We are happy to announce that we are making a Soulstone Survivors x Extremely Powerful Capybaras bundle on Steam! This is a result of our cooperation with the Studio Bravarda team, and we hope you will find a lot of fun playing both of the games!

This update introduces the Turkish Land Forces faction, a new set of emotes, and a new weapon skin system:

The Turkish Land Forces join Squad as a capable, Independent faction that fields strong infantry, and good vehicles. They boast a mix of domestically produced, Soviet, and Western equipment and although some of their vehicles are older, they make up for it with highly capable infantry. The infantry has access to an extra grenadier role, including one equipped with the MGL, a powerful semi-automatic grenade launcher, a raider role equipped with a modern submachine gun, and can field more light anti-tank weapons than other factions but lack a dedicated heavy anti-tank role.

  Known Issues
  • We are aware of an issue that allows players to “aim down sights” while equipped with a melee weapon. While we work on a fix for the issue, please be aware of this and consider it if you run into any issues while holding a melee weapon. Some features like the emote and interaction wheels are not accessible when aimed down sights, so keep that in mind.

  • Occasionally, a server that is not live may appear in the server browser. This is specific to servers that are running in a Windows environment and have been restarted recently. It resolves itself in a couple of minutes. The issue is not present when a server is run in a Linux environment.
    
  • When using DLSS with Frame Generation Enabled, the stat fps command will not show the correct FPS. This is due to how stat fps works by relying on the amount of frames being requested by the CPU. The Nvidia Overlay will show actual FPS. We have a fix for this slated for a future release.
  
  

To celebrate the launch of Wallaru, we’ve teamed up with Alienware to give away an m16 gaming laptop! 💻

Good luck!

To play the current challenge between December 12 and January 9, go to the main menu in-game and click on "Seven Seas - Challenge of the Month." Note that if you don't own any of the DLC featured in the challenge, you will be granted free trial access to it for use in the challenge so you don't miss out.

The second of these challenges, Seven Seas, is now live, and—based on feedback from the first challenge—can be attempted at either Prince or Emperor difficulty. We'll update this page with details on upcoming challenges as they become available.


CHALLENGE 2: SEVEN SEAS
The continents have been consumed by oceans. Civilizations persist, scattered across the mountainous islands that remain, but for some it will prove nigh impossible to thrive in this unfamiliar environment.

Playing as the Norwegian leader Harald Hardrada, you find yourself at an advantage. You've already explored most of the ocean, your Viking Longships are unrivaled in naval combat, and you have the unique ability to pillage your enemies' coastal tiles. During the Seven Seas challenge, played in Heroes & Legends mode, the victory condition you pursue is entirely up to you. That sea air sure smells like Domination, though!

[/url]Game Parameters
Mode: Heroes & Legends
Difficulty: Prince / Emperor
Speed: Standard
Player Leader: Hardrada (Konge)
Map Type: Island Plate
Map Size: Large
RuleSet: Gathering Storm
Start Era: Classical

Hey Brigadiers,



We wanted to drop in with a quick developer update before the holidays. If you've been around the Steam forums over the last few months, you probably saw mention that we're hard at work on a big update for 1.2.

We are happy to report that most of the changes targeted for 1.2 are complete, and we’re now working on stabilizing and polishing the experience. We were originally hoping to have it ready before the year was out, but we'd like a little more time to cook, so instead we're aiming for a release window in January.


Before we jump into the details, I just want to say that we’ve been giving some regular updates on our progress over in the Brace Yourself Games Discord. If you haven’t joined yet, we would love to see you there!


Now onto the juicy stuff! We took your feedback to heart and prioritized addressing one of the most common notes: combat variety. We’ve worked hard to improve on that front, making new locations, scenarios, and systems allowing for greater variety. Now that we’re in the polish stage, here’s an overview of what you can expect:

• New mission types attached to commonly encountered entities such as convoys, patrols, and military bases.
  
• New combat maps attached to commonly encountered location types.
  
