Theale, UK – 18 August, 2022: The world of Iron Harvest is getting bigger once more: The free addon that started the World Campaign Map in June is getting an update, including a new map and new starting scenarios.
With a free update in June, the award-winning RTS Iron Harvest kicked off the World Map Campaign Mode. The well-balanced mix of turn-based and real-time strategy garnered a lot of praise from players thanks to its replayability with over 40 new missions to start.
Giving players even more to sink their teeth into, Iron Harvest now gets a new world campaign map: Archipelago. Set up as a small continent, some regions on the exterior are connected while those on the inside are separated by several bodies of water. The continent’s center is the key to success, so it’s the hard fought-over heart of the map.
Archipelago will be accompanied by four new starting scenarios:
· Us or them: The single enemy faction in the west is slowly expanding and getting dangerously close to two areas of importance on this archipelago.
· Pioneers: The major factions are in a race to colonize and conquer new lands. Seize as many regions as possible before the other factions take the new lands for themselves.
· Scattered Kingdom: Each faction's territory is fragmented. You must put down the natives’ uprising and reunite – and potentially expand – the realm.
· Custom: Play your way, select which faction begins where, their starting strength, difficulty and victory goals.
Players who haven’t entered a mech cabin yet soon get the chance to go on a test drive: Iron Harvest’s base game will be playable for free 18-21 August on Steam.
