Kingdom: Two Crowns Adds Greek Mythology with Epic ‘Call of Olympus’ DLC

Hold onto your crowns, folks! Kingdom: Two Crowns just got a whole lot bigger, and we mean epic. The latest expansion, Call of Olympus, dives into rich Greek mythology, offering players a fresh mythical twist on the beloved strategy and resource management game. If you’ve been looking for a reason to return to your kingdom, now’s the perfect time.

What’s New in Call of Olympus?

Released on October 8, 2024, this major update invites players into a new mythological setting, where gods and legends influence the landscape. Expect all-new enemies and challenges based on iconic figures from Greek myths, adding layers of intrigue and danger to the classic gameplay formula. According to Raw Fury and Fury Studios, this content isn’t just for show—it’s designed to change the way you approach every decision in your kingdom.

The update introduces several stunning additions to the world, with powerful gods like Zeus and Hades—each providing unique challenges and blessings. You’ll have to rethink your strategies as these divine forces play a part in both your defense and expansion efforts. There’s a sense of awe as you face mythologically inspired enemies and decide how to best harness or counter their otherworldly power.

Free 2.0 Update Brings Welcome Changes

On top of the new DLC, a significant free 2.0 update has been rolled out, bringing a respectable number of quality-of-life improvements. From smoother gameplay mechanics to UI enhancements, the update focuses on making the day-to-day operations of running your kingdom even more seamless. Longtime players will appreciate the streamlining of certain actions and improved AI behaviors, keeping your citizens and defenses running like clockwork.

This update also fine-tunes economic balance and building mechanics, making the increasingly complex decision-making process feel more natural. Saving resources, building, and allocating workers is now more intuitive, allowing you to focus more on the bigger picture rather than micromanaging.

Two New Paid Cosmetic DLC Packs

For players looking to add even more flair to their experience, there are two paid cosmetic DLC packs now available. These packs let you further customize the look of your kingdom and your mounts, ensuring that your ruler stands out while leading the charge. From regal armors to majestic steeds, this cosmetic DLC is for players who want their kingdoms to reflect their style. It’s optional, but it certainly adds a bit of extra flavor to your adventure.

Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned monarch, this update provides something for everyone. New players can jump in and enjoy the revamped quality-of-life features, while veterans will relish the added depth and mythical content.

Gameplay Tips: Survive and Thrive

To help you navigate some of the new challenges in the Call of Olympus update, here are some quick tips for getting the most out of your reign:

  1. Embrace Divine Alliances: Pay attention to the blessings you receive from the gods. Zeus’s lightning can be a game-changer when defending against large enemy waves, while Hades might offer darker, more subtle advantages that could turn the tide of battle.

  2. Economy First: Resource management is still king in Kingdom: Two Crowns. Make sure your economy is strong before you dive into building upgrades. Now more than ever, you’ll need to strike a balance between expansion and conserving resources for emergencies.

  3. Upgrade Strategically: The updated building mechanics reward careful planning. Prioritize defensive structures like walls and towers when you’re facing newer, stronger mythical enemies.

  4. Know Your Mounts: With the new DLC, additional mounts come into play. Choosing the right one will heavily affect the way you traverse the map, attack enemies, and gather resources. Experiment with different options to find what suits your style best.
