Hey Everyone
It`s been a busy Spring for us, as we are wrapping up work on the massive visual game engine update, about to switch the game to DirectX 11 later this month, and same time making a lot of progress towards bringing you multiple army and coop experience in the campaign.
Today`s update is a great step forward in this direction, and while a lot of work still remains behind the curtains, we are finally ready to give you multiple armies functionalities in auto-resolve.
Together with many other battle related changes on the campaign map, this update really transforms the army management, and how the campaigns are thought on the campaign map.
We should have the next update 55, completing the multiple armies fighting on actual battlefields, ready for you towards the end of May and (fingers crossed) - bringing you the first part of Direct X 11 engine update.
And so, presenting Update # 54:
