Hello there,

We have worked hard for last 3 months to release this add-on. We didn't make all we wanted but we couldn't postpone release anymore. So we released Astral Voyage add-on in kind of Early Access state. Please keep it in mind purchasing the game. We will finish add-on main story in 4-6 weeks and we will keep improving it. Buy the DLC now if you want to support us, developers of Warstone.

Originally we planned to make Tower Power Pack. We wanted to add just new towers. That's all. Yeah, it is only 15% from what we are going to add. We decided to do it because we wanted to complete the main story about Nechai. Also a lot of players asked to make another chapter. It helped us to make a decision to make the add-on completed.

It is the reason why it took so much time. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully, you will enjoy it a lot how you did playing original Warstone.

We want to say thanks to all players who helped us to make this add-on alive by playing, testing, sharing thoughts, advising and writing reviews. It couldn't be done without you!

• 4 missions in astral setting. They look more diverse than missions from original campaign.
  
• 19 new enemies with absolutely new abilities and parameters. Prepare to look for new strategies to pass levels.
  
• Continuation of Nechai story. It means there are a lot of quests with rewards. Also we added 14 comics for the first part of the story. Our artist`s skills have been improved for last 2 years, so comics should look awesome.
  
• New towers. You will get access to Monk (Level 3 melee tower) with ability to make combo strikes and deal an extra damage which depends on max enemy health. Predator (Level 3 archer tower) has an ability to attack all targets simultaneously in the area. Also, it reduces their magic resistance. Sorcerer is Level 3 Magic Tower. She applies amplification ability with each attack. It increases incoming damage. Finally, new Level 3 Siege tower Cannoneer has a huge level of damage and Blast wave ability which stuns all nearby enemies for a short period of time . More towers will appear in the next update.
  
• Magic Academy Level 3. Improve power of your favorite spells
  
• Owl of Wisdom is a new building which increases max level from 60 to 99 and also rewards with some skill points. A lot of players asked for it.
  
• Ancient runes II increases experience gathering for extra 50%
  
• Tavern is a new building which increases damage of ALL towers by 5% for each level of building. Only level 1 is available now

• The last 4 missions of the add-on.
  
• Remaining 6 towers. Level 4 of Melee, Archer, Siege and Magic towers and Level 3 & 4 of Elemental tower.
  
• The end of the story with 15 new comics
  
• 4 PvP towers. Level 3 & 4 of Eagle and Wolf towers. Also we will add PvP option for other DLC towers
  
• Challenge and Survival modes for 8 new maps
  
• Localisation to other 8 languages
  
• Sound effects for towers, units and new buildings
  
• Mithril abilities for all Level 4 towers

Surely, all those things we will add to the game. Another content depends on your activity!

Hello there,
The update is the last one before the release of the DLC. The preparation has been already done. So DLC comes in 7-10 days.

All players who meet requirements should get new quests and buildings. Buildings will be available for construction when DLC releases.

• Players who passed The Dark Forest missions should get new dialogue with the old mage which leads to "Key to Astral" quest and give "Ore Samples" building.
  
• Players who have Magic Runes II on Tree of Life should get "Ancient Runes II" building and "Spell of greater experience" quest .
  
• Players who have Book of Arcane Knowledge building should get "Call of the spirit" quest and "Spirit of Wisdom" building.
  
• We added new colorful banner for people who doesn't have DLC and click on the Chapter 2 button.

There will be only English and Russian texts for all new DLC stuff for first few weeks.


Finally, we can tell a few words about DLC. It will be called Astral Voyage. Originally we planned just add new towers and some cool features, but we decided to finish Nechai story. It is the reason why it takes so long. Astral Voyage is kinda Chapter 2. There will be a story with comics, quests, dialogues. There will be 33 new enemies. It is more than original game has. 8 new maps in new setting. So, it should be fun. We hope at least. It will cost only 7.99$.

We decided to release DLC in unfinished state, because we have already failed all deadlines. At start there will be available only 4 of 8 missions, no challenge and survival modes. DLC will be available with English and Russian languages only. We plan to add another 4 missions in 1 month, complete challenge and survival mods in 2 months, add other 8 languages in 2-3 months.

So, DLC is unfinished, you are aware, please buy it only in case if you are OK with it and want to support us. We fulfill our promises. The game will be finished.


We were forced to change characteristics of certain towers because 10 new towers will be added in DLC. They affect gameplay significantly.

