Hey Everyone,
After a long break we are back with more MKW updates. Apologies for the delay, and to make up for it we are working on the second MKW update right away - and plan to launch our 26th update towards the end of next week.
For todays update we have worked on a full rework of the tutorial campaign. One of MKWs biggest issues was introducing new players to the game - with many giving up after the first few tutorial levels. The reworked tutorial is now much faster, easier and streamlined, while using most of the same content. So far several tutorial levels have been updated and we plan to finish this work for the next update.
We also looked into resolving a few long standing issues effecting some players, however most of the focus was on the tutorial campaign. In the update next week we are bringing a lot of new features and bug fixes to MKW, as we`ll be copying some of the progress made on Kingdom Wars: Plague to MKW - with improvements for AI, performance as well as doing some balancing work.
We can`t wait to share the next update with you, and once again sorry for the delay.
And now lets take a look at what changes our 25th update brings
