Latest Patch Notes (5/28/2020) - Goodbye to Dryland
Ladies and gentlemen, say goodbye to the Dryland tiles and Dryland native powers with them, they are gone! No more! Vamooshed out of existence!
Oh and we got some other changes for you too. Hardened and Inorganic Construct are no longer percentage based damage reduction, and a rework to purify should see it be a better counter against those nasty flamethrowers. Read on in the patch notes below!

One Last Delay
Hey everyone, we’re announcing one more (and unless a complete freak accident happens, the last) delay for Last Regiment’s release date: we’re now releasing on June 15.
We know we promised to release on June 2, but after taking advice from a number of people in and out of the company, we have decided that it would be better for us to release in the middle of June rather than too early on. We’re hoping that this later launch date leads to a more successful one, and hopefully a thriving, vibrant community.
Have any questions? Comments? Reactions? Our ears are always open over on our Steam forums and Discord server!

Latest Patch Notes (5/22/2020) - Two Kitchen Sinks
Hey all! We have a truly gigantic list of changes for you today, even bigger than the last major patch which was the largest we've ever done. When we delayed the game's release by two weeks, we thought "Well, last chance to get in one more major overhaul" and took it, revamping every unit's HP and damage numbers as well as massively overhauling abilities and movement costs. It's Last Regiment as you've never played it before, filled with lightning-fast 5 speed units and 100 HP behemoths. We really love a lot of the changes we've made, and we hope you'll find the game faster, deadlier, and way more fun than it's ever been!

LAST REGIMENT’S RELEASE DELAYED TO JUNE 2
Hey everyone, it’s exactly as it says on the tin. We’re going to be delaying Last Regiment’s release date from May 19 to June 2.
We’re sorry the delay happened at the very last minute, but we had to think very carefully about if we could launch with the sort of marketing work we had already done, and the answer was no. We need more time to get the word out, to get those ads up and emails sent, and just overall be better prepared for when the game finally releases. As a bonus, it gives our team some extra time to do easy last-minute bug fixes and quality of life changes too.
Unfortunately, that means our big countdown isn’t quite going to last until June 2 anymore, but in case you wanted to see what the rest of the art looked like, we uploaded the rest of the countdown art over at our blog page!
As always, our ears are always open to your feedback and comments. Come talk to us either here or on our Discord!

Latest Patch Notes (4/22/2020) - Everything and the Kitchen Sink
Hey everyone,
We have an unbelievable amount of new changes for you today, and I mean a lot. A LOT a lot.
There's so much new stuff that we cried making it, because our eyes had been staring at the screens for so long they began to plead us for mercy. There's so much new stuff we questioned ourselves if we really didn't want to release this in several patches. There's SO much new stuff that we chose to put it all in one update anyway just so you could have the same reaction as us and go "Holy shit, that's a lot of new stuff."
But what kind of stuff will you find inside?
A New Hero - Queen Sawtooth arrives as the final hero of Last Regiment, bringing the full might of the Goblinkin's forces upon the invaders of Kothia. If you've ever wanted a faction focused on swift raiding parties and unstoppable melee force, Sawtooth is for you! She's got airships, snipers, mages, and bulky beasts under her command, everything you would need to raze the enemy base to the ground when you come out of nowhere.
UI Updates - A new campaign screen! New victory and defeat screens! Hexes that are not in vision now show up as sepia-colored! There's a search function in our Regiment Creator now! You asked us for changes, and we deliver as promised!
Sound - Everyone has a voice now. Everyone. What's that? You want more sound? How about new music, because we've got that too! Prefer to listen to crickets chirp while you play skirmish? We've still got your back, as we put in ambient noises on all the maps as well! be on the lookout for a certain squirrel unit, which our Creative Director decided he could voice better than an actual squirrel and squeaked into a mic with all his might.
Balance Changes - As always, we're making some changes to keep multiplayer mode fun and balanced for everyone!
