Players of Earth, welcome to your monthly update on Athena Crisis!
First, Athena Crisis will be on sale for 20% Off during the Steam Autumn Sale, so let your friends know! We're biased, but we also thinks it makes a great gift.
This month, we’re featuring the Commander. Armies are composed of master strategists and troops on the ground executing orders. Then, there's the Commander unit, who specializes in making the worst slide decks you’ve ever seen. They’re not just bureaucrats though, as Commanders do provide your units with an attack bonus when they are adjacent.
The Commander’s associated skill, Commanding Force, further buffs your leader units with a 100% attack bonus. Now that’s synergy!
We’ve made quite a few changes across the multiverse, which include: a new curated campaign from the community, new skills, quality of life improvements, and some exciting news about the future of AC on mobile platforms. We’re also testing a new demo experience that will allow players to try out the prequel campaign. Let’s get to it!
NEW AND IMPROVED
New: Curated Campaign - Pressing Onwards This beautifully crafted campaign is a joy to play, and adds its own take on how the story might continue after the conclusion of The Athena Crisis campaign. By making this campaign curated, 47 more stars are now obtainable in-game. Completing the campaign will unlock the Seatbelts On skill, described below.
New: Official Athena Crisis Mobile Apps for iOS & Android We are ready to start beta testing the official iOS and Android apps that will soon replace the current mobile web apps. If you'd like to test the beta apps, please inquire in the official Discord.
- NewPrequel Campaign Demo Experience We built a new demo experience which allows playing the full Prequel Campaign before buying Athena Crisis. If you haven't bought Athena Crisis yet and would like to give this new experience a try, inquire in our Discord.
New: Favorite skills are now also displayed in the skill selector for invasions.
New: Seamless Updates Athena Crisis will now automatically apply updates as you navigate to another screen. This should result in more seamless, faster and fewer broken updates. The update banner will no longer be shown on the main menu after the next update.
New: You can now click the campaign name/copy icon on the top left of the campaign editor to share the link to a campaign with someone (e.g. for playtesting).
New: You can now open the game info dialog while another player takes their turn
New: Transported Unit Flyout When focusing on a transport unit, carried units are now shown just below the unit name.
New: Content Reporting You can now report users or community maps and campaigns directly in-game. Please use this feature if you find any offending content or if you feel like something shouldn't be part of Athena Crisis.
- NewImproved Connection Handling The connection handling after restarting from an update or a loss in connection should be better now.
New: The primary cards at the top in the campaign screen or in the map editor now have icons, indicating that you can interact with them similar to how you can expand the player card in-game.
New: The Damage Chart now has number inputs next to sliders similar to the Entity Panel in the Map Editor.
New: Actions to Increase Funds and Charges in the Editor You can now add actions to increase funds or charges for a Start
