Think your favourite unit is under powered? Want to change a faction's colour or create a whole new skill tree? Check out the Hegemony III workshop over on Steam! Since the last update we've been posting new mods once a week along with a blog post explaining how you can make and share your own. If you've got any questions on how to make or use a mod feel free to e-mail us or post a note in the workshop forums and we'd be more than happy to help get you started.

It's that time again! While our friends to the south are enjoying their turkey, the rest of us can take advantage of all the deals over on Steam in their annual Fall sale.

For all the latest news, check out the ongoing beta and join in the conversation on Steam. For those still waiting on codes, we just sent out a new batch on the weekend, but there's still lot's left to do in the next few weeks and we hope to send out at least one more round before launch.

It's that time again! Just in time for summer vacation we're excited to announce that we're looking for players to help us with the final play-testing and balancing of Hegemony III. All the cities and resources are on the map and we're just wrapping up the last units (see phalangites and hypaspists on left), but with the biggest and most dynamic Hegemony sandbox ever there's no way we can playtest everything as thoroughly as we want.

One more week to enter the Hegemony portrait contest and win a custom hand-drawn avatar in Hegemony III. We wouldn't have been able to make these games if it wasn't for all the community has done to spread the word about Hegemony over the years, so we wanted to give you guys the chance to dig up those let's plays, reviews, AARs or anything else you've posted about Hegemony and use them to win something really cool. Check out the contest page for all the details on how to enter.

And if you haven't discovered the new wiki yet, head on over to Gamepedia and take a look. We're just starting to fill it out, but by the time we launch we're hoping to make it your one-stop-shop for everything Hegemony III from history to tactics to modding.

Calling all generals! Share with us your tales of victory and conquest for a chance to win a custom portrait in Hegemony III. Send us a link to your Hegemony Let's Plays, blogs, game diaries, after-action reports, fan art, reviews or other long-form posts and help us spread the word about Hegemony. Each player who submits a qualifying post along with a profile selfie and faction preference (Gallic, Roman, Etruscan or Greek) will be entered into a draw, and at the end of the month we'll randomly select half a dozen (6) entries to have a custom portrait drawn by Longbow artists to be included in the final release of Hegemony III.

Please read all of the rules before submitting an entry. The contest is open until 11:59PM EST on June 30th, 2015.

While most of the news these days has been about Hegemony III, we're eager to announce today the official release of version 2.2.2 of Hegemony Rome. For those who haven't been following the betas over the last few months, this new update contains a ton of improvements ranging from re-balancing of the mercenary system to better support for extra wide monitors and new controls for unit groups. For the full list check out the changelog over on Steam.
