Hey Everyone,
First of all we would like to thank everyone who have joined us on during the launch weekend! Thanks for all the feedback in-game and on the forums. We are happy to have such a great bunch of players with us.
Also thanks for your patience with the game, as we are just starting early access and expect for everything to be ironed out and working nicely within two weeks. Admittedly there were some bugs and issue on release, though luckily not that many.
We are continuing work on enabling undead armies in-game, and hope to bring you this free DLC in the very near future. We have also just released the music DLC.
We are also finishing translations - and full Chinese, Russian, German and French translation will be added this Wednesday. It would take a bit more time to complete other languages.
With that said, lets take a look at our first update, we expect couple of more solid updates later this week.
