Kingdom Two Crowns is a 2018 strategy video game developed by Thomas van den Berg and Coatsink and published by Raw Fury. It is the third entry in the Kingdom series. Players control a mounted monarch as they attempt to defend their kingdom from a race of monsters. The monarch can build defenses to fend off night attacks and recruit villagers to perform certain jobs. The game features single-player and cooperative multiplayer modes, with the latter allowing two people to play together via a split screen. The developers originally designed Kingdom Two Crowns as an expansion pack for Kingdom: New Lands (2016). As the expansion grew, they decided to release it as a separate game. Kingdom Two Crowns was released for Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One on December 11, 2018, and for iOS and Android on April 28, 2020. It received positive reviews, gaining praise for its strategic gameplay, artwork, and cooperative multiplayer mode, though its slow pace was criticized. (Full article...)

Lidia Patty

Lidia Patty (born 1969) is a Bolivian politician who is a former member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Movimiento al Socialismo (Movement for Socialism). A member of the Kallawaya, an indigenous people native to western Bolivia, she was a domestic worker and schoolteacher before entering politics. After maintaining a low profile in the Chamber of Deputies, Patty gained national attention after her term ended when she was the principal complainant in the 2019 Bolivian political crisis, which resulted in the criminal prosecution of the former president Jeanine Áñez. A polemical figure for her frequent denunciations of opposition and ruling party officials, Patty ran unsuccessfully in the 2022 election for Ombudsman of Bolivia, and was briefly the Bolivian consul to Puno, Peru, in 2023 before being withdrawn amid deteriorating relations between the two countries. This official portrait of Patty as a member of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly was taken in 2016.
