Hey Everyone,
Welcome to another big update. With this update campaign playability goes up quite a bit, and get ready to be challenged by the AI, and get ready to even lose...sometimes.
To start things off we`ve added full persistence to the level saves. Now your unit position on the walls or on the ground, as well as worker tasks are all remembered. In addition we changed how your units spawn when you enter the town for the first time - with everyone getting auto-positioned in just the right spots. AI got a lot smarter and better as well - so get ready for some real challenge. From AI properly manning the city walls, to progressing on the world map - attacking more often and with larger armies as time goes by. And last but not least - 4k resolution got some love, making the game fully playable in UHD and other high end resolutions.
Our next update will be delayed by a few days - towards September 22nd, but it`ll be worth the wait due to huge new features - from upkeep cost, to research tree implementation, transferring units between armies and towns and so much more.
