Research Centre Update + Speed World #7 LIVE NOW!
Alongside our Research update, we'll be launching our next Speed World where cosmetic victory crowns will be awarded to the top 3 players!
Research Overhaul
Visit any Research building and behold the marvellous and compellingly named "RESEARCH" page. Here you will find a new research tree that will unleash powerful and GLOBAL effects to all of your settlements and armies.
Time To Cash In!
Finally you can exchange those Grisly Tokens you've been hording for reasons that are, well, frankly dubious and quite grim really, but here we are.
In exchange for Tokens (and a small donation of your general currency), you will be able to purchase Nodes from the Research Tree in the relevant 'flavour' of the Faction that you've been pulverising the most. As you work down the Research Branches, you will discover increasingly powerful nodes and effects.
Be advised, each Node purchase will increase the cost of the next. So it would be wise to plan ahead and determine which Faction(s) are likely going to be your biggest adversaries for the current game.
Also you can't Research your own Faction. Weirdos.
Milestones And The Rest
The experience from enduring (or inflicting) relentless savagery from countless battles is channelled down into your armies! As you purchase more and more Nodes, you will level up through 6 'Milestones'. Each Milestone allows you to recruit promoted units right out of the gates!
Initial Nodes are immediately available when building the Research Centre, however in order to progress deeper into the Research Branches, you will need to level up the building and unlock the perks via our traditional system every 6 levels.
You can research one Node at a time per Settlement and you can research additional Nodes if you have idle Research Centres across different settlements. Levelling up the Research Centre increases the speed of research.
We plan to add several more Nodes in the near future. We're just getting started!
Enjoy, experiment and go wild with this new update!
