- IRON RESOLUTION v1.60: THE IRONLANDS EXPAND - 22 June 2026
Iron Resolution, the gritty turn-based tactical RPG set in the war-torn Ironlands, has released its most significant update yet. Version 1.60 introduces four new unit classes, a fully revamped battlefield UI, expanded Rogue mode progression, and quality-of-life improvements that veteran commanders and new recruits alike will love.WHAT'S NEW IN v1.60🛡️ FOUR NEW UNITS JOIN THE ROSTERThe Ironlands welcome a fresh wave of warriors, each bringing unique tactical options to the battlefield.PALADIN – Holy Warrior"The light guides my hand. Once per battle, they also mend."A formidable front-line fighter with a single, powerful heal per battle. The Paladin combines respectable damage with a powerful burst of healing that can turn the tide when used wisely.

- Huge Update - Coming Soon - 19 June 2026
Four New All-Powerful UnitsWe're just finishing up the final interviews to make sure they're suitable. 🛡️ PALADIN"Faith is my shield. Justice is my blade."A holy warrior who stands firm against the darkness. Fights with righteous fury, protects, and heals the innocent.🐺WOLF"Savage precision meets unmatched speed."A ferocious companion that tears through enemy lines with relentless fury. Speed and savagery, think Gremlins, but far, far worse!🏹 TREBUCHET"Distance is not safety. It's an opportunity."A siege weapon that rains destruction from afar. Devastating against clustered enemies, but requires careful positioning.🪨 GEOMANCER"The earth remembers. I merely remind it."A master of terrain manipulation who can reshape the battlefield itself.

- V1.30 The Rogues Bag - 12 May 2026
The Ironlands rarely offer you a hand. But sometimes, between the bodies, something catches the torchlight.A potion. A rune. A dagger still sharp from its last throw. Seventeen items now litter the rogue depths — each one a decision. Carry it. Use it. Or leave it behind because your bag is already full and something better might be waiting two depths ahead.The Rogue's Bag changes everything.The Rogue's Bag introduces items that litter the battlefield in Rogue mode, appearing every three depths. Your bag only holds five items, so decide wisely. Seventeen items across four rarity tiers. Teleport, heal potions and bandages for survival. Shield potions, strength tonics, and focus draughts to swing a fight. Throwing daggers, fire bolts, and lightning rods to strike from a distance. Rarer items appear the deeper you go!

The Ironlands don't forgive, but they do remember. v1.25 sharpens the blade across every mode. Enemies hunt with purpose, the fallen leave their mark, and the Rogue leaderboard now tracks your climb through the darkness. Light a torch. Check your rank. The depths are waiting...AI ImprovementsBoss, Knight, and Archer AI have learned how to think. They now scan the full battlefield for the best route around rivers, mountains, and water. No more standing slack‑jawed behind a rock while your archer fills them with arrows. Gremlins and Berserkers, of course, remain as stubborn as ever... They'll still charge headfirst into dead ends and dare the terrain to stop them.Enemies now remember who they're hunting. If a Knight locks eyes with your Mage, they'll pursue them across multiple turns, unless a better, closer target presents itself. Call it focus. Call it obsession. Either way, they're har…
