Hello Heroes,
We hope you’ve been enjoying the recent tweaks we’ve made to Monsters, and as always, we welcome your feedback on this latest patch.
As we mentioned in our previous notes, our focus for this update covered a wide range of areas, including new meta-upgrades, fine-tuning the difficulty, and a bunch of balancing tweaks.
Here’s the changelog for Patch 1.0.13.0.
Balance and Changes
2 new meta-upgrades have been implemented, introducing two new features:
Ban: You can ban a building during an ongoing game. The banned building will not appear again in this game.
Skip: You can skip a level-up if you don’t want to pick up any of the available options. You will receive a portion of the XP required for the next level up.
The UI for starting a new game has been updated to feature new objectives for earning Compasses. You can also select the road and the difficulty level on the same screen.
Your Hero Damage increases at every level-up (+2% damage).
Objectives are now accessible on the Pause menu. These objectives are updated in real time.
Objectives that were previously only available at a certain difficulty level can now be completed at higher levels, too.
It is now possible to refund the upgrades 1 by 1 or all of them at the same time.
You can now change the music in the Settings menu.
The Lumber Axe is now a Sword to avoid any misunderstandings regarding the Attack speed and the Harvest speed.
The upgrade CITY - Tower Damage can now increase the damage dealt by Ice Shards.
The difficulty curve has been updated for Hard and higher difficulty levels. Monsters have less HP in early game to give you more time to build up. The difficulty of the Nightmare mode has been increased.
