdom feel, full of new challenges and ready to be shared in co-op. As the community grew, so did our ambitions for making new lands to explore and conquer, complete with new settings, mechanics, and units.

Your support helped guide the evolution of the game since launch. You, our dear Monarchs, have shown how much you care for Kingdom through your many suggestions, posts, and videos on all of our social platforms. So when we expanded the available settings with Shogun and Dead Lands, it turned out to be fuel to an already roaring fire. Once we heard calls for a more challenging experience we created Challenge Islands, but made sure that those who overcome them are rewarded. And today, we build upon everything we’ve done with Norse Lands, a premium expansion filled to the brim with unique mechanics and visuals, steeped in Norse mythology. It’s an experience we’ve wanted to make for a long time and we’re delighted to hear that you are enjoying it as well.

Here we are, back again at a point not unlike before Kingdom Two Crowns. Your spirit for the game has us full of ideas. These three years have been incredible. Now in the ones to come, we have our bar to beat.

We look forward to continuing to build, explore, and expand the Kingdom world with you, Monarchs.

Long Live You All!
