It's been some time since[b] Field of Glory: Kingdoms[/b] was released, and the reception has been very positive. We're pleased that many of you are enjoying the game and providing valuable feedback and suggestions. While we process this feedback and set our priorities, [b]we're happy to announce that a new patch is coming very soon[/b], and it includes bug fixes, rebalancing, and additional content. It is named [b]Royalty Patch[/b] because we are adding[b] 45 historical rulers[/b] for various countries in the grand campaign. These rulers will no longer be randomized but will have well-defined Administration-Military- Piety characteristics (often quite good), as well as specific skills. Besides providing better historical accuracy, this also gives you the added benefit of knowing in advance which noble will be on the throne when you choose a faction, allowing you to define a better initial strategy without relying on Lady Luck. Among the new crowned heads, we will briefly describe four, each of whom has a new portrait by the game's lead artist, Ivan Cáceres. These portraits can later appear on new characters in your campaign.

[b]Most notable points of the patch[/b]: [list] [*] Easy Mode has been overhauled with added bonuses, so you can start smoothly. You can even switch to Balanced within the same game (or return to Easy mode for some turns). [*] Forming a new nation, like Sicily, will promote a Duchy to a Kingdom. [*] Clergymen can lead armies, though with a penalty. [*] Hostile claims have been reworked and fixed. [*] You won’t lose Authority when you help an ally in war. [*] If a Christian nation is under Jihad, other Christian nations will like you more. [*] When you secure a deal in peace negotiations, retroceding unclaimed regions won’t cost you Authority. [*] And much, much more—the Royalty Patch includes over 125 entries! [/list] [b]Buy it now:[/b] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1985050/Field_of_Glory_Kingdoms?snr=1_2108_9__2107
