On the in-game option menu (‘O’ key to open), you can now toggle the option of automatically prompting diplomatic requests from allies and friendly kingdoms.   (You may also CTRL-T to toggle this option, without opening the option menu.)

The mouse scrolling method option, which was originally available on the in-game option menu, can now be changed using the ‘CTRL-L’ hot key during the game.

Gameplay Balance Improvements:

Damaged independent Fryhtan structures will be repaired slowly on their own over time.

It will play a notification sound when you define a group with CTRL 1 to 9.

To recall a group and center the map view on the group, press the numeric key twice (e.g. press ‘1’ twice to recall the group #1)

Gameplay Balance Improvement

Decreased the tendency for AI kingdoms to surrender to each other.

AI kingdoms will tend less to declare war on you.

Added a new column called “Relation Level” on the Kingdoms report, showing your relation level with other kingdoms. This indicator gives you new insights on the diplomatic situation.

The following are two examples of comprehending the diplomatic situation with the aid of this new indicator:

1.      When you propose a friendly treaty to an AI kingdom, it will only consider your offer if your relation level with the AI kingdom is higher than zero.

2.      When your relation level with a friend or allied AI kingdom drops to a low level, there will be higher possibilities for them to terminate the existing friendly or alliance treaty with you.

In a single player game, when an allied or friendly kingdom sends you a request, it will automatically pop up the Accept/Reject window and pause the game. This is to prevent the situation where you missed the requests from AI kingdoms leading to the unintentionally outcome of their terminating the alliance/friend treaty with you.

An AI kingdom will now always accept your financial aid if you offer any to it. For instance, instead of going into war with the Fryhtans yourself, you may sponsor an AI alliance to battle the Fryhtans.

New Optional Launch Game Parameters

If the game cannot launch successfully, you may use the following new game launch parameters for forcing the game to start in windowed mode or full screen mode.

“–w” to force the game to start in windowed mode.

“–f” to force the game to start in full screen mode.

Bug fixes

Fixed a display problem with research options on the Science of Tower building.

Fixed a crash bug with the campaign map screen.

Fixed various tutorial bugs.

Fixed the attacking sounds of Greek units. 

Improvements Since Version 2.07K:

It fixes the low frame rate issue. 

Improvements Since Version 2.07G:

The costs of breeding new Fryhtan (monster) units have been increased for improved gameplay balance.

The issue that some users have previously reported about the Fryhtans being too aggressive in attacking the humans has thus been resolved. Attacks from Fryhtans will be less frequent.  

With this change, the player will be able to focus on long term strategic planning for building an empire, bringing Seven Kingdoms 2 HD’s pace of gameplay closer to the original Seven Kingdoms.  

We also recommend you to try out the new “Large Map” mode (4 times as larger as the original map) that comes with the HD version. These new settings together add even more strategic depth to the game. 

Improvements since version 2.06:

Added support for the following screen resolutions:

·        1280×800 (16:10 aspect ratio)

·        1366×768 (16:9 aspect ratio)

·        1440×900 (16:10 aspect ratio)

·        1680 x 1050 (16:10 aspect ratio)

Now you can press either F10 key or ESC key to bring up the menu in the game.

It is now possible to optionally access the original 7K2 DirectPlay multiplayer game setup menu, although we still recommend using GameRanger for a better experience.

When you click the “Multiplayer” option on the main menu, it will pop up a window asking you to select either “GameRanger” or “DirectPlay”.

Fixed the problem with running the game on Windows XP.

Fixed the problem with black borders on some screen modes.
