Hello everyone,

In this first update of October I have now fully integrated the tournament logic into the 'game world'. Tournament arenas now spawn dynamically in the right location just like castles which will tie them closely to the campaign you are playing. The arena can also change based on the type of castle that is built in that location.

This will be iterated on in the next few updates.

Your feedback is always valuable so please share your thoughts!

If you experience any issues or bugs, you can report them using the ingame feedback form, steam discussion or on the recently reopened official discord server.
