Upcoming Update: Advanced Naval Capabilities

Coming Soon (April)

The upcoming update will focus on adding new water-based unit related features. Currently, it's possible to build units that float and move in water, but because all units are constructed on land -- strictly naval units have to rely on transport and are of very limited usability. To improve this, the next update will add the ability to construct factories and most other buildings directly on the water surface.

Additionally, a new propulsion module (Ballast Tank) will be introduced; with this module a unit will be able to control its buoyancy, making it possible to design a new class of submarine units. New naval focused skirmish maps will also be available.

The update will also feature a new weapon, advanced AI difficulty customization for Skirmish and Multiplayer games, multiplayer performance improvements for slower connections, and other less major additions. It is expected to arrive sometime in April. More information and previews will follow closer to its release!
