{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/5c368811801361c4549e225b51fe6003e9112e67.jpg We've released, a new world map campaign mode to explore, strategize and vanquish upon. This mode offers a lot of replayability with over 40 new missions. In classic turn based strategy style, the race to claim territory is on right from the beginning, you’ll see your foes movements and will have to respond immediately during your preparation phase. Once complete each army in opposing territory will take part in the combat phase. You can fight battles manually using your full real time strategy skills, or gain victory based on your army strength and battle conditions using the auto-fight function. Earn coins as you claim territory and spend them on reinforcing your regions, expanding your armies and upgrading your forces. As you conquer, you'll unlock new armies to coordinate and expand with. Along the way to victory you will discover special quests, reap rewards and unlock new armies. Each territory confronts you with its own challenge and you’ll discover the advantages of certain army compositions. Each of the 4 factions capital introduces a new map and defeating it will remove that faction from the game. Win victory points through battle and claimed territory. Once you’ve claimed enough for victory on the campaign you can carry on to dominate the continent entirely. Coloring in with your faction color as you see fit. The fewer turns you complete victory in, the higher your overall campaign score.

Like what you see? Then there is more. . .

A mini (Rusviet Revolution) DLC and a larger 4th faction DLC (Operation Eagle) have already been released. If you play with someone with Operation Eagle you can benefit from the maps they have access to. Again a mech ton of thanks to our awesome community who share our vision for a great RTS game.

https://media.giphy.com/media/WESC2fIMWHo1U0Zth5/giphy.gif Greetings Harvesters, And welcome to this the 47th DevBlog, which completes the world map campaign update. We’re back from the summer, recently enjoyed Iron Harvest’s 2nd birthday and we‘re celebrating with some of your fanart. Let's jump right into the pilot seat and see what's new.

News: New World Campaign Map!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/d96234d36549bb64cd489b6a6b22bae2ace60e4c.jpg It's called Schierland - A vast continent containing many interlocking territories. A large lake in the middle separates the north from the south and east from the west. With 3 enemy factions occupying different areas of the map, gaining control over a majority of regions will be a difficult endeavor. Starting scenarios: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/224cb4bafc9c71ed36956a6723492062e4c86416.png Storm on the Horizon - A tiny nations sits isolated in the corner of the continent. Nearby regions are full of riches, but too large neighbors are interested in same unclaimed land. Expansion will be necessary to avoid being crushed. Borderlands - Despite vast holdings, your factions regions are relatively poor in resources. With only one army, defending your many borders will be a challenge. Scaling up your forces and securing more resources are essential to victory. Unwanted Neighbors - Stuck between two antagonistic super powers makes any fight a tough one. Just securing more resources will require boldness and skill. Bringing down one opponent is enough of a challenge, but two? Be quick or be crushed. Custom - Create a custom campaign. Select where each faction begins, how strong their army is and the size of their dominion

News: Up-To 70% Off Steam Sale!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/71b9aad1ad1b3013c643c41248c063a2590da3e3.jpg And to celebrate this milestone of an update we are happy to offer up-to 70% off, depending on your particular bundle of DLCs etc., on Steam.

News: Fan-made Art

We’re still proud to see the world of 1920+ and Iron Harvest still inspires your creativity. So we’d like to share some recent highlights. This incredible cinematic trailer by ZHEESHEE (a team of creative and high-skilled artist) really blew us away. They love to play video games and tell stories. Their team focuses on CGI, VFX: creating cinematics, game trailers and post production for commercials. Find out more on their Website and Instagram page {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/204349c89c09143b07e6d339e9c2093d7194dc96.jpg Dawid Wlosins created this wonderfully atmospheric scene of Polanian mechs based on real world tanks. See more of his work and a great gif here  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/4cc47e8a810824ec8d54be918870717ea9935aff.jpg We adore this fun mech concept by Martynas Latusinskas (right) inspired by our beloved Tur (left). Check out his artwork on artstation here {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/400f50f97b3f27cd981bee04c3bd84e9144b1dca.jpg TheJu87AtLondon, and his dad, painted their Smialy Backer mech figurines together. We love the three-tone forest Camo based on 1939 Polish tank camo, nice touch! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/ca0301388668d20383e9385d12a34922f699a963.jpg Luci, our Prime Matter stream queen was inspired during one of our recent meetings to doodle this FalloutGuys Lowca mech. Mechs can be cute right? Feeling mech motivated and Iron Inspired? Then do share with us your fan art on our social channels and especially our discord.

Delivery Issues

We shipped around 4,600 packages from Germany to you, all over the world. Luckily most of you have been receiving your Kickstarter packages over the summer, but we have heard from fans of some delivery issues which we want to investigate and resolve. Please contact us via DM on twitter, Facebook, Kickstarter or Discord, if you have not received your expected package.  We’ll need the following information from you:

• Real Name: 
• Email Address: 
• KAG account ID: 
• Order number: KA…
• Postal Address:

As you can imagine, this is as frustrating for us as it is for you. At this moment, we have approximately 240 packages that were returned for reasons ranging from incorrect addresses to not being picked up from the local postal office when no one was home. In today’s economy, that cost us a lot, but we hope to arrange for redeliveries later this year.

Info: Looking Ahead

Iron Harvest’s release is 2 years old now! We are amazed by how far we’ve come and all the support you mech commanders have shown us over the years. Some of you are still with us since our announcement in 2016! During these last 2 years, we released a ton of free content and are proud to be one of the biggest RTS currently out there. With this final release of the big world map addon, we can’t wait for your impressions and hope you will enjoy the missions and replayability for a long time. Iron Harvest will continue to receive ongoing support with new seasons and cool rewards, while we are currently working on new awesome projects. There is nothing we can announce right now, but we are convinced that you’ll love our new games. We really can’t wait to see your reactions, but please be patient. Remember, we started Iron Harvest in 2016. See you all on the battlefield! - Your Iron Harvest Team

https://media.giphy.com/media/TgiVf2CHmGWdpZZS6d/giphy.gif Greetings Harvesters, Another free update for you this summer. We hope you’ve all been enjoying the weather and gaming. But, if you hate the sun, here are two good reasons to play inside.

