Vae Victis - Khan news & patch notes

From time to time I get asked how to fulfill some of the trickier achievements, so I compiled a guide for the less obvious ones. It can be also accessed from within the game via Help -> Google Docs (search for Appendix 1). If you feel more Achievement guidance is needed, please let me know and I'll add it.

Version 0.17 is here. It is a complete overhaul of everything Hawatia with more than 70 new never seen before animations and more than 100 re-renders of stills where I thought the old ones could use improvements. Additionally, I added music and sound effects all over the place. This applies to:

• The Hawatia infiltration quest (Zuri, Lady Zuma, Yuki, the Red Arena combatants)

• All of Queen Sumia’s palace content

• Queen Sumia’s Act 2 (+ Zuri)

I had a lot of fun returning to Hawatia, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the revisit as well!

Additionally, for the first time, we’ve added a new language (Portuguese) you can choose in the Settings. Next is Chinese and then we’ll add more languages.

Next we have a minor quality of life feature: in the Fiefdoms screen, we have added a little dot in the buildings boxes to indicate that a building is under construction. Now you will not have to click on a fiefdom to find out what’s being built.

I’m also working on the next game with my other partner which will probably be in Unreal. We’re currently looking for ways to reduce the size of characters in the game. Vae Victis - Khan has ~180 characters! When all they take are lines of code and pre-rendered images and vids, the number of characters is insignificant. But when they are rendered in real time on your computer, we need to make sure each character takes as little disk space as possible. 

New challenges!

I hope you enjoy this update. If you didn't get to review the game yet, please do so. Every Thumbs Up helps!

I initially intended to have one final graphic overhaul version in early 2026, but then decided to participate in the Steam Winter Sale, and since I was very close to finishing overhauling the Tinpingia content (Mirina the seamstress who lives with her son, the elfkin jailhouse heist, Queen Teniya etc.) and already finished Angilia's Act 2, I decided to publish this version and continue. So enjoy your return to Tinpingia with new animations, re-renders and sound effects.

And now to some more news.

I think I lost contact with another developer-partner. This is a bit early to panic since he last contacted me 5 days ago, but he is aware of today’s launch and hasn't shown any signs of life since then, including some small features he was supposed to push and didn’t. 

Am I some Bermuda Triangle for developers? I hope it’s just a nasty flu. Anyway, enjoy your revisit to Tinpingia!

Hi!

As I wrote in the previous posts, this version does not have new characters and plot, instead it’s an overhaul of everything related to Marbia and the Ziruan Oasis quest: Queen Nahir, Alam, Domia, Fahda, and even Arzu (and her goblins). Additionally, I have revisited Oryenguk to re-render a few dozen images. 

Therefore, I think the best way to enjoy this update is to start a new playthrough and pay attention to the Oryenguk and Marbia quests. I have also added dozens of special sound effects (water trickling, cups clinking, horses clopping and much more), so I would also recommend playing with the speakers on. 

Additionally, a quick recap of smaller features which were detailed in earlier posts:

• Mason’s Guild: unlocks after conquering five fiefdoms. Building it allows construction projects to complete faster.

• Variable army travel time: troop movement now depends on the distance between fiefdoms. (Remember Queen Tiniya and Waikokipia’s travel-time bonus? It’s a lot more useful now!)

• UI Improvements: The UI of the world map, settings pages and fiefdom screens was overhauled.

• Steam Cloud Saves are now enabled.

Enjoy, and thank you for your continuous support!

Hi all!

As I’m starting to wrap version 0.15, I find myself thinking more and more about Vae Victis - 2 (temporary name!) and there are two issues I’d like to consult with you guys about the next game’s design.

TL;DR: Next update will be released in early October. The Good News

• At least 40 new animations

• ~80% of stills re-rendered with sharper detail and improved lighting

• Hairy/Smooth variations for Nahir, Alam and Domia

• Alternate model for Fahda (you’ll still be able to play the “classic” if you’d like)

• Reworked dialogue

• Added sound effects all over the place

And Marbia isn’t just the Ziruan oasis quest. It also covers:

• Alam, Domia's Ac2s

• Fahda’s revisit

• Nahir’s scenes and Act 2

The Strange News

Looking Ahead

Despite all the threats of taking the game down, I'm determined to give you guys the best game I can.

