Hello dear players, Age of Defense finally leaves Early Access. We worked hard on this game for last years. It took a lot of time and our efforts to finally bring the game to current state. Age of Defense is a classic TD game in unusual setting of ancient earth. Actually, we made 5 different ages for game. The players start in the Microbe Age and plays forward to Ice Age. Each Age contains unique bestiary of monsters with cool abilities and etc. In the end of each Age, the player must defeat a Boss. Boss fights are really epic. There is a cool trailer our artist made. [previewyoutube=CVp-q5Iwy7Y;full][/previewyoutube] We added all content we wanted to the game. All defender haves various abilities. So expect various strategy option to pass levels. We made a cool in-game story with 10 animated movies. We prepared epic soundtrack for the game. Each Age contains 3 tracks. Huge skill tree is unlocked after beating Level 3. It allows to power up your tribe during the game. In other words, we really hope that Age of Defense brings something new to the TD genre. https://store.steampowered.com/app/603320/Age_of_Defense/

Age of Defense: Prehistory

Also, we prepared a small prologue for the game. It contains 3 unique missions and other cool stuff. So, if you doubt, just try this first. The duration of the game is about 2 hours. It has 15% of main game content. So, if you like it. You should definitely try the original game. We even added 7 Steam Achievements to it. We know ,you like it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3042480/Age_of_Defense_Prehistory/ We had a long marathon to prepare these titles for release. So, we are going to polish them in future after a little rest. Let us know what you think and please reports about bugs you find.

[previewyoutube=XaUkdFftvII;full][/previewyoutube] Hello there, We have received an abundance of positive feedback regarding the Warstone soundtrack. It is available in a special DLC along with 30 artbook pages and contains 14 beautiful tracks with 35 minutes of total length. As a special treat, we've decided to create a video showcasing the complete soundtrack. This means you can now enjoy these melodic masterpieces anytime and anywhere, essentially creating a digital monument for the game! Our talented artist has crafted simple yet charming visuals to accompany the music. If this initiative is well-received, we are excited about the prospect of sharing soundtracks from our other games on YouTube as well. Thank you for your continued support!

Upcoming Games

Warstone was released more than 5 years ago. We have worked diligently on our new games, and they are both nearing their release. Age of Defense and Guards II are set to be released in Q1 of 2024. Let's delve into more details about them. https://store.steampowered.com/app/603320/Age_of_Defense/ Age of Defense is a casual tower defense game set in the backdrop of ancient eras. We've dedicated five years to the development of this game, overcoming numerous challenges along the way. Currently, the game stands at 95% completion, with only the addition of sounds and bug fixes remaining. We put our souls into that title. The game features five intricately designed and unique worlds, each with its own bestiary. The culmination of each world is marked by an epic Boss Battle. We've crafted a compelling storyline for the game, complemented by eight minutes of animated cartoon videos to narrate it.
Players are presented with a choice among 24 towers and 5 spells as they defend against hordes of monsters. Our design incorporates over 100 distinct monsters, offering an extensive array of content. Additionally, Age of Defense boasts a substantial skill tree, featuring over 80 skills in total, all crafted in the style of cave paintings. The soundtrack, a formidable task undertaken by four different composers, comprises 18 tracks. The challenge lay in the scarcity of references for this particular moment in Earth's history, compelling us to pioneer and create a unique musical atmosphere for the game.
In essence, we aspire for Age of Defense to make a significant mark in the TD genre. Currently in Early Access, the game is available at a substantial discount. It's worth noting that the game's core elements won't change in the Full release, making this an excellent opportunity to dive in. Have a good game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2394780/Guards_II_Chaos_in_Hell/ Guards II: Chaos in Hell is a sequel to our first game. At a certain juncture, our producer found himself with an abundance of free time and decided to embark on the creation of another game. Forming a new team, we dedicated two years of hard work, leveraging our collective game development experience to expedite the process. As of now, the game stands at 95% completion, with only the tasks of crafting the music and finalizing localizations remaining.
Guards I originated as a side project when our main programmer fell ill. Leveraging the graphics and sounds from Warstone, we managed to create a new game swiftly. Guards marked our debut on Steam Greenlight and the first game we shipped to Steam. However, being our initial endeavor, Guards I exhibited some significant flaws. Learning from this experience, during the development of Guards II, we addressed these issues and implemented better design decisions, resulting in a game that is nearly flawless. With the addition of numerous new mechanics, Guards II feels like an entirely new and impressive game. The gameplay is seemingly simplejust swap two heroes to make a turn. However, the mechanics are remarkably intricate. Players are compelled to make crucial decisions to sustain their progress. The core concept encourages forward-thinking, resembling a tiny chess game, as some players have noted. Furthermore, the game unfolds across five distinct underworlds: Egyptian, Asian, Nordic, Slavic, and Christian Hell. This diverse setting introduces players to a plethora of mythological creatures, while the ambiance is enriched by 12 captivating tracks.
By the way, Guards II boasts truly unique main game mechanics. We are confident you won't find anything like it on Steam. The rules are simple, yet the mechanics delve into profound complexity. As mentioned, the game is nearly complete. Be sure to add it to your wishlist so you won't miss out. Play with us,

