We are happy to announce a big Bannermen update (v 1.1), coming April 5th! The update will contain brand new content, including 2 new units and a new skirmish map. Moreover, the update comes with great improvements in the campaign and skirmish AI, and will also make it possible to play co-op against skirmish AI. In addition to this, performance improvements and a bunch of polishing will be presented. A detailed list of all new content/features/changes will be communicated a few days before the update goes live.
Alongside the content update, we will arrange a big tournament, organised through our Discord and casted on Twitch. The tournament will take place on Sunday, April 7th, and all Bannermen players are welcome to participate! Great prizes are to expect! We plan to open a registration for the tournament sometime next week, and at this point the prize pool will be revealed.

Numudan winner of Bannermen's first tournament
First tournament
Yesterday Nakamura RTS, hosted and casted, a tournament with some of the best players from the community. The newcomer Numudan, surprised everyone when he won against players that have since the Beta dominated the ladder. He also humbly donated his winnings to the next tournament.
This tournament featured many unusual openings and tactics that have rarely been seen before and never been executed on this level.
