Line of Defense Tactics

v1.04 Released!
Added support for XBox360 and XBox One controllers.

For usage see the Controller Support section of the online docs

See full changelog

The main website has also been updated with a chart showing the various editions, pricing etc.

Game Docs
The game has docs and commands built-in. You can access them using ALT+D, ALT+Q

For printing, we also include the PDF versions. The Steam installer should do a silent install. If this fails for whatever reason (e.g. OS permissions), please follow this procedure to install them.

Look in the Steam's game install folder e.g.

C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\LODTactics\

There you will see LODTactics_steam_shortcuts.exe

Please run that file to do a silent install of the docs and other resources (e.g. cheat codes!)

You can then locate this folder in Start/3000AD/Line Of Defense Tactics Docs
