Fort Triumph Early Access - Skirmish - Let's Play v0.10.2

Fort Triumph has just had a major update that's a real game changer. Let's look at how Skirmish will change how we play the game. Happy Holidays, Adventurers! Lots of love from the team, and we hope everyone gets some time to rest, spend time with loved ones, and of course play some games :steamhappy: To send you off properly, we have a big one for you today, including some meaningful steps made in the strategic gameplay front (see previous update for more on what's behind it). As ever - we thank you for the fantastic feedback you have been providing us with, both directly and in our Discord[discord.gg]. You are the reason we can move this fast on a new concept, and we appreciate it, a lot. New Strategic Game Mode A new strategic Skirmish mode is now available, building on what we've learned from the last testing phase. In this mode, you will choose one of four factions and face off against an AI faction across the map. There are no story missions in this build, but we do intend to reintroduce them fully or partially in future builds once we lock down this aspect of the game. And now the twist - the world map itself is becoming procedural to support this new mode, making it interesting and different in every playthrough. Naturally it will start off less fancy than the previous static map, especially during testing, but we intend to work on it and add more variations and maps steadily. For those who enjoy the story missions more, you can play them at any time by switching the game to a newly opened 'Legacy' branch. That branch will maintain version 0.9.2.2 including the story missions until they are reintroduced and you are welcome to enjoy them. To access the Legacy branch, follow these steps: Right click Fort Triumph in your Steam game library. Select 'Properties'. Choose the 'Betas' tab. Expand the dropdown menu and look for the legacy entry (see image). Select this branch, let Steam download necessary game files. Open Fort Triumph normally to run the legacy build At any time, you may revert back to the normal release in the same dropdown menu (Choose 'none'). Fort Triumph in the Developers own words: Often dubbed a “Fantasy XCOM”, Fort Triumph is a tactical RPG emphasizing the use of Environmental Interactions to create rich, challenging and rewarding tactical gameplay. In Fort Triumph, every crate and every tree is a potential weapon in the hands of experienced tacticians: in order to succeed, you will have to burn, freeze, topple, kick around or outright destroy the scenery at the right moment. Our game includes: Hardcore tactical turn-based gameplay. Fully Interactive environments at your disposal. Heroes evolving by learning new abilities from their class skilltree. Non-linear, contextually generated missions and quests. Strategic gameplay and world map exploration.

I like to give background to characters beyond what is provided by games and weave a narrative around that. It often ends up in weird and sometimes interesting places. No one knows where this flight of imagination will take us, not even me. But why not join me for the ride? **** Subscribe to be kept up to date with new episodes and Let's Plays. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLr8pCQPEXrmpA6eOpsN3Cg?sub_confirmation=1 If you enjoyed this video please consider leaving a like and a comment.
