G’day Forts Fans!

Well, it’s been a long year, with a lot of bullets fired, and many a fort coming tumbling down. We hope you have enjoyed all the extra features and functionalty we have brought you, and all the great output from the modding community.

The EarthWork Games team will be taking a break for a couple of weeks to recharge. We have big plans for next year, but in the meantime we’re bringing you the last fixes of the year, along with a sprinkle of festive spirit to the game…
