Monarchs,

Thank you for taking your time and bearing with us while we were working hard to investigate the issues you’ve encountered, the feedback you all provide has allowed us to continuously and rapidly deploy fixes. These patch notes include the following:

• Fixed an issue with an infinite loading screen being shown, caused by previously corrupt save files. Your save files will not be lost.
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause time to stop after player actions during the tutorial in local co-op.
  
• Fixed several issues that may cause the game to crash in the Call of Olympus campaign.
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause some players to be stuck inside the Cave Portal while exiting a Cave. Loading a currently affected save on this patch will solve the problem.
  
• The Souls for Hermes' Quest will now spawn at a higher rate across your Call of Olympus campaign. This will prevent players from being blocked from progressing in new saves of the game. Players that were already experiencing a roadblock in progression due to missing Souls will now find the necessary Souls to complete the quest at the Dock on Hermes' Quest island, but only once all other quests are complete.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from buying back lost gems at the Marketplace in Call of Olympus. You may need to revisit the islands where the Gems were first lost if the buy back option is not available immediately.
  
• An adequate number of Gem Chests will now spawn in new saves of the Call of Olympus campaign. If you have been soft locked on Artemis' Quest on a previous save due to a lack of available Gems, please reach out to our support desk so we can help.
  
• Asked the Greed to adjust their clocks so they can arrive on time at your Kingdom walls, instead of being too early.
  
• We also made sure your Knights will bring their archers closer to the wall at night for a more robust defense.

We’re also aware of a connectivity issue and are working hard to investigate it and issue a fix as soon as possible.

If you encounter further issues with the game and you have not reported them yet, please do so here as this is the quickest way for the devs to have a look https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 Your reports with attached save files help us identify and resolve the issues faster. Thank you very much to everyone who has helped us resolve the issues up until now.

Monarchs,

We thank you for your patience as we’ve been working hard to develop fixes for issues you have reported to us. This patch includes the following:

• Fixed another issue that prevented some older save files from migrating correctly to the new save system, causing an infinite loading screen. Loading your save file with your game updated to the hotfix patch should resolve the issue.
  
• For Mac users who are still experiencing the black screen, we are currently working on a fix. You can try to work around this problem by pressing Fn + F to exit fullscreen, and then enter fullscreen again. This should resolve the issue.

If you are not helped by this patch, please report the problem to our support desk and attach your save files - https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 . Each reported bug with attached save files helps us identify and resolve the issues faster. A big thank you to everyone who has helped us resolve the issues thus far.

With the release of Call of Olympus NEXT WEEK (excitement!) we’re also giving the Kingdom Two Crowns base game a 2.0 update. There's loads of quality-of-life updates, and those will be free for everyone who owns Kingdom Two Crowns, regardless of whether you purchase Call of Olympus or not. Some of the improvements we’ve already talked about (like more save slots and the option to disable the tutorial ghost!) but for this blog post we're inviting you to dive a little deeper into the details with one of our programmers, Danijel.

With the 2.0 update of Kingdom Two Crowns we have re-envisioned the visual representation of the game. Can you spot all the details?

There are many improvements coming to KTC with the 2.0 update (see a longer list further down below) but here are some of my favorites!

• Archers, knights and pikemen will no longer guard a side of your kingdom, if it is completely safe! Instead, they will rush to the other side and help where it is still needed. But don't worry, a few archers will still stay behind and hunt so you don't lose your income.
  
• Talking of smarter units, the archers also realized they don't have infinite range and it does not help anyone, if they occupy towers deep within the kingdom. You can now build towers close to your keep without worrying that the archers will take up permanent residence inside, and be unavailable when you need them once the kingdom is expanded. As walls are built and torn down, archers will now only occupy the towers within reasonable distance from the walls.
  
• If you found it hard to guess how much health a beach portal has remaining, you were not alone. Unlike forest portals which slowly crumble to let you know, beach portals were impossible to read. But no more! They have now grown little pustules which pop as they take damage, and once all pustules are gone the portal falls.
  
• If you enjoy playing multiplayer and admire the nature in Kingdom, you may appreciate this one: we greatly improved the multiplayer syncing of both the kinds of trees and bushes, as well as foliage colors and states of trees and bushes as they change colors, lose and regrow leaves with the change of seasons. So, you and your play partner can enjoy the same view when standing next to each other in multiplayer.
  
• We also fixed some annoyances, for example we now apply your saved sound settings during the boot-up sequence. So, if you are used to playing Kingdom with low volume, you don't get blasted by the sound.
  
• Ninjas in Shogun were too fond of their hiding spots and could hide in their old spot within your walls where encountering the Greed is unlikely. Or they would hide in plain sight once their favourite bamboo tree was cut down. This is no longer the case.
  
• You can now interact with a mount that walks towards a stable. You don’t need to wait for it to arrive there anymore!
  
• Islands where you completely eradicated the Greed no longer decay. Yay!
  
• If archers retreating from a fallen wall pass by an empty tower, they will take shelter and shoot the Greed there.

Some funny bugs that we fixed:

• The rabbits in O&B no longer play chicken sounds for P2 while in multiplayer.
  
