JANUARY PRODUCTION UPDATE
There have been numerous improvements to the build this past month, here's a brief rundown with a few sneak peeks :)
TACTICAL:
- We have implemented new Grenadiers units with high heat-damage attacks. Perfect to fend off enemy Colossi by forcing them to spend action points 'venting' rather than slashing away at your infantry.
- All units have been improved with new portraits, animations and special effects. From Heavy Cannon impacts to Colossi overheat effect.
- We are starting to implement new 'biomes' and more battle arenas variations. Here is a sneak peek of the Versailles Palace:
STRATEGY:
- There are tons of UI improvements on the Strategic map such as a new character selection screen when starting a new playthrough, or a new conscription window to recruit new battalions. The game feels more refined than ever, and we will keep improving the experience in the coming months.
- We've added a Political Goals system for determining voting and other preferences on a per-Party level that provides more granularity and coherence to our political gameplay.
- We have integrated the "Coup" mechanic that will pace your playthroughs. Reaching maximum Terror level for the first time will now trigger the narrative event, and the resulting major battle.
