UPDATE

GAME REPLAYS

After an epic battle, what could be better than saving it away for review? Saving a Replay lets you go step-by-step through the action. Pause, rewind, skip to the end, it's all there!

PUBLIC LOBBIES

Unranked is great for jumping in to the mainstream maps, but sometimes you just want to play a 2v1 map with friends. Now you can! From the main menu, go to Online Games and notice the new tabs set up for just that! Spectate your friends and watch the action unfold :)

HISTORY VIEWER

Similar to the Replay system, you can now pause and review previous actions ingame. This minor addition makes sure that you won't have to remember anything necessary for playing with precision!

BALANCE

The meta's in a great place right now! There were only a few elements proving to be just a bit too centralizing. Let's take a look...

CARRIER

• Units cannot act the same turn they are deployed

• HP 50 -> 40

• Cost 60 -> 45

Carrier's been overcentralizing both offensively and defensively. This significant nerf should greatly reduce its overbearing field presence while retaining its role in combat support.

FORT

• Heal Range 8 -> 6

• Attack Range 8 -> 5

• Sight Range 12 -> 10

As the main building to defend, Fort did too good of a job defending itself. These changes make it much easier to approach and threaten safely, while still providing it with basic tools for self-defense.

CASTLE

• Castle unlock Cost 100 -> 120

Castle units have surprisingly good reward for low risk. This raises the requirement to reach them, making the Castle upgrade riskier and more meaningful long term.

PLANNED FEATURES

This is not a final, definitive list! If you see something you really want, let us know and we'll prioritize it :) We're aiming to get them all done eventually, but there's a lot on this plate!

• Balance First and foremost, we'll keep playing! The meta's got years ahead of it, and there's always some new strategies to balance check. Expect balance updates as needed, roughly once every couple months.

• Full Campaign Intro The only thing actually missing from the game right now is a complete tutorial. Once that's in, the game's more or less complete!

• Achievements Does anybody want Steam Achievements? Those are possible! We can do those.

• Unranked Spectating Spectating is limited to Friendly Lobbies right now. If there's interest, we can add a mode to spectate other game modes as well!

• Ranked Mode Ranked mode is Ready. It's waiting on an active community to call upon it from the heavens and support regular ranked games!

• Steam Workshop For the mapmakers and replay enthusiasts out there, quickly share with your friends through Workshop Integration! (Is what it will say once this is done...)

• Campaign Mode A singleplayer mode would be incredible in this game. The only reason it hasn't been done yet, is because of how many other important features there are. Even if it's far away right now, we have plans for this!