Hello there, We are keeping polishing Warstone TD. It is pre-final version now. There won't be any new features. We are going to fix remaining bugs. We added Steam Cloud Saves during development of 2.11 version. It had a big flow what players couldn't keep save files on their PC. So, we made an another system in 2.12. The game uses PC save file as priorited. If there is no save file on the PC (player deleted it or reinstalled game) then the game will download it from Steam Cloud. Now players can keep and share their save files whatever they want and do not fear to lose their progress. Also, we made Offline mode is default for Chinese players, because they are having troubles often playing Online.

Gameplay Changes

We revised whole game and made a lot of small tweaks in mission wave fulfillment. Some waves got easier, some got harder. It should make overall difficulty curve of the game is more linear.

• Damage of Witcher was increased by 2. Damage of Inquisitor was increased by 3-4.

• Small improvements of wave fulfillment of next missions: Ordeal, The Dark Forest, The Outpost. Added some Stones and scrolls to drop rewards. Some waves were weakened.

• Added 25 gold to the starting gold on On the March mission.
• Difficulty of Piedmont missions was reduced in certain waves. Added more scroll drops.

Hello there, We have great news. Our programmer worked hard during last months. And he did it. He ported all server code to the client code. So, in this update we have added a complete offline version of the game. It is a really solid work. It is like to write whole game code from the beginning, because he moved the code from one programming language to another one. He spent more than 400 man hours and more than 4 months in total. We did it, because A LOT of players asked for full offline version. So, here it comes! Offline mode works as you would play alone in the server and this server is located on your PC. It means, you do not need internet connection at all. There is no lags and no delays. You can move your save_file whatever your want to continue playing. You can move from Offline to Online version of the game at any time in the main menu. These versions use different save files, so you won't lose your progress if you want to try Offline version. If you want to move your progress from Online version to Offline version - write in the forum. There is no multiplayer in Offline version. You still can play co-op missions in solo. Also, offline accounts don't participate in leaderboards.
Also, we started making a new guide with all info about game mods and hidden features. It is still in a progress. We are going to finish it in the next update. Section about repetitive rewards are completely finished for now. You can help us with your ideas what we should add to this guide also. Original game (online version) is almost bug-free. We have only 20 tasks in our track list. Most of them are so small, so you can't even notice it. We are working on fixing them. Offline version requires a lot of testing and checking. Basically, it feels like we should test every spell, item, upgrade, ability and check/fix it. So, you can help us with your bug reports. It will speed up the development, so complete bug-free version will come sooner. Thanks in advance.

Bug fixes

Hello there, In this update we added Linux port (a lot people asked for it). We tested it, it works fine. We are keeping polishing the game. So we fixed a lot of bugs. There will be 2 more updates for Warstone. Please, if you see any bug, report it in the bug thread in the forum. We try to fix it.