• Streamlined contest mechanics preventing an indefinite raiding state and deprioritizing repetitive patrol encounters.
  
• New special encounters you'll need to complete to finish province liberation.
  
• By popular request, an ability to replay the last turn of combat encounters.
  
• Projectile prediction system helping you foresee and evade individual shots before they happen.
  
• A new way to upgrade your favorite equipment to a higher level.
  
• And more!

Thank you all so much for your patience, and happy holidays! We look forward to sharing more soon!


Uh oh, looks like the mobile base is in danger!

What is this large anomaly on the briefing map?

Yikes, that’s a lot of things to dodge.

Something looms in the distance.

Is that water? I wonder if that can help you cool off…

Take cover!

Hey Kitty Lovers!

Just chiming in here with important information from the other side of Monster Couch :D We're eggstremaly happy to announce that Wingspan: Oceania Expansion is now available!

UI
- intel projects UI will highlight projects you can sabotage
- Combat: update command panel when maneuver completes

AI
- AI will work harder to build armies when at war

Content
- new illustrations

Performance

Fixes
A
- Fix crash when negative weights are passed to SelectRandomWeightedItem. Responding to reported crash in AI tech selection.
- Fix a .107 crash when a destroyed hab is checked by AI goals to see if it's an appropriate building location. It's possible this was prevented somewhere between .108 and .115 and this is an additional safety check.

B
- fixed how math works in yearly-to-monthly calculation for economy hit from global warming
- SingleFleetOperation() : do not undock bombardment fleets from station unless fleet is actually at target location. This change prevents fleets from undocking (necessary for bombarding if you are already in an interface orbit) from their station simply because they have an bombardment goal - they must also be at the target space body, be in an interface orbit, and be ready to bombard.
- AI fix one army lying to another that it's going to join it on an invasion when it's actually gonna sit tight defending the capital
- work on AI code for duplicating missions, especially mult stabilizes for low-unrest nations, applies also to automated councilors
- fix some pursuit DV costs not being charged
- AI fix some conflicting logic in determining whether to bombard
- fix ally of breakway able to end rivalry, added UI text to explain
- The event Infiltrated Exposure now only exposes a single agent instead of the entire faction
- fix for full deck achievement not unlocking when recruiting 6th councilor after acquiring 2 turned councilors
- Removed part of the structure test node check that could have been turning off the AI if a ship was sufficientially damaged. This meant it could never withdraw.
- FactionGoal_Fleet.SavingForTarget() : do not select obsolete ship designs. Had one instance of this issue preventing aliens from building assault carriers.
- fix region damage not causing atrocities

C
- Minor adjustments to Pretenders narrative event
- fix secede terminal command
- adjust caliphate flag so it has a slight gradient and doesn't look like a hole in the UI
- fix for resolution dropdown always having first option selected instead of the current resolution
- fix cost report on repeatables when research scaling is in effect
- antimatter drives will no longer be considered "nuclear" drives for the purposes of spiker compatibility
- fix statement in escape objective
- fix bad textures on alien drives in skirmish when they are added to a human faction fleet
- fix some untrue "we'll only alert you once" messages in notifications
- update text about how to trigger near-peer rivalry cohesion gain
- fix for goto button on notification after merging ship into another docked fleet
- QOL change for match velocity targeting
- ToCommaSeparatedString() : commas not appearing sometimes bugfix
- fix Iberian Male 2 voice being too loud

Dear players,

YOU can help to improve the game localization. I've shared all the game's text files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZE3GsZC00gL4IgRJVUBMTG0llN3aLfpV?usp=sharing
You could suggest a correction right to the google document, or email me: grimorkstudio#gmail.com

All text files have JSON structure, please don't remove double quotes and other formatting symbols. I'll add your corrections to the next update.
If you want to translate the game to any other language supported by Steam, please, let me know. I can add more languages if anyone is willing to help with translation.

Thank you for your attention!
