Welcome, Lords!

Update 0.11.0 has just been released, and I won’t hide it, this is one of the biggest updates I’ve ever made. In the new version, you’ll find, among other things, two new missions, two new combat units, a refreshed user interface, and many other changes and additions.

Many interface elements have been changed to give it a consistent look and improve readability.

Two new units have been added to the game - the Warrior and the Crossbowman. They can be recruited in the Barracks, but only after unlocking the appropriate research in the Forge. To unlock the Warrior, the "Axe" research is required, while unlocking the Crossbowman requires the "Crossbow" research.

Warrior – a powerful and durable melee unit. Occasionally, it performs a strong axe swing, dealing area damage that can hit two units at once.

Crossbowman – a versatile unit that fights both at range and in close combat. Its arrow can pierce through the first enemy and hit another target behind it.

Regarding the future development plans for the game, in the next update I plan to complete the survival campaign so I can start working on a new game mode, where players will have more freedom and won’t be limited by time. One of the things I’d also like to add in the next update are Steam achievements that players will be able to earn during gameplay.
