Knowledge Is Power: Rule Through Strategy and Insight! 🗺️

[p]Aside from a 40% discount on the game during Steam Summer Sale, this patch brings another exciting update! (Some of you honourable knights playing on our Beta branch may already have discovered it 👀)[/p][p][/p][p]If not, here's a rundown of what you can expect: Rising Lords is all about planning, tactics and outsmarting your enemies (or even your friends...). Therefore, it is only fitting that you will now be able to plan more thoroughly by taking a glimpse at the size of the opposing armies. [/p][p][/p][p]Do you find yourself taken by surprise by an unexpectedly large enemy force when you try to invade foreign territories? Do you spend ages recruiting a huge army, only to realise that you could have easily carried out your conquest years ago?[/p][p]These and other annoyances are now a thing of the past. While we of course won't reveal the complete composition of enemy units, this new feature will help you estimate your own standing, allowing you to make more calculated attacks.[/p][p]Use your newfound knowledge wisely, and conquer the map ⚔️[/p][p][/p][p]Rest assured that we, as always, have much more in store than just this new feature - for more details, see the Changelog down below. [/p][p]We are currently preparing and updating many systems for our upcoming DLC The Pilgrim War. For news on that end, you'll have to wait a little while longer, but we hope you'll enjoy these changes in the meantime![/p][p]Finally, we would like to thank all our supporters who regularly send us feedback. Thanks to you, Rising Lords continues to improve, even more than a year after its release 🎉[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun and let us know what you think, [/p][p]~ Team Argonwood

[/p][p][/p][p]Some of these changes were already applied to 1.2.1 but weren't mentioned in a changelog.[/p][p]Lots of systems were rewritten to allow for the addition of the new Pilgrim War content. [/p][p]more on that soon! :)
