Humans dwell on Earth, while dwarves inhabit Nidavellir and elves nourish the world of Alfheim. These peoples struggle to carve a place for themselves with their tools of stone, bronze and iron. And perhaps one day they will meet one another, beyond the stars&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s a very retro RTS, with it feeling familiar to old Warcraft titles and other RTS games released around that time. With that in mind, it won&#8217;t be for everyone but I think it&#8217;s great. There&#8217;s multiple races, story-based scenarios, units earn experience and level up, a persistent hero feature and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Release highlights for 3.4.0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Playable Norse civilization<\/li>\n<li>Addition of Mason&#8217;s Shop buildings for non-dwarven civilizations<\/li>\n<li>Inclusion of Ballista\/Catapult Tower buildings<\/li>\n<li>New experience upgrades for some dwarven units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find it on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/370070\/Wyrmsun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Andrettin\/Wyrmsun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub<\/a>.
