[h3]News: Backers Physical Perks[/h3]

As you know, we had originally planned to be able to ship out your Kickstarter Backer Goodies in time for Iron Harvest PC-release. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 crisis continued and many of the numerous small and high-quality companies we partnered with suffered setbacks and delays.

We can now reveal that production is underway and we’ve been sent these awesome photos of the goodies. On the left we have the faction medals and the battle bag on the right



While manufacturing has started, we can’t confirm at this point an exact shipping date. We are hoping, with easing Covid-19 restrictions, that this will be in or before the summer. Of course, we’ll announce more as soon as we know more.

However, we have used the extra time to work with the manufacturers to enhance the quality of the metal-build figurine. Check out these awesome photos sent to us of the manufacturing process, metal molds, bases and packaging. It’s happening!

[h3]Info: March Highlights[/h3]

This month our bi-weekly updates have centered around players feedback regarding the campaign difficulty curve and providing A.I. options when setting up custom games. You can now customize the A.I. faction and difficulty in Custom Games for you and your mates to go comp stomping.


[h3]Next update:[/h3]

• Open Slots in Skirmish/Custom matches, making 1v2, 2v1, 1v3, 3v1, 2v3, 3v2 and 2v2 on a 3v3 map possible. You can also 1v1 or 2v1 on our 2v2 maps.
  This is not “Free for All” because that requires extensive map reworks & new maps.
  
• A.I. improvements based on your feedback.
  
• More balance and gameplay improvements.
