The main thing in the update:
- The mechanics of elite squads and control were abolished, but more advanced mechanics appeared instead. Regions appeared on the global map where it is possible to develop production and infrastructure.
- Production in regions increases the production of resource points - a new resource on the global map that replaced elite services and which can be spent on improving regions, supplying troops and increasing the success rate of the selected event. Resource points are awarded for victories on the battlefields, for opening some storylines, and for the production level of each of the regions.
- Infrastructure in the regions - a new mechanic in which you have to monitor the supply of troops in selected locations, which, if desired, will give you the opportunity to increase the starting amount of resources on them. Infrastructure development, like an increase in the supply of gold, materials or food, takes place for resource points.
You can find out more about the new mechanics in the updated game help.
What else?
- Hiring troops, building buildings and casting spells is now possible with new hotkeys!
- General interface improvements, information separators, game logo changes, bug fixes and game code improvements are also intended to improve your comfort in the game.
- And, of course, two new Steam Achievements related to Infrastructure and Production became available.
- You can also check out the updated trailer, in which the outdated elements of the game were replaced with new ones.
Saves from the previous version of the game should be automatically converted to the new one, and all progress should be saved, moreover, the accumulated points of elite services should be listed in resource points (1:1). It is recommended to make a backup copy of the save file DF.save located in %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Dark_facets, and if you have any difficulties, please report it in the appropriate section in the Steam Community Center.
I wish you success on the Dark facets battlefields and enjoy your game!
