A lot of UI Improvements and bug fixes

Hello Stormbounders!

We'd like to announce, that there is a new Development Team to take the reins of our beloved game.

We are therefore very happy to announce that we made an agreement with Sheepyard, a game studio from Poland, to take care of Stormbound moving forward. Sheepyard is a startup that has the financial muscle and capacity to develop the game to new heights, and with their love for the title and the plans they have, we believe Stormbound has a bright future ahead.

Sheepyard's highest priority changes:

- balance patch
- bugfixes
- new content


Sheepyard have also already started their Social Media activity. You can find new (high quality!) daily posts on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. There's also (already hired and doing hist best) a community manager, who's going to entertain you with daily dev streams (on Twitch, Youtube, Mixer, Facebook fanpage, Instagram, and PROBABLY also Steam). You can also find him mostly active on Reddit and Discord. So if you have some ideas or just simply want to talk with a developer, feel free to catch him there.

Let's cross fingers and believe for the bright future of Stormbound! We do, do you?

A new game mode Brawl has arrived! Every week there is a new theme which boosts the stats of a set of cards, challenging you to build specialized decks. Win matches to earn crowns that will unlock powerful rewards.

The Elders are added as the newest race in Stormbound. These 13 units will be introduced one at a time until the end of the year. The Elders are the veterans of their armies and know how to survive battles. They have a unique trigger that allows them to do their special ability after surviving damage.

Also in this update:
- Balanced cards
- Revamped the content of the card books
- Excess cards are converted into coins
- Updated main menu
- Improved interface flow

With this update we fixed a few stability issues:
- “Video cannot be displayed” error that would sometimes appear after winning a match
- Fixed the issue wherein defeated structures would not disappear from the field
- Corrected an issue that prevented some players from loading Stormbound if they were in offline mode in Steam