• The rider on the loading screen now gallops with the steed when loading is complete.
  
• You can no longer change the difficulty while looking at the peaceful difficulty confirmation.
  
• P2 can now see the difficulty of the game they joined in multiplayer, instead of labeling everything normal.
  
• In multiplayer, P2 will now also hear the wonderful flute the Shogun merchant plays when dropping coins.
  
• While hunting or defending, if an archer shoots the rope holding a Monarch cage in Deadlands without having the player pay for it, it is now accounted for! Lucky shot indeed.

• The new save slot system lets you create up to 10 save slots. Your existing save files will be automatically converted to the new system and keep your progress intact.
  
• The new campaign select flow will give you a better overview when you select your preferred difficulty mode and ruler. It will also showcase the new ruler skins available through the Royal Wardrobe DLC’s, also launching alongside this patch!
  
• Added an option to disable the tutorial ghost. The ghost is also a bit less intrusive while it is enabled. However, the Oracle will still show up for certain events in Call of Olympus even with the tutorial ghost disabled, as the Oracle is a part of the story!
  
• Improved the level generation of the game. Walls, farms, and towers are now placed more evenly and with higher priority around the levels. Trees and bushes will overlap less with other structures. Shop placement has also been worked on, and should result in more reliable shop generation and less overlapping structures at the edge of your Kingdom.
  
• The winter season has been rebalanced to match your chosen difficulty level, making easier modes easier and (you guessed it) harder modes harder. Critters will spawn occasionally from the bushes, the number of berry bushes will depend on the difficulty, and the boar will spawn further from your Kingdom walls.
  
• Greed portals will be more reactive to your presence, and their defense waves will scale with the length of the current campaign.
  
• The offensive units have gone through mandatory training for defending your Kingdom where there is actual danger. This means that if one side of the level is clear of portals and threats, all units will focus on defending the side of your Kingdom that is still endangered.
  
• Had a chat with the worker units about their downtime behavior - they will now spread out more evenly throughout your Kingdom to await your next command!
  
• When citizens drop coins, they throw them in your movement direction instead of just dropping them on the ground.
  
• All mounts will now clearly show when they have finished feeding and regained their stamina sparkles.
  
• The bear mount has gotten an overhaul in all biomes where it can be found. We’ve lowered the cost and made improvements to its movement and stamina, and tweaked its attacks. It now regains a small bit of stamina whenever it hits another animal.
  
• Did a balance pass on the difficulty modes - harder modes now have a higher difficulty. Good luck!
  
• Improved VFX and lighting systems, which will improve both the visual look and the performance of the game.
  
• Added an overview of the game’s control scheme in the options menu
  
• And LOTS more!

We’ve created a new way to support the future development of Kingdom and we’re calling this The Royal Wardrobe – it is a new option in Kingdom Two Crowns that offers new looks for your Monarch. We’ve put together a total of six new skins, inspired by both the original Medieval setting and the new ancient Greece-themed setting. You can however use them in all settings, except for Dead Lands (since in that one the Monarchs are named characters!). The skins are purely cosmetic with no extra in-game functionality. Rather it’s an additional means for players to support the future development of Kingdom. We did allow ourselves to be a bit sillier with this one than we usually are, especially with the Trojan Monarch. We hope you’ll like this very genuine and real Monarch as much as we do!

Coming to you from sunny Stockholm - is me, game director Angelica Norgren. First, a huge thank you for sharing your excitement now that we finally have a release date for Call of Olympus. I love reading all your comments and yes - October 8th cannot come soon enough!

I have exciting news! You can now feast your ears on not one, not two - but three!! enthralling tracks from the upcoming soundtrack composed by Andreas Hald. From the very start of this project, we knew the music would be essential for the game experience. We needed alluring melodies that would sing of secrets hidden deep within the darkest of forests, grieving strings for the mournful souls that lost their way, and a heroic call to arms to drum up courage against the ever-coming hordes of Greed. Using a wide range of both new and old instruments Andreas gave us all of that and even more, as he captured a Mediterranean feeling of warmth and the awe-inspiring beauty of a mythical world long past. The single is called "Marble Beauty" and you should be able to find it on your go-to music service through this link: https://lnk.to/marblebeauty Let us know what you think!

Behind the scenes of what has gone into the creation of the music...

Some of you might have spotted a few mysterious achievements on the Kingdom Two Crowns page here on Steam. Yes - we have been teasing the upcoming release! I am a little bit sad to say that "Win the final space battle using only the mecha-dolphin armada" is not a real achievement, but I am very happy to let you know that we will soon update the list with the actual achievements. Like "Hero of Olympus" - a true test for the most cunning crown protectors, an achievement that requires you to complete the whole Call of Olympus campaign in a single reign! Other achievements such as "Gift of Prometheus" and "That's Not Very Gneiss" will be more focused on experimenting with new abilities and strategies. The names might give you a clue as to what to do...!

I wonder what they might mean...

Later this week we will share more details on the 2.0 update which will bring quality-of-life updates across all campaigns in Kingdom Two Crowns!

I can’t wait to share more with you soon! In the meantime, prepare your steeds for legendary adventures through Call of Olympus🔥
