Patch 3.3.5

Patch 3.3.5 was officially released on 10th August 2017

Developer's Introduction
3.3.5 is officially here! We planned to have this out weeks ago, but there always seemed to be "just one more thing" to add. The update adds some major new modding features like hi-res maps and support for importing units from Hegemony Rome, plus a handful of interface and gameplay adjustments.

Read below for all of the changes and drop us an e-mail at help@longbowgames.com if you have any problems.

And, if you haven't already, check out the Steam workshop to see some of the amazing work the community has been doing, including the latest Classical World mod (CW4) that uses the new Hegemony Rome import feature in 3.3.5 (you'll need to own Hegemony Rome and have it installed for this to work).

I've also got to drop a quick plug for our newly announced adventure game Golem! It's quite a departure from Hegemony, but if it goes well it will open up a lot more options for a future Hegemony IV so if you're up for something different or know someone else who might be please pass along the link.

And finally, we are also working on the next expansion for Hegemony III - it doesn't have an official release date yet but we're hoping to at least get a few details out in the coming weeks so stay tuned.
