Freedom Games stands as one of the top indie publishers on Steam. This collaboration won't just rejuvenate Kingdom Wars 4; it will also provide us with the resources needed to continuously enhance and refine KW4. We're eager to unveil all the forthcoming updates, starting with today's 38th update. Update 38 Today's substantial milestone update brings numerous gameplay improvements! We've focused on enhancing quality of life, addressing various balancing issues and bugs, and refining AI, pathfinding, and various other aspects. Here's a closer look at what Update 38 has in store: Resolved various pathfinding and unit behavioral issues during sieges. Fixed a major issue with certain ranged units and siege auto-targeting citizens during town sieges. Redesigned auto-resolve features on the world map. Auto-resolve no longer removes zero-strength units. Weak units like peasants, chickens, and siege now almost always survive if the player's army wins auto-resolve. Fixed major issues with military units not leveling up in auto-resolve. Balancing improvement to world map army/strength – support and some siege units no longer contribute to strength. Enhanced visual effects on levels and the world map. FX now appears immediately when loading a new instance of the world map or levels. All cinematic text windows now have a proper background, making reading cinematic text easier. The space key no longer pauses the campaign map, as it was confusing players in the video. Major redesign of the RTS build-up and battle UI – it now displays all available units, buildings, and techs, but they are greyed out until researched. The Marshall/Military window now shows the name of the town instead of the region for attacked player assets. Palisade gatehouses in RTS are now clearly marked with flags for better visibility. Starting and newly created armies now move away from their spawn point, making them easier to find and select. Removed looted skull symbol from looted towns once they are no longer looted. Significant improvements to campaign AI across the board. Resolved all issues where players or AI couldn't invite armies into battle. World map AI now spawns fewer armies, but they are stronger. World Map AI – dual armies now consistently attack together. World Map AI now spawns double armies closer to each other. World Map AI will no longer deploy triple and quadruple armies. Increased invite range for multiple armies for both players and AI. Fixed numerous issues where armies or towns behaved oddly on the world map, such as towns and armies not correctly interacting.

It took us quite a bit of time, and a number of delays to get this DLC ready for our players as Kingdom Wars 4 game engine performance just wasn`t able to handle it, thus we had to take a detour and spend nearly half a year improving the games performance. But we are finally here – and can`t wait to share this DLC with you: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1377570/Kingdom_Wars_4__Dead_Rising/ In addition we are launching Sultans and Kings DLC – this DLC allows player to start the game as a King instead of a minor Lord, and get access to all late-game diplomacy features, commanding vassal and lords right from the start. It`s quite a different experience from the usual game.

We also focused on fixing last remaining bugs and balancing. In addition this update includes a lot of work on the Dead Rising DLC that is not currently enabled. For our next update we are bringing you Dead Rising DLC. With performance finally on a decent level after over a year long delay we can finally deliver on this. Though please keep in mind - to properly experience Dead Rising DLC you would need at least a mid-range system with SSD due to an extremely large number of undead that the game keeps track of and controls. We are expecting Dead Rising to launch next month. Meanwhile, lets take a closer look at what our 26th update includes: Added new Center View button to armies and towns under attack Center View button allows to center view on a selected army or town before battle Fixed some issues with campaign quest rewards not being given to player Rebalanced all campaign quest rewards – they are much higher now Various balancing improvements to world map AI Additional stability improvements – fixing last remaining crash bugs Reduced the use of visual memory by additional 30% Reworked diplomacy window - it doesn`t reload all the lord portraits Reworked various other windows - so they don`t reload unity portraits again and again Various other GUI improvements across the board Fixed some windows having scaling issues on 4k resolution Reworked cheat console window with a new look If player plays campaign with Plague disabled it will no longer show Plague icons on armies and towns Reworked cheat console with new codes that actually work Using cheat codes marks campaign as sandbox with no achievements gained or stats recorded from that campaign Improved the look of the chat window – better visibility and easier to use No infected icon in resource bar in RTS mode if plague is disabled No infected icon in resource bar on world map if plague is disabled In Skirmish/Co-Op Sieges menu, players set to "None" won't show a portrait Update 25 - Major Milestone UpdateJan 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone, We are happy to present a massive new updates that improves almost every area of the game. New new features, improvements, polish and balancing, and an additional game mode long requested by our players - playing "What if Plague never happened?" scenario. And yes - Undead Rising is right around the corner as well! This update also does wonders for performance and fixing last remaining game crashing issues. We have also added support for Portuguese language that has long been requested. And we also added various cheat codes both for campaign and skirmish. The changes include lots of GUI improvements, long-requested info popups with stats for the world map, a lot of balancing polish. On top of that we have redesigned the auto-resolve system, improve a lot of translations, and did a huge rebalance of both combat and world map gameplay and stats. Please keep in mind there will be a follow-up update by Monday, adding couple of very awesome new features and visual GUI improvements that weren`t ready in time for today`s update. And a note about Dead Rising DLC. Not sure if you`ve seen our other updates about it - but if not - the reason it was delayed so long is performance issues with Kingdom Wars 4. We spent months fixing these from August until this update, and glad to say that it`s finally resolved. So with this major roadblock out of the way I`ll be sure to rush the work on Undead Rising for February launch. Finally can share the good news that final obstacle has been removed. Also please let us know on the forums if your having any issues you would like for us to focus on, or have balancing or other suggestions.
