Greetings, My King! There are less than 24 hours left to join the Kickstarter Campaign. The project is 82% funded right now, and we still need one final push to succeed. If you're interested in playing the early version of the game next week, join us! All or Nothing A quick reminder regarding how does the Kickstarter Campaigns work for all the people who are joining us for the first time. Kickstarter is following the "all-or-nothing" policy that provides a rather simple rule for all the campaigns. If the Kickstarter Campaign doesn't reach 100% funding within the initial time limit, the Campaign is deemed unsuccessful and all the pledges are canceled. While we truly believe that we can make it, we want to make the situation clear in case we won't be able to reach our goal. Join us and help us ensure the success of this Kickstarter Campaign!

- Diplomacy - Development Update - 8 December 2023
Greetings, my King! Our army of brave developers is steadily moving forward! We recently added the Diplomacy System to King's Orders and are looking into its broad effects on the gameplay. There's also a quick update regarding the upcoming Kickstarter Campaign for all the people who cannot wait for it! Diplomacy The Diplomacy System adds a brand new, advanced layer to the whole gameplay of King's Orders. Previously, all the Nations were acting towards each other based on a relatively simple AI. Attacking each other without a single letter of warning was our bread and butter. Right now all the rulers have to act based on certain battle etiquette. Wars and truces have to be properly declared. The new diplomacy UI includes the following options when sending the letter: Sending diplomats to improve the relations between the two countries, Dismissing diplomats, Insulting the ruler of another…