News: New World Campaign Map!

We’ve a great response since launching our world map campaign mode. Turn-based and real-time strategy is a great mix. This mode offers a lot of replayability and we are happy to increase this with another map: Archipelago. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/9386f89ff327ab203d9cd4ff18df610a4af36abb.jpg Archipelago is a small continent. Regions within it are connected along the continents exterior with multiple bodies of water separating regions on the interior. One capital is located in the west and two in the East. The continent’s center provides access to all parts of the map, making it a hard-fought for strategic target. On Archipelago you can choose your starting scenario or customize your own: Us or them – The single enemy faction in the west is slowly expanding and getting dangerously close to two areas of importance on this archipelago. While the enemy is not significantly stronger than we are, we must stay on pace I order for us to have a fighting chance. Do you have it in you to beat one key opponent? Pioneers – The major factions are in a race to colonize and conquer new lands. Native nations will fight for their independence. You have been sent to conquer as many regions as possible before the other factions take the new lands for themselves. Scattered Kingdom – The natives of the archipelago have revolted against the major factions following their annexation. As a result each factions territory is fragmented. You must put down the uprising and reunite our realm. Keep an eye out for opportunities to seize lands formerly held by our competitors as well. Custom – Play your way, select which faction begins where, their starting strength, difficulty and victory goals. We’d love to hear the story behind your scenario. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/a4f41945ca38165696b04bd74f9ea2846ee4bfdc.jpg Personally, I love island hopping in my strategy games and deciding which paths to take and which choke points to hold. Have fun, and as always, we looking forward to your feedback, We have one last world map in development which we plan to release at the end of this summer. Enjoy strategizing macro along with your micro and good luck commanders.

News: Free Weekend And Sale

Once you’ve claimed enough for victory on the campaign you can carry on to dominate the continent entirely. Coloring in with your faction color as you see fit. The fewer turns you complete victory in, the higher your overall campaign score. As you’ll see, we also have two other world maps in the works which we plan to release later this summer. Let the strategizing begin in macro and good luck commanders.

News: New Multiplayer Map

Forgotten Fortress 3 vs. 3 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/b42ae3600bdcd0f552a71fad93aa2ebdbe73604f.jpg The remains of a once glorious city rest in this valley. Time, conflicts and sandstorms have ravaged its former beauty. The twin rivers that helped make the city great are also the source of this place’s repeated conflicts. Once again, the strategic value of the land marks it as a battlefield.

Greetings Harvesters, Winter is setting in and we’ve been hunkering down. This new update is ready for PC versions of Iron Harvest. It’s a big one and important so sadly it was unavoidable that saved games will be invalidated by it. Also our Backers should really update their address, this will be your last chance to do so. We’ll be in touch soon with shipping details. Anyway, read on to see what’s new and happy gaming y’all.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/46c5ec7203c954fec214d84fa1b881d88ecdca90.jpg Hidden in the tundra of Northern-Alaska lies a convert testing and launch site for a new weapon with devastating capabilities. With the site hastily evacuated due to incursions by Usonian forces, its terrible technology now awaits those brave enough to persevere against their enemies and the freezing cold. https://media.giphy.com/media/ryRjbVsRHZihjRb2h8/giphy.gif

News: Backer Rewards Status Update

Info: Changelog 25

General changes:

• Controller/Gamepad support is now available on PC game versions!
• Extreme starting resources can now be selected when setting up Skirmish, Multiplayer and Custom games so you can dive right into the mechanized mayhem.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/e487552add95373b02ed106519c712d621f7e4fd.jpg

• Drop Zone locations on the 1 vs. 1 map “Night Raid” have been adjusted to avoid confusion and inaccessibility.
• The cutscenes during the Rusviet Revolution campaign mission “Out of Hiding” are no longer halted by placing an aid station in the path of characters.
• Updated minimap to fix missing assets on Usonian’s 5th mission, “Supply Raid”.
• Fixed collision issues on Saxonian’s 7th campaign mission “The End of All Wars”.
• Resolved issues that saw Lech Kos get stuck on map geometry near the east enemy HQ in Polania’s 4th campaign mission “Railroad Robbery”. This fix will invalidate saved game files on this mission made prior to this update.

• Prevented some Usonian abilities from being activated twice in rapid succession without cooldown.

• The ' X ' Button to close the tactical map now functions when clicked.

Balance changes:

Mech cost rebalance: Mech and exoskeleton build costs have been adjusted to lower the barrier of building tier 2 mechs. On top of the cost changes, we increased the overall strength and toughness of tier 2 mechs. In doing so, tier 2 mechs will now be more accessible than before and clearly stronger than the tier 1 mechs. All Exoskeletons: These man/machine units can now be reinforced at medic tents. Mortar systems:

• Reduced oil cost from 35 to 20.

Anti-air turret: The current anti-air turret is rather expensive and very powerful. To bring it more in line with our vision we are reducing both the cost, damage, and HP. This should make building the structure more accessible while maintaining counterplay possibilities.

• Reduced build cost from 400 to 275 iron and 60 to 25 oil.

Or 25th live patch will go live 1.9.21 (September 1st 2021) on Steam, GoG and Epic Store. The patch for the Microsoft Store Xbox Game Pass for PC will arrive with a small delay for technical reasons. Here are some of the highlights:

• You can now build Anti-Air turrets.

Changelog: See below.

News: New Map “Night Raid”

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/34c9a2f34a243caa8409adc0b721aa75d53ec61b.jpg The fighting has dragged on for weeks, with rain-steeped trenches and craters where once fields and forest were. A night strike has been ordered by high command in the hopes of catching the enemy by surprise and breaking the stalemate once and for all.

