Dear Lords and Ladies!
Just in time for the Steam Autumn Sale, we're not only
discounting the game by 35%, we're also delivering
a load of exciting updates straight to your castle gates!
This patch brings a mix of fixes, changes, and improvements, along with some exciting new additions. Here’s a look at some of the major updates. For more details, check out the
full patch notes below 📜
[h3]Dress to Make Thy Mark[/h3]
Also new is this grim armour set inspired by the events of Tankred's Journey:
a cultist's robe, forged for battle and ready to be worn with pride!
[h3]Where Have You Gone, Hunter?[/h3]
Our
Special Figures have received a bit more attention in this update as well. We've recognised that their presence could be more strategic: No longer tied to events,
they can now be hired from their respective buildings, making it easier and more rewarding to outwit and deceive your foes!
[h3]And where do I belong?[/h3]
Our
Heritage system has undergone a major update. We've
removed their cost, and you can now find your selected heritage proudly displayed on a shield next to your scenario character.
Choose your faction wisely, as it will still play a key role in shaping your strategy. And keep an eye on the enemy's shield - it will tell you a lot about their strengths!
[h3]But that's not all...[/h3]
Of course, there are many more changes in this update, and
work continues on a certain desert themed add-on. We're getting ready to share more news and give you a sneak peek at the story early next year.
Until then,
enjoy this patch and, as always, let us know what you think in the comments or on our
Community Discord!
