    It's been a long time since we released last game.
    We were busy with something we always loved to do - fully featured turn based strategy game.
    Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization are my favourite turn based series so we are influenced by them.

    I would like to share with you some pictures presenting current status of the game.

    I hope some of you are fans of strategy games as well and you would like it :)

    Great!! Always a fan of TBS. looks good so far and hope you guys achieve what you've set out to do. Will be following. Question everyone will want to ask is for a ball park release date? We understand if it's too early to tell us that. Good luck!

    That looks like a good start. Add more to the landscape like hills like in GLWG and it'll look better.

    Wow... I can't wait for this one. Looks amazing. The 3D castles/buildings give it a nice physical feel. Although the unit design looks a little plain vanilla (I'm hooing for some more fantastic units... orcs, necromancers, dragons, etc). I have enjoyed Cars & Guns 3D and I Love Zombies by this developers so this looks like a no brainer.

    Same idea here, as Undeadcow, big fan of tbs and the terrain and castles look phenomenally interesting/exciting for this type of game. 2 thumbs up from me.

    I'm going to use a cliched expression to describe my reaction to the units; a little underwhelmed by comparison to the above. For me the painted faces either could be hilarious - or they could be too inexpressionless/lacking character/anima. Just my particular reaction: They might work brilliantly for others who like that style/look, perhaps they remind me a little of lego men in a way. Aiming to be constructive.

    Cool title and impressive screenshots overall. :cool:

    I really like the 3D graphics and scope of the game, as it looks like you can great large armies and castles. At first I though this game would be a great RTS game, but I'll gladly take a good TBS game as well.

    I'm not sure if I like the tilt to rotate function, could that be changed to a virtual button, in the options? Also are there any plans for adding a offline skirmish mode besides the campaign?

    While we are waiting, I don't suppose you have some gameplay videos to post?

    @Marcus70

    In fact game has 3 different modes at present:
    1. campaign (in fact 2 different campaigns: playing Castle Clan or Battle Clan)
    2. skirmish (few different difficulty levels)
    3. multiplayer (two player game on one device, 4 different size maps - real fun :) )

    Whole storyline takes place in such Kingdom, where two clans fight against each other:

    Regarding gameplay video, we will post it tomorrow or on Tuesday, so stay tuned.

    @oooooomonkey

    Game will be launched at $2.99 price. Hope it's not to much, since it has really many many hours of gameplay. We, as usual, don't like IAPs with model "pay to play", so it will be fully functional game which don't force to purchase additional content. There will be some IAPs for those lazy players who want to recruit most advanced units in first mission.

    @undedcow

    The game will be launched within 7 days if everything goes fine (Saturday or next Monday I hope).

    Just watch out for this minimalistic icon:

    Congrats on the review status, there haven't been many worthy games lately so hoping this breaks the slump.
