ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED has now entered Phase 2 of its closed beta, and the game itself contains a multitude of updates and additions from the previous version, providing a hugely upgraded gameplay experience. Here’s just a small sampling of what beta players old and new can expect:

• Bosses now spawn during minion waves (starting when a Warcamp gets to level three)
• There is an entirely new weaver model for character upgrades
• Heroes level and become more powerful during matches
• Combat is more interesting and is easier to parse
• Hero abilities have been completely reworked
• Players can now customize their Hero builds with traits that can benefit heroes and or teammates.
• Cliffside Clash (2 Lane Map) has been refined, and a new Orc-themed map called Unchained Fortress has been added
• Ranged combat is far more rewarding and players will have an easier time fighting off other heroes with ranged abilities
• Card packs and gibs have been replaced with a simple, direct “purchase with skulls” system
• There are numerous new Traps including Grinders and Barricades
• The offensive and defensive jobs are split up now, allowing far more control and strategy around Trap-building and Minion-leading roles players want to pursue
• The Minion model is brand-new. A large number of uninteresting choices (particularly with some Minions, items, and Traps) have been replaced by gameplay elements that make matches more interesting

InnoGames just implemented a new feature into its online strategy game Tribal Wars 2, which significantly speeds up the game progress in the beginning. From now on, players will be able to get a second village by fulfilling quests within five days. Additional villages will have be captured like before. With this updated system, players will reach the mid-game quicker.

“Tribal Wars 2 is essentially about managing a whole empire, moving troops from one village to the other and performing strategic attacks on enemies”, InnoGames’ Senior Product Manager Nino Protic explains. “However, it currently takes players up to two weeks until they have their second village and know this gaming experience. We wanted to change this so players will now get the full gaming experience way quicker and easier.”
