- Update 1.4 - Major Visual Updates - 6 February 2021
Hey Everyone, As you might have heard - we are back to working on Kingdom Wars. With multiple updates planned in the coming months. Today is the first step on this journey... We start with updating all the art assets to an acceptable level, with many art improvements that we added to our other games now finally added to Kingdom Wars. You will notice that majority of the game`s textures has been updated or replaced with new once, and overall the visual fidelity has been greatly improved. In the next update we`ll continue with visual improvements across the board, including updating the world map visuals, more improvements to how homelands look, and first round of PvP and combat improvements. We are aiming to have the next large update towards the end of February. And so, lets take a look at what update 1.4 brings: Update # 1.4 Visual Improvements All the trees updated to the new art All…
- Moving Forward and MKW Invites. - 31 March 2017
http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw1.jpg Dear Players, As you might have noticed we haven`t updated Kingdom Wars in a while. And while we still update KW2B regularly, the team is working on our next big title, a grand strategy game Medieval Kingdom Wars. I`m afraid I can`t give you any good news with regards to Kingdom Wars... as you might have read before - we hit a roadblock with all the updates to the engine that we had since we started working on Kingdom Wars several years ago, that made us unable to retain player progress if we were to continue updating the game. We are not sure about future plans for Kingdom Wars - perhaps one day we`ll re-release it as a new F2P experience using the updated engine, who knows, but one thing for sure - we`ll keep on running the original KW game servers indefinitely while there`s still any interest in the game. With several free expans…

- Explaining the Lack of Updates - 28 October 2016
Dear Players, It saddens me to say so, but looks like once again we have to let our Kingdom Wars community down. After spending countless hours on trying to port the KW2B engine update into KW1, we have to admit that we have failed, and there`s no good way to go on. We tried... and tried and tried, several time we patched the new updates in, just to revert it hours later. Due to lowering player population, and not being able to release the big updates we always planned - there`s only this much we can do for Kingdom Wars moving forward. We do hope to release couple of smaller updates, but to be honest - they will not be adding any major content and will be mainly cosmetic. Meanwhile - we will continue running the game servers for KW1, and our moderators will continue working with the game. Hopefully down the road - we might come up with some solution, for example - as been proposed by ou…

- Starter Pack DLC Released - 29 August 2016
http://kw2b.com/steampics/dlc_sp.jpg Dear Players, As we continue to attract new players to the game to allow our team to spend more time working on Kingdom Wars updates and expansions we have released the second planed DLC. Please rest assured that we are not making our veteran KW players pay for any new content - these DLCs are meant mostly for new players or for these who want to support our small indie company. Also we took precautions not to turn KW into a pay-to-win game, these DLCs were designed not to cause any balance issues, and are limited in their benefits. And so introducing the second DLC - the "Starter" pack. Enter the world of Kingdom Wars with an amazing starter pack including everything you need to bypass the grind of the early game and start building an empire with an army of Dwarven Mercenaries and a powerful Dragon under your command. Start Pack DLC includes: -Two e…

http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw1.jpg Dear Players, We are happy to say that we are back to Kingdom Wars 1, with what we hope will be small but regular updates for months to come. As we continue work on the main game engine update, that we hope to figure out by mid September, we have plans for the next three smaller updates that will introduce a lot of art updates, gameplay balancing, fixing exploits, and introducing minor new features. In addition we`ll be running few promotions during the next 30 days aiming to increase the player population. We`ll also be releasing couple of DLCs - Starter Pack and All Access DLC, that will help us bring more players, as well as allow us to dedicate more resources to KW1. And so introducing update 1.3. This is the update that you`ll "see" right away as you load your homeland. Here`s detailed list of features: -Greatly increased visua…

- Update 1.3 Next Week! - 8 August 2016
http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw2.jpg Dear Players, After continuous delays we have finally made some progress and getting ready to release update 1.3 next week. Update will come in two parts, one updating the game content with balancing changes, fixing exploits - like disconnecting to avoid losses, and improving game visuals by including some new textures - specifically the game terrain. We expect update 1.3 A to be live by Tuesday the 16th. On Wednesday the 17th we plan to release networking update for the engine (same update that caused some problems in the past). This update will come with a 24 hour testing period on live, during which we might be rolling back progress, if we encounter any issues with the update. If successful update 1.3 B will greatly improve multiplayer performance and overall stability of the game. We`ll keep you update with more details as we co…

- Update 1.2 - "First Step" is Live! - 28 April 2016
http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw2.jpg Hey Guys and Girls, It`s such an amazing feeling to continue work on Kingdom Wars 1. The team and I are looking forward to fulfilling all the promises we made with regards to Kingdom Wars future, and albeit delayed by a few months, we hope that today`s update will be a great first step in that direction. Today we take another swing at releasing update 1.2. Following the problems with the original patch we broke it down into two parts, and done a lot of of additional debugging and polishing. We have taken all the precautions to make sure nothing gets broken, and if it does, nobody will loose any progress (at most 60 minutes of progress will be lost if worst comes to worst) This Part 1 will include 90% of changes from our original update 1.2, however we will not be forcing players to update (can keep on playing on older patch), and it…

- Resuming work - Update 1.2 next week - 15 April 2016
http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw1.jpg Dear Players, After vacation week for our core team, we are back to work on Update 1.2, and after resolving a few issues - we are now working on good way to release 1.2 next week. You know... without any of these tiny... town erasing bugs. The plan right now is to update in several patches. We`ll release a small start-up patch 1.2A on Tuesday, and then follow up by releasing several mini updates B, and C later in the week. The big part of the update 1.2 C will come on Thursday/Friday as a Beta update, that players will be able to opt-in to try over the weekend. If everything goes well there we`ll complete the patching progress by the following Monday. Once we finally complete upgrading the game to 1.2 things will go much better down the road, as updating Kingdom Wars will be a breeze compared to hell we are going through with 1.2 Le…

- Patch 1.2 Removed & Server Rollback Update - 31 March 2016
http://dofgame2.com/yfa67tkq7qykj6vd/steampics/kw2.jpg Ladies and Gentleman, We regret to inform you that today we had to make a decision to remove patch 1.2. We are sincerely sorry about all the grief we brought you in the past few days. As we remove this cursed update 1.2, we also have to roll back the servers to last Friday's saved games. This is all due to the patch 1.2 breaking a few players cities. This is the last time that we plan to do a roll-back, or that something will break due to the patch 1.2 What does this roll back mean? *If you have played since last Friday, all your progress will be erased back to that day. *If you crashed or could not access a city since last Friday, you will now be able to. If you have lost progress because of this rollback, please contact us either in the game by whispering a Moderator or email us at [email protected], you could also make a p…
