Greetings!
It’s our pleasure to announce official mod support for Kingdoms and Castles via Steam Workshop!
You can subscribe to mods and banners created by other players from the community workshop. They’ll download in the background. Restart the game and you’re off with mods!
Getting Started Making a Mod
If you’re interested in developing mods for Kingdoms and Castles, I think it’s important to communicate what tools exist and what tools do not exist as well as who mod development is aimed at.
There have been some code changes to facilitate modification by modders, but there is no API other than the internal functions used by the game itself. We have embraced a tool called Harmony to inject or change code in the game. This requires a modder to have basic coding skills to succeed. Even loading new assets into the game will require custom programming.
Modding Tutorial
If you aren’t dissuaded by these coding requirements, follow along with the detailed mod tutorials I’ve created to help you get started. Please note: Each mod tutorial is designed to build on knowledge from the preceding tutorial, so it might be confusing to jump ahead.

Happy playing and happy modding!
Until next time,
Michael
