New Features

Flying Units and Structures

Both factions have received a new unit, and a structure to produce that unit.

  • Helicopter: The UCF now have an attack helicopter that can hover over water to capture territories. Produced by the Helipad.

  • Zedplin: Chromatech now have a hot air balloon that fires zombies, which excels at hunting down enemy artillery. Produced by the Rigor Riser.

This also comes with a new passive available in Wave Defence, Air Commander, that allows you to take to the field to directly control air units!

New Modifier

The Happening modifier has been added to both wave defence and skirmish modes. This modifier allows for various events to occur. Right now just the Blood Moon, raising all corpses as neutral zombies, and Lightning Storm, however more will be added as time goes on.

New Commanders

Each faction got a new Commander, with a new power and one new passive.

  • Instructor: The UCF got a commander with the Field Promotion power, upgrading all grunts in range to the nearest special tile. Their passive grants bonus stats to elite units.

  • Economist: Chromatech got a commander with Zombonomics, a power that converts zombies in the area into bonus stock for the nearby territories.

New Missions

The next two Chromatech missions chronicling Dr. Strangehue’s quest for revenge have been released, bringing the Chromatech campaign to near the end and featuring the new flying units.

Global High Scores

Campaign and Wave Defence maps now have the option to see the global high scores close to you, so you can compete to be the best in the world!

New Map

Wing Tide: A new dual Wave Defence / Skirmish map focusing on aerial units

Handicap/Bonus System

There is now an option in skirmish games to add a bonus or handicap to human players. This allows for novice players to fight on even footing with more experienced ones.

Wave Defence Economy Revamp

Structures that produced bonus resources were too strong in Endless Mode, so they were reduced by ½ in that mode (single resource structures go down to a 50% chance of getting 1). Also, a new structure, the Bank, has been added as a potential Permastructure in the store in Wave Defence. This gives 2 resources per wave in Wave Defence and 1 in Endless.

Updates/Bug Fixes

  • Continued to juice the effects of the game

  • Tuning powers/structures for better balance

  • Continued to improve performance

  • Improved/optimized pathfinding for better performance and less units getting stuck

  • Made waves 20+ harder on Endless Mode

  • Fixed a variety of localization issues

  • Fixed some crash bugs related to unit removal/summoning
