It's been great to see players enjoy the new map and additions like allied AI commands!
We're deploying a patch to fix some issues players reported, specifically with walls sometimes not doing the thing walls are supposed to do, and knight charges causing units to be stuck in place. Otherwise, we are doing a bunch of other fixes and improvements, trying to iron out any issues that appeared last update. Last update was huge in amount of code changes, so please let us know if you still encounter any downgrades in functionality.
Improvements:
Small performance improvements across the board.
Prompt to show damage comparison for abilities will not show when there is nothing to compare (such as for healing abilities).
You can now rally units to the top-left hero portrait.
More text updates coming in, mostly for Ausrine and Vakarine.
Fixes:
Fixed an issue where gates would sometimes have a gap next to them, causing walls to become passable.
Fixed collision for Baltic towers and houses.
Tracker no longer stays in its pouncing animation if manually redirected during the pounce.
Fixed damage comparison color to be accurate to the percentage.
Stardaughter Sweep can no longer be canceled and then recast. When misused, this allowed the Stardaughters to blender entire armies on their own.
Order Wall segment, Pearlgate of Heaven and Training Camp gets the Rebuilder glyph applied now.
Morning Dew glyph no longer applies to Alka.
If damage modifiers result in 0 dmg, it should deal 1; fixed piercing ignoring this rule where it was doing 0.
Removed duplicate defense types for shielding, which was causing arrows to sometimes not do damage to some units.
Removed an old setting which was causing the build menu to disappear.
Stunning Lights PFX now matches the radius of the damage.
Starlight Barrage PFX now matches the radius of the damage.
Vakarine’s Lietuven’s Ward PFX now matches the radius of the damage.
Fixed Star Barrier sometimes not creating a full blocking wall.
Fixed an issue where changing a wall piece to a gate would cause the wall piece to remain walkable.
Fixed an issue where a knight dismounting would create several knights instead of one.
Fixed an issue where knights charging would cause a desync, which led to units getting stuck in place and not attacking.
In the lobby, fixed Saule's cape clipping through her legs and made her ribbon simulation better.
In the lobby, improved the simulation on Bishop's cape and the cloth of his horse, and made the horse not clip with the ground.
Balance:
Doubled the damage of all Cockatrice abilities.
George’s Paladin skill cooldown increased from 90 to 180 seconds.
Peasant Army glyph has been changed to only spawn an Armed Peasant on the death of the Hovel. Additionally, you start with 6 Armed Peasants.
Fire Spirits can no longer stand on a wall.
Attraction no longer has distance decay on its damage.
AI:
AI commanders should now send groups instead of single soldiers.
AI targeting no longer targets buildings with Starlight Barrage.
In the meantime, we keep working on Act 3 campaign missions, remaining heroes, units, buildings and everything else.

