| Seven Kingdoms 2 HD v2.07 Patch Released | 2015-02-08 | Seven Kingdoms 2 HD v2.07 Improvements: 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.

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. T |
