- Dedicated servers closing down after 4 years. - 10 May 2023
Since the full Bannermen release in February 2019, we have offered players across the globe the possibility to find matches and create custom games with friends using our dedicated servers. However, due to low server activity and the fact that Amazon Web Services is discontinuing their software framework support for the version Bannermen utilizes, all dedicated Bannermen servers will be closed down by the end of June, 2023, i.e. in about 8 weeks from now. We will soon update the store page with relevant info. The singleplayer part of Bannermen will still be available, and all saves will remain unchanged. You can still enjoy AI skirmishes and enter the role as Lord Berrian in the campaign, and become the savior of Valtoria.
