Mounted Troops Now In Game!
It’s been an exciting week here at Animus Interactive – this is the week where we add our long-awaited mounted troops – the Cavalry Units. We hinted at them last week when we told you that we were testing our our first four formations, but we can now confirm that all three Cavalry Units are now in game and being tested. While not in their final form yet, testers can now try out mounted combat for the first time!
While the mobility of Scouts will give you the ability to check on enemy troops and see what they’re doing, Light Infantry can take apart a well-placed unit and Heavy Infantry can do extensive damage to enemy troops.

Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises implements Siege Units, Troop Formations and a new Spectator Mode GUI
Animus Interactive have announced the addition of Siege Units, Troop Formations and a new Spectator Mode GUI to their real time strategy game, Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises.
Siege Units Added!
Siege Units are now in game, and our Avalon Lords Alpha testers can build Catapults, Ballista and Trebuchets! While work is still being done on these units, you can now create them using the Siege Workshop. Siege Units move more slowly than regular units, but are capable of doing much more damage. You can check them out in the video below:

Troop Formations
The implementation of troop formations has begun! Soon, you will be able to order your troops into many different types of formation, allowing for more complex tactics and much more engaging gameplay.
New Spectator Mode GUI
The new GUI (graphical user interface) for spectator mode is now in game! When viewing matches as a spectator you can now see each contestant’s resource levels and the troops they have available.
