Lords and Ladies!
It is time for another major update for Rising Lords: the
Scenario Editor Update! The new and improved
Scenario Editor gives you all the tools you need to not only create new multiplayer maps like before, but finally also
to create your own storylines, with their own custom balancing, goals and much, much more! The new editor actually gives you most of the same tools and options we're using for crafting Rising Lords' story campaign! This will also mark a small change we will be doing in some of the game's naming conventions in a future patch: every map that has a story connected to it will be playable in
Scenario Mode, while basic free-for-all maps will fall under the new
Skirmish Mode umbrella!
This is a very community-focused update and a love letter to the
amazing community who helped (and are still continuing to help) shaping Rising Lords to what it has become so far.
Thank you all so very much! 💖
As such, we will have a special contest starting
*right now* on our
Community Discord server, where interested map creators can not only win cash prizes and Steam keys, but also
the paid opportunity to help shape the actual story campaign of Rising Lords! More infos down below!
And in addition to that: Rising Lords is also part of the
Steam Summer Sale, so if you haven't grabbed the game yet, you can do so right now at a
20% discount!
Rising Lords: Scenario Editor Update
