Hello Commanders, The mid-season has passed but is not forgotten. Youll find all the prize winners below, with a couple of extra players securing activity awards due to cosmic rays interfering with our computations. All winners will be contacted shortly. One of the eternal struggles is the balance between basic (T1) and advanced (T2) units. It has become clear recently that this is still weighed too heavily in favour of T2, primarily because of the explosive nature of T2 MEXs. To combat that weve made T2 MEXs more expensive and reduced their income. Let the Ant hordes terrorise the battlefield! Grenadiers also got a range increase to help against the number of turrets the modern Commander finds on the battlefield. The AI got smarter. Again. Now when its giant force is reduced to one Dox while en route to a target, it will give thought to whether thats really enough to eliminate your entire base and win the game. Then when it retreats the Dox it will use a safe path rather than the most direct one. Its also looking for more opportunities to combine its forces into ultra mega death platoons. A real thing, let us assure you; check the lore. The mod Cover the Line had become must have for many players, allowing them to easily split up units to dodge AoE and put troops into optimal formations for maximising firepower. It was also responsible for a lot of crashes. Now, let it not be said that we are not merciful, so rather than executing an immediate SXX strike upon this mod and all those who use it, we have instead added custom line formations to the game. Select some troops and get to right-click dragging that mouse to unleash the power of custom line formations. Basic Discord support has also been implemented for ranked. Amaze your friends, not only with your skills, but also the amount of time your profile shows you as playing ranked mode. Theyll be left wondering why you havent hit Uber yet. This, and more, can be found in the patch notes below. Feast your eyes. Until next time.
