Patch 0.24 "Rally the Ranks"

Humans Vs Orcs · published 10 Jun 2026, 11:18 UTC · build 23659262

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

🛡️ Field a bigger army


You start with 5 active unit slots now (up from 3), and newly recruited units no longer vanish onto the bench without a word. When a unit can't fit your active roster you'll be told to equip it in War Council ▸ Army — drag it from the Bench to Active and send it to the front. No more wondering why your shiny new unit won't deploy.

💰 Chests that actually pay


Boss chests used to pop open to a useless "BOSS DEFEATED!" message. Now they hand you a real gold bounty that scales with the wave. Crack the chest, take the coin.

⚖️ Winning finally beats dying


Skulls used to only come from losing units — so the smart play was to feed your army to the grinder. No more. Clearing a wave now earns Skulls (with a bigger bounty on boss waves), so pushing forward is the best way to grow your legacy. Starting gold is up too, so the opening waves are winnable instead of a grind.

🌍 Now in your language


Humans vs Orcs is now fully playable in 6 languages:

  • English
  • Español
  • Deutsch
  • Français
  • Italiano
  • Português (Brasil)


Pick yours in Options ▸ Language. Menus, the War Council, abilities, upgrades, legacy perks and all 42 unit names are translated. Polski, Русский, 日本語, 한국어 and 简体中文 are translated and coming next (pending font work).

🐛 Polish & fixes

  • Fixed the Vampire Archer and several other units rendering oversized and floating off the ground — they now stand at the right scale on the lane
  • Clearer "spend your Skulls in Main Menu ▸ Legacy" guidance after a defeat
  • Main-menu Legacy button now reads Legacy Upgrades so you know where your permanent power lives

100% save-compatible — your best wave, Skulls and unlocks all carry over.

Thanks to everyone who left a review — this patch is built straight from your feedback. Keep it coming. 🪓
