A while ago we made the game "semi" "free to play", by opening up the matchmaking to everyone, but having the campaign, map editor and custom games locked behind the definitive edition. It seemed to confuse players more than it did good, and at the same time we really just want people to enjoy what we've created more than earning a bit extra. So the definitive edition has been retired and from this day all content is now available to everyone! With this decision we of course didn't want to make the people that supported us and bought the definitive edition (you got this if you bought the original game once it was pay to play as well) to feel cheated. So we brainstormed a bit, and believe we came up with a very good solution! With this completely free to play approach we have added a new currency called "gems", which can be used to unlock different cosmetics and skins. But owners of the Definitive Edition will be able to earn these gems purely by playing at the same rate as they previously earned Dimensional Gold. So in a nutshell if you've previously supported us by buying the game, you never have to spend anything again. We've also created this view which you can see below to get a quick overview: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28258802/2811e51233eeae261d4da592f3191699d0b53274.png Anyway here's the full patch notes: -Made all content available to everyone -Added new Premium currency "Gems" -Added a new "Store" tab in the menu -Reworked the referral system and gave it its own tab in the menu -Added gems as rewards for the campaign -Made the Ireland music available for the map editor -Made the Ireland assets available for the map editor -Made the Japan assets available for the map editor -Attempted a fix for the death animations not always correctly playing when the unit died outside of view -Custom maps no longer shows as Transylvania in the custom games list New update is out!Jan 23, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello all, First of all we hope you've all had a happy new year, and wish you nothing but success in 2021.

When we started King of the World some of you might remember we used the P2P Networking using the now deprecated UNET. It turned out that just wasn't suited for RTS games, and we were never really satisfied with units often being desynced which we feel ruined the experience. So we decided it was time to just start from fresh and redo all the networking, to build up a good base going forward. At the time we obviously didn't know it would pretty much mean redoing the whole game all over, as a ton of things just broke both due to the networking but also updating the engine. Nonetheless we finally feel we're ready to show you all what we've been up to, so without further ado here's the patch notes: New units: Sniper unit Has a longer range than the mortar but a slower attack speed Officer unit Has three buffs for nearby allies that it can active one at a time Enforcer unit Replaces the heavy droid with two melee units Fanatic unit Has low damage and explodes upon death Mage unit Has higher damage than the archer but less range Paladin unit Has a random chance of blocking a small amount of damage -Completely reworked the Networking -Added new map Ireland -Replaced heavy infantry promotions with an activatable aoe buff -Buffed tanks HP to 5500 -Added selectable alternate units to each army -Increased Performance -Added the stats of units to the army selection -Added shadows to the menu -Minor UI changes in menu and in-game -Engine update -Added a togglable ping display -Tons of minor improvements -Added a max population -Made boats loading and unloading more consistent -Reworked all the WW2 army skinsPatch 2.3 is out!May 10, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, in this update we've got quite a bunch of nice balance changes and Quality of Life improvements you guys have been asking for. Here's the patch notes: -Completely reworked the tech tree -Fixed menu armies’ weapons rotation -Increased tanks base hp and dmg by 400 and 20 respectively -Decreased hp and dmg of heavy infantry to 720 and 35 -Made some smaller changes to the level portraits borders -Fixed the Royal Guard trucks scaling -Increased mortars damage from 20 to 25 -Increased archers damage from 14 to 20 -Reaching rank 1 didn’t unlock the Grand emporer border automatically -Make the leaderboard show in pages -Fixed mortars in the tutorial would start in a t-pose -Reduced the time it takes to connect to a match by 20 seconds -Added a select all banners button -Added timestamps to chat -Added a servertime in the global chat Patch 2.2 is live!Apr 3, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsSo we've got something nice for you guys in this update that we've seen quite the request for!

This is something we have considered for some time and we felt now the game is in a good state and we want more people to enjoy what we've spent 2½ years developing. It is no secret the game never achieved a large enough audience to reach even close to the potential we feel the multiplayer has, hopefully going free to play will bring in that audience. We also want to thank everyone that has supported and bought the game through these years, and we don't feel it would be fair if free players gained access to everything the people that paid for it has. So here's how we're going to do it: The base game will become free, and we're going to release a DLC named "Definitive Edition" which will have the same pricing and feature all the current content we're having now. The Free-to-play will feature the following: Unlimited access to the Matchmaking Will be able to join custom games Will be able to gain DG (Dimensional Gold) to unlock skins etc. The Definitive Edition will feature the following: Singleplayer Campaign Hosting of custom games Map Editor Higher DG rewards (Same as now, Free-to-play will be lowered) All owners of the game before it becomes free will be gifted the Definitive Edition. At last we really want to hear your thoughts and hopefully help us spread the word so we can get a large audience to have some epic Multiplayer battles!Patch 2.0 is out!Mar 6, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://media.giphy.com/media/69kTKnb8BPW8ehkQGx/giphy.gif Hello once again, this time we've got quite the amount of new things for you! -Implemented a new account levelling system -Reworked selection circles and healthbars -Added projectiles for the Modern and Sci-fi armies -Redid tank destruction -Multiple towers selected will now show in the main panel -Added a portrait for banners -Added snow option to the map editor -Reworked Grand Emperor loading frame -Reworked Royal Guard Loading portraits -Reworked Post game screen -Optimized performance -Added post processing options for the map editor -Regions owned and income text will now update instantly -Towers will now be selected when dragging the select tool if no units are nearby -Reworked the DG rewards to be more dynamic -Added a border to Japan -Fixed a bug that boats could be tower controllers -Campaign will now show post game screen and grant account XP -Changed buttons in the campaign dialogues -Changed UI backgrounds in the menu -Fixed that units on boats in Japan wouldn't die when the boats sunk -Added on-hit sounds for various units -Fixed that it wasn't posible to cross a bridge in chapter 5 -Removed a couple of obsolete regions in chapter 5 -Playercount should now update properly in the custom game list Follow up patch 12-03-2019 -Fixed banners suddenly missing a texture in some campaign cutscenes -Fixed some minor problem with boat animations -Portraits should now be shown correctly for all towers and banners -Fixed a critical bug between players and the server that sometimes it wouldn't load networked units properly
