addedCommanders,Today we're pleased to announce our participation in Steam's Endless Replayability Fest ! We have a HUGE new patch for you with many new features and QoL updates

addedKing of the Hill Game ModeA thrilling new map where the player occupies a central base and is tasked with fending off endless waves of enemies from all directions. Each wave is different from, and more difficult than, the last. We think KotH is A LOT OF FUN and a real challenge to play! Don't get too comfortable waiting around... you never know what might happen...

addedKing of the Hill Game ModeYou can share your bragging rights by screenshotting and sharing our new built-in end-game stat summary on Steam or social media. Or send them to us on our Discord . We can't wait to see how many waves you can survive.

addedVeterancyBattlefall: State of Conflict now features an automated unit upgrade system--Veterancy--which provides units that make a certain amount of kills with permanent bonuses like: increased max health, increased movement speed, health regeneration, and in some cases a different, or additional, weapon. Units achieving Veterancy will receive a badge on their unit UI indicating their new Veterancy Level. Level 1 is a small silver badge. Level 2 adds a pair of shiny golden wings to the badge.

addedVeterancyVeteran units can be faster, tougher, do more damage and bring new weapons to the fight. Use them wisely!

King of the Hill Game Mode

A thrilling new map where the player occupies a central base and is tasked with fending off endless waves of enemies from all directions. Each wave is different from, and more difficult than, the last. We think KotH is A LOT OF FUN and a real challenge to play! Don't get too comfortable waiting around... you never know what might happen...

Veterancy

Battlefall: State of Conflict now features an automated unit upgrade system--Veterancy--which provides units that make a certain amount of kills with permanent bonuses like: increased max health, increased movement speed, health regeneration, and in some cases a different, or additional, weapon. Units achieving Veterancy will receive a badge on their unit UI indicating their new Veterancy Level. Level 1 is a small silver badge. Level 2 adds a pair of shiny golden wings to the badge.

Veteran units can be faster, tougher, do more damage and bring new weapons to the fight. Use them wisely!

Refinery

The Ore Refinery has received a temporary function update for Endless Fest: Ore storage is now unlimited. Mining trucks will only briefly line up to drop off ore before turning to gather more. The rate of ore processing, 120 credits per second, remains unchanged.

The Ore Refinery has received a new permanent visual update that integrates the Current Ore Storage into the building's art via live display.

Smooth Turning

A major vehicle movement update that allows units to make more natural turning arcs.

We think you'll agree that it's a huge improvement to game look and feel.
