Today we're releasing an update accompanying the launch of the second DLC, Empire Aflame.
It is a fairly sizeable update, and it introduces, among other things, two new themes for Skirmish maps: Borderlands Winter and Northlands.
You can find the full changelog down below. Let us know what you think, your feedback helps us to refine the game and constantly improve it.
Last but not least: we will be releasing Empire Aflame in around one hour, so don't go anywhere!
Changelog:
• Skirmish: Added Borderlands Winter and Northlands as playable themes in skirmish
• Maps Invasion: Adapted map Eagle's Eyrie to move attacking forces further apart in case they are triggered early.

• Map Bugfix: Scarlet Keep mission now has a working optional Troll quest which was missing since release (whoops...)
• Movement in Swamp: Swamp Tiles cost 2 instead of 3 movement points (this makes All Terrain and Force March visibly have an effect)
• Fortify Skill: Fortify now only costs an action, not a move and an action, making units with the skill more useful and versatile. Attention: This means units with the skill will auto-fortify after moving.
• Pilfer Skill: Made Pilfer Training more expensive and Skill yield slightly less gold. Also made sure it only works on enemies.
