Hi everyone,
It’s been some time since we last updated the Wartile community, but we have some exciting news to share!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284730/Successor/
As many of you may know, we’ve been hard at work on Successor, and it’s shaping up really well. In many ways, Successor is an offspring of Wartile, drawing inspiration from it and incorporating much of the feedback we’ve received from the Wartile community over the years.
We’ve added several new features, including:

Full tactical pause with a unique twist
Procedural systems
A campaign generator for creating campaigns
Deeper meta-gameplay
Lots of playable Lords and Heroes in a world full of creatures.
And so much more
A short demo of Successor is available on the Successor store page during the Steam Next Festival. We encourage you to try the demo and share your thoughts in our Discord channel or the Successor community discussions. Don't forget to make a wishlist and support us if you like the demo.
We’ve also included a few of our favorite images from the miniature world of Successor. As you can see, it retains the spirit of Wartile Games.
Oh, and if you have not yet tried Wartile, it's 70% off this week.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/404200/WARTILE/
Best Regards, and have a great week

Hi everyone
We have just released a small hotfix patch v 1.2.114.0 to fix a few pretty grave bugs that slipped through with the Hel's Nightmare DLC

Fixed a bug At Funeral Mound, the 2nd and 3rd level, where Ralf Stonebone and Ulf Spearhead did not count in the objective counter, when killing them, making it impossible to reach 4 out of 4 kills.
Fixed an issue in Caves of Yggdrassil where spirits located in the "key" room would spawn endless copies of themself, making it impossible to reach the key, yet escape the room.
We have also fixed an issue with the intro menu that, to some players, resulted in a remarkable FPS drop.
In the meantime, we have been made aware of other potential bugs that we are working on reproducing and apply a fix as soon as possible.

At some boards, the music comes to a halt and restarts.
At Caves of Yggdrasil, the secondary objective counts as completed even if it's not.
There might be a bug with saving progress if leaving the game directly after completing a battle board.
Best regards
The Wartile Dev Team

It has been a long time since our last patch update, and honestly too long. We have been porting Wartile to Consoles while simultaneously developing the upcoming expansion for Wartile, resulting in lots of new code to the game that had to be sorted out before releasing the hotfixes.

In cover from the cold winds, we have been preparing a small Christmas present for you all, and you even get to open it right away.
The Yule Raid
A new seasonal board is now available during the next few weeks.
Sadly your stockpile of mead is of poor quality and not a Jarl worthy; however, rumors about Lord Havengore’s amazing home-brewed mead have traveled the sea, and soon you set sails to ensure that the Yule celebrations this year is worth remembering.
All difficulty tiers are unlocked, and we recommend taking the one closest to your current reputation level.
The rewards are sponsored by Lord Havengore himself, however without his consent.

Reputation 3 - Shield of the house Havengore
Difficulty 7 - Sword of the house Havengore
Difficulty 23 - Longsword of the house Havengore
