I am gathering feedback, so all suggestions for updates/upgrades are welcome!
As next thing I will focus on more 1v1 Maps, as they seem to be most played in Multiplayer.
Thank you for playing Liquidation!

Original postThe time has finally come
It took years of work to reach this point. I kept delaying the release because I wanted to be absolutely sure the game's quality was where it needed to be for players and buyers. My focus has always been delivering a smooth, fluid, responsive RTS experience - and I finally feel the game has reached that level. I hope many of you will find what I’ve created entertaining and engaging. And for those who don’t, I can only promise that I will do my best to improve the game as development continues.

Factions
In the current version of Liquidation, three factions are fully playable
Crusade
Scourge
Legion
each already fleshed out with distinct units, heroes, and playstyles. While the core identity of every faction is in place, there are still improvements planned.
Each faction is expected to receive an additional hero and possibly an extra unit to further expand strategic depth. Some abilities may also change or evolve over time. Now that the game is released, there’s no better way to refine these elements than through direct player feedback. Your experiences, suggestions, and criticisms will help shape how these factions grow and improve.
Campaign
The Early Access campaign includes the first two chapters, each containing three missions. You’ll be introduced to the world through the perspectives of both the Crusade and Scourge factions. The campaign is not linear—you experience each faction’s viewpoint within the same timeline, giving you a broader understanding of the conflict, its motivations, and its consequences.
Skirmish Mode
Early Access launches with six skirmish maps, supporting 2 to 8 players.
Whether you prefer competitive 1v1 duels or the chaotic intensity of 4v4 team battles, there’s a map suited to your playstyle.
Some maps also include a Victory Points mode, offering an alternative win condition: capture and hold critical locations to secure victory through map control rather than pure army elimination.
What’s Next
To be fully transparent: there is no strict update timeline. I want development to remain flexible so I can respond to player feedback and evolving needs.
That said, the story‑driven campaign will always be the main priority. The next chapter will introduce the Legion faction and expand the world even further.
I also plan to explore making the map editor public, and I’m interested in experimenting with multiplayer‑driven co‑op scenarios.A Final Note
Please remember: this is still an Early Access title. Many aspects are subject to improvement, and I will do everything I can to refine, expand, and polish the game as we move forward.

Original postSteam Next Fest is officially behind us! The Liquidation demo was just disabled for the time being, as it stopped being representative of the current state of the game.
Now, this post isn't here to get you talking about the game, or to remind you to wishlist (though please do both!). We’re here to show off a feature that we believe should be the absolute gold standard for RTS games everywhere.
Replays
Replays are a pretty standard feature for deterministic RTS games like Liquidation. But what isn't standard? Jumping directly into the driver's seat while watching one.
Behold the replay control panel:
That's right, you can now TAKE CONTROL of a replay mid-watch. Made a fatal mistake in a battle? Rewind, take the wheel, and see how the match could have played out if you tried a different strategy.
Note: Currently, the Take Control feature is single-player only.
Check it out live in all its glory right here:
Watch on YouTube Watch your matches. Spot your mistakes. Take control and fix them.
More news coming soon - stay tuned!

Original postBack with another look at what's cooking behind the scenes for Liquidation.
Once the battle dust settles you might want to know exactly how you performed. That's why the Debriefing Screen was created!
No more guessing who carried the match. The new post-game summary will give you a complete breakdown of your performance, featuring dedicated tabs for:Overview: Your standard post-match scoreboard.
Units/Build: Track exactly what was created and what was destroyed.
Heroes: See how your champions stacked up against the enemy.
Resources: Analyze your economy and resource management throughout the match.
Whether you're looking to flex your high score on your friends or figure out where your economy fell behind, all the data is now right at your fingertips.
Since you read this much of this post - please note the Save Replay button! Replays have been fully functional for quite some time, but it's probably the first time their existence is so exposed for everyone to see.
Let us know what you think of the new debriefing layout in the comments or over on our Discord. What other stats would you like to see tracked at the end of a game?

Original post Smooth and responsive unit movement is one of the pillars of a great RTS experience. And although Liquidation provided decent movement systems, they were far from perfect. There were still instances where units could get stuck or choose less than optimal routes. Large Behemoths trying to squeeze into the narrowest gaps :) And it wasn't good enough.
So, I decided to take another deep look into movement systems!
What did I improve?
Far smoother movement - units no longer snag or jitter (or far less)
Significantly improved collision avoidance - units avoid obstacles / enemies with better precision
Better wall avoidance - units will no longer walk into forests ;)
Improved pathing for large units - large units no longer try to walk areas where they don't fit
Better performance
This overhaul doesn’t just feel better, it plays better and performs better.
And you can try that for yourself by checking out our demo!

