(Ad. 1) Winter attire for woodcutters
Oh, the woodcutters have decided to get into the winter mood, because an axe and snow are now a fashionable combo. Now, all lumberjacks automatically receive their winter versions, because surely no one wants to fall ill from a lack of style. Each one of them looks like a winter warrior, ready for snow battles.
(Ad. 2) New monster variants
Until now, monsters in RPG mode showcased a wide variety... of boredom.
Minotaurs, giants, bearweres - those were the true masterpieces of creativity!
But now, get ready for a major breakthrough! Everyone has received new
variants, skins, and characters. Even the names have been changed - after all,
"Giant" sounded too original. Welcome to the world of monsters with new
paint and identically predictable stats!
The creators of the skins are: Grabek, Atlas
(Ad. 3) Refreshed RTS modes
The current game modes have been given a facelift. Here are the descriptions of these RTS modes.
Swords and Sandals
Magical whimsy? Gone! Now we have only warriors, sand under our feet, and a pinch of iron under our ribs. Here, each strike of the sword is like a fireworks explosion, and steel driven into the bodies of opponents is our magic spell. No magic, no unnecessary magic, and on top of that, without magic – here, pure strength, steel blades, and the adrenaline of battle gameplay count.
Changes:
* No buildings and magical units
* Ability to place two courts
Fast Game
Unburden yourself from the excess and get to the point - fewer units, fewer buildings, but more action!
Changes:
* The number of ordinary buildings has been limited. (Huts - 3, barracks - 2)
* The number of special buildings (magical and courts) limited to one.
* Limited number of all units
* Maximum upgrade level: 2
*Individual upgrade levels for spells and magical items
-- Best played in a 1 vs 1 formula
Eight Sheds
In 'Eight Sheed' mode, it's like you have 8 cards in your deck instead of 4! The game picks up pace, and the map turns into a real massacre. Place barns as if you had them at your fingertips, and the dynamics of the battle reach new dimensions.
Changes:
* Sheed limit increased to 8
Adventure
Ah, the 'Adventure' mode, because after all, a plot on paper is obsolete! Now everything is written on information stones. Because who needs simple dialogues, when you can break a sweat reading text from boulders? Special maps, special stones, special headaches for players.
In addition, the game will include a new possibility of forming alliances with bots, developed by Kornel Witkowski.
(Ad. 4) New RTS modes
Ah, yes, because everyone was waiting for this - new RTS sub-modes! Actually, there's nothing more exciting than new options that nobody asked for. Who needed peace and stability? Now, everyone can get lost in a sea of novelties because who doesn't love changes, especially the unexpected ones?
King of the Hill
In 'King of the Hill' mode, you can capture towers as if they were exclusive tickets to climb a mountain. The first to take over all wins! Of course, variety is an overrated invention, so to make it easier for you, we have one, absolutely unique map (with the KOH note)! Well, almost unique... (There might be more in the future)
Changes:
* Capture all towers in the middle of the map
Economic Victory
Welcome to 'Economic Victory' mode - because it's known that true success is measured in liters of milk! Forget conquering territories or defeating enemies, now it's about how much milk you can gather. This game isn't for everyone - only for those ready for real cow competition! Race, accumulate milk like never before and show that your economic instinct is ready to flood the world with milk and claim the crown of the Milk King!
Changes:
* Removed sheeds limit
* Removed court limit
* Goal: Reach a designated milk limit
The author and creator of the above modes and maps is: Kornel Witkowski
Zero Upgrades
You can enjoy the full extent of battle, but let's not exaggerate - why waste time upgrading weapons or spells when you can simply throw yourself at the opponent and hope that luck will favor you?
Changes:
* Upgrades disabled
(Ad. 5) New maps
