Greetings fellow ants,
Let’s start this one off with the balancing and explaining what we did to make the Information Upgrades more fun and useful. Currently, Information Upgrades are too expensive and don’t perform as well as we have intended them to.
This is why we have severely reduced the price for most of them and the space they take up (a patch note will be coming with the Summer Update detailing these exact changes). Coupled with the new unit and new power, we think you will soon see added value to this forgotten upgrade branch.
But these are not the only balancing changes; we changed some of the super predators, but more importantly, the support units. Snails will move 30% faster, while Aphids will give a speed boost to units around them when they are moving (instead of healing for units that are unhurt).
We have also added some Quality of Life improvements. The first one is the option to make and save different loadouts.
This is coupled with the main course: the possibility to choose your saved loadout right before launching a PvP match. This means that you’ll see which map you will be playing on and choose your loadout based on that information. This works for all the non-Story modes. (So in the Skirmish and Multiplayer modes)
Also, we have changed the fact that flying units could not be sent to an enemy nest. Rhino beetles will now be easier to use.
The Summer Update is slowly approaching, but not there yet. We still have a couple more things to tell you about before it lands in your garden!
⚔️ Don’t forget to tune at 4pm CEST/10am EST/7am PDT to watch an Exhibition Match between the Dev & Community Representatives, featuring the new Summer Update content ☀️
For the glory of the colony 🌿🐜
