{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39971013/759d9019ad55b3438de96c3ad29b9a6378b1dd16.png Greetings Knights, First, we would like to thank everyone who checked out the game, gave us feedback, left a review, downloaded and played the game. We are now currently featured in the Steam Summer Sale frontpage. As a student project, this is a huge milestone for us and it would not have been possible without all of you! With this update we are bringing a lot of improvement to the game and a new shiny Game Mode for you to enjoy: Challenge Maps! Challenge Maps consist in a series of different scenarios with different characteristics: in some of them you can freely build your Castle without worrying about the Golden Horde, in other ones the Golden Horde will get even more aggressive than in Hard difficulty. Some of these maps are still experimental, let us know what you think about them and which ones are your favorite, we are all ears! We heard your feedback about Endless. We smoothened the difficulty curve along the entire experience. Talking about Mongolian business, here is the patch notes with all the major changes that this patch brings to the table. I’ll see the bravest Knights at the end: PATCH NOTES 1.1.5: New Features: New Game Mode: Challenge Maps are now available to play! You will be offered 13 different new maps, from relaxing scenarios where you are able to build your empire in peace to extreme difficulties where the Mongols will overwhelm you with their armies. Added 6 new shiny achievements for you to unlock! These achievements will challenge you to reach certain conditions in a single game! Visuals: Reworked terrain on the Skirmish (and Challenge Maps) selection screen. Added destruction animations to the Military Camp. Added destruction animations to Keep level 2 and Keep level 3 upon defeat. User Interface and User Experience: Changed text on the timer for Skirmish and Endless.
