Hey Guys and Girls,
The team is on a roll, and parallel to working on Undead Rising expansion, we managed another solid patch for you guys to enjoy. Every change in this patch was created extensively with the player in mind. With that said, many of the changes should be easy to spot in the game, and will significantly improve your experience with KW2B.
With Undead Rising free expansion less than two weeks away, we are back into crunch time mode, and can`t wait to unleash the awesomeness and new content that is coming!
And so - presenting "Kingdom Forths 1.4"