Content Update #11 Is Out Now! - Invasion of Memel - QoL improvements
Content update #11 is out now! Hello everyone, it has been some time since the last update but we’ve got a pretty big one today! We saw a lot of players enjoy the invasion maps, so we’ve added quite a large new one called Invasion of Memel, a map you can play with 1-3 players . S
Content update #11 is out now!
Hello everyone, it has been some time since the last update but we’ve got a pretty big one today!
We saw a lot of players enjoy the invasion maps, so we’ve added quite a large new one called Invasion of Memel, a map you can play with 1-3 players. Some players might recognize it as the old German name of Klaipėda.
Invade a heavily fortified spit of land and destroy all 3 Order shrines. 2 convoys are inbound, stop them or the enemy will be alerted to your presence early.
Next to that we have a whole lot of quality-of-life improvements, including allied AI commands! It has been one of the biggest complaints in the campaign, that the AI player doesn’t always do what you’d want it to do. So now you can boss it around all you want, unless it’s in a particularly non compliant mood. ;) Do please let us know if you encounter anything unusual with this new system, as this is a big change.
Allied AI commands:
You can issue commands to allied AI players in both campaign and custom games. You issue a command by holding down the Alt key and holding right click, entering a wheel of commands. This wheel was already in the game as pings for other players, but now it has a lot more purpose and polish. In the wheel, you can also toggle which AIs should react to the command. It might refuse the request if it’s not possible or if it’s defending its base.
Attack here command - Allied AI will overwrite its commanders to assign its units to attack move to an area until enemies in a small radius are defeated and a small timer has passed.
Defend here command - Allied AI will overwrite its commanders to assign its units to attack move to an area until enemies in a large radius are defeated and a long timer has passed.
Go here command - All combat units of allied AI will force move to a location but keep assigned to their previous commanders.
I claim this command - Allied AIs will not build resource buildings in the area or gift you an existing resource building.
Take this command - Allied AI will attempt to build a resource structure in the area. Additionally, if the area is next to your base and usually blocked for the AI by the game, it will be unblocked. If cast next to a pickup, the AI hero will force move there, if somewhat nearby.
Request resources commands - Allied AI will give you the specified resource if it has enough, otherwise it will tell you no.
Allied AI will sometimes request help when under attack.
Allied AI will sometimes make a ping and notify you when it's attacking a target.
Features:
New challenge map: Invasion of Memel. Invade a heavily fortified spit of land and destroy all 3 Order shrines. 2 convoys are inbound, stop them or the enemy will be alerted to your presence early.
New glyph: Peasant Army - When a Hovel is made or destroyed, it spawns an armed peasant for free.
New glyph: Preparations. Allows for the construction of Silos which increase the maximum amount of resources you can have by 1000 each. In addition, you receive 300 of each resource.
New glyph: Divine Denial. Denies enemy global spells from being cast in the area around the shrine.
New glyph: Spirit of Usinsh. Grants all cavalry units +2 speed.
New achievement: Invader of Memel, complete Invasion of Memel on Insane difficulty.
Saule can now buy Usinsh mount as an upgrade in the Celestial Hold in custom games.
New cheatcode: cc_lust (all new cooldowns get set to 1 second).
The edge screen panning speed is now separate from the normal pan speed in options.
Added a warning for resetting settings.
Worker behavior:
Last update added some additional behavior for better repairing logic, but it seems the workers became a little too eager to fix things all the time. We've done a whole bunch of tweaks to their logic.
When workers finish a gathering building, they assign to it rather than look for things to fix.
Manually walking workers somewhere will no longer have them look for things to fix while they are selected.
Reduced the repair search radius to a more intuitive one.
When manually assigning workers to garrison (or similar actions), they will now all enter, rather than only one.
Fixed the workers sometimes acting weird when the entrance to a building was blocked.
Units are deselected upon entering a tower. This fixes them sometimes popping up in a new location when ejected, because they “walked” somewhere while being selected.
Fixed workers sometimes bouncing between two locations when trying to build a wall.
Improvements:
Skills will now have the caster walk into range to be able to cast it, instead of walk into range and not cast at all. This should make the targeting of skills much more intuitive.
Beginning of UI improvements. Overhauled how damage and defense types are displayed.
Better highlighting of resources when trying to place buildings.
Start of text fixes/rewrite: most of Michael and Bishop abilities and units have been updated.
AI players will now defend more reliably by sending more troops.
Middle click camera movement now works even when the game is paused.
The skill panel can now be closed with the Esc key.
Trebuchet can now shoot into the fog of war and can now be retargeted while it is in cooldown.
Units will find open spots to stand quicker after moving, which should lead to less “dancing”.
Notifications like level up do not overlap on top of the skill panel anymore.
Worker spawn noise disabled when it’s of another player and during dialogue.
Allied rally points are now the color of the ally instead of yours.
George AI now understands how to use the Ascalon and Rally abilities.
Level up button clarity, hopefully it looks more like a button now.
When selecting a unit or building, non-owned abilities no longer show as interactable.
Increased the amount of space around the map where the camera is allowed to navigate. This should make moving the camera near map edges much smoother.
When Steam timeouts user connection, the timer has been increased from 10 to 60 seconds, to make disconnections less likely.
Added sound effects for when you receive resources from allies.
Separated the update rates for the fog of war of units and buildings. This means that enemy units should appear a lot faster.
Distance of abilities for the Nurse have been unified, to make her casting more reliable.
Improved the Tracker unit’s Pounce ability to be displayed as 1 instead of 2 abilities, and removed the delay for the actual attack part of the charge.
Bishop’s Conversion skill cancel range is now slightly bigger than the cast range to avoid instant skill cancellation.
Recommended hotkeys will no longer have the G of unit skill overlapped with the build menu. This only applies to new players; if this hotkey is overlapping, you can reset hotkeys to fix it.
Slight edit on the housing icon to make it easier to distinguish.
Optimization:
Various performance optimizations on units and buildings.
Optimized the AoE casting of AI players. This also makes the casting look more human.
Fixed one of the performance leaks. Other performance leaks have their days numbered. Hopefully.
Fixes:
Fixed healers sometimes just not healing targets.
Fixed an issue where manually targeting several healers had only one of the healers walk in range to heal.
Healers should now chase manual targets more reliably.
