| Patch 1.9 | 2026-01-26 | Some of the most important changes in this update are about time: How fast can you get to the front line, how long does it take Snake poison to kill...and, yes, it's also been a very, very long time since the last patch. I really would have loved to work more on on Tooth and Tail (and also play more), but life made me focus on entirely different things. Huge thanks to everyone who is here despite the radio silence from my side!I am incredibly happy to still see some new players who just picked up the game, as well as others with >1000h and counting; a community that keeps discussing balance changes, making skins and mods, organizing, streamin |

| Patch 1.8.1 | 2021-12-20 | During the last few months, Sergeant Volkov and the Matriarch demonstrated their full potential when working as a team: Wolf & Owl have been proven to be an incredibly strong combination, because doubling the spawn rate of an Owl did not only mean twice the damage, but also twice the meat shield. Once they hit the field, fighting the almost endless stream of Mice quickly became a disheartening endeavor for the opponent. Preventing the duo, however, was not easy, either: especially Lizards, Snakes, Skunks and Machine Guns served as powerful tools to safely get to the late game. That is why this balance patch introduces several changes, not onl |

| New Tournament Series + Championship Season | 2021-01-30 | Today a new tournament series starts: The Furball Cup There are quite a few competitions going on for TNT right now, so the purpose of these tournaments will be to provide a periodic single day event that is slightly different from the Pocketbot Cup (an automated tournament happening each Monday). Trumpet is kicking off the series today with the 1st Furball Cup: Saturday Open on his Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/trumpetsc2 The first open tournament starts now, at 1pm Eastern time. It is a double elimination bracket. To prevent the tournament running too long, not all games will be casted, instead the games will run in parallel. The si |
| Patch 1.7.1: Vyeshal Ventures | 2020-11-13 | This patch comes with three new languages (Ukrainian, Esperanto, and Dutch) as well as a couple of balance tweaks to make certain playstyles a bit more risky. Most importantly: Barbed Wire no longer heals and Mole Warrens even deteriorate, so they keep most of their strength, but you better make it count! See all the details about this and some other, small improvements below. Multiplayer Balance Pig: 18 HP (from 20 HP). Toad: moves at the speed of regular units on roads (x1.3), on all terrain types. Mole: Warren to 18 HP (from 25 HP), and the Warren loses 3 HP whenever a Mole spawns from it. Chameleon: can attack immediately after uncloaking |

| Patch 1.7 : Qui va là ? (+Season 5) | 2020-06-24 | French localization, the ability to reveal cloaked enemies, and a ladder reset - these are the headliners of this patch. We also threw some small balance tweaks in the mix, mainly to make poking and siege strategies stronger, and added a few minor fixes and features (Fog of War on the Minimap and first steps towards Custom Mission support). Season 5 All ranked points have been reset to zero, again, season 5 has started! Eight players managed to get beyond 1000 points, this season: Congrats to Arilou, Gent, James, Imari, QQ, Melvinfro, Jakobi, and mocaccino!

| Patch 1.6.1.0: Changing Times | 2020-03-11 | Most of the changes in this patch are rather subtle or even behind the scenes. Especially the balance changes are mostly about timing, e.g. allowing surprisingly quick Mole attacks and making it easier to get tier 3 units on the board. It should also lower the efficiency of the popular mass Falcon + Chameleon combo in the late game. On top of that: some details have been improved (or fixed) about rally commands and map generation, the difficulty slider now has a bigger impact on the Civilized missions in the Story Mode, and some new possibilities have been added for modders. The community also keeps organizing one event after the other: on to |
| Tooth and Tail Championship 2020.1 | 2020-03-05 | A Championship for Tooth and Tail is about to start next week. This one is meant for beginners and experienced players alike! It will be a league system with different divisions, so you will only play against players at roughly your own skill level. All of the leagues are round-robin, so everyone will play everyone else in their group. There are three divisions playing at the same time: Premier Division: the crème de la crème of Tooth and Tail players split in two groups (until the playoffs). Intermediate Division: You are experienced but you can't compete with the top players? This is your division. There is only one group, but you can get a |

| Patch 1.6: "As You Like It" + Season 4 | 2020-01-10 | The year starts with a new version of Tooth and Tail! Several new features are focused on more customization and comfort. The headliners are: a difficulty slider for the campaign, and Steam Workshop Mod support for multiplayer.

Difficulty Slider for Story Mode You can now scale the difficulty of the campaign whenever you are on the Mission Briefing screen. 20% (lowest) should allow you to get past even the hardest missions, 180% (highest) is supposed to |
| Workshop Mod beta & 21 Generals | 2019-12-19 | New Public Test Beta Workshop Mod Support is Ready for Testing The next patch is supposed to come with the possibility to share unit/balance Mods on the Steam Workshop. A test version of this feature is now available on the public_test branch. (The possibility to upload Mods to the Workshop is locked by default during the beta, because Mods are not fully compatible with versions before 1.6. However, you can contact me for instructions on how to unlock that feature. Here's a guide on how to create, publish, and play Mods.) Other Features The new version also includes improvements and fixes of other changes introduced in the last public test ve |
