Greetings, exalted orx-slayers!
The upcoming major update "Legacy of Kings" (name pending) is not too far from being finished! It's now feature complete (which means we won't be adding any more big features) and we're busy polishing and balancing it.
While you wait, though, you might want to have a little appetizer for things to come — which we're more than happy to provide!
"What sort of magick is this?!" Not magick, but Spirits — they occupy a tile, and if you were to build on top of it, you will reap the Spirit's powerful bonuses. These range from an extra card slot for your hand to, our favorite, making the tile you've just placed cost 0 gold! We hope that they'll make the map more 'tactile' and provide extra initiative to expand your Kingdom's premises!
"What sort of unholy Necromancy is this?!!" Hold off your accusations, good sirs and madams! This one's a good kind of resurrection! The one to help you overcome a wall, instead of crumbling under the crushing weight of defeat. As we make the game more and more complex, introduce new devious ambushes, branching event choices and, frankly, a little bit of chain jerking — you might find yourself losing a mission or two. Well, now this just doesn't mean that you'll be forced to abandon your run. Because we believe in you, and sometimes all you need is just a 2nd chance! At a fair price, of course.
However, this is just a tip of the proverbial iceberg in terms of just how much we've included in this update. Don't worry, the core gameplay loop of fending off ORX and getting more powerful remains intact. We just added dimensions to it! Hopefully, you now see why we didn't release these changes as separate, smaller updates. It just wouldn't make sense nor feel coherent. We employ you to bear the wait juuust a little longer, as we aim to release this update in about 20 or so days!
And while you wait,
why not check out a free demo for a grimdark deck building colony sim — IRONHIVE!

Here's what you can expect from the demo:
- Rebuild your home. Elevate housing, utility, social, production, and defense buildings. Beware – a big city requires a lot of resources, and if you can’t provide them, your colony will lose Stability, which will lead to rapid collapse.
- Deal with tough choices. Use the cards you’ve been dealt wisely. Each turn represents a season you’ve survived, and while you have Stability, there’s still hope. If it reaches zero, it’s over for you.
- Explore the Wasteland. Send out expeditions in search of vital resources, technologies and various items. But remember: the sweeter the reward – the higher the risk.
- Take On the Harsh World’s Challenges. The decisions you make will directly impact your city. All the narrative events are interconnected, creating a different story for each of your colonies.
