That said, we have released the beta AI Overhaul plus general game fixes to Slitherine, who will determine patch release date.

As mentioned in another post, we hear you. We are working on a complete AI overhaul--not a tweaking of the current AI, but rebuilding it from the ground-up. If you like the lore, the new AI will also feature unique personalities for each realm. Stay tuned!

Good Hunting!

We are developing an AI overhaul. This isn't tweaking the current AI, but redoing it from the ground-up. Think of it as Sovereignty Redone. Of note, each realm will have its own personality reflecting the underlying lore. This will be the biggest update since release. More to come... Good hunting! B...

They can also gain some medals over time that give them limited offensive capabilities...

Just a bit more detail for you.
Units automatically regain 10 Life per point of their Heal stat per turn that they are not in battle.

The beta patch on steam now makes the Sonneneve easier, with respect to keeping Sirucil alive.
This is actually part of a general fix, that makes any "keep X Realm alive" a bit more manageable.

It has more to do with your economy value totals and the buildings in them.

You can build buildings within provinces by clicking the upgrade button at the bottom of the campaign UI panel.
You'll need a Tier 1 building before you can build a Tier 2, and so on...

The ability to learn 6 spells is intended. This presents a hard choice in how you wish to advance through the tree. You must plan carefully.

Due to it's proposed economic bonus, perhaps it would be an Outpost.

Another thought is that it would function as a lesser Capital in terms of economic fall-off of provinces as they lie further from the Capital.

Agreed on the current state of AI vs Human. Iron Barony can really swamp enemies in the hands of a human, but it has a hard time dealing on the same level as AI. Vessoi is in a similar predicament.

We'll look hard into changes that make sense for these realms through EA.

The game as it is right now, heavily favors large blocks of infantry, with a couple trebuchets to back them up. For 2.0, we're doing some rebalancing to encourage more variance of tactics among the various combined arms that Sovereignty has to offer. In addition, we feel that both Khazoth and the 3 ...

Sounds reasonable.

I should add that this is especially useful for realms such as Iron Barony, which can raise hordes of weaker units. Eventually, defenders just get worn down. Meanwhile, Iron Barony has many units with the Expendable ability. Destroy one, and regain the gold to raise another. This, combined with rapi...

Well, you can do that in waves, attacking from 3 provinces in separate battles in the same turn. I realize this isn't combining forces for a massive battle, but one army getting attacked 3 times in the same turn can be very tough even on a seasoned army. Offensively, if you have pans to overwhelm a ...

The realms you mentioned represent high civilization in Sovereignty, where monsters have been largely eradicated and Man is ascendant. In the wilder, untamed realms, monsters and "fantasy" style units still may be found in the ranks. How will the future be shaped? Will a Hadrigel or Myrmon...

There is a bug currently with Shadowlands permanently toggling Phantom.

Everyone will have the same number of spells to learn. Elves tend to learn them faster due to magic heavy landmarks.

The magic system is slated for an overhaul sometime after EA 2.0. In broad brush strokes, spells will have longer recharge time, but their recharge will be independent of one another. This means that as you become more magically powerful, you can start cycling multiple spells simultaneously, rather ...
