War Selection news & patch notes

In this update we’re rolling out a major rework of late–game ground warfare and Wonder victories. Super-heavy tanks now truly feel terrifying on the battlefield, gaining the ability to crush enemy infantry, while many armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons receive powerful slowing effects on hit. The rules for winning by Wonder of the World have also changed: the base victory time is shorter, but each additional Wonder in the match will now delay the outcome, giving opponents more room to react.

Alongside these changes, we’ve improved aircraft pathing, increased regeneration for all living units, and made a wide range of balance tweaks for multiple civilizations – from early fishing and defenses to industrial tanks, artillery, ships and support units. Overall, battles should become more dynamic, clearer in their power spikes, and provide more counter-play in the late stages of the game. Updates:

General:

Various parts of the game have been optimized

The minimum time to win by Wonder of the World has been reduced from 90 to 75 minutes, but for every subsequent Wonder of the World built by any player in the match, the time to victory increases by 5 minutes

Aircraft movement along routes has been significantly improved: they now deviate from the chosen trajectory much less often

A unit now tries to exit a building at the point where it was when it entered

An experimental mechanic of crushing units with tanks has been introduced. For now it is enabled only for super-heavy tanks and the Div-Destroyer

When the damned armies fell, silence did not follow. From beneath their bodies poured a thick, putrid green fog, and the earth beneath them hissed as if awakening in pain. The dead grass blackened, curled, and from the cracks crawled roots — like hands reaching toward the sky. With a rasp that froze the blood, the souls of the warriors tore free — grim, glowing with the sickly light of decay and rot. They howled, as if a thousand throats screamed at once, and began to swirl in a spiral above the field. The air trembled, and the souls, rising into the heavens, dissolved into the dark clouds, leaving behind the stench of dampness and corruption. And where they had fallen, the earth began to rot — blackening, crusted with a film of dead mold. No one dared step there again. Even the wind passed it by.

The Damned is now available in our game store for this eerie autumn season.

Hi friends! We’ve released a small but important update to community maps with mods.

We went through community maps and updated their connected mods to the latest builds.

This reduces the number of crashes and, in some cases, even restores functionality to maps that were breaking due to outdated dependencies.

As the game evolves, older mod versions can stop working correctly. We continuously update all mods created by our team. But without timely updates of the connected mods, maps may start malfunctioning or even fail to launch.

If you maintain your own maps, please check the list of connected mods from time to time and update them to the latest versions to avoid incompatibilities.

Thank you for playing and supporting us with your creations. Enjoy the game!

Old folks say that in times long forgotten, there lived a wise Sylvan Serpent, the guardian of woods and keeper of hidden paths. Its breath was a fragrant breeze that brought life, and its voice—a melody enchanting all living things. Yet one day, a cruel ruler came to the forest, wishing to fell the trees and build a city devoid of the spirit of life. The serpent gave up the spark of its own life to protect the ancient woodland and took away the will of the foolish invaders. Absorbing the evil of mankind, it transformed into an eternal guardian

From the clouds, with a thunderous roar and a howling wind, an enormous bright-orange pumpkin plummeted and crashed near the headman's house. The earth trembled beneath its weight. It was so gigantic that it could have fed the entire village for weeks. Soon, cries of terror echoed from every direction. The villagers rushed out of their homes, unable to believe their eyes. The pumpkin, split open like an ancient beast, as if torn from the bowels of the earth, suddenly cracked further. From its depths, as though drawn out by some abyss, emerged grotesque figures — faceless, with long, clawed limbs. With a disgusting squelch, enormous spiders and beetles began to crawl out — black as pitch, their legs coated in thick slime. Their eyes, glowing like red embers, gleamed in the mist. They scurried in every direction, like a horde of ravenous predators. But that was only the beginning. After them, human bones started to fly out of the pumpkin — not just scattered fragments, but entire skeletal hands and skulls, glimmering in the darkness. They twirled through the air in a grotesque dance of death. And behind them, as if emerging from the very pits of hell, coffins followed. Black, massive, covered in green mold and dirt, they whirled over the field, their lids slamming shut with a hollow thud. But the most terrifying sight of all was the appearance of gigantic black clocks, entirely made from human skeletons. The hands on the clock face spun wildly, filling the air with a horrifying crunch, as if bones were breaking, pushing time mercilessly toward midnight. Instead of a chime, a menacing graveyard hum echoed, reverberating across the fields and forests, freezing the villagers in their tracks with fear.

Late autumn drapes the forests in a soft, impenetrable mist, enveloping everything around like a veil. Bright red-orange leaves, like flames carried by the wind, create a carpet on the ground, making every step mysterious and enigmatic. During these days, the ancient magic of the forest awakens. Animals typically seen during the day disappear, giving way to unusual, magical creatures. The shadows of these beings silently make their way to human settlements, bringing with them memories of ancient times. As night falls, villages are illuminated only by the pale light of the moon. The mist that has wrapped the forests also creeps to the graveyards, where ancient shadows begin their silent vigil. They remind of the past, of times when the world was full of magic and mysteries. On these days, even the bravest villagers prefer not to venture outside after dusk, for they know: the Cursed ground awakens, and it's better not to provoke its wrath.