Original postNext Liquidation Demo is here!
Starting June 3rd, 2025 - the new Liquidation demo will be live for one week only!
In the demo you can:
- Battle the AI in classic skirmish mode
- Face off against other players (lobby based, no matchmaking)
- Play the recently announced King of the Hill mode

In some ways - a lot has changed. In others, things feel familiar.
First off, the commander system has been replaced with a hero system - something you might recognize from a certain legendary fantasy RTS.
We’ve also made further improvements to pathfinding and collision avoidance, boosting both unit behavior and overall game performance.
Then, of course - we added:
- The Scourge Alliance
- King of the Hill mode
- New visual and effects and polish
- New voices
- New icons & unit portraits!
- New environments

Original postThe Scourge Alliance
Please, welcome the third fully playable race in Liquidation - the Scourge Alliance!
Rising from the depths below the ground, the Scourge bring with them an arsenal of highly advanced technology and a force unlike anything the surface dwellers have faced before.The gloomy and enigmatic underworld that lies under the endless sands of the buried city of Al’akam was reawakened during the catastrophe.
The Scourge Alliance consists of many different creatures, with Lamias and Toadkin forming the backbone of their armies. Some of their units are equipped with energy shields that reduce incoming damage, thus giving them a formidable edge in battle.
In the event of another demo coming out anytime soon, The Scourge will be available. All frog and lizard fans - your time to shine has come!
With technology never seen before by the surface dwellers, the Scourge Alliances unyielding advance into enemy territory... Not to quell their thirst for Quenrium, but in pursuit of the truth about the catastrophe that decimated the world
Curious to see them in action? Here's a look at Scourge gameplay:

Original postHello Everyone!
We had some discussions on the Community Discord in February and March about introducing new game modes to Liquidation.
From those discussions sprung King of the Hill mode, now it's live in the game and fully playable!
How does it work?
In King of the Hill (KOTH), you can win by either wiping out your opponents or reaching the target number of Victory Points.
Victory Points counter at the top right of the screen.
Monoliths
In order to earn Victory Points, a player needs to capture and hold Monoliths.
Send any infantry unit (not vehicles) to one, and they'll begin capturing. You will see a clear progress indicator near the structure.
An Engineer from the Crusade capturing a Monolith.
Capturing enemy-held Monoliths takes away 100 points from player, so aggressive play pays off.
This redemption mechanic will allow you to rip victory away from your opponents hands, if they don't guard their Monoliths well enough!

Original postLong time no see! We've had a huge break from writing news, but the game development didn't stop even for a moment in that time. Actually, there's been a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes.
Anyway, today it's time to talk about Pathfinding in Liquidation.
There've been some significant updates recently, and it's time to share them with the community!
To start the topic, here's a dev view of how buildings can now look on the pathfinding grid in Liquidation:It's important to note that before this round of changes, the buildings were simple rectangles on the pathfinding grid. Now, the shapes on the grid match the actual buildings much better.
The consequence of them being simple rectangles was as simple as the following picture present. The units weren't able to sneak through corners. But now, after the change - they can.
That also means Dominus can finally walk between the two buildings and deal decisive blows to anyone who dares to oppose the Twilight Crusade!
Now that we've got that out of the way - let's move on to the meat of this news post.
You might remember from the news about Corrupt Nether Environment that idle avoidance response got improved in Liquidation. That was another one of the steps towards what's shown below.
Using other avoidance behaviors, Local Avoidance introduction improved unit behavior around buildings.
After that, and a few updates later, we've arrived at the results you can inspect on the video here:The Corruption raids a Twilight Crusade outpost, who's going to win this battle? Will it influence the war efforts?
Watch on YouTube Please share your thoughts!

Original postThis week, we're ready to announce that Liquidation now supports community translations! We will be looking for people to help with translations in the future, so keep your eyes peeled for further news, as this is a community-driven effort!
For starters, we ran an automatic translation to the Korean language. Next, we invited the community to begin translating the game to Spanish and Polish languages. The system seems to work, which bodes well for the future. We're still testing and uncovering bugs.
The screenshots you can see here present some elements of the Polish translation of the game. There are still some kinks to be worked out with the fonts, but nothing we can't accomplish over time.One of the features that we want to keep in the game is switching between languages in the game on the fly. You can change the language in the settings even during a match. Currently, we're testing English, German, Polish, Spanish, and Korean texts, as it seems people speaking those languages are waiting for the game the most, according to our Wishlist data.
Incomplete translations will have their missing texts keep the English versions.Please let us know what languages you'd like to see next for the game!
