We are now adding content patches every other week. Our goal is to set them live every other Thursday. The first patch is all about balancing and some additional goodies.
Ranged vs Melee balancing
Main purpose of this content patch is to make melee and ranged combat a little bit more balanced. We are also aiming to make Goons, Scouts, Dogs and Boars to be more relevant and fun. As always we would really like your feedback on this changes.
- Rookies are now called Skirmishers and will have a more defined role as a fast but weak attack unit.
- Scouts/Goons melee skill increased from 2 to 3. Scouts/Goons also gets the Gunslinger skill (see below)
- All excepts Skirmishers will have their movement reduced to 4.
- Charging will no longer give an extra attack, only +1 to melee skill.
New tactic cards
We've added two new Tactic cards in this content patch. To Unlock them, just enter your Hideout between today and until the next Content Patch (in roughly 2 weeks time). After that you will have to Unlock them normally by increasing your in-game Fame.
Scrap Vulture (Scrappers)
Any time the target deals melee damage they will restore their armor by 1.
lasts 3 turns
Spore skin (Tribe-kin)
Every time the unit is hit they exude a cloud of spores that makes them -15% harder to hit for that turn (stacks up to 2x times). Spore skin lasts 2 turns.