New: Kickstarter Reward Update

As more and more parts of the world go back to a somewhat normal situation, we finally can finish the last Kickstarter rewards and get them to Germany for packing and shipping. We can’t wait to show you the great artbook and the weapon’s manual – they turned out great. What we can show you already is the production of the signed art prints from this week! The creator of the World of 1920+ - Jakub Różalski himself - signed every high quality art print. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/d0564d2b0b562ccea5be39c94c1eed7f3b0eaf0c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/b7a788ba3d887f975d1824ee7695f517f601194f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/d49ce2da7663bcaa80837c82983ff2a74ae9d70f.jpg

Info: Changelog

As always, we worked on many improvements and fixes based on your feedback. Fixes

• The Level Modern Times will now always ends after surviving for 5 Minutes 
• Prince will now behave correctly while using the “Lay Waste” ability  
• Prince will now use his abilities immediately when the target is withing range 
• Units will now walk on the frozen lake on Arctic Storm  
• Fixed a bug with the target selection of Lechs’ “Relentless Fury” ability and clarified in the tooltip that this ability will hit at most 5 targets.

• … and more

Balancing Changes

  Smokescreens  There were some technical imperfections with smokescreens which we have fixed and we have adjusted some of the smokescreen behaviour. In general, smokescreen ranges have become smaller, and the duration became shorter. Additionally, Mocny's and Isegrim's smokescreens are now static and thus do not move with the unit anymore.    Polania  Michal Sikorski: Michal’s ability to chase and kill retreating infantry was impacted by last patch’s change that prevents retreating units from tumbling. Michal's was already on the weaker side, and this change made him even weaker. We have increased his health to give more time to chase, kill and retreat before being caught in the crossfire. 

• Increased Michael’s health and that of his cavalry soldiers from a total of 690 to 820. 
• Increased Michael’s range in which he independently attacks targets in melee from 2 to 3 meters. 

Mocny:  Mocny feels underpowered compared to other artillery mechs. We increased the damage and reloaded cooldown of the deployed Mocny to give it more opportunities to make a difference on the battlefield.  

• Reduced reload cooldown when Mocny is deployed from 19 to 10 seconds. 
• Increased damage while deployed against medium from 75 to 90. 
• Increased damage while deployed against heavy from 65 to 90. 

Saxony   Eisenhans:  We want to bring Eisenhans closer to the player expectation without steering away too far from his role in the unit roster. We have increased his capabilities to deal damage by increasing the chance of his projectiles hitting moving targets, and by increasing their damage.  

• Increased projectile speed from 6 to 2 seconds.  
• Increased damage on unarmored from 30 to 60. 
• Increased damage on light/medium from 40 to 60. 

Prince:   Increased Prince’s repairspeed  Rusviet  Olga:  Veterancy damage scaling was not properly applied to Olga's detonator, which was fixed in this patch. Her detonator now deals less damage when she is not a veteran, and more when she is veteran level 3 or 4. Her veterancy thresholds have been reduced slightly to accommodate for the change in detonator damage. 

• Reduced Olga detonator damage against unarmored from 150 to 120. 
• Reduced Olga detonator damage against light and medium from 250 to 210. 
• Reduced Olga detonator damage against heavy from 200 to 170. 
• Reduced Olga detonator damage against structures from 150 to 125. 
• Reduced Olga veteran threshold from 1500 to 1300. 
• Reduced Olga elite threshold from 4000 to 3500. 

   Usonia  We want to observe the state of the faction over a longer period and thus there are no Usonia specific changes this patch. Next patch might include balance changes for the faction.   Common   Gunship:  The gunship has a similar role to Wotan and Nagan but used to cost only 2 reserve coins, we have increased that to 3. Additionally, we have reduced the anti-air capabilities of the Gunship to increase the number of effective ways to counter it.  

• Reduced anti-air MG damage  On unarmoured from 10 to 3.  On light from 4.5 to 3.  On medium from 3.5 to 2.5.  On heavy from 3 to 2.  On structure from 0.1 to 0.5. 
• Increased reserve coin cost from 2 to 3. 
• Reduced splashradius for Gunship anti-ground weapon.

Ground Forces Rally As We Tease Anti-Air Turrets, More Console Progress And Make Balance Changes and Fixes!

Welcome to July’s DevBlog, which is accompanied by a free update to the game. Apologies for the technical hitches that prevented us from releasing this last week. Read on for all the details, knowledge is power commanders.

Info: Anti-Air Turrets Tease

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/881363c234ca4207fc906577d478d983670be1d0.jpg We’ve seen your feedback since releasing Operation Eagle. Thank you for it, and based on it, we are happy to reveal that buildable Anti-Air Turrets are coming with the next patch However, for gameplay reasons, Anti-Air Turrets will be a base defense and so only buildable in the HQ zone. All factions can build them using engineers and they will serve as a building to protect HQs from air-based units if the players fear aerial assaults. Players will have to making the decision to invest precious resources into them, but our thoughts on balancing them will likely head in the direction that they are relative cheap, and that building two or more can be viable depending on how the game is progressing.

News: Backers Artbook Tease!

https://media.giphy.com/media/CE7eaUVzbHMvygg7Vg/giphy.gif Looks great! We're making progress, but still waiting for all goodies to arrive at HQ before we can then package them up into the backers bespoke editions and send them out to you. We’re very grateful to our backers, not only for their support in getting the game made, but for waiting with us on the physical goodies. Hang tight! If you haven’t seen them yet, we have photos of the metal figurine, medals and battle-bag here. We’ll let you know the moment there’s more worthwhile news, so keep your postal address up-to-date here.

