Game Updates⭐ Featured🕯️ Winter Solstice in the World of Kaladan
As the longest night descends upon Kaladan, we share major updates: 50 units sold, new artwork previews, rule changes, and the full rulebook is now online!
🕯️ Winter Solstice in the World of Kaladan
The longest night of the year is upon us.
In Kaladan, as the sun dips below the horizon and darkness claims the land, fires are lit. Not in fear, but in defiance. In remembrance. In hope.
This is the night when the boundaries between realms grow thin. When ancient powers stir. When generals gather their forces, knowing that the battles ahead will shape the fate of all.
And on this Winter Solstice, we bring you an update, a reflection on what has been, and a glimpse of what's to come.
📊 Total Sales: 50 Sold, 450 to Go
We've crossed the 50-unit mark, a milestone built on trust, passion, and the support of early believers. That's 10% of the way to our 500-unit goal.
We're still running zero paid ads. Every sale has come from word of mouth, organic reach, and the community rallying behind this vision.
But that's about to change.
In January, we launch our ad campaigns. The gates will open wider. More generals will discover Kaladan. And we'll push toward that 500-unit threshold with everything we've got.
If you've been considering joining, now is the time. Early backers are shaping this world, and their voices matter.
🎨 Production Update and New Art Previews
The art for Generals of Kaladan is evolving, and we're thrilled to share three stunning previews with you. Each piece captures the essence of these legendary generals. From the raw power of Kimba's sketch to the refined majesty of Khalis's final artwork, these characters are coming to life in ways that honor the depth of their stories.
Kimba (Sketch)
Khalis (Final)
Laurielle (Colored Sketch)
More art is on the way. We're working with talented artists to bring every general, every realm, and every battle to life.
🏭 Manufacturer Update: Exploring New Partners
We've been in discussions with Nilco Egypt, but their response times have been slower than we'd like. We need a partner who shares our urgency and commitment to quality.
So, we're now negotiating with a new manufacturing partner in China, one with a proven track record in producing high-quality tabletop games. We'll have more details to share soon.
Quality and timelines matter. We're not rushing this, but we're also not waiting around. We'll keep you updated every step of the way.
📖 Major Rule Changes and Full Rulebook Online
The rules have been refined, balanced, and expanded. Here's what's new:
Key Changes:
- Subjugation Rule: A new strategic layer that adds depth to conquest and diplomacy
- Ghost Mode: Fallen generals can still influence the battlefield in spectral form
- Event Cards Rebalanced: Fewer negative cards, more strategic choices, better gameplay flow
The full rulebook is now live and online. Whether you're a new player or a seasoned general, you can dive into the mechanics, strategies, and lore of Kaladan anytime.
🏆 Hall of Fame and Patron Support
We've added a Hall of Fame page to honor our early backers. When you pre-order Generals of Kaladan, you'll be invited to join this legendary roster.

👑 King Lionet: Art Transition and Community Resilience
Our partners at King Lionet have been navigating challenging times. Recent flooding in Sri Lanka has displaced some of their team and cut off others from communication.
Despite these hardships, they continue to work with us, and we're grateful for their dedication.
Important Update: King Lionet is transitioning from AI-generated placeholder art to artwork created by real artists. This shift aligns with our commitment to authenticity and quality. We're honored to be part of this evolution.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the flooding. Stay strong. We're in this together.
🎵 The Soundtrack of Kaladan
The music of Kaladan is here, and it's epic.
We've released the official soundtrack featuring themes for each realm, battle anthems, and atmospheric tracks that bring the world to life.

🔥 Closing Thoughts
The longest night is here, but the fire burns bright.
We're 50 units in. 450 to go. Ads launch in January. Art is evolving. Rules are refined. The rulebook is live. The soundtrack is epic. And the community is growing stronger every day.
This is just the beginning.
Stay strong. Stay sharp. And get ready for what's coming.
