Hello Kakele community!

It is time to share with you the planned expansion 4.9 changes!

First things first, we decided to rename the expansion 4.9 to 2024.3. This new name is clearer and intuitive. From now on, we will use this template for future expansions (2025.1, 2025.2, etc..).

We worked around the clock to make this expansion available for you at the end of this year. It is a shorter expansion, but with several new features and content!

The year-end expansion theme focuses on orcs! With their brutality and hostility, they bring a variety of new types, from subordinates to fierce leaders. The expansion presents a story entirely dedicated to orcs, with connections to various regions of the game. The orcs are eagerly awaiting the heroes of the Kakele kingdom; in Walfendah, their base will be ready to challenge both beginner and veteran players.

Finally, you can find all changes below, organized by areas. Don’t rush, read at your own pace!
