Update 1.16

  • Updated

Welcome to Update 1.16!

The Lost Ten-Thousand.

They were one of the largest armies mustered by any faction in the world. The Dawning Sun sent them to fight the dwarven clans to their West.  The entire army, however, was swallowed up by the earth -- falling prey to a trap laid by the dwarves. Those that survived found themselves in a mysterious underground realm full of new dangers. The warlike servants of the Dawning Sun ravaged through the Underworld - all to die, except for Shun.

The damage in the Underworld caused by the Lost Ten-Thousand and Shun in particular would eventually lead to the Curse.

This month's update features the next part of Chapter 4 in the campaign, the return of the industrious gnomes in the Festival of the Hive, and enhancements to Onslaught.
