major update

Ancient Wars: Medieval Crusades · published

Greeting Strategists!


First of all, thank you all for supporting the project and continuing to build such a fantastic community.

It is a pleasure to announce this great update, which stands out for adding a feature that many of you wanted, such as Steam Workshop support. You already know that the community is the most important thing for me and I hope that this addition helps you to enjoy the game a little more.

Below is the list with all the content of this update:

  • Steam Workshop support (how to use it is described below)
  • New Map: (4) Friends of Our Enemies
  • Added time cost indicator for all objects that require time for their production or construction (Buildings, units, researches, etc...).
  • New sorting system in the selection of units, now grouped in a more intuitive and easy to control by the player.
  • Added penalty effect on ranged units when attacked by a melee unit.
  • Fixed critical bug that forced to restart the game after each multiplayer game to avoid the desync.
  • Fixed bug that caused the overlapping of the penalty suffered by ranged units when attacked by a melee unit that caused their damage to be zero when attacked by numerous melee units.
  • Fixed bug in which the flags of settlements healed neutral units.

I hope you like this update and feel free to give your feedback or any suggestions as always.
