Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Steel on flesh, blood on snow, swords and shields will splinter. Ere season’s end the brave shall know to fear the Scourge of Winter…

The Desecrators have scoured Ostaria with reckless abandon, taking land and lives at their leisure and stoking fear in what little hope yet flickers in the ruins. Though met with brave resistance from the armies of Turul Város, a decisive blow is needed to truly free the North from this tyrannical terror… It’s time to cut the head off the snake!

Ride out and face the Scourge of Winter, dark captain of the Desecrators, in a brand-new PvE boss fight launching February 8! Get a glimpse of this mode in a new traveller’s guide to the Royal Falcon Tavern, where rumours of the Scourge of Winter’s hiding place first originated:

PVE MODE: THE SCOURGE OF WINTER

Accessible via the Battle Interface (press ‘J’), The Scourge of Winter PvE boss fight can be challenged with a maximum of three heroes. The Desecrators also demand that you leave your units behind before throwing down the gauntlet. Tread carefully...

The Scourge of Winter waits in the belly of a gloomy vale. Armed with a poleaxe and fuelled by the hatred that burns behind his black armour, he’s larger and more powerful than any adversary you’ve faced before. That said, don’t expect him to fight fair! The battle is fraught with challenges and hazards, including cavalry mobs of Desecrators who will ride to their master’s aid throughout the fight.

The Blood Archon and Ice Archon, two of the Scourge of Winter’s cruellest and most cunning lieutenants, will also heed the call of battle. The triple threat of the Archons and their captain is not to be taken lightly — keep them away from the Scourge of Winter, and try to pick them off before their combined might gets the better of you. The fight will push you to your limits, but stay on your toes, keep your head up, and don’t miss your opportunity to strike down evil where it stands. The liberation of the North rests with you and your blade!

See you on the other side!

After being successfully reintroduced as a Free Battle map, Hidden City has returned to the Siege rotation. Just bring up the Battle screen in-game (press ‘J’) to join the matchmaking queue. You can then check out the guide below while waiting to join the fray.

Hidden City



History

There is some logic to the idea that if you give somewhere an unattractive name, no one will want to go there. However, there will always be a determined minority, with resources equal to their curiosity, who will try to seek it out. Hence why Hidden City quickly became a popular destination for conquering warbands, rather than the quiet backwater town its citizens hoped it would remain. Unfortunately, by the time an effort was made to rechristen the settlement, it was too late and the name had stuck. Only the occasional sandstorm is able to obscure the city these days.



Scouting Report

Hidden City maintains a low profile that should be easy to defend. Its wide battlements can accommodate large numbers of troops, all with unobscured views of the featureless terrain beyond and the uncomplicated layout within. Once the outer wall is breached, both sides should be able to reinforce and counterattack almost at will, promising intense battles with quick and decisive outcomes.



General Tips

• The main gate is relatively well defended for a Siege map, so be prepared to switch your attention to the flanks at a moment’s notice. Taking or holding point A is a key objective for both sides, so broadening the front line may be necessary for the attackers.
• The straight streets are surprisingly good terrain for all unit types, including cavalry. Just because you need to be direct in your attacks, doesn’t mean the defenders will play to the same script. Just when you think a control point is about to become yours is when it’s most likely to slip from your grasp. Remain mobile!
• The attack is going to be focused on progressing from point A to B and then to C in a fairly direct route. The inner terrain will help such an advance, but equally, it allows the defenders to direct lightning-fast counterattacks. Both sides will need to harass the enemy with mobile units to maintain or suppress the main flow of the attack.
