Thank you for your feedback!

I'm happy to announce that the Stone Age Orc race has been fully illustrated. Now all the buildings between the two races look great! The artist did an amazing job!

Here are some additional improvements:

  • Fixed mission restart. Construction no longer glitches

  • Smooth transitions between screens

  • Menu window when pressing the Esc key

  • Main menu screen

See you soon.
