The Fertile Crescent
Announcing Multiplayer Support
On 20th of September 2018 we are releasing our first multiplayer build!
From this date you will find a version of The Fertile Crescent with multiplayer support here on itch.io.
To begin with you will be able to create or join 1v1 games.
That's not the only improvement being added though!
What else?
We are adding our own music track to the game. In addition, we have started adding sound effects. This makes us very excited. Let us know what you think!
Have you ever played a decent RTS game with no mini map? Neither have we! Finally you'll have a minimap at your disposal.
We've also added a new unit (Scout) to balance out early-game for multiplayer. You will start the game with a Scout instead of a Slinger.
Other than that, we have implemented lots of small and subtle improvements to unit behaviour, resource harvesting, balance, menus, and more. Plus bug fixes!
Examples are confining the mouse cursor to the game screen when multiple screens are used, units detecting enemy units quicker, small map size being increased from 70x70 to 80x80 tiles and letting you press ESCAPE to open pause menu.
How to find games?
Either you can ask a friend, or you can join our official Discord channel and ask for someone to play with:
