Unofficial 2.02 is a community-produced patch that was created as a means of fixing 2.01's numerous bugs and grave imbalances in order to make the game more enjoyable. Although the 2.02 patch is required to play in ClanWars, the only competitive league for RotWK, it is designed for all RotWK players, not just for ClanWars use. Download the patch at the 2.02 Info Page:
