Update 1.3 - "We Are Back" is Live!



Dear Players,

We are happy to say that we are back to Kingdom Wars 1, with what we hope will be small but regular updates for months to come.

As we continue work on the main game engine update, that we hope to figure out by mid September, we have plans for the next three smaller updates that will introduce a lot of art updates, gameplay balancing, fixing exploits, and introducing minor new features.

In addition we`ll be running few promotions during the next 30 days aiming to increase the player population. We`ll also be releasing couple of DLCs - Starter Pack and All Access DLC, that will help us bring more players, as well as allow us to dedicate more resources to KW1.

And so introducing update 1.3. This is the update that you`ll "see" right away as you load your homeland. Here`s detailed list of features:

-Greatly increased visual quality of terrain textures
-If player on purpose disconnects during the battle it`ll count as a loss
-Reworked all summer and winter terrain textures
-New look for in-game trees with higher quality textures
-New art for grass, cliffs and other vegetation
-Updated main menu to show News, Invite, KW2B promo
-Added swear words filter, swear words replaced with funny words
-Expanded Moderator Tools to manage Chat Bans and Player Bans
-Worker units are up to 40% better at fighting and surviving attacks


Moving forward we`ll be creating couple of new posts to get more feedback from you regarding what you think we should concentrate on for the upcoming updates...

Update 1.3 Next Week!



Dear Players,

After continuous delays we have finally made some progress and getting ready to release update 1.3 next week.

Update will come in two parts, one updating the game content with balancing changes, fixing exploits - like disconnecting to avoid losses, and improving game visuals by including some new textures - specifically the game terrain. We expect update 1.3 A to be live by Tuesday the 16th.

On Wednesday the 17th we plan to release networking update for the engine (same update that caused some problems in the past). This update will come with a 24 hour testing period on live, during which we might be rolling back progress, if we encounter any issues with the update. If successful update 1.3 B will greatly improve multiplayer performance and overall stability of the game.

We`ll keep you update with more details as we conclude work on this update.

About This Game

Kingdom Wars is a free to play 3D MMORTS with real-time siege combat, without the pay to win element so common in the genre. Having evolved from Dawn of Fantasy: Kingdom Wars this strategy game offers lively online world, where players gather resources, construct majestic towns, and impregnable strongholds, direct citizens, complete quests in the service of mighty nobles and fiendish rogues, and eventually manage a global empire. All within an online realm that grows, works, lives, and breathes even when you log off. All this in glorious 3d world with stunning level of detail and epic scale - with vibrant towns and thousand strong armies. And of-course let’s not forget the glorious siege battles all in real-time! Developed by Reverie World Studios, Kingdom Wars is the result of several years of hard work by a new Toronto based studio, with members all over the world.

Features

Innovative MMORTS Approach
  • Wage war with neighboring regions or complete countless hours of quests as you unveil the dark secrets of Terria while managing a persistent kingdom and economy with thousands of other players. Socialize, trade, forge alliances and - best of all - battle against other players across the world, defeat their armies, and burn their towns!
Not Pay to Win
  • With Kingdom Wars free to play release our goal was to create a game of skill, not bigger wallets. We have followed player suggestions and tried to avoid the common pay2win traps. In Kingdom Wars majority of micro-transaction only effect cosmetic changes or unlock bonus content, that does not effect game progress and player interaction. All the other options are limited to one time use, to prevent anyone gaining unfair advantage.
Multiple Games Modes
  • Two additional singleplayer modes - including open-ended Campaign mode, and content-packed single-player Skirmish mode with both Lay Siege and Castle Defense maps - guaranteed to satisfy players of various tastes and gameplay styles.
Stunning Siege Combat
  • User-friendly Siege-oriented gameplay adds a whole new dimension to the battlefield as you ram the enemy gate, scale the walls, and place automated defensive systems, such as: stone tippers, boiling oil, and wall-mounted catapults.
Three Distinct Races & Styles of Gameplay
  • Kingdom Wars features three distinct civilizations: Elves, Orcs and Men, presenting a unique approach to these iconic races with three distinct styles of gameplay. Each race is complete with its own lore, language, world region and terrain, dozens of distinct units and buildings, hundreds of unique technologies, and each even has a different approach to economy and building style.
Fully 3D Dynamic World Map
  • Travel the MMORTS world using a beautifully-designed 3D World Map featuring scale replicas of all the NPC strongholds, quest areas, and the player's homeland.
Original Base Building Approach
  • Each player’s Stronghold features hundreds of buildings that look and behave like a City-Simulation game, but without any micro-management, giving the player more time to spend on the battlefield. In addition each race offers a different approach to building strongholds.
Complex Economic Model with Corpse Looting
  • Combines the complexity of nearly a dozen gathering possibilities, different for each race, with automated simplicity, allowing players the options to micromanage their economy, or leave it to run itself in times of war.
Realistic Weather and Season Change
  • The gaming world comes alive as you build and battle during winter or summer months, as you push your armies through heavy rain or snow storms. Your economy significantly changes from summer to winter, when different strategic options are available during different times of day and severe weather makes certain units useless.

