Demo Update 28.11.2025 | Horses Are Here!

I’m happy to announce that today the demo version of Mainland is receiving a major new update that adds horses!

This significantly improves the gameplay experience and adds more options for combat.

5 horses with different stats and prices have been added to cities, and the 2 existing factions each receive 2 mounted units in their unit progression trees.

And of course, here is the list of other changes and improvements:

• Improved performance on the global map. Up to +50% FPS is expected.

• Archers have been nerfed in terms of attack speed.

• Units now recognize when they are being targeted and will try to defend themselves with shields (which additionally nerfs archers).

• Units now have more noticeable clothing colors. For now, the colors are simply green/red; in the future, I will add the actual faction colors.

And a bunch of additional fixes and minor tweaks that I honestly no longer remember in detail 🙂

Additional news:

This is likely the last major update for the public beta version. Going forward, a closed beta test can be expected.

I will share more details about it here and on the Discord channel.
