After a lengthy discussion we have decided to release the Hero Unit feature as a separate update or free DLC after the full release of the game instead of as an update during early access/game preview.
The reason for doing this is that we would like to do more with the Hero Unit than we initially planned which would require more time to work on it.
Another option would be to postpone the release of TABS in order to implement the new Hero Unit features but that would also delay other awaited features as well as the release on PS4 and The Switch. This would also mean having to cut some of the planned things for the Hero Unit and making it less fun. We’d rather just postpone the release of the Hero Unit and work on making it as good as possible instead of rushing it or delaying the release of other features.
We understand that this may be disappointing but we hope you will enjoy the Hero Unit, even more, when we can release it with more features and more fine-tuning.
The release of TABS is still planned for PC, Mac, and Xbox during late Q3 (August-September ) this year.
Thank you for your patience while we're fixing bugs, here's the second patch to fix some of the custom content bugs, etc.
Bug fixes:
Fixed issues with Lasso and Jester units
Fixed some issues regarding custom content not showing correctly
Features:
Added map name/battle name in placement mode
We know some of you are unable to launch the game due to it detecting a controller, fixing an option to switch between them will take some time so in the meantime please do the following:
If you have any controllers or other USB devices (like a racing wheel or a joystick) plugged in, please try to unplug it and start the game with only mouse and keyboard.
This issue can also be caused by software that emulates inputs, for example, something that lets you remap or change key bindings outside of games. Vjoy is known to cause this issue. Please try to uninstall any programs like this and see if that solves the issue.
Remember to restart steam and verify the integrity of the game files.
Some of you might have noticed the big empty sign on the Wild West map, of course, the town needs to have a name.
Submit your name suggestion through this google form - we will pick the ones we like the best and poll the community for the one you like the best on our twitter. You can submit your suggestion until the 5th of June and the chance to vote will come shortly after :)
We're sorry to say that we have found some last-minute game-breaking bugs that will make it impossible for us to release the new TABS update this week.
We're terribly sorry about this, we cannot release an update that is unplayable but what we will do this week is to release the trailer for the update! Enjoy!
Thank you again for your patience! :)
What is causing the delay?
QA found some last-minute game-breaking bugs that make the update unplayable.
When will the update be out?
As soon as we've fixed the bugs, we don't have an estimate of when they will be fixed but we are working hard to do so.
Why can't you release the update without the bugs/new UI or create a beta?
If we could do that, we would, we need to fix the bugs in order to release the update.
- Western faction - Western map - Western campaign with a few Win Condition levels - New secret units - Full controller support - New custom content workflow - Win Conditions - Updates to UI design - Added gamepad icons in UI
Heya! We hope you all are safe and healthy en enjoyed the bug DLC :)

Secret units
Win conditions
Full controller support

Hello Everyone! Here’s a little update from us developers.
We’re currently all working from home as the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting Sweden and Germany harder than expected. Currently, most of the team are healthy but some of us are sick. We’re doing our best to not let it affect our update schedule - that said we cannot say if it will cause some delays further down the road. If so, we’ll keep you posted.
The next update will most likely be in April, we have some very exciting stuff that we can’t wait for you to play! :D The reason we haven’t released any dev-clips or info about the coming updates lately is that we have a lot of surprises in store for you, we think the wait and secrecy will be worth it, we hope you do too.
Stay safe out there, practise social distancing, wash your hands and show compassion for others!
