About the Game

Ancient wilds have awakened. Insane prophets predict a coming apocalypse. Blood cults openly perform sacrifices... You will lead the last army of the Order of the Gatekeepers and stop the coming chaos. Not just humans are ready to join your banners, but also tough dwarves, mysterious elvers and half-wild turans. But keep in mind that not everyone will be happy to fight side by side with other races.
Travel across an open world full of mysteries and dangers. Complete quests. Find rare artifacts and equip your soldiers with them. Improve unit stats, learn new active and passive skills.
Show your tactical genius in challenging turn-based battles. For each battle, choose the fighters who are most suited to take on specific opponents. Consider unit line of sight, facing, morale and accumulated fatigue. Change the battlefield: build barricades, dig ditches, freeze rivers, chop down trees. When fighting night creatures, make fire and light the battlefield. Crush your enemies with all the power of iron and magic!

Detailed combat system takes into account unit morale and fatigue, as well as facing and line of sight, level of illumination of each cell of the battlefield, weather effects and much more.
Interactive environment: almost every object on the battlefield can be interacted with.
Before the start of the battle, you can use one-time scrolls to make it rain, poison enemies or build a catapult.
Open world: despite the presence of a story campaign, you decide where to send your army.
Each playthrough is unique: quests, random battles, goods in cities and much more are all randomly generated.
Ability to adjust the game to your liking: choose the overall difficulty level plus adjust hit chance, the amount of HP, rewards received and much more.
Convenient unit and map editor. You can create your own missions and share them with other players.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
We have officially added a Borderless Windowed display mode. This feature will permanently prevent the game from minimizing unexpectedly due to background pop-up messages or OS notifications.
Fixes:
Improved the game's overall stability.
Misc:When firing a catapult, the targeting stone marker will now automatically disappear after 2 minutes instead of 7 seconds.
Best regards,

We have received a lot of player feedback regarding the deserter mechanic, where units would desert the army due to low Mood. In our original design, desertion is a crucial mechanic that forces the player to genuinely care for their warriors — hiring units with the "Soul of Company" trait, avoiding interracial conflicts within the roster, visiting towns, and regularly throwing feasts...
In this patch, we have added a toggle in the game options to enable or disable desertion at will. By default, this option will now be turned off. However, we highly recommend that all hardcore veterans enable it! Please check your settings menu under the Gameplay tab.
Balance:
• Added a correlation between Mood drop and the wildness of the current terrain. Overall, unit Mood will now deplete slower.
Fixes:
• Slightly improved the game's overall technical stability.
• Delayed or missing endgame achievements should now unlock properly (simply load the save file right after completing the final story mission).
Misc:
• The custom cursor size now dynamically respects your chosen GUI scale. It will appear larger on high-resolution/4K monitors and scale down on smaller screens.
• Improved the map generator logic for layout regions containing mountain plateaus.
Best regards,
Crasleen Games
We have rolled out a fresh 1.0.2 update based on your feedback and reports from the launch days. Our goal is to make the start of the campaign smoother and the gameplay more comfortable.
Fixes:
- endgame achievement now unlocks correctly.
Balance:
- increased the amount of easy contracts.
- more random missions are now generated at the beginning of the game.
- decreased the probability of plagues appearing in towns. The plague chance in Dwarven and especially Elfers settlements has been reduced significantly.
Misc:
- high environmental objects that obstruct your view of Cornflower Dust or catapults now become semi-transparent.
We have rolled out a quick hotfix 1.0.1 to improve overall performance.
What's changed:
• Minor game stability improvements.
• Small optimization tweaks.
Thank you for your support!

• Added Ukrainian language support
• Added High Contrast mode to Colorblind settings
Fixes:
• Fixed a rare crash/error with cobweb destruction
• Fixed several typos
• Improved German and French localizations
• Fixed an issue where game focus failed to return when switching from an in-game hyperlink back to the game
We are currently working on adding Steam Workshop support.
We have added full support for colorblind modes. About 8% of men experience color vision deficiency, and we want to ensure every player can enjoy Veterum comfortably.
Three hardware-accelerated modes based on scientific Dalton Shift matrices are now available:
• Protanopia (Red-Blind support)
• Deuteranopia (Green-Blind support)
• Tritanopia (Blue-Blind support)
This algorithm shifts problematic spectrums into high-contrast tones. You can toggle this setting anytime in the Graphics menu.
Other Changes:
• The Main Menu has been completely redesigned.
• Units with 3 permanent awards can now accept a newly earned award by discarding one of their older traits.
• Reduced the outbreak chance of plagues in cities.
• Added automatic GUI auto-scaling: if the selected GUI scale is too large for the monitor, the game will automatically downscale it to fit the screen.
• Various minor fixes and polish.
Good luck on the battlefield!
Best regards,
Crasleen Games