Info: Changelog 23

General Changes:

• Fixed an issue on Usonia’s 2nd mission “Hostile Takeover” where players sometimes could not progress past the final cutscene.
• Fixed an issue that caused a fatal simulation error on “Beachfront Stronghold” 2v2 map if slots 1 or 3 were empty upon the games start.
• Infantry is now immune to tumbling while they are retreating.
• Suppression icon will now appear again on the unity card of infantry.
• Partial fix for an issue on Rusviet Revolution’s 4th missions “No Signal” that prevented players to progress past a the cutscene after entering the radio tower.
• Beachfront Stronghold cover location updates to alleviate squads splitting between levels. Additional cover locations now correctly spawning on upper bastion levels.

Balance Changes: Common faction units Skybike:

• Increased Anti-air damage vs. light from 2.5 to 4.5.
• Increased Anti-air damage vs. medium from 1.5 to 3.5.
• Increased Anti-air damage vs. heavy from 2.5 to 3.

Gunship: The combination of aircraft movement and high damage output made the Gunship just too good of a pick in a lot of situations. We are tuning down the damage a bit to give the other dedicated anti-mech mechs more situations to shine.

• Reduced damage vs light/medium/heavy from 150 to 120.

Airlift:

• Reduced reserve coin cost from 2 to 1.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/6219e3958dedec410440e803c15cd316f5c3c992.jpg Anna and Wojtek: Their strength and versatility gives them the edge over other early-game heroes and most groups of infantry available when they enter with Reserve 1. Tuning Wojtek down a bit reduces the overall power while maintaining Anna’s strength as a sniper.

• Reduced Wojtek's HP from 400 to 350.
• Reduced Wojtek's damage against infantry from 40 to 30.

Zolw (troop-transport mech):

• Increased Reserve deployment cost from 350 to 400 iron and 120 to 135 oil.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/c8967f13c5dece7bb64a9ffd0c83956b18a8f58d.jpg Ognivo (flamethrower mech): Where Ognivo shines the most is when the veteran ability is unlocked. Reaching veterancy is a bit too difficult, therefore we decreased the amount of XP necessary to reach it.

• Reduced veterancy threshold from 2000 to 1400.

Barracks and workshop: The longer build and upgrade times for Rusviet sets them a bit too far apart from the other factions in matches where it comes down to every second and every single bar of iron.

• Reduced Workshop and Barracks build times from 55 to 45 seconds, and 55 to 50 seconds, respectively.
• Reduced Advanced Workshop and Advanced Barracks upgrade time from 65 to 45 seconds.
• Reduced Advanced Barracks upgrade cost from 120 oil to 110 oil.
• Reduced Workshop build cost from 140 oil to 120 oil.
• Reduced Advanced Workshop upgrade cost from 575 iron to 520 iron.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/33a0a3a0302070333b812ddd16616c7c77345489.jpg Salem (MG mech): Due to its high accessibility and high damage output in the early game, Salem is able to reach Veterancy too quickly, creating even more of an advantage. We delay the time Salem hits the battlefield and the veterancy upgrade to give enemy infantry a bit more breathing room.

• Increased build cost from 300 iron 80 oil to 330 iron 95 oil.
• Increased veterancy threshold from 1500 to 2000.

Captain William Mason:

• Increased Turret Relocate cooldown from 30 to 50 seconds.
• Increased Turret Requisition cooldown from 80 to 100 seconds.

Admiral George Mason: The combination of George’s distinct attributes make him a difficult to counter. We are reducing his stats across the board to give players more room to come up with answers to him while keeping an eye on the fact this unit cannot be revived once killed.

• Reduced HP from 1300 to 1200.
• Increased reserve coin cost from 2 to 3.
• Splash damage vs. Unarmored decreased from 50 to 40.
• Reduced shell damage vs. unarmored reduced from 50 to 40.
• Reduced shell damage vs. light reduced from 50 to 45.
• Reduced shell damage vs. medium reduced from 40 to 30.
• Reduced shell damage vs. heavy reduced from 40 to 30

News: New Operation Eagle 2v2 Map “Beachfront Stronghold”!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/aae9a880ea743f895ee89fc6e3b2f0a9afe9a56e.jpg This coastal fortress is the first line of defense against invaders from the sea. Gaining control over this war-torn area with its fresh wounds from previous battles is a big challenge, but vital for victory.

Info: New Publisher

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/ae4bbfcb8acdd788e6f14209c4574503def90054.jpg “O.K. so this past year was a challenge for everyone, but we released Iron Harvest together with DeepSilver and thanks to their support, we’ve been able to develop dozens of patches, new maps and even a big addon for you. And you – the community – are just as incredible as you’ve always been since the Kickstarter days, and it has been a great privilege to meet so many of you on the events all over the world. Having no Gamescom, PAX or other events this year is another gut punch. We long for the day we can meet you guys and gals at a gaming event, but the future is still bright. The same team that has worked on Iron Harvest on the publisher side has been added to “Prime Matter”, a newly created premium publishing label, with Iron Harvest as one of its legacy games. While the team remains the same, it’s exciting to start something new and grow in a different direction. We’re working hard on the console versions, to finally get the Kickstarter physical assets to Germany to ship it to you and we can't wait to show you more, all under the new black and red (Rusviet?) flag of Prime Matter!” - Julian Strzoda (Iron Harvest Producer)

We’re looking forward to seeing your strategies adapt.

Click to find the great harvesters of the Community Tournament Discord Channel. GLHF!

Info: Changelog 22

Thanks to players feedback, we’ve implemented a ton of changes to improve the game experience when playing against A.I.

