Already teased in our Livestreams (what, you didn’t know we have a Twitch channel? Check it out here: https://www.twitch.tv/songsofsilence ) we have been working on some nice improvements and are happy to bring you our first major update from our Early Access Roadmap!

Quality of life, but also one big bugfix that will make the AI feel better and smarter. Already brought to our private beta branch. Read more here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2195410/view/4270057097475752261?l=english.
We carried over a bugfix that now allows AI armies to enter their own locations to stash in their gold, recruit new units & heroes. We hope that makes the Skirmish even more fun!
But, there’s more!

[Roadmap Feature] Movement System Rework

Motivated by feedback from our dear Community, and the team, we aimed to improve the UX and quality of live. It is now easier to move & sneak past units on the map, as we adjusted the control zones. The movement calculation make more sense now, and you can even make the more complicated trips – close to rivers or mountains (to a degree – of course)

[Roadmap Feature] SteamDeck & Controller Support

We heard some of you like to play on their SteamDeck, or with Controllers. We improved the input system, and the UI. And yes, we adjusted the font size too. We hope it helps!

[Community Feedback] Garrison Aid when breaking Sieges

Hoping to overcome the issue with early game sieging and preventing it – and to make the garrison more impactful – we decided to let the Garrison join you in the fight when you try to break a siege. Now your enemies will think twice, before they attack you!

[Community Feedback] Added Settings to let Music play when using another Window

Especially important for our streamers, you can now decide whether you want the music to play or to stop when checking out another window. Our Songs of Silence Music is great, so why not keep listening to it in the background?

Other Improvements!

Army Management and Location Interaction: AI now considers to put Units into the location to heal them, and to leave other units in the Garrison for better protection
AI Armies can move through allied occupied locations: Instead of going around, the armies now go through their location
Updated Wilderness Biome on Large Maps. Looks prettier now and has more details!
Implemented procedurally generated decoration assets: You can now find various small details across the maps, such as vegetations or windmills!
Updated the Light Vein Visuals: They look sharper, and are more visible on the map!
