[h1]Dear Lords and Ladies![/h1]
Just in time for the Steam Autumn Sale, we're not only [b]discounting the game by [i]35%[/i],[/b] we're also delivering [b]a load of exciting updates[/b] straight to your castle gates!
This patch brings a mix of fixes, changes, and improvements, along with some exciting new additions. Here’s a look at some of the major updates. For more details, check out the [b]full patch notes below[/b] 📜
[h3]Dress to Make Thy Mark[/h3]
Also new is this grim armour set inspired by the events of Tankred's Journey: [b]a cultist's robe, forged for battle and ready to be worn with pride![/b]

[h3]Where Have You Gone, Hunter?[/h3]
Our [b]Special Figures[/b] have received a bit more attention in this update as well. We've recognised that their presence could be more strategic: No longer tied to events, [b]they can now be hired[/b] from their respective buildings, making it easier and more rewarding to outwit and deceive your foes!

[h3]And where do I belong?[/h3]
Our [b]Heritage[/b] system has undergone a major update. We've [b]removed their cost,[/b] and you can now find your selected heritage proudly displayed on a shield next to your scenario character.
Choose your faction wisely, as it will still play a key role in shaping your strategy. And keep an eye on the enemy's shield - it will tell you a lot about their strengths!

[h3]But that's not all...[/h3]
Of course, there are many more changes in this update, and [b]work continues on a certain desert themed add-on.[/b] We're getting ready to share more news and give you a sneak peek at the story early next year.
Until then, [b]enjoy this patch[/b] and, as always, let us know what you think in the comments or on our [url=https://discord.com/invite/ZWMU87rtfY]Community Discord[/url]!