We made melee units stronger, especially Level 4 melee units. Also we made the, more expensive to compare with Elemental towers Level 3 & 4. Price and damage of Valkyrie and Ninja were also raised a little. Price of Bombardiers was reduced significantly, we hope it makes this unit more popular.

Finally, we were forced to make Elemental towers cheaper and weaker, because Elemental towers 3 would be disproportionately expensive. For example, Old Inquisitor cost 180 in total when Warrior Elemental cost 300. If we don't change anything, Elemental Level 4 would cost 5 strongest melee units. It is not great.

• Damage of Knight was increased by 2-7
  
• Damage of Witcher was increased by 1-2
  
• Damage of Shieldmaiden was increased by 0-3
  
• Base/final price of Knight Templar was increased from 100/90 to 165/155. Base/final attack damage was increased from 38-52 / 57-71 to 66-82 / 85-101
  
• Base/final price of Inquisitor was increased from 85/75 to 145/135. Base/final attack damage was increased from 23-27 / 32-35 to 42-47 / 51-55
  
• Base/final price of Valkyrie was increased from 135/125 to 160/150. Base/final attack damage was increased from 25-37 / 35-47 to 32-47 / 42-57
  
• Base/final price of Ninja was increased from 105/95 to 135/125. Base/final attack damage was increased from 17-21 / 20-23 to 20-23 / 23-25
  
• Price of Bombardiers was decreased by 15 from 75/65 to 60/50
  
• Price of Spirit Elemental was decreased from 125 to 75. Base/final attack damage was deacreased from 35-55 / 45-65 to 20-30 / 30-40. Attack range was decreased by 50.
  
• Base/final price of Warrior Elemental Spirit was decreased from 190/175 to 115/100. Base/final attack damage was deacreased from 65-115 / 75-125 to 45-65 / 55-75. Attack range was decreased by 50.

• We updated Mac build
  
• Fixed the bug with star counter
  
• Totem of mithril and stone of teleportation are now work properly. They give resources

Hey all,
It was a long time since we posted something.

This update is a tech update. It offers nothing new, but fixes a lot of things. Also it is the first uploading of the game for almost a year, so we need to be sure it works fine before we give access to DLC. We temporarily added development console, so we can find all new and old bugs asap. Thanks for playing and helping us.

• Resource amount from gathering buildings was increased. Gathering time was increased as well. For example it took 6 hours of battle time for mithril and 2 hours for gold, now it requires 2,5 hours for getting mithril and just 40 minutes to get gold. It should help. Also, we want to notice that gathering depends on battle time (time spent playing battles), not real time.
  
• Mana cost of all magic upgrades was reduced. Mana cost of Earth and Water schools was reduced by half.
  
• The building in the city now play a sound if you click on it to read comics. It adds greater involvment in the story.
  
• Main menu of the game was dramatically visually improved.
  
• We added a special icon for PvP upgrades, so players wouldn't worry about getting them and thinking they are forced to play co-op missions.
  
• A lot of UI improvements.
  
• Fixed a bug when dialogue windows blinked while reading them.
  
• Fixed visual bugs of moon well. It was shown filled when it was empty sometimes.

Guys, you can help us a lot. If you see development console with red errors, it means you found a bug. You can help us great, if you click on Open file and send output_log file to euler@battlecruiser.ruwith a small explanation when the bug happens. We will fix all found bugs as soon as possible.

Hello there,

It was long time since we posted any info about Warstone because we were extremely busy with Age of Defense. We have some good news. We have been considering an option to change our plans, so we returned to the idea of DLC with Chapter 2. We need your to hear your expectaions and your opinion. Let me tell what we have now.

Artist has drawn all towers.

• Monk Lvl 3 & Lvl 4. Extra upgrade of merceneries
  
• Demonesses. Extra upgrade of huntresses.
  
• Bombardier Lvl 3 & Lvl 4. Upgrade of Snipers
  
• Goddess Lvl 3 & Lvl 4. Upgrade of Priestesses
  
• Astral Eagles Lvl 3 & Lvl 4. Upgrade of Eagles
  
• Rocket Wolves. Upgrades of Armored wolves
  
• Plasma Elementals Lvl 3 & Lvl 4. Upgrade of Elemental Warriors

So most of 14 new towers add Level 3 & 4 upgrades for towers who don't have them. It should open a lot of new tactics. Rifleman weren't popular becauase they took place of 1 stone where you spend 150 gold maximum at this. So using elemantals were more profitable in most cases. Lvl 4 rifleman wil lcost much more, Lvl4 of Elemental gonna be a ultimate weapon. Other units get several featrues. For example Demonesses damage units in area around here and Monk can do devastating damage at single targets.

