Version 2.0.0 has been released! This patch brings major changes to the game, such as the addition of spearmen, of readable scrolls (which provide slight permanent bonuses to heroes), and the addition of 42 new music pieces which Marcelo Fernandez kindly contributed to Wyrmsun!
And, of course, the two faction flair packs have been released! Check out the Frankish Faction Flair Pack and the Brising Faction Flair Pack DLCs in Wyrmsun's store page. With the releases of the DLCs, the game is going to be free on Steam, with the sale of (cosmetic-only) DLCs being used to finance the further development of the game.