Made the range of Nurse’s Shield of Faith the same range as her heal to prevent her sometimes not getting close enough to heal.
Fixed Starfall making pathfinding holes in the map or walls.
Invasion of Skalvia will no longer be lost when one of the players dies.
Unbuilt/unfinished buildings no longer drop destruction rewards.
Fixed an issue where Indraja picking the shadow wolf glyph would cause issues because she already had all unit skill slots full. Her shadow wolves will now be a global skill.
Fixed ranged units sometimes running up to melee range to attack a building.
Fixed that you could queue spam trebuchet attacks to attack faster than the cooldown.
Fixed buildings sometimes leaving ground blockers when destroyed.
Fixed destroyed buildings sometimes blocking wall placement.
Fixed units being able to be pushed off walls by abilities, which caused a bunch of issues.
Fixed golden apple glyph text which wrongly said it could be applied multiple times.
Fixed Giltine’s Kiss upgrade for towers not matching the range of the normal shoot range.
Removed the Hammer of Justice upgrade from the Training Camp, as the unit for the upgrade was no longer made from this building.
Fixed missing text when selecting a random hero for the match.
Indraja’s Lightning Arrow no longer has distance decay for the damage, it was never intended to have it.
The Witch’s Plague Bolt spreads properly again.
Longbowman foul arrows should now hit more reliably, as they were missing the small AoE the other arrows have.
Fixed Mark of the Beast particle effects sometimes clipping with the ground.
Fixed selection circle color sometimes starting too bright and going darker when hovered over.
Pressing Restart on a mission should now unpause the game if it was paused.
Fixed the loot modifiers of Pukis not syncing correctly across the network, causing the client player to see a 0 health Pukis who refused to die. If you see more modifiers not syncing for the client, please let us know.
Activating chat or skill panel will now disable the current active targeting of skills and buildings, preventing strange looking targeting issues.
Alert range of units now matches the chase radius, to prevent units bouncing back and forth when on the edge of alert range.
Fixed the targeting of abilities sometimes being able to cast in the fog of war when they are not supposed to.
Doubled the search range of the Wonderbird to have it come closer to units to actually heal them in the AoE.
Fixed destroyed buildings sometimes leaving a gap or blocker in the pathfinding grid.
Fixed AI opponents in campaign and challenge maps sometimes not being able to spawn units, because their cap was unlimited but the chalice upgrade set their cap to 20.
The sound effects of the throwing nets will now follow the sound effect volume percentage, preventing it from being super loud.
Fixed Trebuchet unit sometimes not repeating its shots, only shooting once.
Fixed units sometimes not being able to attack a gate because they were trying to go through it to attack it from the other side.
Fixed certain skills sometimes shooting several times when casting manually. This was most noticeable with Ausrine’s Stunning Lights ability.
Fixed the wrong voiceline playing for the max wealth warning.
Fixed some networking desync issues that were due to a small float precision mistake, I don’t know what this really means to you as a player because the coder cannot explain it to me in a way I understand, but I guess it’s important so it needs to be in the patch notes.
Fixed an issue where it seemed that units on walls were refusing to stand on certain spots, but it was actually the client seeing the units on the wrong spots on the wall.
Fixed a weird display and sound issue when clicking a building with a healer while pressing the Alt key.
Fixed being able to spawn several Cockatrices from the Castle when you should only ever have one.
The Skybull unit will now get in closer range to better hit units with its AoE attack.
Fixed Zealot’s Mark of the Beast ability being able to be toggled off invisibly, it can no longer be toggled off.
Fixed Saule's hair clipping through her arm in the lobby.
Campaign:
(beware of minor spoilers)
Disabled repathing logic during cutscenes, to prevent characters from having cutscene zoomies.
More tutorial popups.
Fixed certain triggers not firing when a cutscene was skipped. This should fix the bishop hiding on the wall to avoid his fate.
The game now correctly disables all dialogue at the end of the mission to prevent interfering with the triggers of the next mission.
Fixed camera movement tutorial breaking when the player unassigned WASD.
Fixed tutorial tooltips blocking input, especially causing an issue in Bishop’s Bane.
Fixed a bunch of cases of dialogue and voiceline not matching in several missions.
Fixed a missing trigger for the river baptism in Moonlight.
Fixed in Bishop’s Bane that killing Meinhard early would still have his dialogue trigger, causing overlap with the victory dialogue.
Attempt at fixing the Herder of Clouds skycalf achievement in Bishop’s Bane. It seems to work in our tests, but if there’s any more issues with it, please let us know.
The AI player in Union Divided has been given some starting boosts to make them more useful.
Improved voice line volume of Berthold in Siege of Lennewarden.
In Eclipse, doing the alternate mission completion by destroying Ausrine’s and Meness’ shrines should now actually trigger a victory.
In Eclipse, Saule should now defend the fort much better. She was previously only defending her own base.
In Eclipse, Saule AI will now more reliably start casting Solar Fury. If the player is Saule, you will get 1000 faith so you too can go nuts on the enemies. :)
In Eclipse, Saule will now get 7 additional workers at the start of the defense part of the mission.
Fixed missing text in Sword Brothers when destroying the Latgalian tribe’s shrine.
Slightly tweaked some cutscenes in Lone Star.
In Lone Star, Meness now has Blade Dash so he’s not so sad with only one ability.
Balance:
Vakarine’s Trance damage increased by 15.
Dream Refuge skill no longer applies to buildings because buildings can’t dream.
Fire Laume’s basic attack cooldown lowered from 5 to 3 seconds.
Frost Laume’s Glacier ability’s cooldown increased from 30 to 60 seconds.
Catapult attacks no longer have the projectile damage type. Turns out a shield is not going to do much when a giant boulder crushes you.
Rogue's base damage increased by 3.
Avenging Angel’s Sacred Barrier damage increased by 10.
Michael’s base health decreased by 50.
The cost of Manna Grain increased from 100 to 250 wealth.
The faith yield of Manna Grain increased from 1 to 2.
Falling Stars cooldown increased from 50 to 100 seconds.
In the meantime, we have been working hard on the rest of the content behind the scenes. Act 3 and other 1.0 update features are coming along steadily as well.
The recent months have been a little rough for us personally (for non-game reasons) but we continue to head towards the finish line. To help us out with speed, we’ve just gotten another freelancer on board, this time for gameplay writing and QA. In this patch you can already see some of the improved text, mostly for Michael and the Bishop.
Our current planning projection puts us in the first half of 2027. Some very exciting stuff is coming for full release and we hope to see you there.
As usual, let us know what you think! And if you'd like to find some people to play the new map with, or see if you can get some sneak peeks out of us, join the Godsworn Discord: https://discord.gg/r2qBuBXfVc

