- 55 handcrafted levels with each one being harder than the previous

- A lot different mechanics that keep you interested throughout the whole game

  New save system

  I've finally been able to change the old save system of the game! If you didn't know, in the old system everything was saved in the registry. Now it is saved in a file which is located here: AppData\LocalLow\LiftyGames\Riddles And Sieges\ The file name is SavedData.sav. The system itself wasn't very hard to do, but the reason I didn't do it before because I didn't want anyone to lose their progress. But now I was able to make the progress from the registry transfer to this file when you will launch the game after this update. So don't worry, you will not lose your progress. (At least every test showed progress being transfered properly). This also means that now there is steam cloud support! So you don't have to worry about losing your save file. Also work is underway on a new update, which will bring a new zone, that is pretty unique compared to all of the other ones. That is all for now!

  Secrets Of The Ancients Update

  After defeating everyone that has opposed your kingdom, the next thing to do was to get richer, of course. And what better way to do so, than to find the remains of an ancient civilization, that was swimming in gold, but has been long gone. What is new? Secrets Of The Ancients update brings 15 new levels to Riddles & Sieges, as well as other additional content! New zones to explore and complete: Spring, Arrow Trap and Firespitter! As always, all these zones have 5 leves each, containing different new main mechanics, as well as additional means of defense. Also this new zone has something that hasn't been done in the game before: a secret level! Something is hidden in some of those levels. Can you be the chosen one to finally open the ancient temple of secrets? So what are these new mechanics? Spring: It is a small wooden box with a metal spring attached to it. You probably already guessed what it does, but in case you didn't - it launches projectiles when the fall onto it. So basically, it gives another chance to any projectile that comes in contact with it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43767678/0b7309bb2a1af4043bf11b849810de0445f6722b.gif Arrow Trap: An old trap used by the ancients to guard their temples from unwanted trespassers. They were made from very dense material, which makes them almost impossible to destroy. These traps work like a ballista does, but with the exception that they do not get destroyed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43767678/c8d55ba929857b6d589aa9b1becf5420b55d6bf5.gif Firespitter: Another piece of ancient weaponry, although much more advanced. This trap can sense everything, that is in front of it. As soon as there are any irregularities, it shoots a flaming ball forward, burning everyone in its way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43767678/0bb43054e38ee2600e1707eb3d019f681e3452fa.gif New defense building: Torch Tower Torches were very important in the lives of the ancients, as they believed that fire was the best creation of the world itself, and the most useful one aswell...
