Updated 1.9 - Lots of Fixes and Balancing
Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer. We have another solid update for you just in time for the summer sale. We`ve looked into fixing some of the remaining bugs, though happy to see we are getting less and less reports as the game is really starting to take shape. In addition we continue work on balancing, and making sure each of 50 factions and hundreds of possible starting Lords is fun to play and get good starting conditions. Work continues and we expect another update towards the end of June, it`ll be a big one.
As always - thanks for your continuous support!
Here`s the details of what Update 1.9 brings, and sorry for not going too much details, as there were too many types of the same fixes, so I`m just grouping these in categories
Playtested and rebalanced starting condition for more of North African kingdoms and lords
Redone diplomatic relations and polished starting conditions, as well as stats for most Slavic nations
Worked on making minor nations that start at war with much stronger enemies have better chance at surviving the early game
A lot of playtesting and rebalancing for majority of nations with several big towns
Corrected a lot of lord names and starting assets
Reworked a lot of the starting diplomacy for most nations
Fixed some Kingdoms that could not be defeated due to an incorrect or missing towns or lord links
Fixed several rare camera bugs
Fixed issue with naval combat being activated instead of land battles when armies are too close to water
Better balancing for tax income from citizens, was a bit too OP in later game making it too easy to win once you reach certain Kingdom Size
Fixed becoming King not working right for a few nations
Other minor fixes and improvements across the board

Updated 1.8 - Reworked AI Progression
Hey Everyone,
We have another major update for today that addresses a lot of long standing issues with AI - both on the world map and in combat. Of note - the difficulty, AIs tactics, and unit selection has been greatly reworked, and also AI will now progress through tech tier same way player would, and would no longer train powerful units in battle from the get go. This makes early game quite a bit easier but challenge quickly goes up as the years go by.
I`ve also worked on a few other bugs and improvements that were brought up recently by our players. Work continues and I should have the next update ready for you later this month. As always - thanks for your continuous support!
And now lets take a look at what this 18th update includes.
Changes and Additions
Completely reworked what units AI trains in battle
AI will now honestly progress through tech tiers and train stronger units in battle in later campaign years
Fixed all issues with AI using high tier units during early campaign years
Combat AI is now a low easier in early campaign
Fixed major balancing issue with AI, where Medium campaign difficulty AI would actual use Hard difficulty tactics
Medium campaign difficulty AI rebalanced to be significantly easier
Hard difficulty AI rebalanced to be significantly harder
Improved game scrolling it`s smoother now
Camera scrolling is a good deal slower now
Fixed various camera jump bugs when scrolling the camera
Fixed rare error that would make complete break controlling troops during combat
Updated welcome message for new players
Fixed broken interface in the skirmish menu showing weird characters

Update 1.7 - Major Balance Changes
Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well, and after a bit of a delay over the past few turbulent weeks, I`m glad to say that we are back to regular updates for Kingdom wars 4. Today we have a major update 17th that I wanted to take a bit of time to talk about.
Today`s update includes a lot of major rebalancing changes that were designed to make the game a lot more challenging and interesting to play. I`ve focused on fixing one of the major complaints we had - misusing personal time in ways to accumulate too many resources that greatly unbalances the game. Increase in difficulty was also possible due to improvement to the AI both on the campaign and world map, as well as a lot of balancing work for both the RTS and campaign modes. In addition there are a lot of fixes and smaller updates across the board as well.
As the work continues you can expect the 18th update sometimes within a week or so. In addition I`ll be posting details on the upcoming Undead Rising DLC, with some screenshots and feature list early in April, can`t wait to start sharing more details of this exciting DLC with our payers.
And now lets take a look at what this 17th update includes.
Changes and Additions
Fixed various ways to exploit personal time to be unstoppable in the campaign mode
Balanced out all aspects of using personal time in early and late game
Campaign difficulty has increased quite a bit, especially for hard game mode in all regards
Silver Income is now 40% slower in campaign in all game campaign modes, and faster in Skirmish and PvP
Personal time accumulates a good deal slower each month
Silver and Stone Mine buildings upsets the town population a lot more time
Fully mining towns will result in an extremely upset town that player can`t even enter
Especially applies to silver mines
Upgrading to higher tier silver and stone buildings makes a lot more sense now, as they upset population just a bit more
Various improvements to how AI moves units on the battlefields and on the defense map
Campaign AI improved at how it sends armies from smaller and larger nations
Fixed two rare crashes when loading saved campaign map in saved battle
Finalized how armies and navies look on the world map
Armies are much easier to see and select on the world map
Improvements to performance to the world map when a lot of armies are around
Cavalry now take a lot less damage when running over units
Cavalry is now a lot more useful for hit and run attacks
Greatly increased the cost of upgrading towns with palisade and stone walls
Upgrading and defending towns is a lot more challenging with higher costs
Looting and razing towns gives more resources
Looting and razing lower level towns now gives significantly more resources to make it viable early game
Updated descriptions for various stone and silver mine buildings
Livestock animals now generate a bit less food/silver in all game modes
New Update Incoming
Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is well during these difficult times. Apologies for the lack of updates over the past two months, and I`m happy to say that I`m back to prioritizing KW4 updates, and just finishing work on the big update 1.17 that can be expected early next week.
As part of this update I`ve focused on fixing one of the major complaints we had - misusing personal time in ways to accumulate too many resources that greatly unbalances the game when used well. In addition there are some good improvement son AI and a lot of balancing work for both the RTS and campaign modes. All in all game will be a lot more challenging and interesting to play after this update. In addition there are a lot of fixes and smaller updates across the board as well.
Once again thanks for your continuous support, and sorry for the delay in the update schedule. Can`t wait to share this update with you next week.
