Hey Everyone

Today we’re releasing a major update for Renaissance Kingdom Wars focused on deep engine-level improvements and fixing the most disruptive issues reported by our players. This patch is the result of weeks of focused work — tackling major performance problems, rare crashes, AI bugs, and first-run issues that affected many new players.

In addition to major stability and performance upgrades, we’ve expanded resolution support, overhauled AI behavior on both the world map and in RTS combat, and added numerous quality-of-life improvements across the UI. This is one of our biggest updates yet, laying a stronger foundation for future content and smoother gameplay.
