A massive shoutout to our fantastic community members whose feedback keeps shaping this game into something spectacular!
Please Note: As part of updating to this latest build, any saved games and observable matches made on previous builds will be unable to be loaded or replayed.
Such hotfixes are beautiful because they are necessary and reflect a developer’s commitment to their community.

However, each patch shows that every detail counts when crafting a historical empire simulator, where every jab from a javelineer can mean victory or defeat.
Now, let’s chat about the implications. For hardcore players who enjoy squeezing every ounce of strategy out of their factions (I see you out there), having units behave as intended is crucial for competitive play. But have you been trying your hand at casual matchmaking during this festive downtime? Well then! You might enjoy smoother gameplay without those nagging bugs biting at your heels.