Hotfix #10 is now live!
Fixing an unexpected campaign issue that appeared last update.
Campaign:
Fixed the cutscene not teleporting characters in Journey from Dausos, making the mission unplayable.
Misc:
Last small patch we sneaked in the April Fools unit, the tank, and then forgot to do patch notes. To use it, enable cheats and enter "cc_cavalry" in chat for some tank action.
Let us know if you encounter any more issues! We read all the messages on forums and discord, and do our best to work through those reports as best we can. Anything critical like this will get addressed immediately as long as we hear about it!

We've had a bit of an eventful month, but we continue getting on with the work!
Most importantly, we are deploying a fix for the crash that seems to have sneaked in last update. We added proper visuals for the resources workers carry, gave Indraja a new unique ability, added a range preview for self-cast abilities, and a whole lot more.
The full list of changes:
Features:
Abilities that have a range around character now preview the range when the icon is hovered over.
Indraja now has a unique ability, Lightning Bolt, instead of Hidden Blade, which was a Meness copy.
Rally points on units are now visualized with a glow to make a distinction from ground rally points.
New bandit camp sets have been added, with order units and order camp visuals.
Converted Tribe glyph building now has a unique Order themed upgrade for the Tribesman.
Indraja can now have Bangputis’s Scarf glyph.
Repair speed of workers now takes into account the total health and is no longer a flat number. This should speed up repairs on buildings such as walls.
When spawning, worshippers will no longer search for repairs to do.
Repair search area decreased by 10.
Added custom visuals for worker-carried resources such as deer, ore and wood.
Campaign:
Journey From Dausos should be slightly easier, primarily on lower difficulties. Some knights were removed because those units were buffed in previous patches.
In A Union Divided, the trebuchets should not start shooting early anymore. This happened because they were added to the enemy AI commander logic.
In A Union Divided, allied AI should now be stronger with some additional resources and buildings.
In A Union Divided, the enemy AI should focus more on human players, preventing the allied AI from dying and losing you the mission.
In Siege of Lennewarden, made the trebuchet quest tent indestructible to prevent the quest from being destroyed by enemy waves.
In Founding of Ryga, the AI allied Bishop should now make walls just like AI allied George does.
Fixes:
Fixed game freeze/crash due to worker repair. This was especially noticeable in the Founding of Ryga campaign mission.
Fixed performance leaks in the push system.
On the Blue Pastures skirmish map, the defending spirits do not fade anymore.
Fixed one of the challenge maps getting stuck in the loading screen.
Woodcutter workers now check if their walking path will be too long to avoid walking somewhere dangerous.
Fixed Cockatrice unit using the Pukis damage. The damage is now a lot higher.
Fixed the mismatch between the visual and targeting area of Golden Embrace.
Fixed Saint aura having wrong text linked.
Fixed the mismatch between tower search range and attack range.
Fixed unmounted Squires missing the shield tag.
Fixed the Sergeant glyph free unit spawning too early before the building is finished.
Fixed Mason Guild upgrade adding additional housing before construction is complete.
Fixed transferring unbuilt houses to allies removing the pop cap the house would have given you, providing a way for the pop cap to be in the minus.
Fixed units not changing targeting after the target was converted.
Naave Spigana no longer applies death-touched to buildings.
Woodcutter PFX should be better aligned and spawn from the tree.
Gave more leeway to resource dropoff, fixing workers sometimes getting stuck on delivery. This is a visual fix only, workers gather rate was unaffected as long as they were assigned.
Fixed worshippers not grabbing the right tools when several were assigned to the same building.
Fixed hunter workers shooting the building instead of deer.
Hunter worker arrows now attach to deer instead of the ground.
Fixed Dominion skill flag being unselectable.
Fixed a desync when the client would release a tower garrison.
Sloth cheat now builds very quickly instead of instant to prevent some issues.
Ripple ability can no longer be cast outside of its range.
AI Improvements:
Indraja AI will actually build houses now. This caused the AI to feel very incompetent to play against. She still has some way to go, but this should be a start.
Indraja AI will build fewer Healing Springs.
Balance:
Lightning vs winged damage decreased from 150% to 120%.
Lightning vs metal damage decreased from 200% to 140%.
Fire Whirlwind damage decreased from 35 to 25.
Flame Shard damage increased from 30 to 34.
Flame Shard cooldown increased by 1 second.
Glacier damage decreased from 30 to 25.
Ice Shard damage decreased from 38 to 30.
Horn of Guidance cost changed from 250 faith to 150 wealth.
Squire food cost increased from 160 to 190.
Stable wood cost increased from 150 to 200.
Paladins gain shield minded, preventing them from being charmed.
Max level for Veterans buff is now 3.
Recognized and veteran units no longer regain full health on level up, only a flat 100.
Cockatrice damage increased from 66 to 77.
Cockatrice Leap ability changed from bite to piercing damage.
Ripple loses the stun. The stun has been moved to the new Lightning Bolt ability.
George’s Legendary aura range now matches the visual.
Leshy’s attack speed decreased from 2.25 to 4.1, while damage increased by 18.
Warrior food cost reduced by 10.
Speed reduction for Frost and Fire Laumes, leaving the Wind Laumes to be the fastest.
Marauder health increased from 240 to 250.
Throwing Axes decreased from 250 to 200 gold.
Stunning Blow decreased from 250 to 225 gold.
Laume housing cost increased from 1 to to 2, to bring them in line with other mythicals.
Lunar Stardaughter magic resistance reduced from 10 to 8 and armor increased from 3 to 4.
Cannon production time reduced from 90 to 75.
Rogue gold cost decreased from 80 to 70.
House of the Black Order wood cost decreased from 300 to 150.
Shimmer teleport can now be cast in the fog of war.
Water Spirits now have 3 charges, but spawn single spirits. Cost is now 35 instead of 100 faith.
Water Spirit damage decreased from 60 to 50.
Fire Laume attacks are now considered projectiles.
Heavy Thrower upgrade attack damage decreased from 35 to 28, but loses projectile damage type to be in line with the base attack.
Skirmisher health increased by 20.
Squire attack speed reduced.
Ranger food cost decreased from 105 to 90 and wood cost decreased from 85 to 75.
Skirmisher food cost decreased from 70 to 65 and wood cost decreased from 115 to 100.
Icy Rain now requires vision to cast.
Tracker base damage lowered to 17, Keythong Spikes upgrade remains at 22 damage.
Known issues:
The counter for how many workers are repairing is not showing the right number most of the time.
The workers are way too intent on repairing things no matter what orders you give them.
Indraja AI sometimes walks towards opponent's base and lets herself die. She also doesn't fully know how to use some of her abilities.
Let us know if you encounter any more issues. In the meantime, we keep working on Act 3 campaign missions, remaining heroes, units, buildings and everything else. We cannot wait for you to see all the cool stuff we have cooking. For now, we can show you a couple mysterious story-spoiler-free teases.

