• Hotfix Build 5.4 - 28 June 2026

  New Improvements and fixes for Kingdoms Gamemode! NOTE: With these latest changes, old saves will no longer work properly and have been cleared. Sorry! The changes were too large to maintain the old scaling and have the game convert everything cleanly. I do not anticipate this to happen again. - Major performance enhancements to support hundreds of towers in the new Kingdom Defense gamemode. - Scaled tower size up in new Kingdom Defense mode for multiple reasons. 1) Performance and balance, there were just too many towers. 2) Visuals. It just looks better. - Tower Preview and Pathfinding Previews have been updated. - Queued tower build & deletion enhancements. - Tower range preview fixes with new landscapes. - Z-indexing fixes for different graphics. - Worker/Miner/Hauler behavior fixes for interacting with towers and pathfinding.

• Kingdom Defense Major Update Now Available - 22 June 2026

  Good Evening Everyone!Thank you for your patience between updates. This release became much larger than originally planned, largely because I decided to build an entirely new game mode for Dark Fantasy Tower Defense: Kingdom Defense.Kingdom Defense is a new mode that blends RTS-style kingdom management with the grid-based tower defense building system at the heart of Dark Fantasy Tower Defense.
