More than two weeks have passed since the release of the game. Thank you to everyone who has already played, left feedback, or added the game to their wishlist.
Thanks to your comments, we were able to identify and fix several issues, improve the balance, and make the game a bit more friendly.
Many suggestions were related to new features, and some of them are now in development.
What is happening now:
Mobile versions for the App Store, Google Play, and RuStore are ready. We are currently waiting for approval from Apple.
Work on a major update is in progress.
A major update is planned for December. It is planned to include:
Mod support, including integration with Steam Workshop
Unique endings for the Necromancer and the Leader
New features for the Leader and the Peasant
Various improvements and fixes
Possibly a new class
Some of these features may change in timing or design, but overall the work is moving in this direction.

Save files from version 1.0.13 are fully compatible with 1.0.14. The warning when selecting such saves can be ignored.
List of changes:
Class requirements have been removed. You can now play, for example, as the Lord without any conditions.
In Easy mode, Hell Attacks now occur 50% less often (was 25%). Easy mode is now even easier.
Added autosave. This helps continue the game even if the player forgot to save and died accidentally.
Increased the maximum mana the Mage gains from each point of the Meditation skill. It was +3, now it is +4. Playing as the Mage is now more comfortable.
Added automatic unlocking of the Farm, Mine, and Lumbermill blueprints when capturing a settlement, if the avatar did not know them, even if they are not in the inventory. Any class can now reliably develop the economy after capturing a settlement.
Added hotkeys for Quick Save (F5) and Quick Load (F9).
Fixed a rare freeze in the tutorial during the wood gathering step.
Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after loading the game right after the tutorial.
Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a game if the save was made while the avatar was moving.
The selected tile is now saved, preventing rare strange situations after loading.
Reduced the required number of slain creatures for the Genocide achievement from 150 to 120.
Text fixes: Spanish, Turkish.

Version 1.0.13
Save files from version 1.0.12 are fully compatible with 1.0.13. The warning when selecting such saves can be ignored.
List of changes:
Fixed: the window close button occasionally shifted position.
Improved: added proper cancellation of Trade when starting drag-and-drop - previously this could cause UI glitches.
Updated Warrior stance system:
New stance order - Attack stance, Balanced stance, Defensive stance.
Stances can now be switched with hotkeys 1, 2, 3.
Tip: Attack stance is effective against Mages, while Defensive stance helps when retreating from battle.
Fixed: when upgrading buildings and centers, the cost was calculated based on the tile where the player avatar was standing instead of the building's tile.
Fixed: experience was not awarded for upgrading centers.
Fixed: in some cases, mines continued to extract resources even after a deposit was depleted.
Updated the game credits list.
Updated texts: Spanish and English localizations.
Version 1.0.12
Released on the same day as the full launch - November 6, 2025. Therefore, a separate news post was not published.
List of changes:
Added Steam achievements.
Fixed crashes occurring during saving and loading.
For Warrior and Leader classes, increased the interval between Hell attacks (making the game slightly easier).
Increased the interval between the first 1–5 Hell waves by 15–20%.
Reduced the effect of the Magic skill by approximately 20%.
Slightly increased Mana cost for level 5–7 spells.
Fixed a crash that could occur when exiting the game.
Fixed parameter calculations in the Statistics window (effects of equipment and buildings).
Fixed: a tooltip appeared suggesting the improvement of a unit that was already at max level.
Added a unique sound effect when defeating a Hell wave monster.
Added a Necromancer notification when enough Remains are collected to raise undead.
Updated localization texts: Chinese, German, and Spanish.