Game changes

Hello there, We are keeping polishing the game. Our mate composer prepared awesome sounds for all DLC stuff. Unit attacks, mob deaths, abilities, special actions and etc. They are really cool. The game becomes for atmospheric with them. We hope you will like the game more with them. Also, we slightly changed some sounds of Prophecy campaign. Like Stone aura spell, shoot sounds for Spirit Elementals. Added a sound for activation of Defender Spirit spell. We got player reports and made changes. Finally, we added sounds for procs of Knights, Amazons and Assassins passive abilities.

What will we do next?

[olist]

First of all, we want to try to port the game on Linux. We have got a lot of requests for a past few years. We can't promise anything, but we will give a try.

Another feature we want to add is the Steam Leaderboards. We think it's cool when your friends can see you on first page of the leaderboard.

Finally, our programmer is working on full offline version of the game. It is like playing on other server with only you online. Player could play co-op missions in solo only. Also, both versions will use own save progress. But you can play both version at the same time. [/olist]

Hello there, The development of Warstone is coming to its end. We made the DLC. We translated it to all languages.Now we are finishing polishing the game. Anyway, we added 2 new features with this update. First one is the ability to play co-op levels in solo. A lot of players asked for this for a long time. It was an uneasy task, but our programmer could make things work. Just create a co-op mission and click the start button. Now anyone can finish them If they couldn't find a mate to beat co-op missions. Go get all Steam achievements! Secondly, we added Hell+ mode feature. We made this option for hardcore players who find Warstone too easy game. When you start a game on Hell difficulty then write hell+ xxx in chat. Where xxx is a number from 300 to 5000. So if you write hell+ 5000 then health of enemies will be set to 5000% from default. Try to complete the first mission when the usual boar has 750 health. Can you beat? We sure you can. Enjoy! Finally, we added improved font style for Polish localisation and improved tower attacks. Now ranged units finish their attack if the targeted unit leaves the attack area.

Bug fixes

We are finishing polishing the game. In that update we checked and fixed all bugs which had been reported. So it's kinda of a pre-final version. We are going to gather bug reports for another month.

Hello there, We added last language in this update. The Korean translation was made by Jaeik and Nyanco Chanel. Jaeik translated the original game and improved the text several times, so it should be great. Also, our fan Grzegorz corrected the whole Polish translation. He made more than 400 changes in the text. We have added names of these men to game credits. Thanks for helping us! This update doesn't bring something really new, but we made a lot of fixes in game balance. Check the lists below. Also we lowered the difficulty of the Final mission of Chapter 1. Several players complained of a sudden increase of difficulty compared to the previous missions.

Units Changes

We have gathered a lot of information about towers and their usability. Most of users prefers one towers to another. So, we decided to make unpopular towers more useful.

Skills Changes

When Astral Voyage add-on came, it increased total amount of skill points significantly, so it was hard to change a skill build. In previous updates we improved skill system. We added an option to remove a single skill with right mouse button. If this action is unavailble then the game shows which skill blocks an action. Reset skill button reset skills of one class only now. All these changes were asked by players and we implemented them. Now we think the system is easy to change your skill build.

Co-op improvements

First of all, we finally found and fixed the nasty bug which made the game stuck in end of win/lose of all co-op missions. It wasn't easy, really. Our programmer spent several days on this task. We added the last co-op map in Warstone universe. It is Double Spiral mission. It is the biggest map in Warstone, contains 2 roads and a lot of space for stone placement. An Idea of spirals should motivate teammates to communicate better if they want to pass this mission. For now, we added only story mode of this map. Harder version comes later and they will be nearly insane. There were an annoying bug with numbers of rewards for co-op missions. There were displayed wrong in several places. We made some changes in the code. It should show right numbers everywhere now.

