'Warhammer: Mark of Chaos' - v1.6 Patch Coming Monday

by Rainier on Dec. 9, 2006 @ 4:45 a.m. PST

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a real-time strategy game set in the renowned Warhammer world, featuring epic battles within massive landscapes, while offering an astounding level of detail, from a bird's eye view down to the insignias on a warrior's armor.

There are no patches between 1.3 and 1.6, reasoning behind this is that there are some international versions coming out soon which claimed the numbers 1.4 and 1.5.
