A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Minor Update
2020-07-21 13:16 UTC · Community Announcements · AvalonDigital
Following the recent release of the third game in the Blocks! collection, Hammer of the Scots, we have updated Richard III with the improvements brought in the last product. Those mostly concern improvements of the multiplayer engine. Also, we have added improvements to the retreat procedures. Work is going on, thanks to the current ongoing early access campaign, on the other engine features that are still in demand, and that will be ported back into this game when completed. Visit the Hammer game here : Hammer of the Scots Early Access
January Update
2020-01-10 07:26 UTC · Community Announcements · AvalonDigital
At the same time as the JC patch, some of the added feature on multiplayer has a minor patch here. Fix game occasionally stuck on Battle Retreat phase ("Retreat from Pool" message)
The Flare Path: A2Z

A is for Alphabetised wargame and sim news . Every four weeks or so I hang up a streamer of industrial strength fly paper in The Flare Path dunny and see what wargame and simulation news stories adhere to it. Below is this month’s bag – 25 bite-size stories involving virtual vehicles and surrogate slaughter. If you wince when someone calls a locomotive a train, and can put these three battles – Trenton, Turnham Green, Trafalgar – in chronological order, you should probably click where it says… (more…)
New Blocks! game soon

The Blocks! collection gets larger... Our partner Columbia Games is presenting their second title ported on the Blocks! engine, Julius Caesar. The real good news here, besides enlargment of the collection, is that with the success of this campaign we hope to get the multiplayer function (exclusively on Steam) to be working on the game. And of course, Richard III players will benefit from it in the next major update on this game. Thanks all for your support. Caesar on Kickstarter

BLOCKS!: RICHARD III is available
2019-10-09 17:16 UTC · Community Announcements · AvalonDigital
The game has been presented this summer in a succesful Kickstarter campaign, followed by 2-months long beta testing. We feel it is now ready to face the public, and we are confident that you shall enjoy it. Please do not hesitate to comment, as we want to take every opinion of value into account and strive to continually support and update the game and its engine. With Richard III success, there is room for quite a few other successes from Columbia Games to be ported on the Blocks! engine.
