Hey, Dwarven Scouts!
It's time to step up your defenses like never before – because in Update #17: Walls & Waves, we're making big changes to how you build and protect your colony! ????️⚔️ Now you can draw defensive walls before placing them, making construction smoother, faster, and way less click-heavy.
And to help you prepare for incoming chaos, we're adding a visible attack radius for enemy waves, so
you’ll always know where to reinforce your defenses. This feature will be expanded soon with Raven Watchtowers, making scouting even more effective!
We made missions on the first island much clearer (or at least we hope so!) by improving their descriptions, objectives and titles, ensuring a smoother and more engaging early adventure.
