Our elves have been busy in the workshop this holiday season!



Introducing a brand new map, Les Champs de Losque! This is the first map by community member Cpt. Caverne. We'd like to thank everyone who participated in the map's beta test earlier in the year and provided helpful feedback! We will monitor how the map plays and squash any bugs or game-play issues that might surface in the coming days.

In addition to this brand new map, a new Clash version of Jurques has also been slipped in your stocking!

You can see the full change log below.

And now for a personal aside:

It's around this time of year that we reflect on how we are so grateful to be able to work together and build on a game that has endured for over 13 years. The gaming landscape has changed so much since 2008, and it's an increasingly rare thing that a small dedicated group of people would continue to volunteer their precious time and talents to build upon and improve this free mod.

Thank you to all of our developers and players, past, present, and future.



We hope you all stay warm and safe this season.

See you on the battlefield,
Darklight Games
