Greetings Commanders,
Another monthly update is here and adds a new fast paced game mode for you to test your command skills on, as well as friends features to help you better coordinate your battles. We’ve also made another large swath of fixes to improve your battle experiences.
Up-to 8 players enter this Free-for-all arena mode, with only one emerging victorious.
All players who enter the Round Robin mode will be matched against each other in rounds. These 1v1 rounds will be fought simultaneously on isolated battlefields within the same map
Each round starts with a short window of time to build units at your core base. You can choose any unit, from any faction, with their abilities already unlocked. Choose wisely, however, as you are limited to 400 minerals, 400 fuel, and 50 population points.
When the build phase is over, you’ll command your units to fight. Survive to win the round and score a point. Once all the rounds and face-offs have been completed, the player with the most points wins.
Quick reflexes, flexible strategies, and a deep understanding of unit synergies and counters will see you prevail.
So, if you ever wanted to know how a behemoth mech and imperator artillery tank combo would fare, or any combination of units really, then this is the game mode for you.
We’ve also added a host of new features that allow you to easily find your friends in game and set up battles either against or with each other.
