Hello, Tower Lords! A new patch is ready with more Qol and Polish. The next major patch will be out in a 2 or 3 days. We'll be polishing game balance and combat. Bug Fixes The annoying bug that forced you to hover and un-hover over light to upgrade tower when starting the game should be gone. The dragon breath issues fixed.

You use it to destroy the shield, but you are unable to use it for normal damage.Status Combo UI should properly reset on enemies.

- Patch #4 - Polishing and bug fixes - 9 November 2025
Hello, Tower Lords!A new patch is live.Research Perks The research runes that hang from the Research Academy are interactive and if you hover over them, they show what perk you unlocked. We added a camera zoom tutorial for this in the patch. But we are looking for feedback whether you think this is enough or should we have text tutorial?Save Issues Because the buildings were changed, now you'll be able to summon over 20 Orcs, Dwarves, Elves. It is recommended to stick to 20 for each armies. Some of the new balance will not be applied to older save games, because you would already have bought the upgrades. Its possible to overpower dragon if you already bought some updates for the dragon and now you get additional levels to upgrade. There were 8 levels, and now there are 16 levels at half the upgrade power per level. Game Changes We moved all army production into one buildingYou can now…
- Patch #3 is Live - 8 November 2025
Hello Tower Lords! Patch #3 is live. This should take care of almost all game breaking or large issues that were discovered until now. So far the only reported important issues we have left on bug list are:Adding border to windowed mode so you can move the game window around.Few players reported High ram usage. This is likely due to memory leak and we are trying to find what could cause this.Some players experience issues with un-used gamepad reporting axis drift and interfering with mouse position. We are investigating this and should be solved in patch #4 or #5. Meanwhile, if you unplug extra controllers and disconnect from Bluetooth this should be a temporary fix. Parts of localization texts are missing, because we just added them to fit new purposes and it will take a few days to arrange translations. If you have a broken save we made a topic with console commands that should hopefu…
- Patch #2 quick fix - 7 November 2025
Hello Everyone, This is a quick fix for issues introduced in Patch #2. Specifically Luminarch the Tower Laser should now work if you load your old save.
