Update 47 - Milestone Update & Renaissance KW

Hello Everyone,

We're thrilled to share another significant update with you today, along with some exciting news:

Anticipating Big Changes

As you may have heard, we've recently introduced our latest game, Renaissance Kingdom Wars. Completely redesigned from the ground up, it stands as our most extensive and ambitious title to date. Set in the 16th-17th centuries, the game delves into early gunpowder warfare and scalable gameplay. Assume the role of a landless mercenary captain, plotting your way to the crown.

There`s a lot of very exciting tech and improvements going into Renaissance Kingdom Wars and over the next few months, we'll be integrating some of these enhancements into Medieval Kingdom Wars. This means you can anticipate significant monthly or even bi-weekly updates, enhancing KW4 with gameplay refinements, UI enhancements, improved performance, and visual upgrades.

The latest update introduces the initial steps toward incorporating this new technology into Medieval Kingdom Wars.
