Fixes · Fixed a bug where unit cooldowns were being carried over between waves. This caused some troops in the new wave to spawn much later than intended, and in certain cases the wave could end prematurely before all units were summoned. (Reported by: " ESDave" ) · Fixed an issue where upgrade progress was not being counted correctly, preventing the achievement "At my signal, unleash hell." fr…
This hotfix fixes two issues detected after version 1.5.5. Crash when entering the mini-expansion (“The Quest”) A critical error introduced in version 1.5.5 (the Halloween update) has been fixed.

We’re getting closer to version 1.5.0! This week, I’m showing you a small but important change to the troop cards … and the complete rebalance of the hottest realm in Ocelis, Canicula . Changes to Troop Cards Until now, troop cards had a fairly basic design, and even caused some visual issues with certain units — especially the Emaciated, which would almost disappear into the background. They’v…
Today, the release date for version 1.5.0 is announced … but first, let’s take a look at the progress since the last update. Kingdom of Nevura The kingdom of Nevura is now fully rebalanced . Only one map, Rivers of Lina, has been spared from path adjustments. As you can see, most of the changes have focused on defenses. The path changes have been minimal, and when present, they’ve mainly served…
Game balancing continues to move forward , and this time we’re focusing on the kingdom of Estesa , which has been completely reworked . Most of Estesa’s maps required an almost total overhaul , as they didn’t fit well with the new balance system. Only one map has kept its original paths, though its defenses have been adjusted. As you can see, many paths have been changed, and along with them, m…
This time I bring you a preview of the visual changes in some maps, along with a small improvement that makes it easier to see which defenses are disabled. First, the new visual indicator: As you can see, defenses that become disabled—whether by a spell, a troop effect, or a temple effect—will now be visually marked , making it easier to identify them. This indicator will not be visible on Hard…
Today I’m sharing some of the tweaks I’m making while working on the overall game balance. Shield Spell First, the shield spell is getting an adjustment: instead of being a permanent shield , it will now last for 5 seconds . To compensate, the cooldown (CD) will be reduced from 40 to 20 seconds . These times are still subject to change as I continue testing. This will make the spell much more s…
The visual overhaul is now complete, and today I’d like to show you a bit of each realm so you can see the differences for yourselves. As you can see, almost all of the visual noise from the ground has been removed, and new details have been added as well. The realm where these changes shine the most is Canicula, where even new decorative elements—like cacti—have been introduced. I hope you enj…
Last week we said goodbye to the Toledo Matsuri event , but it's not all bad news, I'm here to talk about version 1.5.0. Toledo Matsuri was a great experience for me, as it was my first time participating in a live, in-person event. Thanks to that, and to all the feedback I received, I noticed that some aspects of the game could use a bit of refinement . Specifically, the tileset graphics and t…
During the Toledo Matsuri in-person event, I was able to spot some bugs and notice that certain elements needed adjustments to improve the player experience. This quick and small update is intended to fix the issues I observed during the event and also to introduce an improvement focused on the upgrade menus when capturing a building. The improvement makes it so that, when the camera is zoomed…

These changes not only improve how it…