Skill points system improvements

First of all, we added new building, Nechai's Flower. It allows to buy extra SP. We set SP limit of 140 for all players. A few players duo different reasons had more than 140 SP. We manually reset their SP and reduced their amount to 133. So, all players have equal possibilities in co-op and PvP battles now. We added an ability to reset asingle skill with right mouse button. The game was designed for 60-70 SP. It was doubled with DLC release, so sometimes it was really annoying to reset skills and choose them again. A lot of people asked for this feature. It wasn't an easy task, but we did it. Also, we added another small feature. When you press Reset of Skills button then you reset only skills of chosen class. Also, we added 99 level. We hope, these changes will make Warstone more pleasant game.

Another changes and improvements

Hello there,

This update came much faster than previous, but it still adds a lot to the game. First of all, we added last mithril abilities for level 4 units. Destroyer got Mines ability. It allows to place mines on the ground which damage and stun enemies. One Destroyer can have 3 mines placed at the same time. Demigoddesses get Polymorph ability. They can transform enemies into harmless sheep reducing their armor, magic resistance and movement speed. It also disables their active abilities. Finally, Plasma Elemental has got Death Ray ability. If unit dies under effect of Plasma Ray, it explodes. Nearby units get damaged and slowed. It is extremely strong ability.

New PvP stuff

We removed 9999 mifril price for barracks of Wolves and Eagles. Now you can build them, obtain achievements and summon units in PvP games. Another 10 units also available in PvP now. We rebalanced some units before DLC release. In this update we balanced their PvP forms as well. We changed Knight Tamplier, Inquisitor, Spirit and Warrior Elemental. They have another price and stats now. Also we fixed some bugs with PvP units. For example, Armored Wolf had wrong movement speed, Sorcerer cost more than she did in tower form and etc. New units and their abilities [olist]

Monk and Mystic have Phase Shift ability with 15% / 20% chance (it allows to avoid any damage). Mystic also can regenerate over time.

Predator and Deathmonger have Crystal Shield ability which absorbs damage. Deathmonger also cast Execution ability which stuns towers.

Cannoneer and Destroyer have Mortar ability. It shoots projectiles at PvP units at other roads. Destroyer also stuns towers in small area for a short period of time.

Sorcerer and Demigodess have Medium ability (moves to astral on getting damage) and improved Healing. Demigoddesses also get Polymorph and Astral Burst abilities (move all allies to astral upon death).

Scorch and Plasma Elementals have Avatar ability which increases armor and magic resistance with low health. Plasma Elementals also significantly slow all nearby towers when it dies.

Astral Soarer and Crystal Soarer have Phase Shift ability with 3 seconds cooldown. Crystal Soarer also spawns little crystal creepers in getting damage.

Finally, Rocket and Turbo wolves can increase their movement speed. Turbo wolf also leaves a Smoke Cloud which helps allies to evade some attacks. [/olist] Also, we added Worse than Death Survival and Challenges of The Power of Love and Crystal Swirls.

• Fixed the red error when starting We Came in Piece Survival mission

[ 2020-08-28 19:48:42 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello there,

We want to apologize for such a long delay before an update. We had several unexpected things which we need to deal with before we could continue the development. Anyway, it is here and it is ready. First of all, we added 2 last story DLC missions. The Lair is maze level. Actually, it is the biggest maze level in the game with a lot of possible ways of placing stones. By the way, our programmer improved the code for maze building, So players could build the longest maze with 50 or more stones. We hope you enjoy that.
The Power of Love is the last story mission of Warstone. You start only with Nechai and debt of 750 gold. There are 3 long roads which converge at the point of Sleeping Rushana. So, you need to be everywhere to win. Later stages you will have so high gold income, so you could build/place up to 50 towers.. Also, Evil Betelgeuse casts bad spells on you. So, this map is full of action. We hope you will like it. Besides of missions, we added last 2 battle units. It is Executioner (an upgrade of Predator) and Plasma Elemental (an upgrade of Scorch Elemental). They are the strongest and the most expensive units in the game. Also, a bunch of new upgrades comes with Tavern level 2 to 5.
We fixed Hot Air Ballon and we added 2 astral co-op missions, Narrow Island and Crystal Swirls. They have different difficulty and contain enemies from Astral world only. Anyway, players who don't have DLC can play the level. We added Challenge mode of Awakening, Death Trap and Survival mode of The Frontier, We Came in Peace and New Allies missions. So, we added 10 missions in total whereas DLC previously had only 10 missions.