Also, we have all new buildings for the city drawn. So we can add them easily. We also modelled 6 new missions in astral setting. As we said Chapter 2 is half done. But we don't have enemies (we need about 20 different models for enemies), comics (they take a lot of time to draw them) and approved storyline (dependences of battles/quests/new content. When a quest unlock maps, the map gives another quest and etc).
So we can't make Chapter 2 alive fast.



We have several options what we can do:

1. Release DLC as a pack of towers. We will add all 14 new towers. Increase max lvl of the player from 61 to 99 or 125 (a lot of people asked for it) and probably add another hard difficulty setting. That all is kinda easy to implement in the game. Can be done in several weeks. It will cost about 5$.
   
2. Release Chapter 2 in unfinished State. We will add 3-5 maps with new enemies, buildings, quests and etc. The rest of Chapter will be locked. We will add new content every 2-4 weeks. It will look like Early access of Chapter. Like we did with Warstone in EA when we started with 8 missions only and added 1 new missions with each new patch. So Chapter 2 will be done in a couple of months. Only English language during will be implemeted the development. We value this option as 10$.
   
3. Do nothing now. Wait until release of Age of Defense and start full development of the DLC. It postpones Chapter even more further. Probably it will be never be released.

So, summarazing it. Release complete Chapter II when it is ready look unpromising. We kinda afraid we can spend a lot of time on this DLC and only a few players will buy it. Option to release a tower pack seem easy to implement, but it doesnt fit our plans to leave a story unfinished. Early Access of Chapter II looks great for us. But we need to be sure our players will be ready to support us during development.

Let's have a talk.

Hello dear players,

We worked a lot and proud to present our new game, Age of Defense. We wanted to make the game different from Warstone. It is in 2D with a lot of colorful animations. The story contains animated cinematics instead of comics. There are more enemies with diverse abilities. In other hand, the game is more casual but anyway it should be fun on hard difficulty.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/603320/Age_of_Defense/

The game is in deep Beta state, but we would happy if you play it and give us your feedback. We promise to work hard on the game. It evolves in 2 months significantly.

Stay with us,

Hello there,

It were a tough year since the release of the game. We spent about 9 months for bringing the game to completely stable version. We didn't receive bug reports for 3 months. So, it seems Warstone is a bug free now!

Also we added a lot of new missions, especially co-op ones. Added last challenge and survival modes. There are 120 game missions in total in the game now.

It is a huge amount of work we put in it for this year. We are not going to stop. New game, Age of Defense, is about to be released soon. DLC with Chapter 2 for Warstone is on a way.

We want to celebrate it with you by giving the highest discount we ever set.
Thanks to all our players!

Stay with us,

Hello there,

This is the last update with new content. We added 3 new missions, survival modes of Olympus, Canyon, Climbing missions. They are very hard. You need find high level mates if you want to beat them.

We made some other minor changes. Power of Water now gives extra duration instead of making slow stronger. Also the difficulty of first story PvP map was reduced.

We fixed all bugs which we found or players reported, so if you see anything, please let us know in the forum. We will fix them and upload a patch. For now, the game works stable.

We are still considering an idea to move the game to full offline version. Also we have a lot of finished art, units, animations for Chapter 2. But we need to release our next game first.

Thanks for being with us these 2 years. You helped us make the game awesome!

Hello there,

It were a long time since the last update, so we added more new maps as usual.

First of all, we added Challenge mode of Climbing missions where you stand against human units. They have PvP abilities, so it's kinda new experience.



Secondly, we added 2 new co-op missions, Canyon and Olimp. The first onee has a large road (like in Old School Map). Also, the game mechanics of the level is different. There is a lot of troll units but they don't take lives, but human units take. You can't kill all of them, so you need to find a way to kill all human. Pretty funny map.

Thirdly, Olimp is the biggest map in the game. There are 3 roads where enemies come from. Each road has unique setup of units. Also, there is Ice Crystal from Valley missions. The mission is very hard, but we think veterans will like it very much.



We fixed an issue with no getting Glory and PvP points. So, now you should be able to get all maps from Hot Air Balloon. Also, we fixed a bug when some players could play only story mode of new co-op maps.

We made some changes in the rating. It didn't score result of co-op battles We recalculated score of all players. It should show proper data now. We are going to fix all issues with the rating in the next update.

The good news for owners of 4k monitors. The size of text bubbles is increasing depend on Screen resolution.
