Welcome!

Today's update doesn't revolve around the list of changes, but around the gamepad knob! From today Clash II receives full support for this type of controller. This is not the only change - players waiting for new maps for Skirmish mode can try their hand at three new maps:

• King of the Golems (1 vs 1)
  
• With Fire and Wood (3 players)
  
• The Great Hunt (4 players)

Another change is related to graphics - the backgrounds in the city screens have been changed to be more vivid and detailed, while optimization has been improved. This is one of several factors that should positively affect the loading time of the castle scene.
In addition, the update includes a solid pack of patches and bugfixes.

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS day has arrived: Clash II version 1.0 is now available! After over a year of tweaks, fixes and hard work, we are leaving the Early Access stage.

At the very beginning, we would like to once again thank everyone who took the time to check out the early versions of the game and share their ideas and thoughts with us. It is thanks to you that Clash II became the game we see here, and without you it would have been impossible. But remember, this is not the end of the journey! Reaching stage 1.0 is a milestone for us, laying the foundation for further development of the game. As today's update puts a new game mode - hot seat - into your hands, this is what will be the main theme of future updates. We want to take the time to create more maps for this game mode for you and add them in the form of regular patches. The game will also get new language versions, and perhaps some unannounced visual update! Of course, bugfixes and balance tweaks won't be left behind either - we keep referring to your feedback you leave on Discord.

To celebrate this day, Clash II is available at a 15% discount until the end of February. So if the Early Access stage didn't convince you to give it a try, now might be a good time to set foot on the continent of Karkhan and support one of the sides in the conflict!

Yesterday's update was a special one for us, as it closed the roadmap we had planned (except for one small exception - about that in a moment).

In exactly one week, on February 15, Clash II will leave the early access stage! We are as excited as you, the players who took the time to test the Early Access version. Thanks to your feedback, suggestions, comments and ideas, Clash II has become a game that realizes our shared imaginations. A big thank you for this amazing journey!

Yesterday we shared with you a huge update, covering all stages of the roadmap except one - the hot-seat game mode, which will be released in a week. Right now, most of our team is spending every available moment on testing and tweaking, so that once you know Harwig's story, another fully polished adventure on the continent of Karkhan awaits you.

Thanks for being with us!