Hotfix #8 is now live!
This hotfix addresses a bunch of issues that cropped up with the last update, and a couple other miscellaneous things. The main issues that have been fixed are: excessive screenshake on shrine destruction and crashes related to the worker assignment improvements from last patch.
Fixes:
Fixed a crash related to structure building logic. We think this was related to various crashes we saw reported, so hopefully it addresses several of them.
Fixed excessive screenshake on shrine destruction.
Fixed worshippers not being able to be reassigned sometimes.
Fixed George being unintentionally available to play in skirmish through a series of interface shenanigans. Worry not, the saint knight will arrive in skirmish in a future update, and you will see why he needed extra work for his last skills. :)
Fixed George being a tab in the glyph list, which might have caused some players to think he was meant to be playable already.
Fixed a bunch of glyphs showing the wrong places where to find them, and hid a glyph that is not yet findable anywhere.
Fixed knights and squires sometimes causing negative housing due to dismounting logic.
Fixed some cloth simulations not being active or clipping with the model: Meness, Indraja, Squire horse, two handed axe warrior and Vakarine on horse.
Campaign:
The starting scene for Founding of Ryga was inversed in difficulty. It should now be easier on easy.
Let us know if you encounter any more issues! We read all the messages on forums and discord, and do our best to work through those reports as best we can.

