Hello Defenders of Ithaca, We’ve been working hard on the new major update since our last update, and we are excited to tell you that the wait is almost over.
While we are polishing the update, here are some of the cool new features you can expect:
New Game+ Mode
You’ve beaten the story, but want even more of a challenge? Or you are so good at defending, that the game is too short for you even on the hardest settings? In this update, you will be able to start a New Game+. Expect more enemies, more weapons, and new mechanics.
Elite Enemies
In the new mode, there will always be a chance that an enemy will become an elite enemy, significantly stronger than the average enemy. But don’t worry, there will be extra help available. For example…
Forge
Have you already maxed out your army? With the forge, you can upgrade them even further, making them stronger to withstand the massive waves of monsters.
Craft
You will be able to combine equipment, improve its stats, and even select which skills and perks you want.
Prime Items
You have a chance to get these from Elite Enemies. These items will grant you new passive skills.
Balance
We are tirelessly working to balance the game, so you can expect some balance fixes for enemies and troops.
And much more! This will be the biggest update since the release, so make sure to follow us on all our channels!
We've been listening to your thoughts and questions regarding Cloud Saves, and we want to assure you that we're actively working on bringing them back very soon. Today's update primarily focuses on balancing the game, but we've also included numerous bug fixes. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Important
If you still encounter issues with FPS, soft-locks (game pauses), or blurriness when using 2K resolution, please first verify that you have the latest version of Legendary Hoplite (v1.3.3).
To verify your version, simply open the game, select your character, and once you're on the world map screen, look to the bottom right of the screen, the version number can be seen there.
If you are on v1.3.3 and still have this issue, then please can you re-install your game. This is a step that we have tested with numerous people and has been proven to reliably fix the issue.
Note: Uninstalling and re-installing the game should not remove your game save files, however, we still recommend that you create a manual backup before you do this. Your game save files are located in:
\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\TripleBricks
Important: The AppData folder is hidden by default, if you cannot see it then you will need to change your settings to see hidden folders by:
From file explorer click on File (top left of the screen)
Select Change Folder Options
Click on the "View" tab
Make sure that the option for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is checked.
