Orders of the Ruler

Update Notes For April 3

Hello,

Thanks to your feedback, we have been able to fix the following issues:

  • Tooltip draw times
  • Mobilization point bug
  • Food gathering through carcasses (it's still counterintuitive, but we are working on it)



As always, we love to hear your feedback in the form of support inquiries, emails, and Discord messages. Also, as you all know, reviews are important for a game's financial success, so we kindly ask all of you to write a review for our game since our community is still small.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to bringing you more updates in the future.

Best regards,
E2D2Works

Update Notes for March 31

We have taken the criticism and tinkered around to reduce our installation size from 74.4 GB to 52.8 GB, with a total download size of 34.0 GB. With this, we hope to appeal to more players. We will continue to work on it in the future, but this is the best we can do for now.

Here are the changes we have made:

  • We have reduced the size by 21.6 GB.
  • We have fixed the issue where the worker could get overlap with the stone while mining gold.
  • We have solved the AI spawn problem in skirmish mode.



Some players reported that they did not see any AI in their playthrough. While we could not reproduce this on our end, we have an idea about where the issue could have originated and we have changed the script to prevent this from happening again. We will try to reproduce the issue over the weekend.

We understand that you may not have been able to try the domination mode due to the small number of concurrent online players in your region, causing matchmaking issues. We are currently working on a new bot system for domination mode to ensure that you can experience it properly without waiting too long.

We have also heard some players criticize our graphics, whether it be the art style or the general quality of the game art. We want you to consider this as an RTS game, and an indie one at that. Additionally, there is a chance that your game instance may not have optimized shaders, so we highly recommend checking your graphic settings.

Update Notes for March 28

With all the submissions on the mail and ticket system, we find and fix:


  • Campaign uncuttable trees changed
  • Chinese character font problem fixed
  • Domination Hud aspect ratio fixed


Currently, we cleared all of the support backlogs if you stumble upon anything or want to suggest a feature feel free to contact us via support channels or the community.

Update Notes for March 27

With this update all known bugs have been fixed.

  • Domination Menu How to Play widget fixed
  • Language selection fixed
  • Ingame graphic menu mouse bug fixed

Small Inconvenience

We regret to inform you that the launch of Orders of the Ruler has been delayed until Monday, March 27. This is due to some persistent bugs that we were unable to resolve in today's update, as well as a shortage of available outlets over the weekend. We apologize for the inconvenience and are pleased to announce a 20% launch discount starting on March 27.
