The Damned is now available!
[p][p]
When the damned armies fell, silence did not follow. From beneath their bodies poured a thick, putrid green fog, and the earth beneath them hissed as if awakening in pain. The dead grass blackened, curled, and from the cracks crawled roots — like hands reaching toward the sky.
[/p]
With a rasp that froze the blood, the souls of the warriors tore free — grim, glowing with the sickly light of decay and rot. They howled, as if a thousand throats screamed at once, and began to swirl in a spiral above the field. The air trembled, and the souls, rising into the heavens, dissolved into the dark clouds, leaving behind the stench of dampness and corruption.
And where they had fallen, the earth began to rot — blackening, crusted with a film of dead mold. No one dared step there again. Even the wind passed it by.
The Damned is now available in our game store for this eerie autumn season.[/p]
Modded community maps. Improving and restoring the functionality
But without timely updates of the connected mods, maps may start malfunctioning or even fail to launch.[/p][p]If you maintain your own maps, please check the list of connected mods from time to time and update them to the latest versions to avoid incompatibilities.[/p][p]Thank you for playing and supporting us with your creations.

Game core optimization and island map generation changes
Hi friends! We’ve released a small but important update.
We’ve significantly optimized the game’s core gameplay systems.
Additionally, island maps will now appear less frequently in team matches.
On island maps, it’s now guaranteed that at least 10% of the map area consists of uninhabited islands.
Thank you for playing and supporting us - especially for your feedback and replays. We’ll keep polishing performance and the map generator!
Enjoy the game!

The new Sylvan Serpent statue is now available
[/td][/tr]
Old folks say that in times long forgotten, there lived a wise Sylvan Serpent, the guardian of woods and keeper of hidden paths. Its breath was a fragrant breeze that brought life, and its voice—a melody enchanting all living things.
Yet one day, a cruel ruler came to the forest, wishing to fell the trees and build a city devoid of the spirit of life. The serpent gave up the spark of its own life to protect the ancient woodland and took away the will of the foolish invaders. Absorbing the evil of mankind, it transformed into an eternal guardian