• We’ve reworked how the A.I. chooses which units are most effective for the current task or for destroying certain units
• The A.I. is more responsive when they detect hostile forces and groups start building combat strategies immediately
• We’ve revamped the A.I. at all difficulty levels to make them more distinct from each other. In particularly, Easy and Insane are affected the most, with Easy no longer idling for extended durations, while Insane will put up much more of a fight throughout the entire duration of a match
• We’ve tweaked A.I. at all difficulties to use unit abilities where available and applicable
• The A.I. now features an improved decision making in combat situations, resulting in better strategies when to push or to retreat
• Unit A.I. is now prevented from relentlessly chasing retreating enemy units. They will break off pursuit after a brief period if they can't kill their target
• Increased the chance that the A.I. will use small unit groups to quickly conquer objectives
• A.I. now deals with barbwire more intelligently, either cutting or navigating around it
• Reduced the chances that A.I. will all-in rush your base at the start of the game

As a result of all these improvements we’ve had to adjust the main campaign maps to restore their original spirit. This increased the general campaign difficulty which we then reduced again through other means while still keeping the smarter A.I. and enemy behaviours. Therefore, many old campaign maps are now more responsive, dynamic and fun than ever before! General Changes:

• Fixed a rare case whereby you could target your own units with attack and abilities. For example, Gunter can no longer target allies, and himself, with his punch ability
• Fixed an exploit that allowed building multiple HQs in team games
• Tons of smaller fixes and improvements

These changes and improvements regrettably, but unavoidably, mean that in-mission saved games files from before this update are invalidated. We apologize for this inconvience but campaign progression is unaffected. Balance Changes: For skirmish/multiplayer, Usonia changes everything. Everyone will be experimenting with them to figure out what works best. As the chaos on the battlefield unfolds, we will be monitoring the game closely, collecting game data and making assessments. It will require time for the dust to settle, but no doubt we will have to modify the games balance once an accurate picture emerges.

Info: Changelog 21

General Changes:

• Polania Exosuits (Rycerz) now have a veteran ability “Shields Up”. This reduces incoming damage at the cost of reduced movement speed

https://media.giphy.com/media/CumksG5mzyucPgft8P/giphy.gif

• In the player profile cosmetics tab it is now possible to choose artwork for your skirmish and multiplayer loading screens

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/1928f9037844af81663818d7934a37f714db50b1.jpg

Fixed issues resulting from engineers repairing mechs while too few resources are available

Heroes no longer slide when revived if queued move commands were not completed upon death

Brunhilde repair VFX no longer persists after destruction Balance Changes: We’re happy to see the steady improvement in game balance over past updates. While there may be more to do, with the impending arrival of the Usonians, it makes little sense to make changes before fully evaluating the impact of this fourth faction on the game.

We’ll be revealing more artwork and details over the next weeks, so stay up-to date by joining us on:

Greetings Harvesters,

With the precision of Anna’s shot, let’s get straight into it with all the improvements and greater game options this update brings.

Open Player Slots

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/241314d1d918bd21ac1d7ba6c0ba57d90d49ccc5.jpg Player slots are now open in Skirmish/Custom matches! So, weather you’re playing against the A.I. or other players, this means that you can set-up players into two teams on any map however you like. So on our 4 player maps you can play:

• 1 vs. 1
• 2 vs. 1
• 1 vs. 2
• And of course still 2 vs. 2

While on our 6 player maps you can play:

• 1 vs. 1
• 2 vs. 1
• 1 vs. 2
• 1 vs. 3
• 3 vs. 1
• 2 vs. 3
• 3 vs. 2
• And of course still 3 vs. 3

Go crazy experimenting with different team set ups, we’re sure you’ll have fun with this! Just a note, because of the way the maps are designed, the maximum team size for that map cannot be changed, i.e., no 4 vs. 2. Also this is not Free for All because that requires extensive map reworks and/or new maps. We’re investigating this feature, however, right now we have other priorities and it would be a large undertaking. But, never say never.

AI Improvements

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/518912800fc15a25714670372ad709ad71ad5043.jpg Recently, we pooled together all the feedback we could find from you about our A.I. because we see many of you love a good comp stomp with your friends. We thank you for telling us about odd little A.I. behaviors and quirks. We’ve rigorously investigated these. This led us down a complex rabbit hole that requires improvements to fundamental game systems. Unfortunately, we’ve not completed as many A.I. improvements in this week’s update as we intended We would rather not disappoint and take the time to polish and make adjustments to our proposed fixes with the aim to implementing them in a near-future. Once we are satisfied with their quality you’ll be hearing more about this. Thanks for your understanding. Fortunately, we were able to fix:

• Occasions whereby all the A.I. selects the same reserves have been prevented.
• Skirmish A.I. can no longer build all infantry unit types regardless of faction. i.e. If the A.I. is Polanian, they can no longer build flamers.

General changes

This updates has many fixes and improvements which directly relate to your feedback:

• All players have to signal they are ready and then, to begin a multiplayer match or coop mode, the host must confirm the game’s start. 
• An exclamation mark (!) now appears on a unit’s portrait and unit’s overhead U.I. to indicate when it has been suppressed. 
• Anna’s piercing shot now fires more consistently and is a priority for her over all other actions/animations. 
• Wojtek now heals allied infantry while Anna is in cover. 
• Gunter von Duisburg “Iron Fist” ability no longer causes him to wait 3 or 4 seconds before responding to new commands after landing the hit. 
• Unit abilities no longer trigger on mouse up click if not hovering over the button. 
• Keyboard shortcuts for Abilities (and everything in the skill grid), group assignment, group selection and direct structure selection are now triggered on down-press events instead of up-press events. This will improve perceived response times. 
• The cavalry commander Michal Sikorski can no longer pick up weapon and victory point crates.
• Numerous balance and unit adjustments to keep the 2nd challenge mission “Stronghold Siege” difficult, but now much more achievable.  
• The secondary objectives and challenges on the 2nd challenge mission “Stronghold Siege” has been reworked to also make them easier to achieve. 
• Minor adjustments to the rock placement and destroyer cannons on the 2nd challenge mission “Stronghold Siege”, as well as fixed dialogue and Artillery shoutout bugs. 
• Crewing the destroyer cannons no longer counts against "Build no fortification” achievement on Rusviet’s 4th campaign mission “Infiltrating Saxony”. 
• Olga now retreats to saxony medic tents when built on Saxony’s 5th and 6th Campaign missions. 
• Fixed the U.I. of Polania’s barracks that displayed two rows for T1 infantry. Now it displays one row and is consistent with other faction barracks U.I. 
• Unit portraits no longer selectable by mouse drag box.

