Since its Early Access release in 2022, the Crate team has been adding multiple updates to give players even more tools and in-game features to make Farthest Frontier one of the deepest city builders out there. With the new 0.9.2 update, out on March 27, 2024; that trend continues with a slew of new ways to protect and grow your town.

With update 0.9.2, the Crate team isn’t horsing around and are focusing on bringing a new emphasis on combat. A big addition to combat is the introduction of stables. Players will now be able to defend their houses with a cavalry of horsemen. Here’s a look at some of the other soldier types and features charging in with the latest update:
 

  • New soldier types are available to recruit. From light to heavy infantry, archers, pikemen and horsemen; there will be more ways to ensure your town can withstand the attacks from invading armies.

  • Raiders and invading armies also have horsemen and catapults at their disposal.

  • The soldier management system has also been overhauled. You can now select all units of a particular type, control them as a group, and choose their combat stances.


Along with the cavalry arriving, the 0.9.2 update brings the ability to request specific and much-needed resources for your town from visiting merchants for premium rates. For the pacifist players, chickens and goats are also being added alongside some new quality-of-life features. Update 0.9.2 also brings mod support for the creation of new buildings and decorations to make your town your own!

The 0.9.2 update for Farthest Frontier will be available on March 27, 2024. Farthest Frontier is currently available in Early Access on Steam.
