Hey Everyone
Before we jump to the patch details - we wanted to give a warm Thank You to all the new players who joined us this week, thanks for your feedback, reviews and bug reports. And most of all for supporting our small indie company on a quest to create a new worth Grand Strategy game!
Now... it`s another solid update today - introducing fighting battles with up to four armies in the campaign. Sure the second army for now is AI controlled, but we`ll address this in the next update. Today`s patch also includes a lot of new player requested features - from new Cheats menu, to Heal All Units option, and a lot of other quality of life improvements.
We should have the next update 56 the week of June 11. That update will enable controlling both armies in battles (right now AI controls the other one), as well as introduce huge number of new diplomatic features.... and hopefully finally bringing you the first part of Direct X 11 engine update