Since the Act 2 update released, we took a week off to recharge, and returned to working on fixes and updates. This patch comes with a few features that we had on the roadmap, namely - a glyph list, screenshake for abilities and rally on unit.
We also heard the many requests to not have the heroes be locked behind campaign missions. We did not realize that this would be such a pain point for players who enjoy skirmish but who do not want to play campaign, so we have opted to remove the lock on Vakarine and Indraja. As Indraja was derived from campaign, her being a little weird made sense, but now as a hero available for first-time players, she needed to be a bit more polished, so we've made an overhaul to her lineup.
The couple of missing achievement triggers have been fixed, so if you were waiting for those, you should now be able to complete the list!
Here are all the changes in this patch:
Features:
Vakarine and Indraja do not need to be unlocked in campaign to be played in Custom games.
There is now a list for glyphs that shows where you can find them and which heroes have access to which ones. You can access the list by clicking the round game logo button in Skirmish.
Screenshake for abilities to add visual impact. It can be disabled in the options menu if needed.
You can now rally a building's unit production to a unit, such as your hero.
Worshippers that finished repairing a building will now look for additional repairs nearby.
Riders with Grace ability will not leave a dead rider on the ground, only the horse. This is to avoid duplicating the rider by reviving the dead horse. Additionally, a riderless horse can be brought to the stable to get a new rider.
Indraja's Celestial Hold now has a new upgrade for Indraja: Sage Visions, which allows her to get the vision of all units and buildings on the map (requires Enchanted Waters).
Added a new upgrade, Kovas' Raid for Mercenary. When Mercenaries hit enemies, they will drop wealth on death.
Spirit units now slowly decay over time (they stay at 1 HP).
Vakarine gains an upgrade that removes spirit decay.
Indraja will now have Wolf Warriors and Werewolves locked behind Moon Daughter divine skill. Picking this skill will spawn both of the units at the shrine, giving her an option for easier camp clearing in the beginning.
Indraja can now build Rangers from the Silver Temple.
Unique Indraja Ranger upgrade that grants lightning damage, Teliavelis' Sparks, including custom visuals.
Pukis has been replaced by Werewolves in the Witch Cabin for Indraja, as her Wet modifier was making the Pukises kind of useless.
Junda's Bravery mercenary rush animation improved.
When George gets his Ascalon skill, his lance visual will upgrade.
Campaign:
Eclipse should be now easier on all difficulties except Insane.
Increased temporary defense Saule and Vakarine get at the start of Eclipse.
In Eclipse, Solar Stardaughters will no longer start with all upgrades, to stop them from dashing into enemies behind a blocker and be unable to follow you.
Fixed the mercenaries sometimes not joining you in Eclipse if some wolves baited them to run off.
In Eclipse, the Chapel now has a popup with the gold amount you receive.
Fixed Latgalian tribe not counting for the By the Sword achievement in Sword Brothers.
Berry bushes in Founding of Ryga have been put further apart so the allied AI does not claim both.
Mother's Trust achievement in Winter Solstice has been fixed.
Winter Solstice Shroud objectives will no longer update after victory.
Farmstead available for Saule to build in Winter Solstice.
Affixed will no longer double stack for Vaivora, Zesdra and Selija in Winter Solstice, causing them to become invisible through a series of unfortunate code triggers.
Fixes:
Miscellaneous text fixes, mostly for glyphs.
Raiders will no longer throw all their nets on the same target.
Added missing sound effects for Icy Rain.
Several visual Indraja fixes and improvements.
Fixed Meness' leg rotating weird in the idle animation.
Squires have been informed that their horses are not welcome atop defensive walls.
Indraja's arrows vanish quicker on hit and attach.
Lunar Stardaughter blade throw should now take into account height better (and not miss because of it).
Multiple victories can no longer be triggered at the same time.
Pack tactics should apply to the "caster" of it as well.
Silver Tower, Silver Temple and Healing Spring should now return the correct amount when demolished.
Buildings should now show the correct units and upgrades during construction.
Teleportation now properly updates the unit location so that it can be properly targeted. This sometimes caused a unit to not be targeted automatically, due to an optimization in targeting.
Converted Tribe glyph now works correctly on Michael.
Fixed workers sometimes getting stuck on the corners of Forester, Gather Hut and Jeweler.
Healing Spring targeting range is now the same as its healing range.
Squire supply buff no longer applies twice.
Knights should no longer snap inside the ground at the end of their charge when charging on a hill.
Fixed the tooltip for the Sky Cow glyph, it should have been +2 instead of +1.
Ragana's Trinket glyph available for Indraja.
Divine Sigils glyph available for Indraja.
Haunting Lausk glyph available for Indraja.
Tribute glyph now only applies to Order as intended.
Added missing divine skill type descriptions (such as global or passive).
Reduced the XP value of horses to be less then their riders. It happened because the riders had formed a bond and valued their horses higher than their own lives.
Wet spell modifiers do not apply to buildings anymore. The splashes just did not look big enough to wet an entire building. But also balance reasons.
When cycling unit selection with tab, targeting is now cancelled. This is to stop heroes from casting from any unit in their army.
AI Improvements:
Fixed Indraja missing her camp clearing behavior in skirmish. This caused her to not clear any camps, and therefore have very little resources.
Sometimes the AI would target a player that was not there and would sit at base with its units, such as in Heilsberg. This should work better now.
AI should now respect the god-power blocking of the Wonderbird.
Basic AI skill logic added for Rejuvenate ability.
Sleep is more likely to be cast by AI players.
AI sparing logic fixed, they will now focus on getting to Tier 2 more often.
AI will now consider building an additional Warcamp or Barracks.
Saule and Vakarine have unique AI profiles now, which means they will act slightly different from the other AI heroes in skirmish - less raiding, more big attacks, will try to help allies more.
AI will no longer target buildings with Dream Refuge, Starlight, Attraction, Banishment, Revivify, Strife, Icy Rain and Sleep.
Balance:
Solar Stardaughter will now have Flight as the upgrade and Sweep as the base skill.
Minimum hero respawn time of 5 seconds (prevents invisibility issues).
Fire Laume damage lowered from 33 to 30 and range from 16 to 14.
Cold deals +20% against Wet.
Cold Laumes no longer apply Wet.
Indraja's Healing Spring is no longer locked behind a divine skill.
Dausos Tower +100 wood cost.
Dausos Tower construction time from 75 to 90.
XP value of Dausos tower 15 to 20.
Cold Laume Ice Shard attack from 4 to 3.2 cooldown.
Indraja's Frigid Flight from 24 to 35 damage.
Junda's Bravery twice as fast and +4 in distance.
Enchanted Waters cost from 50 to 20.
Starlight damage from 40 to 30.
Hidden Blade setup time from 1.5 to 6.
Hidden Blade health reduced to 50.
Hidden Blade shooting time delay is now 1 second, giving time to potentially kill it.
Hidden Blade now has 0 armor and 0 magic resistance.
Round Tower magic resistance same as a normal tower now.
Foot Paladin now has same regen as the mounted version.
Foot Paladin attack is now correctly physical type.
Other:
Added credits for recent voiceovers.

