Repeated intro

Greetings Knights, First, we would like to thank everyone who checked out the game, gave us feedback, left a review, downloaded and played the game. We are now currently featured in the Steam Summer Sale frontpage. As a student project, this is a huge milestone for us and it would not have been possible without all of you! With this update we are bringing a lot of improvement to the game and a new shiny Game Mode for you to enjoy: Challenge Maps! Challenge Maps consist in a series of different scenarios with different characteristics: in some of them you can freely build your Castle without worrying about the Golden Horde, in other ones the Golden Horde will get even more aggressive than in Hard difficulty. Some of these maps are still experimental, let us know what you think about them and which ones are your favorite, we are all ears! We heard your feedback about Endless. We smoothened the difficulty curve along the entire experience.