Scorch Elemental changes

We have got several reports about weakness of new Elemental towers. Yeah, they were weak. So, we made several changes. First of all, we increased base damage from 15-15 to 17-18. Secondly, they have armor reduction which stacks, so the longer they attack the stronger effect enemy suffer. Thirdly, upgrade for summoning cost comes after you pass 8th mission, so Elementals will be cheaper. Finally, Scorch Elemental now has similar to Witcher ability. It increases damage with every second. Actually, it increases the damage by 2 every second. So after attacking same target for 9 seconds, damage dealt is doubled. Not bad. The strong point of Elemental level 3 & 4 is to kill the big and tough enemies. We think, it fits this role perfectly. P.s. Elemental level 4 will have awesome mithril ability which we will add in the next update.

Bug reports

• Enemies in Maze level chose better ways now
• Fixed the bug when players couldn't build very long mazes and got "Impossible to Position" message all the time
• Fixed the critical bug when killing Scully mob with Spear Throw led to game crash.
• Fixed the bug when cast of Purge spell removed Bounce ability from Shieldmaidens and Valkyries
• Name of Skullhead mob is shown properly now (was with Russian letters previously)
• Fixed the bug when fast enemies slowed down on corners
• Visual effects of Elemental Warrior on Night map were corrected
• Fixed the bug when first frame of attack animation of Priestess got lost on the game screen
• A lot of visual fixes of attack animation of Plasma Elementals.
• Fixed the bug when damage spells like Lightning didn't deal damage to Crystalbacks
• Fixed speed movement bonus animation for Boards (Chapter 1)
• Fixed the bug when retargeting didn't change a target of Plasma Elemental
• Predator and Executioner mobs now have red color backs

About next update

DLC is almost finished. We will add all PvP units and their buildings in the next update. The building where you can buy more SPs also comes with next update. Finally, we will add remaining mithril abilities/upgrades for last units (Polymorph, Mines and etc.). After that we will just need to add sounds, translate texts to other languages and fix reamaining bugs Play with us,

[ 2020-08-20 13:14:53 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello there, There were some unpredictable events 3 weeks ago. Our team was forced to change location of the office. So we did not do much for the game. Today is the first day we work full time. New update should come soon. We have some good news. Besides 2 story missions we will add 3 co-op missions to the game. Our artist designed some really cool concepts for co-op missions. You can see some of them on the picture above. Finally, we decided to add new special building where you can buy extra skill points. Also there will be SP limit. So all players who reached the end of the game will have equal capabilities. P.s. 7th story mission of DLC is a maze level. Stay with us.

[ 2020-07-06 17:59:18 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello there, it is a techical update with no new content. We have got several reports about crashes last days. We are trying to do our best. First of all, we uploaded x64 version of the game instead of x86. We expect it should fix crashes with "Too many heap sections". If you had them before, tell us in future did it help or now. Be aware, that you need x64 OS to launch the game. We hope nobody uses it in 2020 :) Secondly, we made special server for seeking co-op bugs. Our testers constantly play the game in search of trigger of "Connection to server lost" in co-op games. We hope to find them in next 1-3 days. Also, we fixed some minor bugs with Hidden Texts, economist skills and etc. They are not so important now. UPDATE Finally, we found the reasonof crashes with red lineConnection to server lost and fixed them. 1) First could occur when a player upgraded Monk tower to Mystic tower after Summong Fury buff faded off. 2) Another bug occured when ghost wolfs were damaged by area damage of Bombardiers. 3) We found a glitch which could occur crashes during co-op missions. For now, co-op battles should be extremely more stable Stay with us.

[ 2020-06-11 18:55:23 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello there, We wanted to release update with every new map ready. Eventually, we were forced to prepare all remain missions and mobs at once. It is the reason why the update took so much time. For now, all enemies with all abilities are ready and we release today 2 new missions. We will do our best to bring next update and the end of story as soon as possible. It will take less time for sure than we spent on this update. Also, I can say that last 2 missions will have some special features.

