Greetings, Commanders!

Long time no see, but we have not forgotten about you, in fact, we have a brand new patch for you that includes compatibility with Windows 10 and 11, fixes to the occasional memory leaks and many more. The whole Change Log can be found below the article, we hope that you'll now be able to play the game as smoothly as possible.

And what's more, a tremendous Real-Time Strategy Steam sale has just started and Soldiers are a part of it. The game is discounted by 85% for the whole duration of the sale, which is one week.

Besides that, Soldiers' younger brother Men of War II that launched last year is too included in the sale and you are now able to get your hands on it for 35% off! And that's hell of a bargain, isn't it?

And just in case you already own both of these games, you might like the Men of War: Classic Collection that involves all the Men of War games and their discounts. There is also an additional discount of the bundle that applies even if you already own some of the games.
