DWARFHEIM FRIENDPASS IS HERE!
Rejoice Thanes of Agartha!
For today the Warriors at Pineleaf Studio have unveiled the third content update of the DwarfHeim Early Access Roadmap! This update is now live!
This is a truly wonderful content update as it includes DwarfHeim Friend-Pass! For those of you who don’t know Friend-Pass is an incredible way for DwarfHeim players to introduce their friends to the game. We’ll be posting a “How To” guide separately so you can get your friends in on the RTS action!
Friend-Pass is a major addition to DwarfHeim that the development team is incredibly proud of. It shines a light on the co-operative gameplay, a key pillar for Pineleaf, and gives supporters an easy way to share the fun around. It’s not the only addition, either. Ranked matches, Leaderboards, and tons of UX improvements have already landed in Early Access, and here are the additional features going live alongside Friend-Pass:
Custom Games - Enables the players to play 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3, in non-matchmade environments.
New Basic Tutorial - New tutorial that acts as a smoother introduction, as well as a prequel to our story mode campaign coming later in our EA road map
Improved Keybindings - In addition to a new slider for edge movement, players can choose between Traditional and Modern keybindings for the modern and classic RTS players
Unit Type Effects - A big game balance that takes unit types into account, requiring more strategizing from our players. IE - An Arbalist will now deal increased damage to a Berserker, which is a fast unit, while the Berserker will deal more damage towards a Shieldbearer which is an armored unit and so on.
There’s plenty more that will release throughout Early Access. Stay tuned for updates on the DwarfHeim roadmap.
Among these awesome additions the devs put a little extra under the tree with the following additions:
Global chat
AI Improvements
Pathfinding improvements
New build menu
Updated minimaps
Xmas decorations

We’re very excited for you and your friends to try Friend-Pass and hope they enjoy the experience. Please let us know if the content updates improve your DwarfHeim experience! You can find the full list of improvements made since our Early Access Release on the DwarfHeim Discord, be sure to let us know if you have any feedback or questions!
Thanks.
DwarfHeim HOTFIX 18 LIVE!
Greetings Mighty Thanes!
With the recent update that introduced Ranked we saw game queue times increase and community feedback has supported this.
To reduce the length of queue times we decided to merge Conquest and Ranked. This will allow all players to queue in the same lobby and let the players who like to progress towards higher ranking to continue to do so. Conquest matches will still run as normal, though we will be clearing this leaderboards and ranks at certain times as we continue to balance the game.
We will of course continue to monitor this to make sure it is a positive change for our DwarfHeim community.
Patch notes:
- Merged Casual and Ranked game modes to ease queue times during peak.
- Removed start delay for singleplayer
- Fixed auto farming bug. (No seriously this time, I'll buy you an ale if you prove me wrong.)
- Added analytics to our matchmaking to help us improve the service.

As always, we hope you enjoy these updates and they improve your DwarfHeim experience! You can find the full list of improvements made since our Early Access Release on the DwarfHeim Discord, be sure to let us know if you have any feedback or questions!
Thanks.