• Fixed flashing cutscene transitions during the Rusviet Revolution campaign missions.

• Issuing, usually accidentally, directional commands via the minimap has been disabled.  

Balance changes

Suppression: Is now more intuitive and clearer. A lot of units that are not primary sources of suppression have had their values reduced, whereas the Heavy Machine Guns, for example, has received higher suppression values. The list is too long to write here, but you’ll notice many units received a tweak. Also, for clarity, a suppression icon (!) is now displayed on units' overhead U.I. and on their unit portrait. Mechs and Infantry: We were still seeing that light/T1 mechs are often skipped out on and also buried under a flood of infantry. To address this, we’ve decrease workshop costs and increase barracks upgrade costs as well as given buffs to light/T1 mechs to help players transition better into the later stages of the game.

• Polania Advanced Barracks cost increased from 180 to 340 iron and 85 to 100 oil.
• Saxony and Rusviet Advanced Barracks cost increased from 180 to 380 iron and 85 to 120 oil.
• Polania Workshop cost decreased from 400 to 250 iron and 120 to 100 oil.
• Saxony Workshop cost decreased from 450 to 250 iron and 150 to 130 oil.
• Rusviet Workshop cost decreased from 500 to 300 iron and 165 to 140 oil.

Mortar Weapon System: Received a clearer definition of its purpose in being a high threat to infantry.

• Damage vs. unarmored increased from 65 to 70.
• Damage vs. light armor decreased from 100 to 50.
• Damage vs. medium and heavy armor decreased from 100 to 40.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/6219e3958dedec410440e803c15cd316f5c3c992.jpg Lech Kos (Rebel Leader): The damage per second increase he received from his passive ability made him hard to properly respond to. We’ve adjusted the thresholds at which this ability kicks in so that now it requires more thought on how best to deploy him. His ability to harm structure was also too high and so has been reduced.

• Reduced damage to structures from 80 to 60.
• Changed the HP thresholds at which his passive ability activates: State 1, from 90% to 60% HP and State 2 from 50% to 20% HP.

Strażnik (Spider Mech):

• Increased HP 550 to 600.

Śmiały (Scout Mech):

• Increased HP from 750 to 850.
• Increased damage vs. medium armor from 60 to 70.
• Increased damage vs. heavy armor from 35 to 50.
• Increased damage vs. structures from 30 to 35.
• Oil cost decreased from 120 to 110.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/68c152fa7c21be57f84683f1b90498e2f9777f53.jpg Grimbart (Gatling Mech):

• HP increased from 1000 to 1100.
• Cost decreased from 90 to 80 oil.

Isegrim (Tank Mech):

• HP Increased from 800 to 950.
• Cost decreased from 120 to 110 oil.

Wotan (8 Legged Mech): Now that light/T1 mechs have received an upgrade, its HP should compensate.

• HP increased HP 600 to 700.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/c8967f13c5dece7bb64a9ffd0c83956b18a8f58d.jpg Victor Popov: His high Area of Effect damage caused him to gain veterancy very quickly. It is now slower and with slightly lesser impact so that he is more easily countered at higher veterancy levels. Overall, his auto attack damage was too high, so it has been reduced to make him more reliant on his abilities for dealing damage.

• Veterancy bonuses decreased.
• Veterancy thresholds increased.
• Hitbox slightly increased.
• Damage vs. unarmored, light, medium and heavy armor decreased from 40 to 30.
• Damage vs. structures decreased from 25 to 20.

Ognivo (Flamer Mech):

• HP increased from 700 to 750.

Kolokol (Bomber Mech):

• HP increased from 800 to 900.
• Damage increased vs. medium armor from 55 to 65.
• Damage increased vs. heavy armor from 35 to 50.

Groza (Rocket Exosuits): We felt that they were left behind and their resource costs would be too high compared to the other T1 mechs.

• Oil cost reduced cost from 100 to 80.

Nakovalnya (Rocket Artillery): It’s Sentry Mode has always been very strong and it is not always easy to see where it will strike. Therefore, we’ve reduced the punishment opponents get when not immediately realizing that they’ve strayed into its attack range.

• Damage vs. light, medium and heavy armor reduced from 80 to 60.
• Damage vs. structures from 50 to 40.

Nagan (Revolver Mech): Overall, it was too strong and a bit prevailed in too many matchups.

• Damage vs. light armor decreased from 65 to 60.
• Damage vs. medium and heavy armor decreased from 45 to 40.

With March complete, Spring isn’t the only thing in the air as more changes are coming to Iron Harvest.

News: Backers Physical Perks

As you know, we had originally planned to be able to ship out your Kickstarter Backer Goodies in time for Iron Harvest PC-release. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 crisis continued and many of the numerous small and high-quality companies we partnered with suffered setbacks and delays. We can now reveal that production is underway and we’ve been sent these awesome photos of the goodies. On the left we have the faction medals and the battle bag on the right {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/3c3cec53ddb2f0798a4001e2692ed2db9f1edb48.jpg While manufacturing has started, we can’t confirm at this point an exact shipping date. We are hoping, with easing Covid-19 restrictions, that this will be in or before the summer. Of course, we’ll announce more as soon as we know more. However, we have used the extra time to work with the manufacturers to enhance the quality of the metal-build figurine. Check out these awesome photos sent to us of the manufacturing process, metal molds, bases and packaging. It’s happening! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/e17979c7b688cdae2409bce3d6ecd796b3236698.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/d0f46e32ac210db9ae002c07e1e313542ae2fd6e.jpg

Greetings Harvesters,

As you may have seen from this month’s roadmap, we’re focusing on players experience during the campaign missions and custom game options for those of you who like to do your own thing. This begins with today’s update and we've also fixed many bugs.

