Still no update on GOG :(

You could participate in a v106 Beta on GOG, but only with GOG Galaxy! *facepalm*

Quoting: Sir_DiealotYou are right, sorry. https://www.gog.com/game/kingdoms_castles [External Link]
Guess I want to play Tooth and Tail too badly.
I also watched this awesome tournament at the time: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/175487851 [External Link]

That could be the problem: "Currently multiplayer is available only between GOG.com users. Crossplay version will follow shortly." Sounds like another GOG Galaxy <censored>!

Quoting: Crazy PenguinMeh! Not on GOG yet :(

I like this two:
- Ogres can now disembark their ships and attack even if your land is completely walled off
- Viking ships now have catapults

Correction: No Linux version on GOG. I wonder what's the reason this time, since it doesn't have an online focus.

Sure that you have been on the correct store page? ;)

As you can find on the store page:
Works on: Windows (7, 8, 10), Mac OS X (10.10+) and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04)

Also the download version for the game is similar for all three platforms: 105r1
Edit: It should be something with 106 e.g. v106 or 106r1

Quoting: EmazzaIs cross platform online multiplayer supported?

With matching versions yes

So are now the latest versions matching?

No, it is still behind the Windows version, which is 1.76 if I get this right. Linux/Mac are 1.70.

Quoting: BrissePlayed the game a bit on Windows back when it launched, and honestly, it's kind of dissapointing. Intriguing at first, but with very dissapointing end-game and very little replay value. Gets booring really fast.

Exactly! Never understood the hype around that game.

Quoting: lucifertdarkHas anyone on here actually tested it on a steam machine? Just wondering.

Actually yes, I have the game running on a ZOTAC SN970, and that is how it looks like.

It is an huge difference to the Windows version with the same settings. The water looks like mud, Lightning is different, effects e.g. from torches causes lots of troubles, ...

I did wonder if there was some difference between performance on standard Linux & SteamOS, looks like it's the same. what you got there is what I get, muddy water, random flashes of light, BUT it is running better than it used to graphics aside.

There aren't differences between Linux & SteamOS. If there are differences then they are marginal.

For Comparison. The same area with Windows:

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTApart from the fact I really do not enjoy MMO's (I tried WOW and Guild Wars back in the days) I wonder why they still have to look like Gothic II with a few more light effects here and there.....

The problem is number of polygons. In a singleplayer game you have control over it and can optimize it to a fix number of polygons. You are in control of how many opbjects you have on your screen.

But in an MMO you can't control how many players you have on a screen. It can be one (you :)) or hundred. To solve this problem you have to work with a lower graphic quality.

Another advantage is that you have a larger potential player base available, which was one of the reasons that WoW was such an huge success. It runs smoothly on older machines too, not on high end PCs only.
