Greetings fellow Mages!
The first Early Access update is here! Based on your feedback, we added new features (you can change the game speed or scale your UI) and improved some of the existing ones (you can stop your units from attacking an enemy island and Gold Mines are now much more profitable). Also, enemy Empires won’t instantly rebuild bridges (yeah!) and we dealt with some game-crashing bugs! You can see the full list here:
New features:
- Game speed settings: you can now set the game speed to one of 4 available options
- New bridges: there are 2 bridges available for both Humans and Dark Elves
- Controls tab is now unlocked in Game Settings, allowing you to set your own keybindings
- Master Volume has been added to Audio Settings
- UI scaling option has been added to Video Settings
- A Christmas tree has been added to our office
Major changes:
- Deleting an Attack Flag on enemy islands now stops the attack for all the Units involved
- Improved buildings placement on islands
- More profitable Gold Mines
- The cost of Ritual Implosion has been increased from 400 to 700 Mana
- The cost of Fireball has been reduced to 30 from 50 Mana and it can now be cast on enemy structures, not only enemy Units
- Improved spell effects for Fireball, Ice Shackles, Heal and Magic Eye
- Human / Dark Elven Adept, Human / Dark Elven Leader and Human / Dark Elven Overlord now requires 1/3/5 wins instead of 5/10/25
Bug fixes:
- Enemy Empires don’t spam buildings (Bridges, Cottages or Watchtowers)
- VSYNC supports high refresh rate monitors
- Few bugs causing game crashes have been fixed
- Minor improvements and bug fixes
Most of all, we are only getting started! You told us about bigger diversity of races and that’s one of the most important things we’re currently working on. New race is looming on the horizon too, so brace yourself as new content is already on the way.
Thank you all for your dedication, detailed feedback and tons of positive comments and reviews - you are amazing!
May your lands remain unshattered,
- Luke