Campaign Difficulty

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/45d414db56a3d969eb4505b9e2647ab890ebe1cb.jpg Following feedback from a range of campaign players, we have investigated and adjusted the difficulty curve of the single player experience. In particular, sudden difficulty spikes experienced in Polania’s 4th (Railroad Robbery), Polania’s 5th (“A Path to Hope”) and 7th (“Showdown”) campaign missions. Not everyone is a veteran RTS gamer, and so we’re sensitive to Polania campaign feedback because we know for many it’s their first dive into RTS gaming. For example, to smooth out the challenge curve we want players to experience, we’ve added more health packs and weapons, as well as increased the time between enemy attack waves. We also worked on later missions players pointed out to us. Unfortunately, these changes are significant enough that saved game files on Polania’s 2nd through to 7th campaign missions, Rusviet’s 2nd, 3rd and 7th missions, as well as Saxony’s 1st and 4th missions, have been invalidated.

Faction A.I. In Custom Games

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/45c9c8fc28fe647b79eb5e3d608b1891052efa11.jpg Just as you can in single player Skirmish mode, you can now choose the A.I. faction and difficulty in multiplayer custom matches. If you like surprises, you can now even set the A.I. faction to random in both skirmish and custom game mode. We’re happy to add this as part of our continued efforts to promote game replay-ability via increased game set-up options. Now it’s easier for you and your mates to enjoy a weekend of comp stomping! Stay tune, because in 2 weeks we’ll have another major step towards great game customisation.

General changes:

We continue to respond to your feedback with general improvements and bug fixes:

• U.I. Icon added above allied heroes to highlight when they are unconscious, same as for your own heroes.
• Units that are interacting now properly retreat when ordered, even if a different unit is already retreating to the same target.
• Exo-suits now no longer get stuck during retreat because the retreat order ends as soon as one of the unit models reaches it’s target building. Same as with normal infantry.
• Related to this bug, we fixed various issues that occurred when engineers were ordered to repair exo-suits, one of these was engineers splitting up.
• Fixed issues that caused units and resource points to not be displayed in the mini-map.
• Players can now open the ingame menu via the Esc key even if they have toggled the U.I. off (F10).
• Suppression improvements that now consider where the fired projectile actually hits and influence units along its flight path. Structures and mechs no longer explicitly block suppression in the same way, but suppression now stops at the location where the projectile actually impacts.
• Fixed a bug whereby mechs sometimes continued to walk in the direction of their previous target.
• Fixed a cause of fatal simulation errors in Polania’s 7th mission “Showdown”.
• Fixed old skirmish setting values that got broken if the games language was changed.
• Fixed a bug to improved how splash damage is allocated.
• Fixed the U.I. from flickering when collecting achievements.
• Fixed lobby chat not showing recent fading messages when closed.
• Adjusted the unit presets that the A.I. can choose for their reserves to make them more effective.
• Fixed a bug that caused issues when garrisoned squads were healed after cutscenes.
• Fixed a bug that resulted in units that were garrisoned from being duplicated after the cutscene in the middle of Saxony’s 1st mission “Welcome to the mud”.
• Fixed missing walls and hedges. This will invalidate saved games on Oil Spill, Urban Paradise, Harbor City, Restless Woods (Multiplayer maps) and Hold The Line (Challenge Map). Rusviet’s 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and Saxony’s 6th campaign missions, as well as the 3rd Rusviet Revolution mission have also been affected.

Balance changes:

As always we continue to assess game data and talk with the community to gather feedback to inform changes. Our next updated in 2 weeks will implement adjustments we conclude necessary.

Now you can comp stomp, further A.I. improvements and game options are on the horizon!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/5bf69399210440c59fbb3998a4aa71c9f9ae01bf.jpg In 2 weeks:

• Open Slots in Skirmish/Custom matches, making 1v2, 2v1, 1v3, 3v1, 2v3, 3v2 and 2v2 on a 3v3 map possible. You can also 1v1 or 2v1 on our 2v2 maps. This is not “Free for All” because that requires extensive map reworks & new maps.
• A.I. improvements based on your feedback.
• More balance and gameplay improvements.

Hey everyone, here's this month's Roadmap!

This month we focus on giving you greater game-set up customisation and AI improvements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/ec8b10bc1ce301d2de130656078c97f34601e06e.pngStarting next week:

Week 2:

• Adjustments to smooth out the AI difficulty on Campaign maps.
• A.I. factions will be selectable in custom games.

Week 4:

• Open Slots in Custom matches, making 1v2, 2v1, 1v3, 3v1, 2v3 and 3v2 possible.
• This is not Free for All because that requires extensive map reworks & new maps, but we're still investigating this.
• A.I. improvements based on your feedback.
• More balance and gameplay improvements.

Let us know in the comments which feature your most looking forward to this month. Have a great gaming weekend and we're looking forward to tomorrows 3v3 tournament! Join the Iron Harvest community tournaments Discord for more info here: https://discord.gg/mqj2h78JrS

News: Heroes’ FOW and Revival!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/f2ddd96b4c3efb3ca8f0c9878579f83102a0ef2c.jpg These are another two key community suggestions that we are happy to now implement. You can now use infantry and foot Heroes to revive Heroes from allied teams who have valiantly fallen unconscious in battle. Furthermore, the Fog of War revealed by unconscious heroes has now been reduced to prevent them from being used to spy on enemies while still allowing you to easily find them on screen and the mini-map.

