Update #6: Challenge Battles


Rise 'n shine armchair generals, we've got a challenge for you! Well, three to be exact and they are nothing if not exacting! First up is the obnoxiously obdurate Marquis Legion whose swordsmen will take some beating. Second is the cripplingly cunning Duke Round, who knows a bit about tactics and isn't afraid to use it. Finally, there is the devilishly dapper Prince Doppel, whose mighty tide of enemies will crash down upon you, wave after wave. You'll find these three musketeers awaiting you in the 'Play vs AI' menu. Can you defeat them? We hope you enjoy trying. Happy battling! If you're looking for a game or want to let us know how you found these new opponents, we'd love to hear from you.

Update 4: iPad and Cross-Play


What news from the front? The best news! Rise: Battle Lines has arrived on an iPad near you! PC gamers everywhere have cast aspersions on the tactical nous and military know-how of our Apple brethren, now we can find out once and for all, who is truly the master race! Not only can you battle those pesky casuals but you can moonlight as one too! Yes that’s right, the same Rise: Battle Lines account will work across both platforms. We’ve added a Merge Accounts button to the settings menu, send a merge request from your iPad to your Steam username and accept this on Steam and your accounts will be merged! So what’s new on Steam? The main thing is more players to test your wits against! Beyond that, there are lots of bug fixes and improvements to performance, see the changelist below for details. For now, our priority is building a community of players and to that end, we have promotions coming soon! Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to find out more: https://twitter.com/SecretGamesCo https://www.facebook.com/SecretGamesCompany/
Changelist - Cross-platform battles against iPad players - Account merging between Steam and iOS - Friending and challenging Game Centre players - Heraldry art polish - Improved battlefield hex overlays - Fixed disappearing river on lowest graphics settings - Minor bug fixes

Update 3: FULL LAUNCH TOMO!


Sound the trumpets! Open the mead hall! We are ready to welcome all comers! It’s been a busy couple weeks but we have finished our Early Access task list and added a host of other improvements. We will continue supporting the game after launch and adding new content but now we want to declare the game officially ready and get as many players in as possible! This update brings 24 achievements to be earned by climbing the ranks and dominating the battlefield. Our soldier models have all been updated with helmets and different uniforms. We’ve added a new pattern for your heraldry and tweaked the colours for even prettier coats of arms. Our UI, on the battlefield and in the menus, has been polished and we have taken on board some suggestions about how to better control unit ordering. Time to take on that pugnacious friend of yours!
Changelist - 24 Steam achievements added - UI panels and popups polished - Unit models updated - AI battles and the tutorial no longer use the turn timer - Heraldry colours and patterns updated - Button to find yourself on the leaderboard added - Planning phase battlefield UI updated - Button artwork and animation updated - Unity game engine updated for better Win10 support - Ctrl-click now works for right-click on Mac - Forfeit penalty applied during draft - Controls for ordering units tweaked - Unit tooltips now show attack order - A number of minor UI bugs fixed

Update 2: Notifications and New Art


Our second update brings Steam notifications! We heard how people loved battling friends and wanted to make it easier to play asynchronously. If you opt in, when a friend challenges you or submits their orders, you get a notification in Steam (in messages menu). One click takes you straight into the battle so if you're quick they will see you enter (your flag turns yellow) and stick around to finish the battle then and there! We have added Linux support and made a number of improvements to the environment, polishing textures and adding new dynamic and particle elements. We've also updated the player name boards so as you earn higher titles they start to look grander and grander. We won't spoil the surprise completely but here's a taster - check out our full changelist below:
Changelist - Steam notifications added for when you receive a challenge or your friend takes their turn - Linux support added - Improved name banner art for all ranks - Three new ranks added above King - Female versions of each title added - Improved terrain, trees, rocks and foliage - Dynamic elements added in environment - Improved order arrows for the selected unit - Player list presentation updated - Unit stats info updated in help section - Forfeited battles now counted in stats - Tilt shift bug fixed (now disabled on Lowest gfx) - Music turning on by itself bug fixed - Slider bugs fixed

We're excited to announce our first update 2 days ahead of schedule! It's focused on expanding the singleplayer experience through the addition of AI characters of different difficulty levels. You can now earn Glory against them and against your Steam friends when you challenge them to a battle. We've loved hearing your feedback and we prioritized this update so we could deliver the most popular requests as soon as possible.

Changelist - AI system re-written - 3 AI characters added - Bot system updated to use new AI - Turn off bots option added - Singleplayer battles earn Glory (except in Offline Mode) - Friend battles earn Glory - Leaderboards changed to allow viewing of entire list - New error message for when Steam servers are down - Further testing for Windows 10 errors - Help section text updated
