All out war has broken across chessland, now more than ever lies opportunity for new names to emerge. Stories to be told, and victors to emerge.

Added

  • New Piece: Tyrant, Moves/Captures like a queen, but will chain any pieces 1 orthogonally stopping them from moving or capturing

  • New Piece: Dwarf, Moves/Captures like a rook. But can bonk a piece 1 orthogonally pushing it away... yes even your own pieces straight into check

  • New titles: 1 for a certain challenge (brutalis), and another for beating all the challenges

Removed

  • Resolution options, (this is now replaced by Fullscreen or a resizable window)

  • Elo 1100 achievement from demo, I don't think this achievement was really adding any fun to the game

Changed

  • FPS is now capped by default to reduce start-up/background performance, GPU should now not go BRRRRRRRRRR

  • Forge points bar now goes red when over the limit

Fixed

  • Dragons fire breath using wrong shader / applying to wrong pieces

  • Some Elo calculations being wrong

  • Leaderboards not showing/updating

  • Fusefort explosion invisible

  • Dwarf being able to bonk any distance away

  • Able to promote pieces on own back rank (e.g. dwarf bonk pawn back)

  • Various issues with chaining

  • Base game showing as demo version