Reserves Rework!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/2e48f0811f2d74647f6c56fb8e3591df0a303a8b.jpg Thanks to all your recent feedback we are ready to rework the Reserve System. This update aims to increase the variety of viable loadouts and encourage players to opt for having units in both Reserve I and II. From the data it is clear that Reserves have a huge impact on the game and are often the deciding factor. We want to reduce this on the games while maintaining the wow factor once it hits. Here’s how:

• The cost of a Reserve ingame now depends on which specific units it contains. This cost is still cheaper than building them normally through the barracks or workshop.
• Reserve Slots have been reduced from 3 to 2 per tier.
• Reserve Coins have been reduced from 6 to 5 in total.
• Exo-suits, Straznik, Grimbart and Ognivos can now only be picked for Reserve II.
• Instead of at least one advanced building and a basic building, deploying Reserve II now requires one advanced building, or two basic buildings.
• Deploying an empty Reserve costs 100 iron. It will still grant the player plus 25% maximum population capacity.

News: February’s Highlights

Improved Response Times

We recent improved response times between you issuing orders and the units undertaking them and it’s been encouraging to hear that many players can notice the difference. Responses time has been roughly halved, resulting in slicker gameplay.

Casual Community 3v3 Tournament

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/a61ab3fda98da10e644b30fdf15651ac986d01bf.png This should be a lot of fun and good chance to bring together players of all skill levels. Yours truely (The Iron Doctor) has already signed up and I'm sure I'll be able to drag some more Dev into the fray. Sign-ups are already open. Click here for the Community Tournament Discord Channel. GLHF!

More Accolades

After our runaway success at the German Game Awards, Iron Harvest was also nominated by the French “Académie des Arts et Techniques du Jeu Vidéo” for Best International Game alongside other top games. Looking forward to the result with fingers crossed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/8461cb99bce56947b70bf9eb20bef8b3b289c8ef.jpg More info at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39776893/sale/pegases

Info: ChangeLog 16

General Changes

• The A.I. now spends the same amount of coins as those available to the player.
• The Rusviet’s Nagan and Polania’s Tur mechs chrome skins have returned to the cosmetics screen as intended.
• Prevented Destroyer Cannons from firing at targets that have disappeared into the Fog of War.
• Fixed a few instances where larger mechs would fall through the terrain. We’ll be keep an eye out for more of these.
• Enemy buildings within the campaign are correctly described in their tool tip.
• Fixed an issue that caused game freezes to occur in both single player skirmishes and multiplayer matches at around 10 minutes.
• Fixed an issue that would cause checksum errors on older machines.
• Fixed an issue that prevented resource display from correctly updating when bulding a HQ in campaign missions

Balance Changes

Since the last update we’ve observed that the infantry changes had a lot of impact on the games progression. Mechs are closer to the state we want them to be and so we’ve decided to refrain from modifying them all and tuned back the infantry buff. Gunners: have now been moved from the Barracks to the Advanced Barracks in order to make the counter of early mechs more difficult. Advanced Barracks unit cost reduction has been readjusted: Engineers, riflemen, stormtroopers, vanguards, grenadiers, medics, and flamethrowers are cheaper when built through Advanced Barracks comareped to the normal Barracks.

• Engineers cost increased from 100 to 125 Iron.
• Riflemen/Stormtrooper/Vanguard cost increased from 125 to 175 Iron.
• Grenadier cost increased from 150 to 200 Iron.
• Flamethrower cost increased from 150 to 200 Iron.

Mortar systems: Compared to Polania's and Saxony’s artilleries, the mortar weapon system couldn't hold their ground or find a role to fill. By comparison, their inferior range is now compensated for by more damage potential, especially against larger groups of enemies.

• Damage against unarmored increased from 50 to 65.
• Damage against Light armor increased from 93 to 100.
• Damage against Medium armor increased from 80 to 100.
• Damage against Heavy armor increased from 67 to 100.
• Mortar system’s explosion radius increased from 1.5 to 4.
• Mortar system’s outer explosion radius increased from 4 to 6.
• Mortar system’s outer explosion radius damage modifier increased from 0.2 to 0.4.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/c8967f13c5dece7bb64a9ffd0c83956b18a8f58d.jpg The Serp (Sickle mech): Against high skilled players, this monstrosity would not effectively reach their targets. Increased HP should help it survive long enough to inflict damage.

• HP increased from 1150 to 1400.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/f4f735f31a00ba2092527f710247bc8188ea9a69.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/68c152fa7c21be57f84683f1b90498e2f9777f53.jpg Prince Wilhelm: His Lay Waste ability now has a good portion of its former glory restored (#Bringbackthebrr), while still using an appropriate fire rate. To make him more worthy of the Kaiser and better able to survive long enough to menace other mechs we have increased his resilience. Also, don't be mistaken by the flat damage values below, the increased Area of Effect of each bullet also contributes to more damage output.

• HP increased from 650 to 700.
• Armor class adjusted from Medium to Heavy.
• “Lay Waste” ability Splash radius increased from 1.5 to 2.5.
• Damage vs. unarmored increased from 40 to 50.
• Damage vs. light armor increased from 20 to 30.
• Damage vs. medium armor increased from 15 to 30.
• Damage vs. heavy armor increased from 10 to 20.
• Damage vs. structure increased from 7 to 15.

The Grimbart (Gatling Mech): This chonky boy now suppresses targets and is more effective against groups of enemies.

• Suppression added to its main weapon.
• Its “Sweep” ability suppression value and area has been increased.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35666222/4d1214b941b08e842c29b28a889ca265276e0562.jpg Mechs and exo-suit Reserve coin costs have been adjusted as well: Saxony

• The Grimbart and Eisenhans now cost 1 coin each.
• The Isegrim and Erlkönig now cost 2 coins each.
• The Wotan and Stiefmutter now cost 3 coins each.

Polania

• The Łowca and Żółw cost 3 coins.
• Śmiały and Mocny cost 2 coins.
• Straznik and Exosuits cost 1 coin.

Rusviet

• Nagan and Serp cost 3 coins.
• Kolokol and Nakovalnya cost 2 coins.
• Groza and Ognivo cost 1 coin.

Happy Chinese New Year!
