REWORK

- Pause system in conquest co-op : you are no longer limited to 2 pauses per player during the game, and you can use “P” shortcut.
- Conquest bonus "Your defense towers use your archery range's equipped arrows" is deprecated and has been replaced by “Reduces arrows' wood consumption in combat by 50%.” during development. It should not have been released and is now properly removed.
- Calculation of victory progression for "colonize the yggdrasil" has been improved to take colonization into consideration.
- Happiness calculation now displays the “Population” effect in orange, instead of “Expected happiness”.
- The Lure is now more visible. Once installed, it will remove some trees near it.
- Food tile generation has been improved.
- Lore graphs in the end game statistics. The lore graph now displays the cumulated lore over the whole game and displays all unlocked tech.

BUGFIXING

- Villagers are no longer building farms from a distance. (1 tile far from the building.)
- You no longer spend money for trade routes during the frozen sea event. (It was just a display issue).
- Starving and freezing do stop if your income is positive from trade.
- Conquest: Keep it simple. Build the Altar of King now gives 50 fame as intended.
- Using the Ram and Stomp ability of the Ox should no longer freeze the game.
- VFX on trackers fire arrows.
- Description text for Spectral Warrior.
- Fix warning “A lure is already affecting this zone” on a tile where the lure has already been installed and removed.
- Crash issue client side while the host was installing a lure.

Let’s get competitive with Ranked Ladder: Now released. Plus, more content.

News: Ranked Ladder

Iron Harvest just became more competitive! Many of you have been patiently waiting for this and we’re happy to be able to release it now.

Players can play against one another in ranked matches. Your position on the ladder is decided by your “Skill Rating” (SR).

There are 6 Leagues (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master) with 3 Divisions each. With every match played, you will gain or lose SR. Earn enough SR and you will be promoted to the next Division or League. Losing SR may result in you being demoted.

To establish your initial rank, you will need to play a series of placement matches. Currently, we estimate that 10 to 15 placement matches will need to be played before reliable and fair matchmaking is possible. This is simply because right now we don’t have the data to precisely match you with players of a similar skill.

Generally, we have improved our backend matchmaking and we are working on solutions to continually evaluate your skill level accurately as it evolves over time.

We currently plan to have only one ladder combining your score from all multiplayer game types and factions, but this may change in future based on player demand and feedback.

News: Auto-Cast Abilities

You can right-click on many of your units' abilities to toggle their automatic usage on or off. When auto-cast ability is on, the units will use these abilities autonomously in appropriate situations.

The idea behind this feature is to take some of the micro-management off the players should they choose. Should you want to keep full control, you of course don’t have to use it.

Auto-cast doesn’t make sense for all abilities, but we may enable this for more in the future depending on the feedback we receive.

News: Change Log

We also updated the game with various changes and improvements:

General Changes:

- A.I. improvements which allow them to heal, repair, and use some veteran abilities on medium or higher difficult level.
- The position of the default set Rally Point after entering a Building now depends on the direction from which you entered it.
- Fixed crashes related to loosing online connection while playing single player modes
- Fixed a bug causing freezes during campaign missions.
- Fixed an animation bug that prevented Olga from falling into her unconscious state.
- General U.I. and tool tip fixes.
- Updated multiple minimaps.
- To accommodate these changes and fixes, all saved games will be invalidated.

Balance Changes:

Heavy Mechs- The Tur, Gulyay-Gorod and Kaiser are performing well but we want them to be less common in the mid-to-late game and give other high-tier mechs a chance to shine.

- The Tur, Gulyay-Gorod, and Kaiser are no longer available as Reserve options.
- Both an Advanced Workshop and an Advanced Barracks are required to build these mechs.

Field Cannons and Anti-Armor Gunners- These have proven to be a bit too effective against unarmored targets such as infantry. As a first step, we:

- Anti-Armor Gunner splash damage decreased vs. unarmored from 15 to 5.
- Field Cannon damage decreased vs. unarmored from 100 to 50.
- Field Cannon splash damage decreased vs. unarmored from 50 to 15.

Headquarters- We want to give players more time to respond to base attacks and reduce the odds of being caught off-guard. Therefore, we are making it more difficult to destroy an HQ and we’ll keep a close eye on this going forward.

- Increased HP for all Headquarters from 1300 to 1750.

Reinforce, Repair and Heal- The cost of these affected the rest of the match too heavily. Therefore:

Costs for repairing mechs in-base reduced by 40%.

- Costs for Medic’s Heal ability decreased:
- For infantry decreased iron cost from 170 to 75.
- For repairing exosuits decreased iron cost from 200 to 150 and oil cost from 30 to 25.

- Exosuit in-field repair cost decreased by 50%.

- Exosuits in-base reinforce cost (per soldier) decreased:
- Rycerz reinforce cost from 85 to 60 Iron and from 20 to 10 Oil.
- Eisenhans reinforce from 85 to 55 Iron and from 15 to 5 Oil.
- Groza reinforce cost from 85 to 55 Iron and from 30 to 15 Oil.

POLANIA

Michał Sikorski was very difficult to counter for most players, while Polania’s early mechs were slightly too powerful for how easy they are to acquire. By contrast, their Rycerz exosuits needed a little love.

Melee damage decreased:
- vs. Unarmored from 40 to 20.

Lowca (Stinger mech) cost decreased from 600 to 575 Iron and 170 to 165 Oil.

SAXONY

Brunhilde is powerful but hard to utilize properly. With this change, we want to make playing with her more forgiving.

Brunhilde's HP increased from 850 to 1100.

Stiefmutter's wheel damage increased:

- vs. Light Armor from 65 to 85.
- vs. Medium Armor from 50 to 75.
- vs. Heavy Armor from 40 to 65.

Wotan's (heavy mech)cost decreased from 550 to 525 Iron and 170 to 160 Oil.

RUSVIET

Rusviet’s high-tier mechs have received some improvements to help make the Advanced Workshop feel like a worthwhile investment.

You and a friend can work together to complete over 21 hours of campaign missions spanning the intertwined narratives of our 3 factions and their heroes.

Outlook

As many of you know, our Kickstarter player survey revealed that most of you wanted the campaign experience to be the focus of our development. With this largely complete, and receiving much praise, we can now shift our attention to the multiplayer experience. This, and the recent map additions are only the beginning as we assess your feedback and establish our long-term goals for future updates.
