We've been spending time creating and adding assets for the next chapter of the game. In the meanwhile, we've added some highly requested features and fixes.
Features
Anti-Zerg Mechanic (Work In Progress) This feature requires manual fine tuning, but we've started attempting to balance this - the right way. Large village-sized zerging now will trigger an invisible Anti-Zerg Mechanic that affects your Damage and Healing output. Some notes on how this works
It does not affect damage dealt to NPCs (even summons at the moment, though this will change)
It does not affect max stats in any way and does not interfere with Jutsu usage
It triggers on all players from villages in the map except the "weakest"
It uses the ratio of the total level of all the ninja of your village on the map vs the disadvantaged village to calculate a debuff
Debuff is limited to 30%
Even if a village has more players than you, but they are weaker (eg. They are filled with low level players) they may not be considered at a disadvantage
Missing Ninja are set to be considered a village for now
We've built the system to be very flexible and with settings changeable live. So we'll monitor how this does and adjust it instantly until we find a good balance.
Control Profiles now sync between devices automatically via Steam Cloud
