Hello Everyone,
A big thank you once again for all the help, support, reviews and feedback you’ve been sharing since launch. It’s been amazing seeing so many of you in-game and on the forums and in-game`s chat, and your reports have been vital in helping us track down issues and improve the game day by day.
Welcome now to our 4th daily update — and this one is a big one. And the best part - everything we`ve worked on has been suggested by You - in-game, on the forums and discord.
So...stability continues to improve, but the final fix for crashes is coming in tomorrow`s update... sorry for the delay. We’ve also fixed several long-standing bugs that affected siege weapons, carts, and pathfinding, and the overall flow of gameplay is noticeably smoother.
We’re also introducing some major new gameplay features with this update. Battles now feel more alive and dramatic thanks to a new retreat phase for defeated enemies, where you’ll have 60 seconds to loot, destroy, or chase them down. Surrendering AI will open their gates, ranged siege can now attack the ground, and ranged units gain a new volley ability to strike from afar. On top of that, a brand-new 5120x1440 resolution option has been added for players with ultrawide setups.
Your feedback keeps shaping the game every single day. Please keep posting your thoughts and suggestions — I’m in chat daily and checking the forums constantly to make sure nothing is missed.
