Hey everyone!
This update is a little late, but I hope its scale makes up for the wait. Introducing the new patch!
Key Feature: Progression System Overhaul
The centerpiece of this update is the new unit acquisition system. Now, access to rarer units unlocks gradually as you play more battles.
Battles Played | Max Unit Rarity Unlocked |
|---|---|
2 | Uncommon |
4 | Rare |
6 | Epic |
8 | Legendary |
After unlocking a new rarity tier, you are guaranteed access to at least one unit of that tier and all previous tiers.
To balance this new system, 3 new Common units have been added (Hunter, Lumberjack, Smith) and one Legendary unit—the Archmage. The balance of all existing units has also been completely reworked.
The new goal of the game is to reach 10 victories. After that, you can either reset your progress and start over or enter the "Playoffs" mode. From now on, only the results from the Playoffs will be counted on the leaderboard. These changes are designed to give players more intermediate goals and to make the appearance of units in the shop more predictable and fair.
Interface Update: Shop and Army Management
Shop: Units can now be purchased with a single click, which better fits the dynamic nature of the game. Additionally, merchant tips have been added to the shop to help new players get started.
Army Management: New convenient features have been added:
Double-click: Splits a squad in half.
Drag and drop: Allows you to split off any number of units from a squad.
Right-click: Disbands a squad.
Other Improvements and Fixes
The battle results screen has been redesigned to better match the updated gameplay dynamics.
Added hoof clatter sound for cavalry.
Improved AI: It now more actively protects its ranged units.
The compensation system for lost units has been rebalanced.
Fixed the playback speed of the movement sound.
The cursor has been redesigned and is now dynamic.
Fixed a bug that allowed starting a battle twice.
Fixed a bug that allowed entering the shop before bonus money was calculated.
I hope you enjoy these changes! I look forward to your feedback. Play the game, share your impressions, and don't forget to add it to your Wishlist!
