- Patch 5.3.5 - 13 March 2022
Note: This new patch makes it so farms and towers are now only buildable on top of minor building sites. However, for those who prefer playing without building sites, a mod has been added to the Steam Workshop which removes the building site requirements and makes them not appear on maps - the No Building Sites mod. Additionally, many of the classic skirmish maps now have map-specific settings which likewise disable building sites. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - 5.3.5 Changelog ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Buildings - Farms and towers can now only be built on top of "Minor Building Site" locations. - Added Troll Farm building. If it is owned by the neutral player, it will spawn Troll Warriors. - Elven Farms will now spawn Elven Swordsmen if they are owned by the neutral player. - Fixed the Goblin Mas…
- Minor Building Sites - 12 February 2022
The plan for the next patch is to make farms and towers require a Minor Building Site to be constructed upon: The reasoning for this move is threefold. First, it makes effective territorial control more strategically important. Second, it makes farms and food supply more valuable. And finally, it introduces the necessity to make a strategic choice between increasing food supply to recruit more units and building towers to defend your lands. The existing maps will be adjusted to contain a good number of minor building sites. Since this change will result in a substantial change to gameplay, the current version of the game will keep being accessible as its own "branch" on Steam even after the next patch is released.

Patch 5.0.0 is finally here! This new major version of the game thoroughly reworks the game's menus, input system and rendering to make use of the Qt Framework, allowing for a technical modernization of many aspects. This move also made it possible for the game to now run under borderless fullscreen. A few new upgrades have also been added, namely Oil Lamp (+ sight for buildings), Furor Teutonicus (+ damage for infantry, specific to the Teutonic civilization) and House-Burning (+ damage vs. buildings for infantry), specific to the Norse civilization). Since this new update contains major changes, with many menus having been reworked, the previous version (4.1.4) remains available as a branch, in case anyone wishes to roll back.
