Greetings!
Finally we can invite you to explore twice bigger game world! Besides of new locations which can be captured and upgraded, the update also brings a lot of new enemies and game mechanics improvements. We introduce a few new features as well to make Gloria Victis world more alive. We want to thank from the bottoms of our hearts all of you who participated in long tests of following versions!
Meanwhile we are almost done with implementing an ability to build walls and the other structures from scratch. We are also finally implementing a new version of equipment system – soon we will start intensive tests to bring those changes to you as soon as possible!
P. S. Today at 8 PM CEST we play with you together at EU server!
