Pupultas!

Long time no see! We haven’t been idle all this time – we’ve been working on the Map Editor, and now we are finally ready to let you try it out!

To celebrate the launch, Diplomacy is Not an Option received a discount of 55% till May 26th!

The long-awaited update adds the Map Editor with tools to customize:

• landscape – generate it randomly or handcraft every nook and cranny, dig lakes or erect mountains;
  
• resources – be stingy and make players count every single bit, or make them rich;
  
• waves – plan attacks and create an impossible challenge… or a snoozefest;
  
• objectives – decide if players should defend a building or a unit, or if you want to make them attack!
  

And of course you can share your creations with the community! Steam Workshop is enabled for you to show off your maps and let other players judge them.

Our work on the Map Editor isn’t finished and we’ll continue improving it in the future.

Additionally, there are some other game improvements in this update – for example, we’ve added the option for units to move with the same speed! The full list of changes is, as always, under the cut.