Well personaly i found that the bugs runed it for me, yes there is decent gameplay, but there is more.

How anoying can these bugs be? let me give you example. i was raiding a NPC castle. a few units were sent to deal with the artchers on the wall. NORMALY they dont stand a chance, untill a stone tripper (a wall defence ment to drop stones of foes) turns around and beats the S### out of my units, understand, it should only hit you onece, and not on the walls, it has one ammo which means one attack, but no with its high health and its massive 500 DMG it just slaugter. and the exploits well there there. one time i had a invasion in my castle. his troops simply went through the gap between the tower and the wall. perfectly intact building, he just had to wiggle makeing it that mutch harder.

PVP? well the cooldown\grace timer you get is great, but the matchmakeing can be terrable. i was just walking around and in normal settings only battles may take place between armies 20% weaker or stronger. ond the other option is be be risky and take a risk of fighting a army 50% biger (but not smaller). i got attacked (not wanting to fight) with a massive and overpowerd army. RIP everything. and then the game crashes occatonly in any instance of units fighting, particurly in missions. trust me almost beating a 1 hour map and haveing it crash, its infuriateig. and one day you may log on and your kingdome is erased, poof gone. that has heppent to me once.

in the end if your gonna play this prepare to deal with a buggy mess.

I would definitely recommend you try Kingdom Wars if you love a great medieval rts game. Build massive alliances and armies to conquer and control the world map by siege and vassal as well as coop and pvp options. You are able to choose from several different races and traits with the option to build cities in many different regions on the world map. The game community is very helpful with questions and resources until you are able to build a strong economy in your home city, (the best game community I have had the pleasure of playing with). Although Kingdom Wars has a few minor bugs nothing major, the dedicated team of developers are always fast to respond to keep the game running smoothly. Thank you for the great game Reverie World Studios.

MUST READ BEFORE YOU PLAY:

There are a few things i think people should know about before playing this game.I bought kingdom wars before it was a f2p game and have had two maxed out citys with high lvl hero's and have spent money on the game beyond just buying it pre f2p.This is my honest review about what i know of the game.

BUGS! Be prepared to lose resorces for winning pvp matches.That's right you lose for winning! If a person trys to fight you and you accept and then he pays you to flee battle you get a win and maybe a little gold from the payout BUT you will lose 5k food 5k wood and 5k stone from your towns resorce stash which varries depending on what your stash has in it but that was my last loss to this bug. Not only do you lose for winning a pvp match in this manner you don't recieve the crowns for the win that you are supposed to get for winning.The only way to avoid this bug is to fight until the game tells you you won or lost.

BUGS! That's right more bugs.This one however is in your favor.When creating troops to build an army some times you will dupe extra units.

BUGS! Your city is full of small bugs that are annoying at times but minor and not worth more then a mention that thay are there.

THE MOTHER OF ALL BUGS! This is a big one in my opinion! Be prepared to lose it all! That's right and not because you can be captured or destroyed by another player but because everytime the dev's change the game some people not all but at random get a full wipe including your account like you never exisited in the first place. The money you spent "poof gone" the time you spent "poof gone". I know this first hand as both my maxed out city's got wiped and in return i didn't even get a response from the support team. After the first time i said "ok i haven't played in a wile no big deal i lost my stuff" and i moved on rebuilt spent money on the starter packs and was back on top in a few weeks and that's when the dev's changed the game again and i lost it all again.Sense the game came out pre f2p i have put about 60$ into the game and 288 hours which i wish at this point i had not but if you don't mind losing it all and spending money and time on a game so that a bug can rob you in the end then this game is for you!

There are some cool things about kingdom wars but the amount of bugs makes the amount of cool things not worth the mention as the bugs destroy the enjoyment all together.The dev's don't really care about the game the bugs have been there forever and have never been fixed the team took what was supposed to be an update to kingdom wars and made it a stand alone game "kingdom wars 2: battles" which is the same game with a cuple added fetures.The team only did this to pump more money out of people instead of fixing and updating the game they had already created "Kingdom wars" leaving KW broken and a waste of time and money.

In the end i can't say i recommend any games from this team as they don't put any real care into the games they create beyond publishing bug filled crap they have no intention to fix.
