We skipped an update for Build 44 but are going to cover that build plus 45 in this extra special “last” blog post before the final stretch run to release the game onto Steam, GOG and itch.io! We will have an announcement regarding the launch date later this week.
Before we get to the new stuff, take a second to check out our launch trailer!

The biggest new feature we have added is "Follow Mode" that lets you choose a leader and then puts the other troops under AI control! They will stay close to you (offensive) or stay in cover (defensive) while stopping to pick up loot and auto reloading after battle!
Other New features:
Enemy Dispersal
Refinements to enemy spawning
Sub Unlock Objectives
and much more!
