changedUpdated Demo FlowWe’ve significantly re-worked the demo flow, so that the gameplay is more evenly paced and so that you can see more of what the game has to offer more quickly.
addedNew Piece ControlsWe’ve moved some unlockable upgrades that were originally planned for later in the game to earlier so that they’re now part of the demo. These new controls are aimed at making moving pieces en masse easier.
addedWidescreen SupportWe’ve added support for widescreen displays, and also now allow window resizing if you want to play at a custom resolution.
changedPiece BalancingWe’ve revisited a wide range of piece attack values, health values, abilities, etc. to make pieces more varied and interesting, more appropriate for their place in the demo, and more interesting (particularly when promoting into the Royal Family).
addedPiece BalancingThere’s also a whole host of little QOL changes, bug fixes, and other improvements. Unfortunately, because of the significant reworking of the game flow, any previous game saves won’t work with the new version of the demo. We promise that even if you’ve played the demo before, there’s a few new things for you to see - so it’s well worth playing it through again!
