Random favors the home worlds of the factions in the match. • Campaign levels set in matching worlds. • A setting to always use the Void board. • Map builder: scenery and ground tools, a new random map button, and a return to match setup. • Tutorial lessons on impassable terrain, and on demolishing and upgrading totems. • The advanced tutorial now covers scoring a point in King of the Citadel. • New 'Chosen' filter in the spell draft screen. Changed: • Redesigned UI: new menus, buttons, dialogs and controls. • Improved layouts for landscape mode, tablets, and desktop. • Updated logo and arcane star currency icon. • Fog of War remembers explored ground, shown in gray; unexplored ground is covered in cloud. • The hex inspector shows out-of-sight hexes as last seen, and unexplored hexes as unexplored. • New shield borders around defended hexes, by defense tier. • Player territory palettes tweaked to maintain contrast against the new worlds' tile colors. Fixed: • Fixed issue with cutoff content in the in-game HUD on small screens. • Fixed bug where other factions' spells showed up in the in-match spellbook. • Fixed tutorial highlights pointing at the wrong hexes and buttons. • Fixed the hex inspector revealing details of hexes hidden by Fog of War. • Fixed being able to capture a teammate's territory by summoning a unit onto it in team matches. • Fixed the summon button staying enabled when the selected province could not afford a unit but another province could.

Great strategy game without aggressive monetization

It’s really an addictive strategy game. I’ve been playing every day for about a month now. It’s simple on the surface but with a surprising amount of depth. I also like that you can play fully offline, and it’s not bloated with ads or IAPs. You can unlock all the content just by playing the campaign or by doing the daily challenges regularly.

Awesome pick up and play!

Amazing pick up and play combined with just the right amount of strategy! Easy to play, hard to master.

Really fun game to play

It’s the kind of game that you can open up while waiting on something or play a long match over time. It doesn’t have any of the annoying things mobile apps tent to have that keep me away from most mobile games. All positive over here!!!

Great strategy game

Addictive strategy game. Simple on the surface but with a good amount of depth. Hoping they add online PvP soon
