Hi everyone! Here's a balance update.

🌱 Game Balance Adjustments

I've made a few balance adjustments.

・Facilities: All capturable facilities now provide income. (World Tree is the only one with 0 income)

　Here's how it stands now:

　- Castle: 100

　- 20: Fort, Farm, Hamlet, Tide Fort, Airship Yard, Coral Mound, Stable, Sun God♂ Cafe

　- 10: Watchtower, Bramble Hollow

　- 5: Cracked Orb

　- Changes with LV:

　 - Mine 40 / 80 / 120

　 - Banana Market 10 / 15 / 20

・Crew: Cavalry 1 + Fighter 3: 330c → 380c

・Commander Takanashi Ringo: Heart Steal♡ can no longer steal vehicles

🌱 Other Changes and Feedback

・Improved an issue where the cursor reacted to the mouse even when you weren't using it

・Fixed a bug where your own vehicles (such as a Sailship under a bridge) blocked your movement range

🌱 Next Big Update Preview

A big update to 0.98 is coming in mid-October (sometime next week).

・New Commander: Another special guest appearance.

　In a way, you could call it a "collab with another strategy game"...

　I think the skills turned out really fun and fit the character perfectly.

・New Facilities: 3 types (2 main kinds)

　- A facility that changes your units

　- 2 vehicle-related facilities

・Several New Crews

　Not regular ground crews, but vehicles and air crews.

・New Crew and Rule: "Banana King"

　Just like the campaign's main character, you lose if the King is defeated. The King has low movement and high HP.

・Play Records (if possible): A long-requested feature. I plan to add records for each battle, such as units produced,

　plus stats across all your plays.

　It's a very big feature, so if it doesn't make it in time, it will come in a later update.

Overall, this update won't affect existing maps.

It adds new things you can use to make new maps and play. Stay tuned!

🌱 Things I Won't Be Implementing

Right now most crews are ♀ (the campaign's main character is of unknown gender),

and I've received a lot of feedback that the battle graphics are cute, so they've been well received.

*Most of them were made by the pixel artist Mashimaro.

I originally planned to add a gender toggle for units.

However, making battle sprites and map icons for every unit and implementing the toggle,

plus the confusion from having more kinds of map icons, would be a huge cost.

I decided it's better to put that effort into improving gameplay and adding new content.

I had also planned to let you change things like units' skin color, but that is now undecided.

That's all for now.

Happy harvesting!
