Mir 1 will launch at 13:00 GMT on Thursday 1st December and we’d appreciate it if you could give our new Russian fans a hearty Stronghold welcome.

Today’s update to the game will affect various in-game screens, as well as adding a few new custom avatar items for you to obsess over!

Rest assured Kingdoms will soon be receiving lots of Firefly love. We have features on the mind and content on our hard drives.

2012 will be a good year for Kingdoms players…
