The developers from Thunderoak Interactive have released the latest update #8 for classic RTS Godsworn. Set during the time of the Northern Crusades, the game lets you take control of a divine hero. It is up to you to gather worshippers, rally your armies, and crush your enemies to claim these lands.
In the latest update, the team added not one, but two maps. The first is the one that the Discord community voted for: Guardians of Treiden, a 1-6 player challenge of the RPG type where you play using only one hero. This time, there are already 2 factions fighting between each other, and you must tip the scales in the favor of the one you choose to join.
Additionally, the developers have decided to turn the challenge map into a 2v2 skirmish map called Treiden. The map has a unique aspect where one of the players in the team is much more secluded and protected behind their teammate.