Act 2 update is out now!
Originally, this update was supposed to be quite a bit smaller, with only 1 hero. But we might have gotten a little carried off - with 3 campaign heroes, new units, 5 chunky campaign missions, 2 new skirmish maps and more. This also means that the total hero count planned for the 1.0 release has increased from 8 to 9.
Watch on YouTube

5 new campaign missions that continue the story, with 2 of the missions being Order faction.
2 new skirmish maps: Blue Pastures (4 player) and Sambia (6 player).

New units in hero rosters: Laumes, harpy-like casters with hero-specific elemental affinities. Kriwes, wise pagan priest casters great at banishing enemy heroes. Paladins, elite knights blessed by Heaven. Squires, mounted archers that can buff other units. Longbowmen, mercenary elite archers. The Wonderbird, a creature of legend that can heal injuries and prevent further conflict. The long awaited cockatrice, a very large monstrous unit, And more!

Fixed an issue where AI spells were not showing their visuals.

AoE spells with angles were offset in the wrong direction, fixed. Targeting should now feel a lot more accurate.
The building grid now gets updated later, to better match the pathing grid. This means you can't build outside of the walkable areas anymore.

Camera pan is not frame dependent anymore, making it much smoother.

Hero randomization should now give you a new random hero when doing another match.
Projectiles will no longer rotate oddly when the target runs off.
Campaign:
Overlapping campaign dialogue prevention setup. While this should improve most cutscene triggers, if you find any cutscenes/events that refuse to trigger, please let us know.
Made it easier to click quests.
Bishop's Bane now has a fail condition. But we believe in you, so this should change nothing.
Mission 6: Eclipse.
Mission 7: Sword Brothers.

We were made aware of a security vulnerability in Unity builds that reached back to 2017. It's a vulnerability that Unity discovered themselves through security research and have addressed it.
From Unity: "There is no evidence of any exploitation of the vulnerability nor has there been any impact on users or customers." Despite no known abuses of this vulnerability, we advise updating all other games just to be safe.
Changes:
Patched the build to fix a potential security risk.
Now, after the shortest patch notes ever, we'd like to thank you for your patience for the next big update. We are working very hard on the campaign and the next heroes, and it's progressing very well.
We also identified that the amount of animation work was a big slowdown on production, so we got a freelance animator to help us get to full release faster.
We'll show more soon in a development update!

Content update #10 is out now!
Today marks one year since Godsworn released into Early Access!
Since then we have added a new hero, 12 maps and a whole lot more. We are working behind the scenes on all future content at once, so that includes all remaining heroes, and campaign acts 2 and 3. And since we stopped doing monthly map updates, development has been going really well and we are very excited for you to see what will come with the major Act 2 update and the 1.0 release.
But most of all, we would like to thank everyone who has already played the game or wishlisted it! And a big thank you to everyone who has given us feedback and bug reports, and a very special thanks to those who have made fanart and motivate us to keep going.
Enough talk - we wanted to show you one of the pieces of content that we’ve been working on, which is the snow clime! We’ve added a 4-player skirmish map: Kaali Crater. It’s inspired by a real crater location in Estonia.
A frozen lake sits at the center of a crater where celestial ore can be found. Due to winter, few berries are available.
We’ve also made some improvements that were suggested by the community:
Features:

New skirmish map: Kaali Crater, a 4-player winter map around a crater.
New clime: Winter.
Celestial ore has been added to the new map, gathering it grants 6 wealth.
Fixes:

Fixed units sometimes running past other units when they should instead stop and attack.
Fixed an issue where damage that went over the target hp amount was applied to the next target. This sometimes caused raiders to torch human units and other similar issues.
Range modifiers will now calculate into the tooltip.
Fixed an exploit with the Bishop where you could get free faith.
A unit is now correctly deselected when transformed into another unit, instead of being shown as the old unit in selection.
Fixed being able to control neutral or enemy units by adding them to control groups with shift clicking.
Campaign:

Trebuchets do not play their attack animation when created anymore.
Quest payments now correctly accept exact amounts, instead of only over the amount.
Balance:

Tracker armor reduced by 2.
Tracker Pounce upgrade no longer grants shield modifier.
Bishop Conversion time reduced from 60 to 45 seconds.
Armor can no longer go into the negative. Magic resistance still can.
Knight wealth cost reduced by 10.
Shadows no longer grant XP on kill.
Wall range modifier now grants 75% increase instead of a flat +10.
As usual, let us know what you think! And if you'd like to find some people to play the new map with, or see if you can get some sneak peeks out of us, join the Godsworn Discord: https://discord.gg/r2qBuBXfVc

We've fixed a couple issues that popped up with the last map update, but also made some improvements in the AI behaviour, and fixed some campaign issues that we kept seeing reports for.
Features:

AI now waits with attacking until it has a better group size on Hard and Insane difficulty.
AI now does not attach the hero unit to harassment groups, only full attack groups.
Fixes:

Fixed an issue where ranged units would sometimes not respond to commands as expected.
The walls now also increase the search range of units to match the attack range increase.
Giltine’s Kiss upgrade no longer lowers the base range of tower attacks.
Campaign:

When dialogues intersect, the new one takes priority, instead of playing through each other. There’s still improvements to make in cutscene overlap that we’re working on.
In Fire and Moonlight, some trigger areas for cutscenes have been moved to prevent overlap.
In Bishop’s Bane, the Skycalf quest can now be triggered by Meness too.
In Bishop’s Bane, the Skycalf’s HP has been increased from 100 to 250. Keep him safe.
In Journey From Dausos, the AI is no longer allowed to take the resources around the shrine, allowing for easier basebuilding and defense.
In Journey From Dausos, the hero now has a base faith income.
In Journey From Dausos, the shrines will now spawn worshippers once the building stage of the mission begins.
Journey From Dausos hard difficulty has been lowered.
In the meanwhile, we are also working on additional features and content. For those who are waiting, info about the speed of campaign progress is coming tomorrow.