What's new.

[olist]

Awakening mission is a Hero mission. You will control Nechai like you did it in original campaign. But this time hero will have another 5 abilities. They are really fun to use. Also, there will be completely other enemies and some surprises at later waves. So we hope you will like this mission.

Death trap is usual mission with 1 long road. There is a lot of great spots for towers. Also, you will meet 2 new towers here. They will have their mithril abilities.

Challenge modes for The Frontier, We Came in Peace, New Allies, Worse than Death

We increased size of comic in Chapter 2. We think they are much better in this way.

Achievement requirement in co-op missions are shown for both players now if one of them doesn't have it. A lot of player asked about this feature.

4 new towers. 1) Mystic is an upgrade of Monk; 2) Scorch Elemental is an upgrade of Warrior Elemental; 3) Demigoddess is an upgrade of Priestess; 4) Destroyer is an upgrade of Cannoneer

Hello there, We have worked hard for last 3 months to release this add-on. We didn't make all we wanted but we couldn't postpone release anymore. So we released Astral Voyage add-on in kind of Early Access state. Please keep it in mind purchasing the game. We will finish add-on main story in 4-6 weeks and we will keep improving it. Buy the DLC now if you want to support us, developers of Warstone. Originally we planned to make Tower Power Pack. We wanted to add just new towers. That's all. Yeah, it is only 15% from what we are going to add. We decided to do it because we wanted to complete the main story about Nechai. Also a lot of players asked to make another chapter. It helped us to make a decision to make the add-on completed. It is the reason why it took so much time. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully, you will enjoy it a lot how you did playing original Warstone. We want to say thanks to all players who helped us to make this add-on alive by playing, testing, sharing thoughts, advising and writing reviews. It couldn't be done without you!

What is available now?

• 4 missions in astral setting. They look more diverse than missions from original campaign.
• 19 new enemies with absolutely new abilities and parameters. Prepare to look for new strategies to pass levels.
• Continuation of Nechai story. It means there are a lot of quests with rewards. Also we added 14 comics for the first part of the story. Our artist`s skills have been improved for last 2 years, so comics should look awesome.
• New towers. You will get access to Monk (Level 3 melee tower) with ability to make combo strikes and deal an extra damage which depends on max enemy health. Predator (Level 3 archer tower) has an ability to attack all targets simultaneously in the area. Also, it reduces their magic resistance. Sorcerer is Level 3 Magic Tower. She applies amplification ability with each attack. It increases incoming damage. Finally, new Level 3 Siege tower Cannoneer has a huge level of damage and Blast wave ability which stuns all nearby enemies for a short period of time . More towers will appear in the next update.
• Magic Academy Level 3. Improve power of your favorite spells
• Owl of Wisdom is a new building which increases max level from 60 to 99 and also rewards with some skill points. A lot of players asked for it.
• Ancient runes II increases experience gathering for extra 50%
• Tavern is a new building which increases damage of ALL towers by 5% for each level of building. Only level 1 is available now

What is unavailable but it comes in future updates.

[ 2020-04-30 21:43:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

What's new

Hello there, The update is the last one before the release of the DLC. The preparation has been already done. So DLC comes in 7-10 days. All players who meet requirements should get new quests and buildings. Buildings will be available for construction when DLC releases.

• Players who passed The Dark Forest missions should get new dialogue with the old mage which leads to "Key to Astral" quest and give "Ore Samples" building.
• Players who have Magic Runes II on Tree of Life should get "Ancient Runes II" building and "Spell of greater experience" quest .
• Players who have Book of Arcane Knowledge building should get "Call of the spirit" quest and "Spirit of Wisdom" building.
• We added new colorful banner for people who doesn't have DLC and click on the Chapter 2 button.

There will be only English and Russian texts for all new DLC stuff for first few weeks.

