After all, not all games can be Age of Empires II or a StarCraft: Brood War. The group of people still from 1999 Armageddon worms he is one of those lucky fan bases. On Friday, Team17, the game’s developer, quietly released a major update to the title. In total, the patch includes 370 fixes, 45 changes, and 61 new features.
