changedPhase II FeaturesPhase II is a major milestone for us as it covers the initial introduction of the flag bearer spawn system intended to simulate the reserve of a regiment. The other highlighted major feature of Phase II is going to be drastically improving the immersion and variation of the environments of the game - we hope you remembered to pack that gum blanket, soldier!
addedFlag Bearer Spawning V1This first version of the flag bearer spawn system has been a long time coming. We’ve had to rewrite the spawn system of the game as well as create a system to calculate where to allow for players to spawn (it’s no good to spawn inside a rock, under the ground, etc). The flag bearer spawning system provides players with another option to the default base spawn wave one that has been present in Skirmishes since day 1. Now, players can opt to spawn on the flag bearer provided his formation buff stance is not “Out of Line”. Once selected, players will be placed in a spawn queue and spawned on the flag bearer when they have reached the end of the queue. The flag bearer is designed to be a slow trickle of reinforcements and not act like a mobile base that spawns in countless of players on each spawn wave and thus the time to spawn on the flag bearer will vary wildly depending on how many other players are wanting to spawn on the flag. Should the flag bearer be killed it is no longer possible to spawn on the flag we’ll make it so other players can pick up the flag and thus becomes the new flag bearer in a future update. Should no player pick up the flag it will eventually timeout and the flag bearer class option will be available to select on the class selection screen once again.

Hello and welcome to the Fortieth Field Report!
Hello everyone and welcome back to our field report news segment - it’s most certainly been a while since our last one (6 months!) so we’re happy to be kicking things off with some exciting news indeed. Before we go ahead we’d like to thank all of our backers and followers for allowing us to build War of Rights. This project would not have been possible without the financial support and willingness to alpha test provided by you. Thank you! Lastly we’d like to remind you that the game is currently in its alpha phase and thus any presented features and mechanics are subject to change throughout the development of the game. With that being said, let’s get into it!
Skirmishes Phase II Released!
We’re very pleased to finally be able to release Skirmishes Phase II and thus open up the alpha to all “Sergeant” tiered backers and above! Below is a highlight list of some of the major features Phase II brings to the game.