About upcoming DLC

Finally, we can tell a few words about DLC. It will be called Astral Voyage. Originally we planned just add new towers and some cool features, but we decided to finish Nechai story. It is the reason why it takes so long. Astral Voyage is kinda Chapter 2. There will be a story with comics, quests, dialogues. There will be 33 new enemies. It is more than original game has. 8 new maps in new setting. So, it should be fun. We hope at least. It will cost only 7.99$. We decided to release DLC in unfinished state, because we have already failed all deadlines. At start there will be available only 4 of 8 missions, no challenge and survival modes. DLC will be available with English and Russian languages only. We plan to add another 4 missions in 1 month, complete challenge and survival mods in 2 months, add other 8 languages in 2-3 months. So, DLC is unfinished, you are aware, please buy it only in case if you are OK with it and want to support us. We fulfill our promises. The game will be finished.

Balance changes

We were forced to change characteristics of certain towers because 10 new towers will be added in DLC. They affect gameplay significantly. We made melee units stronger, especially Level 4 melee units. Also we made the, more expensive to compare with Elemental towers Level 3 & 4. Price and damage of Valkyrie and Ninja were also raised a little. Price of Bombardiers was reduced significantly, we hope it makes this unit more popular. Finally, we were forced to make Elemental towers cheaper and weaker, because Elemental towers 3 would be disproportionately expensive. For example, Old Inquisitor cost 180 in total when Warrior Elemental cost 300. If we don't change anything, Elemental Level 4 would cost 5 strongest melee units. It is not great.

• Damage of Knight was increased by 2-7
• Damage of Witcher was increased by 1-2
• Damage of Shieldmaiden was increased by 0-3
• Base/final price of Knight Templar was increased from 100/90 to 165/155. Base/final attack damage was increased from 38-52 / 57-71 to 66-82 / 85-101
• Base/final price of Inquisitor was increased from 85/75 to 145/135. Base/final attack damage was increased from 23-27 / 32-35 to 42-47 / 51-55
• Base/final price of Valkyrie was increased from 135/125 to 160/150. Base/final attack damage was increased from 25-37 / 35-47 to 32-47 / 42-57
• Base/final price of Ninja was increased from 105/95 to 135/125. Base/final attack damage was increased from 17-21 / 20-23 to 20-23 / 23-25
• Price of Bombardiers was decreased by 15 from 75/65 to 60/50
• Price of Spirit Elemental was decreased from 125 to 75. Base/final attack damage was deacreased from 35-55 / 45-65 to 20-30 / 30-40. Attack range was decreased by 50.
• Base/final price of Warrior Elemental Spirit was decreased from 190/175 to 115/100. Base/final attack damage was deacreased from 65-115 / 75-125 to 45-65 / 55-75. Attack range was decreased by 50.

Bug fixes

• We updated Mac build
• Fixed the bug with star counter
• Totem of mithril and stone of teleportation are now work properly. They give resources

[ 2020-04-12 21:08:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey all, It was a long time since we posted something. This update is a tech update. It offers nothing new, but fixes a lot of things. Also it is the first uploading of the game for almost a year, so we need to be sure it works fine before we give access to DLC. We temporarily added development console, so we can find all new and old bugs asap. Thanks for playing and helping us.

General changes and bug fixes

• Resource amount from gathering buildings was increased. Gathering time was increased as well. For example it took 6 hours of battle time for mithril and 2 hours for gold, now it requires 2,5 hours for getting mithril and just 40 minutes to get gold. It should help. Also, we want to notice that gathering depends on battle time (time spent playing battles), not real time.
• Mana cost of all magic upgrades was reduced. Mana cost of Earth and Water schools was reduced by half.
• The building in the city now play a sound if you click on it to read comics. It adds greater involvment in the story.
• Main menu of the game was dramatically visually improved.
• We added a special icon for PvP upgrades, so players wouldn't worry about getting them and thinking they are forced to play co-op missions.
• A lot of UI improvements.
• Fixed a bug when dialogue windows blinked while reading them.
• Fixed visual bugs of moon well. It was shown filled when it was empty sometimes.
