Thank you all for your participation and, if you haven't followed our most recent blog posts, have a read before hoping into the game > --- ##### Major Rework --- All rework has been addressed in previous blog post, if you’re interested in one topic in particular, be sure to check them! ##### **[New combat reworked](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/466560/view/506199076171154727?l=english)** The “power triangle” has been revamped to make multi-unit armies viable again, with shared bonuses across all unit types. Major tweaks affect all clans, including a fully reworked Legion path, a unique military path for the Clan of the Dragon, and a new southern Kingdom forge to support both mono and mixed armies. ##### **[Lobby reworked and ranked gamemode](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/466560/view/576005583301247501?l=english)** 2v2 is back in Quick and Ranked games, giving players a long-requested competitive mode in the new lobby system. A new pick system has also been added: clans are now chosen one by one in team modes (2v2 and 3v3) to improve strategy and fairness. In FFA and Duel, picks are now hidden to avoid last-second countering. ##### **[New visuals](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/466560/view/576005583301248187?l=english)** All military units from both Northern clans and Southern kingdoms have received visual upgrades, following the improvements made to Warchiefs and specialized workers. Expect higher-resolution models, new animations, and more personality in each fighter. Battles now feel more intense with improved combat effects, especially in large engagements. Feedback is welcome as we polish the final visuals! ##### New conquests --- **3 new conquests** has been added, linked to the clan of the Hounds --- For more details on the update, be sure to check the patch notes [Complete Patch Notes](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/466560/view/506200344140709913 style=button) > Thank you all for following this journey for 7 years onward!
