[h2]Northernfolk![/h2] For the past few months Paranoid Interactive has been working on improving everyone's experience with [b]Frozenheim[/b] after our full release in June. We know what you got back then was not entirely what you've expected. We're aware that what we've had planned for the game was not in line with what a vast majority of Steam users expected. Our focus on some parts of the game left other parts feel lacking for many of you. Following your feedback the team has prepared a complete AI overhaul that has been playtested by hundreds of volunteers over the course of the past few weeks. Based on their feedback, the 1.1 playtest version of the game was further polished and de-bugged, so today we are happy to present you with Frozenheim 1.2.
