Medieval Dynasty - SwordsOfTheSouth
Welcome Village Leaders,

For the last few months, we’ve been tucked away working on Medieval Dynasty and making the game better, more optimized, and with new content. Correcting errors, squashing bugs, optimizing, they’re all-important parts of the Early Access phase. Deep inside though, we know it’s the new additions to the game that you are most looking forward to! So, let’s not keep you waiting and let us show you what we'll be adding to the game in an upcoming update!

First up, let’s talk about the important thing in life. No, it’s not a large village, kilos of gold, or a donkey (although that donkey does come close). We’re talking here about love. It’s hard to imagine building a dynasty without a significant other. But you have to bring your flirting a-game to conquer hearts in the Middle Ages. Winning the heart of your chosen future bride is not an easy task. Many brave men have fallen in this intricate battle of words and gestures. In Medieval Dynasty flirting will soon be more elaborate.

In the next update, we will add four types of personalities to NPCs. The correct recognition of their personality will allow you to choose better flirting options, and at the same time, it will lower the chance of a negative reaction. Flirting is a complicated art form that will soon be available to you. You will find a few new interactions to use: a compliment, a joke, a fun fact, a gossip, or you can use the power of poetry to attract your lady. As you gain more experience in this field, a higher Affection level will be unlocked, giving you more romantic options to use.

If you feel that your words are not enough to win the heart of your chosen one, you can also improve your chances of romance by giving her a gift. Just remember that you can only give one gift per season. And not everyone will like the same presents, so gift wisely. You will find these gifts at special vendors that will appear in random neighbour taverns in different seasons.
Once you are successful and your chosen lady finally becomes your wife, new opportunities will arise. However, we will leave that for you to discover.


Flirting - a delicate battle for the heart of the chosen one.

Shops and Vendors are one of the new features that will be added with the next update. Soon you will be able to set up your own stalls and you will decide what to sell in them. There are many available options for you: baked goods, clothes, tools, weapons, and many more. All you have to do is build a shop and assign a resident to be the shopkeeper. This is a great way to make more money. Assign a villager, sell your goods, and while people are buying your goods, you can do something more useful (or not - you’re the boss).



Your own shop - here with resources…



… and here weapons and tools.

And very quickly, expect some new animals in the wild (was that a lynx that just ran past!?!) and a wooden crossbow. But we will tell you more about this the next time we meet.

That’s it from us! It was supposed to be a short glimpse after all, but it turned into a bit of a full-blown peek! Let us know what you think of these new features in the comments below. And as always, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and our Discord channels (who knows what goodies are hiding in those channels!). Stay tuned - we will reveal even more info soon.


Until next time,

Toplitz Productions and Render Cube Teams

Hello Village Leaders,

The time has come! The update is here! Here is the next Medieval Dynasty Roadmap Major Update. This time, we’ve added new resources, new tools and activities, a hairy new companion, and a whole lot of fixes and optimizations. Let’s take a look at all the additions in more detail.

It’s hard to imagine the growth of a community without proper resources. From now on in addition to iron, now you can also dig copper and tin. You will find copper and tin in caves, and these deposits are easy to reach. To find iron though, you have to dig a little bit deeper, into the caves themselves. To get access to their depths, you will need to build mines. Down below is the home to the valuable iron ore.


Just a few more hits, and we’ll be there.

After collecting those precious ores, you, or your people, can take them back to your village smithy. The blacksmith will smelt the raw tin and copper ores into tin and copper bars, which you can then combine and create the coveted bronze bars. Iron is a simpler process - you can convert iron ores straight into iron bars. Use these valuable bars to create a whole new range of copper and bronze tools and weapons, such as hammers, sickles, knives, bolts, arrows and more.

As you can see there is a whole new underground world with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by you.

We also added a new model of transportation - a donkey. He is slower than your old friend, the trusty horse, but he can carry more stuff than his bigger cousin. And he’s also cheaper. The perfect value-for-money companion.


Your new steed, sire!

But that’s not all that you will get in this update. Take some time off from your everyday tasks, venture out, and visit Tutki. This is the place you can find and buy a donkey. We have also added a whole lot of fixes and other updates too. One of them is a change in buying and selling prices. From now on all selling prices will be higher and buying prices will be lower. See the changelog for all the details. And one last thing! From now on all our Dutch, Chinese, and Swedish fans can enjoy their medieval experience in their own languages.

Let us know what you think about this Major update below. Write down your thoughts in the comments section. What is the first thing you will do in the new update? We’re curious to hear your answers. And as always, don’t be shy, stay in touch, and follow us on our Social Media Channels.


All the best,

Your Toplitz Productions and Render Cube Teams
