Hail Warriors!

Thank you for playing Iron Tides and leaving us with a review. We learn a lot from what you have to say, and this week we are celebrating BaronVonPlay's epic victory. He uploaded a video of Iron Tides where he absolutely decimates all who stand in his way. This week, we're adding features to help polish our overall game experience, and to help new players jump in and get started. We want to also thank warriors on the discussions board who have leaped into the fray to ask questions and post suggestions. This week's changes are:

• A NEW TUTORIAL: We noticed players were having a hard time with the original tutorial and needed help during their play session. We hope this new tutorial helps you ease into the experience and get to stabbing enemies in the face faster.
• Poison and Bleed particle effects are now active at the beginning of your turn. This makes it a bit easier to know who on the field is the most vulnerable.
• We re-balanced a few abilities on the Vanguard (Avenging Blow), and the Wolf Priestess (Remedy).
• We also re-balanced the Trading Route quest making it is easier to complete.
• We fixed a bug with the Vanguard. Big thanks to the discussions board for finding it.

FAQ

We are thrilled to read reviews and posts from players who want to better their gaming experience. Having said that, its come to our attention that we have yet to explain the finer features of our game. Can I Move My Ship With the Keyboard? Absolutely, use WASD to sail about the seas. Is There a Hot-Key to End My Turn? Great question, hit the SPACEBAR to end your turn immediately. **BE CAREFUL not to end your turn accidentally!** Are There Hot-Keys to Select an Ability? They are the numbers 1-2-3-4 above QWERTY on your keyboard. Will There Be An UNDO Button? We're giving this some thought as it is a sensitive feature to add in a strategy game with rogue-like elements. However, as mistakes do happen, we don't think anyone should be punished for making one. We are looking for a solution to help alleviate the stress of making the wrong move, and tentatively agree to include a limited UNDO move for testing in a later build. If you have a good solution that doesn't take away from the difficulty of the game, drop us a line on the discussions board or send us an email to support@irontides.com

Linux Testers!

We have received emails from testers on Linux and Mac, and will be responding to these shortly. If you'd like to stay in the loop, get into the discussions board and send us a message! Stay ruthless! Enjoy v1.62.
