Hello friends and welcome to the 28th DevDiary for “Knights of Honor II: Sovereign”! We cannot hide that talking about the tactical battles in KoH2:S is quite exciting and a little scary for us, as this is one of the features that was (and is) hardest to develop. We know that many of you wanted to see it earlier and we are thankful for your patience.
Survivors, we hope your shelters and fellow inhabitants are enduring...
We're pleased to confirm that Patch 1.2.14 is live! Below is the list of changes. Thank you for your continued feedback and support whilst we work to enhance Sheltered 2!
