Do you like Hulk Madness! Challenge map? Want to have more? Then try out Hulk Smash by Chewk! The concept of the map doesn’t need an introduction: your castle is surrounded by lakes and cliffs. It is both a curse and a blessing — the rugged terrain limits the area available for building, and at the same time it makes defending easier. It provides plenty of resources, and fish can sustain your populati

As usual, we have a video prepared too — see the new units yourself! Bull Rider Nothing describes a country better than its cavalry. It is especially true for Gorgoth: their mounts are so iconic they are a part of their coat of arms! Bulls are so common in the empire that they replaced horses in the army and are used for everything. The fact that famous gorgothian horses all belong to the Emperor and are s

In Fog of War DLC there are no branching choices, but you’ll be able to choose in what order you complete some of the 10 upcoming missions. You also don’t have to play the base game’s story — the DLC campaign will be available separately and won’t require knowing the previous events to enjoy it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37469956/a1d1d1677ff2950f8b5a90660a8177063ab5682a.pngTwo new enemy factions will confront your classic units: the Gorgoth Empire and the Great Kin

Wishlist Diplomacy is Not an Option: Fog of War so you don’t miss it! Fog of War is planned for release in Q4 2026 and will cover events that take place after one of the Rebels’ branch endings. Our protagonist has become the King of Samreignia, but now he faces a war on two fronts: taking the opportunity of the internal strife, the Gorgoth Empire and the Great Kingdom of Inverland attacked in hopes to conquer some lands.

Let’s look at what it brings in our new video: Or read the article to learn what’s new!Starting Bonuses in the campaign As we mentioned previously, one of the main features of the Penetrative update is Starting Bonuses you can choose when selecting a campaign mission. These perks are aimed to boost the very beginning of base building and ease up early development. But if you strive for more challenging gameplay, you can choose no bonuses at all! Keep in mind that the number of perk

As we’ve mentioned in our previous post, there’s something special among the upcoming Starting Bonuses, something really magical. Meet Morgana the Chicken Wizard! Once a simple hen, she wanted to fly and see the world. After a long and arduous study of magical spells and their intricacies, she finally became the most powerful wizard of Samreignia. She still can’t fly though — seems like even magic can't make a chicken fly! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37469956/69ebc0e2aee1c1b22bb07a982cb706e46b594943.pngSelecting her as a

Today the focus of our attention is at Head On by Ty_nugget.Your goal here is to survive 10 attacking waves. The main feature of the map is a long narrow mountain pass — the only way for enemy attacking waves to get to your castle. Use it wisely to limit the strength of enemy attacks! However, this doesn’t mean that you get a safe haven to peacefully build and expand. On the contrary, areas where enemy waves can’t go through swarm with all sorts of hostil

And as usual, here’s our new video! Following your encounter with Ozzy, you are suggested to join the Undead. Should you agree and be reborn, your new task is to spread the Song across Samreignia. But first you need to show Sarranga all the benefits of being undead! And your band needs more members. Of course, you also need to figure out how to cross the sea so you can hold the concert in the capital… but death fin

As you probably know, the campaign in Diplomacy is Not an Option consists of four branches: King’s, Rebels’, Sarranga’s and for the Undead. Today, let’s discuss Sarranga’s branch — which probably offers the most peaceful game ending. And don’t forget to check out our new video about it!
