Dear Players,
Hope everyone`s doing well and ready for a weekend ahead! With today`s update we are starting a three update combo that will completely rework the core worldmap gameplay.
Today we introduced the town garrison system and town unit recruitment... Though I must admit - the current system is a work in progress. But it`ll all make perfect sense next week, once we expand the garrison to 30 units, and start adding whatever units you had in battle or in town view mode to the garrison. We`ll also introduce building and unit silver upkeep cost, and smart unit placement at the start of the battle (no more raves by the town hall).
Another thing of note, to avoid confusion in the future we decided to change how we refer to our updates. From now on we`ll use the game version to refer to our updates. So today`s update # 12th - would be Update 22. Sorry for any confusion this might cause, so yay - update 23 nextweek:)
In addition we are making a lot of changes to the world map level design, and are happy to introduce our 4th town level - Nantes, France. This huge river port city is waiting for you both in Skirmish and in campaign.
As always - Thank You for your continuous support, and can`t wait for the epic new update next week.
