Update 36 - Balancing and Fall Sale - 33% off

Hello Everyone,

As we near completion of the first Diplomatic features, we wanted to spend a bit of time balancing out the middle and late game. Today`s update 36 is a small one, but each change will be very noticeable and greatly effect how you play the game.

Moving forward elite units will become just that - elite units, and player will not be able to field a full army of elite units, having to rely on more high level base units. Upkeep cost will come a lot more into play when it comes to unit composition. Same time town management loopholes are gone, and only variety of economy buildings will generate enough income. The big new feature of this update is the world map collision. With Armies unable to climb mountains or to cross rivers without a bridge, choke-points and strong-points really come into play when positioning your armies.

Also with Steam Fall sale starting today, Medieval Kingdom Wars is now 33% off, biggest discount that we had so far, and a great time to grab the game.

As always - Thanks for your support!

And so - presenting Update # 36:

New Features
-World Map Armies now can`t climb mountains or cross rivers without a bridge
-Income generating building of the same type generate a lot less income, promotes variety

Balance Changes
-Strong Units like Swordsman and Crossbowman price and upkeep increased
-Elite Units price and upkeep greatly increased
