Greetings {username}

Welcome to our weekly CityStates newsletter. Through this, we will keep you updated with the latest exciting developments for CityStates games, our community events as well as to give our passionate community the chance to interact with the team or see some fantastic behind the scenes work done!

It’s hard to believe we’re already in January, but with events like the pack opening and the beta test right around the corner it’s shaping up to be another exciting month. Many of you are looking forward to opening your packs and we’re happy to be able to set a date for this event, and if you haven’t already guessed, there will be more prizes up for grabs for those taking part!

We have also made some big changes to combat in CityStates: Medieval PVP in preparation for the beta which will add new layers of decision making as well as implementing mechanics for certain units that give them more of an identity.

Weekly Game Update Summary

It’s been another busy week of testing for our team and we have not only made further strides when it comes to balancing the game, but we have also introduced new mechanics to make gameplay more engaging and strategic. We have continued to publish our balancing update articles which focus on these changes with our latest article (part 3) now available which focuses on giving melee units more of an identity as well as the ability to capture enemy tiles!

Latest Balance Updates on Medium

In addition to reading our articles and developer logs. You can also check out FruitGuru’s YouTube channel where he discusses the game in more detail, it’s the perfect place for those of you who will be playing in the beta to get prepared or those of you curious about how specific mechanics in CS:M work.

CSM Token

The CSM token represents ownership of the CityStates IP. Holders of CSM not only show their support for the brand but will also receive royalties in the future for their participation in DAO governance of the IP development.

We’re really excited for the pack opening event later this week and everything else this month will bring, most of all the CityStates: Medieval PVP beta test! We’re also running a number of giveaways on our social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, so if you haven’t managed to get a Silver or Bronze VIP pass, don’t worry because there’s still time to win one!

And of course, it wouldn’t be a complete newsletter without us thanking our amazing community and taking this chance to wish you all a wonderful 2022, both in the real world and in CityStates Medieval!
