Our second update is a big one. We're very excited to deliver a highly requested feature -- the ability to change the Templars you are deploying into a level.
To be specific, after a level starts and the introductory scene has complete you have the option to "swap a Templar". This allows you to see the layout of the level and the position of your Templars so you can make the perfect swaps. I've included the three screenshots showing the process below!
- You may swap the Templar on the map for any living veteran in your roster.
- To complete a swap, you must pay the difference in Supply Points (SP) between the two Templars. A starting Scout costs 350 SP, a starting Soldier costs 400, and a starting Neptune costs 500 SP. To swap a Soldier for a Neptune, you'll need 100 SP. If you swapped a Soldier for a Scout, you'd gain 50 SP. This swap rule means you won't be able to swap every Templar every time, but it established the balance of your core forces and your specialist additions.
- You cannot swap your Captain or an Engineer or any other specialist who is required by the level (at times, a Hyrda). However, all other Templar types may be swapped.
- You may only swap a Templar before the Templar moves or takes any action. For example, you can't cast a Soldier's buff and then swap them out.
- Swapping is not permitted in the first 3 levels of the game, and the feature is explained and enabled in the fourth level.
- Each level has a hard cap on how many Engineers you can swap in.
- Check the library page on Swapping a Templar.
There are also other balance improvements, story and library improvements, plus a pile of bug fixes for all.
Please leave a review to support your devs and further updates!!
