Hello everyone,

the new 0.7.2 Alpha update for Broken Crown is now available.

This release focuses on improving the first-time player experience, making the interface clearer, refining unit and worker behavior, and adding several quality-of-life improvements across the game.

Tutorial Improvements

A dedicated tutorial scene has been added and expanded with several guided steps to help new players understand the core RTS mechanics.

The tutorial now covers:

• Camera movement

• Camera zoom

• Troop movement

• Basic combat

• Worker actions

• Unit recruitment

• Building construction

• Farm construction

• Library construction

• Tier 2 research

• Tier 2 recruitment

This should make the early experience clearer and more accessible for new players.

Tooltips and Information Clarity

Several tooltip improvements have been added to make units, buildings and tactical choices easier to understand.

• Added base tooltips for units

• Added base tooltips for buildings

• Improved general tooltip readability

• Added descriptions for strong/weak unit matchups

• Added better tactical information for unit roles and counters

These changes help players better understand what each unit and building does, what it costs, and how it fits into the overall strategy.

Controls and Pause Menu

Controls have received several quality-of-life improvements.

• ESC now opens the pause menu

• Camera can now be moved by holding the mouse wheel

• Fixed an issue where reaching maximum zoom could incorrectly move the camera

• Improved camera bounds handling to allow better visibility near map edges

These changes make camera control smoother and improve overall navigation during matches.

Worker and Economy Improvements

Worker behavior has been refined to make manual resource control more reliable.

• Workers can now be assigned a preferred resource

• Manual gathering orders are no longer overwritten by nearby resources

• Fixed farm construction command issues

• Improved worker interaction with resource gathering

This gives players more control over their economy and makes worker behavior more predictable.

Unit Balance and Selection Fixes

Several improvements have been made to combat balance and unit selection.

• Added “strong against” unit balance logic

• Added clearer strong/weak unit descriptions

• Fixed leader single selection

• Fixed King life, defense and attack values

These changes improve tactical clarity and make key units behave more consistently.

Achievements

16 new achievements have been added.

These achievements support progression tracking and give players more goals while playing through campaign, skirmish and survival content.

Final Notes

The 0.7.2 Alpha update is focused on clarity, accessibility and control.

The goal is to make Broken Crown easier to learn, more comfortable to play, and more readable during both early-game setup and large-scale battles.

Thank you for playing and supporting Broken Crown.

More updates are coming soon.
