Much has happened over the course of 2017, and our Crash Wave Games team want to extend a special thank you to all of our players! Throughout the year your feedback has helped inspire changes like the model redesign of the Valkyrie, and get bugs that you have caught fixed. Keep in contact with us on twitter and in the Steam Discussions for updates, known bugs, and to give us your feedback.

Our latest patch has several fixes:

• Fixed bug with click sounds playing on options window initialization.
  
• Fixed bug with missing options panel reference in battle editor.
  
• Added a few more side quests to the 3rd region, and a random great barge battle.
  
• Changed some shipwreck encounters that couldn't be completed without picking up a viking.
  
• Fixed a minor bug where all the vikings would play victory animations after killing a golem.
  
• Fixed a UI bug: fire up skill was causing the character details window to show a regular crit chance of 100%.
  
• Doubled damage from bleed effects. Figured it should be stronger since the damage can be avoided.
  
• Achievements fix to battles won. Go out and show the world what type of leader you are with the “Warlord” achievement!

We’ve got big plans for next year! Features like more playable areas, questlines, and Vikings are all in the works. We know you want to get your hands on this content and we can’t wait to share it with you. Please stay tuned for more updates from us in 2018! We’ve been working hard on getting this game finished and your help and support will ultimately make it successful. We’re thrilled to have you with us as we continue to build what we believe is a great game and community!

Stay Ruthless and See you in 2018!

We've read through our discussions board and have a new set of awesome changes ready for build 1.64. This version of Iron Tides also includes a new tile-set (in addition to our custom level editor) that prepares our team for the next region (TBA).

Here are this week's changes:

• The Beserker now wields two axes and does not have a shield. This makes him much more vulnerable to incoming attacks - keep a close eye on him! We've also increased his overall damage to balance out his new weakness.
  
• The Valkyrie can now attack diagonally, which gives her more versatility as a warrior.
  
• Two new skills have been added to the Hunter: Deadly Aim, Point Blank
  
• One new skill has been added to the Beserker: Mastery of Arm
  
• One new skill has been added to the Vanguard and the Beserker: Eye for Weakness.

Hey warriors, stay connected with our Twitter to get the latest updates and WIP's.

We're working on:

• A zoom-in feature that amplifies the last killing-blow.
  
• One new enemy type for the next region.
  
• Something we read from the discussions board. *clinks beer*

Check out Steam page for bi-monthly updates and stay tuned for more!

Its an absolute pleasure to see new videos and reviews. Feel free to reach out and chat to us at support@irontides.com.

Thank you for playing Iron Tides and leaving us with a review. We learn a lot from what you have to say, and this week we are celebrating BaronVonPlay's epic victory. He uploaded a video of Iron Tides where he absolutely decimates all who stand in his way.

This week, we're adding features to help polish our overall game experience, and to help new players jump in and get started. We want to also thank warriors on the discussions board who have leaped into the fray to ask questions and post suggestions.

This week's changes are:

• A NEW TUTORIAL: We noticed players were having a hard time with the original tutorial and needed help during their play session. We hope this new tutorial helps you ease into the experience and get to stabbing enemies in the face faster.
  
• Poison and Bleed particle effects are now active at the beginning of your turn. This makes it a bit easier to know who on the field is the most vulnerable.
  
• We re-balanced a few abilities on the Vanguard (Avenging Blow), and the Wolf Priestess (Remedy).
  
• We also re-balanced the Trading Route quest making it is easier to complete.
  
• We fixed a bug with the Vanguard. Big thanks to the discussions board for finding it.

We are thrilled to read reviews and posts from players who want to better their gaming experience. Having said that, its come to our attention that we have yet to explain the finer features of our game.

Can I Move My Ship With the Keyboard?
Absolutely, use WASD to sail about the seas.

Is There a Hot-Key to End My Turn?
Great question, hit the SPACEBAR to end your turn immediately. **BE CAREFUL not to end your turn accidentally!**

Are There Hot-Keys to Select an Ability?
They are the numbers 1-2-3-4 above QWERTY on your keyboard.

Will There Be An UNDO Button?
We're giving this some thought as it is a sensitive feature to add in a strategy game with rogue-like elements. However, as mistakes do happen, we don't think anyone should be punished for making one. We are looking for a solution to help alleviate the stress of making the wrong move, and tentatively agree to include a limited UNDO move for testing in a later build. If you have a good solution that doesn't take away from the difficulty of the game, drop us a line on the discussions board or send us an email to support@irontides.com

We have received emails from testers on Linux and Mac, and will be responding to these shortly. If you'd like to stay in the loop, get into the discussions board and send us a message!

Stay ruthless! Enjoy v1.62.