I don't want to sink into feelings of doom and gloom, censorship and being left without income. I'd rather think about big melons. Fahda sized melons.

The models for the Ziruan (Marbia) oasis were chosen four years ago, back when I was just starting out and my experience with 3D aesthetics was far more limited. While the game has grown in popularity, some players have consistently criticized certain models, and I agree that some of them haven’t aged well.

Fahda, in particular, seems to be one of the least favored models among players. Since I’m currently revisiting the oasis, this is the perfect opportunity to address that.

Please write in the comments below which model you like best. As always, the final decision will be mine; sometimes a model looks great in one set but terrible in another, and I may need to adjust accordingly. But your feedback will help me make the best choice.

Cheers! P.S

I don’t know exactly how recent events will unfold, but I do know one thing: if you own a copy of Vae Victis – Khan, it’s yours to keep: right through to its final, completed version.

That’s why I'm launching a special “Khan’s War Chest” flash sale: Vae Victis – Khan has never been this cheap before, and it might never be again.

The sale will run for two weeks, but don’t wait—the sands are shifting fast. If you want to secure your copy forever, now is the time.

Hi all!

As I mentioned in previous posts, I’m currently working on version “1.0” of the game. Alongside new world map mechanics, my main focus right now is revisiting the early parts of the game, mainly Marbia, Oryenguk, Hawatia, and possibly Limtinia. These sections were made when I was just starting out, and looking back at the art and some of the dialogue... well, let’s just say I’ve come a long way since then. That’s the polite way of admitting some of the early content doesn’t hold up.

So far, I’ve completely revamped Karder and Alam’s scenes in the Ziruan Oasis. re-rendered all the images and added animations to the lewd scenes. I’m now turning my attention to Karder and Domia, and I had the idea to tweak her skin tone slightly. Hence: this discussion/poll. Please let me know which skin you like best!

As always, the final decision is mine, but if one version receives overwhelming support, that could absolutely influence my choice.

Also, stay tuned for a Fahda discussion/poll in the coming days: should I change her model completely? Don’t worry, she’ll still reign as the queen of desert-watermelons, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on her face. Feel free to share your opinions on Fahda in the comments as well!

And finally: if you're enjoying the game but didn't get a chance to review it yet, I'd appreciate every Thumbs Up!

Hi all!

If you're here, chances are you love fantasy/medieval settings, and that your tastes can get a little... dark.

Sometimes vanilla is not enough.

So we have decided to partner with two awesome games: Slaves of Rome and Ravager and offer a 25% discount.

Slaves of Rome puts you in the sandals of a slave trainer in ancient Rome. And the training is not about folding the laundry, wink wink. These poor, helpless slave girls need thorough training, training only you can provide... The game boasts beautiful, customizable slaves, funny dialogs, clever quests in the streets of ancient Rome, steamy and lewd scenes and much more.

And if you're tired of puny humans, why not give Ravager a try? In the game, you can play as a powerful dragon, albeit with very human carnal desires and the ruthlessness to act upon them. With beautiful hand drawn images and animations, broad gallery of females of all races to encounter and a gripping narrative, Ravager is a personal favorite of mine for many years now and in part even inspired Vae Victis - Khan. If you haven't played it yes, I envy you a little.

So do yourself a favor and visit the bundle page now.

This major update marks the end of a long journey—Karder has finally crossed the Sea of Knives. The final act of the story begins now. 🗡️ Story Progression Karder sets foot on the Western Sister. The invasion has begun. ⚔️ New Features & Improvements Streamlined 1:1 Combat: Fewer clicks, faster pace, and stylish new backgrounds make duels smoother and more cinematic. New MK2 Unit Types: Expand your tactical options with fresh unit types in army battles. All-New Fiefdom Screen: Manage your conquests with a clearer, more intuitive interface. Original Soundtracks: Four powerful new tracks enhance the most dramatic moments of this update. Queen Yidril Council Bonus: She now brings a unique benefit when serving on your Council. As always, thank you for supporting Vae Victis - Khan. If you’re enjoying the journey, please consider leaving a review—every thumbs up helps more than you can imagine, especially for a small indie team. Destiny awaits across the Sea of Knives!
