Autumn's Favor: A New Patch Graces the Lands!

Dear Lords and Ladies!

Just in time for the Steam Autumn Sale, we're not only discounting the game by 35%, we're also delivering a load of exciting updates straight to your castle gates! This patch brings a mix of fixes, changes, and improvements, along with some exciting new additions. Heres a look at some of the major updates. For more details, check out the full patch notes below

Dress to Make Thy Mark

Also new is this grim armour set inspired by the events of Tankred's Journey: a cultist's robe, forged for battle and ready to be worn with pride!

Where Have You Gone, Hunter?

Our Special Figures have received a bit more attention in this update as well. We've recognised that their presence could be more strategic: No longer tied to events, they can now be hired from their respective buildings, making it easier and more rewarding to outwit and deceive your foes!

And where do I belong?

Our Heritage system has undergone a major update. We've removed their cost, and you can now find your selected heritage proudly displayed on a shield next to your scenario character. Choose your faction wisely, as it will still play a key role in shaping your strategy. And keep an eye on the enemy's shield - it will tell you a lot about their strengths!

But that's not all...

Of course, there are many more changes in this update, and work continues on a certain desert themed add-on. We're getting ready to share more news and give you a sneak peek at the story early next year. Until then, enjoy this patch and, as always, let us know what you think in the comments or on our Community Discord! ~ Team Argonwood
