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. Come say hello on the forums or social media:

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:

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

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:

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. We will continue updating the game through Early Access and beyond so keep the ideas coming and let us know how you fare against Earl Sharp!
