- Patch 18 Notes - 4 October 2018
Hi folks - a patch is now out with the following changes: - Adjust some gold rewards to provide less for a loss - fixed an issue where faction tokens had inappropriately granted limited edition items. Sorry folks;) But you were getting some debug items in there in addition to challenge items. If you built a deck with one of these items then that deck will no longer appear in your available decks - fixed an AI lockup potentially being caused by structures - fixed an AI lockup related to completely surrounding a nexus - fixed an issue where units with Plague Spawn were getting plagued - fixed a path-finding bug that would allow players and AI to plot a path that would drop them through a bridge tile - Fixed an issue where achieving two ranks of a challenge in the same instant could cause you to not receive the rewards for one of the ranks - Added a new "Oasis" map to the Skirmish mode - A…
- Free to Play Beta Released / Patch Notes - 3 May 2018
Longsword is now free to play. We also are giving every Founder's Pack owner a "faction" token. You have to log into the game to get it. Give this token to a free-play friend and they can get a full set of that faction's cards. As for free play, you can get playing and building your collection right now. We won't wipe your free to play progress at release unless you cheat or we find out that we're idiots and have some horrible exploit in place. Probably not even then. The business model is that you can grind out cards and gold for free by playing games and completing in game challenges. You can, at any time, just buy the full play set of cards. That would be nice. We aren't out of Early Access yet. There are still features and content left to complete. But I want to get this F2P stuff into your hands so that you can have some more competition and get a bigger playerbase. Enjoy! edit --…

- EA Patch 16 - 19 January 2018
I've uploaded a new patch today with a bunch of new content and features. Probably the stuff that you'll care about most is: 1. You can play Hot-Seat MP on one computer. Let me know what you think about how that all works. 2. You can earn gold for beating the AI. It's not a lot right now. 3. You can spend the gold on some vanity items or on card packs. Obviously everyone here has all the cards already because you bought the game, but in the future the F2P players will be buying packs with those cards. Anyway, the next patch will focus on enabling ranked play and then we'll probably open the game to the public at large for free. I still need to add a bunch of units and also finish the "painting" prep for the units, which is a ton of work. But it's coming! Patch 16 full notes: - Added Hotseat Coop Mode - Added Unique Control tiles to each faction; these tiles are not available in the edit…

- Patch 15 Available - 4 October 2017
Hi folks, I've updated the game to version 15. This isn't quite as flashy a patch as previous ones, but I solved a few tricky back-end problems that interfered with certain skills working properly in multiplayer. Patch 15 Work in Progress - Fixed some issues relating to re-pooling tiles after loading maps, like their base colors not being reset perfectly, or Runestones thinking they are still owned - The AI will now only attempt to move to tiles with a headroom clearance of 5 tiles or greater. There were some instances where they would teleport or prepare ambushes on tiles without enough headroom - Fixed up the AI to not get confused when it kills a player character. I've seen it do some odd things like accidentally polymorph a friendly unit, things like that. It should behave less drunkenly now. - Fixed an issue with deploying a Clamp Trap to a water space - Fixed an issue where attack…

- Patch 14 Now Available - 8 September 2017
Patch 14 This week's patch focused on some behind-the-scenes improvements and bug-fixing. We also added some new cards to bolster existing themes and provide some new options. This brings our card count up to 238 cards. Progress was a bit slower this week because I got horrible food poisoning / Norovirus / something nasty like that. Next week will be better! We're well on our way to getting an official launch set together. We've still got a long road ahead of us, but we're getting there one day at a time! Notes: - Updates to tile and decor pooling for faster loading. We'll trade a little bit extra up-front loading from disk for much faster loads once the game is up and running - Fixed bug with reclaimer obelisk not working properly when attacked by an enemy - Fixed issue where units could become stuck on damaging fire tiles - Fixed pack hunter to work properly - Fixed an issue with the…

- New Content / Faction Patch! - 23 August 2017
Hi folks, we've got a new patch for you with a bunch of new cards and bug fixes! This patch introduces some units from the "Helguard" faction. We still only have a few Champions so you can't make a full deck yet, but you can put them into your Skirmish decks for other factions and have fun with them. Our push continues to be on content right now. This brings us to 213 cards spread out over six factions + neutral cards. I'll be expanding that number every week as we move towards content completion on the Fantasy set. If you want to suggest some cards to add, by the way, I'm in need of some community inspiration for spell and equipment ideas. Please let me know what you want to see! EA Patch 12 Fixes: - Fixed some bugs that would prevent your Campaigns from working properly if the first map was an overworld map - Fixed a bug that could occur if multiple "intensify" effects were present on…

- Map-Maker Hot Fix - 14 August 2017
Hi Folks. I did a lot of behind-the-scenes optimization in patch 11, and one of the unforseen side effects was to cause a bug that could prevent you from saving maps that you make in the editor! I'm sorry if that has caused any trouble! There's a hotfix to 11 going up right now that will resolve this issue!