Content update #9 is now live!
This month’s update is here with a 7-player map with a PvE element: Apuole Hillfort.
At the top of the map is a neutral fortress that will raid the rest of the map. The first team to grant the fortress an amount of gold will become allies. Alternatively, the hillfort neutrals could be removed by force. This map lends itself well to various setups, such as a FFA match or 3v3s and 2v2s.
For those waiting for the campaign, we will have an announcement soon about the steps we’re taking to focus on that.
Along with the map there are a bunch of changes:
Features:

New skirmish map: Apuole, a 7-player map with a neutral raider hillfort in the north.
Walls now increase the range of units standing on them by 5.
Fixes:

Tooltips should now only appear when hovering over the icon, and not stick around at random.
In the Defense of Bartia challenge map, the victory check area has been decreased, this should help trigger victory better in case some enemy units got stuck somewhere far away.
Call for Crusade no longer spawns units at the shrine if the shrine is destroyed. (EDIT: Reportedly, this still happens sometimes.)
Stardaughter sweep should now scale with the correct stat (strength instead of power).
Balance:

Tech tree change for Bishop: the House of the Black Order no longer requires the divine skill, to make it possible to field Rogues earlier. The divine skill has been renamed Gunpowder, and now unlocks the gunpowder upgrades and unit (Cannon).
Lietuven’s Ward vision range reduced by 20.
Warrior attack speed is faster, from 2.2 to 2.
Warrior cost reduced by 10 food and 10 wealth.
Leshi base attack increased from 18 to 21.
Skybull health regen increased by 1.
Black Knight health regen increased by 1.
Black Knight grenade throw range decreased from 16 to 10. No more olympic level ball throwing.
Cherub health regen increased by 1.
Bleeding status effect interval set to every 1 second, rather than 2 seconds.
Bleeding status effect damage reduced from 20 to 15.
Skirmisher base attack increased by 2.
Skirmisher attack range increased by 1.
Marauder cost reduced by 10 wealth.
Blood Moon cost increased from 200 to 250.
Sunbringer’s Passage cost reduced from 80 to 50.
Ring of Namejs cost lowered from 400 to 300 wealth.
Multiple Herbalists can now heal the same target.
Time to upgrade Order faction resource buildings has been set to 50 seconds across the board.
Bishop Conversion skill cost reduced by 10 faith.
Bishop now starts the game with 2 militants and 1 rogue, instead of 3 militants.
Blunt damage vs buildings reduced from 150% to 120%.
Blunt damage vs shields increased from 100% to 130%.
Meness Hidden Blade ability damage increased by 100.
Footman hammer upgrade now locked behind the Blacksmith.
Monk’s Brew glyph now works on all factions.
Angel units no longer leave a soul to collect for a fraction of time before disappearing.
Selling Indulgences was exploitable, the conversion rate has been reduced from 1:1 faith/gold to 1:0.75 faith/gold.
If you encounter any issues in the game, please let us know. We’re checking all feedback channels regularly, and working on fixes alongside more content behind the scenes. An announcement about the patch cadence and speed of campaign development will be coming soon.

Hotfix #6 is now live.
We had hoped to release this much earlier, but it's here now! This hotfix addresses a bunch of issues that cropped up with the last update, and a couple other miscellaneous things.
Fixes:

Bishop achievements should now trigger correctly.
Fixed CPU leak when starting new matches within one play session. This should significantly improve performance on lower end machines.
Fixed a pathfinding issue where units would sometimes run in place when ordered to attack a single target.
Fixed Divine Sigils glyph missing text.
Fixed error in frontend that could sometimes cause multiplayer issues.
Team chat in Guardians of Treiden should now work.
Glyph shops are now usable by client players as well, not just the host.
Glyph shops should now correctly take the cost from the player.
Attempt at fixing the main menu UI elements appearing double. This issue appears at random so it’s hard to reproduce, so please let us know if it appears again.
Fixed custom lobby names missing. This was due to Steam Deck work in progress.
Fixed Horned Stride not working for Meness in RPG modes.
Fixed chantry attack radius which meant the units sometimes could not attack it. This building is present on Heilsberg and Treiden challenge maps.
Removed a potential issue causing interaction with the Vaiva structure in Bishop’s Bane mission.
Balance:

Tower damage now has the correct physical tag. Due to unit armor now reducing this damage type, the damage has been increased from 12 to 18. Will tweak these numbers as necessary.
Sticks and Bones now has the correct magical damage tag.
Increased cost of Solar Stardaughter in RPG modes.
If you encounter any more issues regarding the last update or would like to give us feedback, we read all messages on the Steam forum, our discord and our in-game reporting tool. We work through these the best we can while we actively work on the next part of the campaign.
